We were staying in the Des Moines area and looking to kill some time before heading to the theatre…read moreon a Saturday, and a quick Google search brought us to Painting with a Twist. We were intrigued by the idea of painting and pouring a candle, even though we aren't artistic by any means and felt a bit out of our element. We were "walk-ins" and when we arrived, they set us up with paints and materials, and showed us the books to choose a design with step-by-step instructions. Beverages were available for purchase - we had cans of soda (2 for $3, very reasonable!). The vibe is creative and welcoming, and the staff are friendly, encouraging, and make you feel artistic even if you're not. There's space for both scheduled sessions and walk-ins, as well as painting classes (one started after we arrived). Everything felt very organized and cohesive. Once we finished our paintings, a staff member guided us through pouring our candles - we even mixed scents, and they smelled amazing! After pouring, we left and returned about two hours later to pick up our finished candles. We had a fantastic time. This was a fun, creative, and inexpensive experience - just $63 total for the two of us to each paint and pour a scented candle, plus two beverages. Highly recommend! Disclaimer: I said I'm not an artist, so go easy on me when you see my pics! :-)

I also appreciate the clean folks that are keeping the place spotless. I also appreciate some of the equipment being bolted down to the floor so people can't make a mess with them. Now, I wish they would clean up the weights for the lifters who can't seem to do the math and end up mixing up the weights all over. e.g. there is no need to have 3 5 lbs and a 2.5 lb hanging on the side of the squat rack. The other equipment is normally worse. If all the weights were labeled with where they belong, and cleaned up and organized once a week it would be great and it would be even nicer. The rest of this still stands.
