They make it as easy as possible for you to paint your painting. They model the steps with verbal directions and are more than willing to give you personal tips. The only downside, that I've encountered, is that they go over the time. It's not a big deal unless you have other plans after.

The owner guides you along through the project. Each of us encouraged to make the painting our own. It was here I discovered painting. Have since signed up for 2 more projects....can't wait. There are Crafty Kiddo's Art camps and project days. She always has something for kids to do outside the shop for free. The kids enjoy being allowed to draw on the sidewalk with chalk. As the Grandparent of a Special Needs child this place is exactly what my Grand child needed. Her project slots fill up fast. I am also going to sign up for a few private classes to learn more about painting. I am a photographer, but this allows me to explore a new media. I had lost most of my camera abilities after a series of mini strokes. I am so grateful for this shoppe and how it has allowed me to find my inner artist I didn't know was there....away from a camera.

Just this summer alone I've been to painted plate 3 separate times! (Parties, girls nights and…read morewhatnot) Each time something different impacted the experience in a negative way. One trip we sat by the window and we were all boiling!!! On their Facebook/IG it always says come in and enjoy A/C but the employee told us it's always super hot by the windows, so no hope of a cool environment if you're in a big party. On another visit (with my 5yr old) it took them almost 50min to bring out her Italian soda. We basically took it to go at that point. I also feel like prices have gone up a lot. The average piece is around $50 or you can paint a ceramic animal for closer to $20. Overall I know I'll be back because the employees are great and getting to paint your own pottery is fun, but I wish the building/food experience was better! Still 4 stars, and watch their social media for deals!

When it's busy, the place can get awfully squishy so I'd recommend making a reservation during weekends and holiday seasons. They also have coffee and ice cream. Regardless of the season, they still push out the finished projects in the same time so we were there on a Sunday, our items were ready for pick up the next Monday. Once your seat is reserved, you walk in and pick your items to paint and a helper will bring it to your table. The paints are on the table and you need to find the number that matches the sample pallet, which is very helpful because it shows you what the paint will look like afterwards. You can write the numbers on the paper on your table to help remember what colors you're using as a helpful tip. There's many sizes of brushes and paint pens. Afterwards add your name on the bottom and take a picture of your work, that's how you claim it.

My boyfriend wanted to take me out and plan something that I liked to do and naturally, when he…read morethought of me, two things came to mind: booze and painting pictures of cats. We decided to go on an adventure and take a painting class together. He, an engineer, didn't think himself a painter or an artist at all. I consider myself more of the artsy-fartsy type and was completely ecstatic about going to this class! I walked into this little hole-in-the-wall in Renton and was greeted very kindly by the owner, Bev, and a guest artist. Some booze and snacks were had and then we entered the art room. Not officially called "the art room," but I thought it was a clever description. The painting process was explained and easy to understand. Every painting seemed very unique and easy enough to learn. Even though my bf wasn't an artist, his painting turned out wonderful! We had a great time. I recommend going after work with the girls or for a birthday party. I brought home a complete work of art and it was a really good time. Some suggestions: eat dinner ahead of time, come early to find parking, and you might not want to be a perfectionist because the two hours we had went by really quick. I'd like to go to a longer session. All the paintings look so RAD!
