I loved the piece I created and it was really cool to see how everyone's painting had their own unique look. I liked mine so much, that I opted to buy the picture frame so it was ready to hang up when I got home. The price for the class was also super reasonable and it's great that you can BYOB. Can't wait to come back for another girls' night out!

They provide the canvas and painting supplies and an instructor in their studio. You pick the theme you want to have for your class and invite people you know to the party. You are encouraged to bring refreshments to the class to share with others. In this case everyone either brought wine or food to nibble on. Even if you aren't an artist you can create a nice work of art. Pictures of previous projects adorn the walls and counters and front window display. There is a long table with stools and easels with your paints and brushes. It is a fun atmosphere with great instruction on how to play with the paints and brushes to achieve your work of art. You are encouraged to add your own touches to your liking. The wine and apps are an added benefit to a comfortable and stress free atmosphere. Everyone had a great time and lots of us took pictures of the activities. The owner got everyone together for a group photo with their creations and sent a card and group photo to every one of the people who attended the class. It was a nice touch. A tip jar is on the counter if you want to leave an extra something for your instructor. I highly recommend this if you're looking for something fun and different to do. My art piece now adorns one of the walls in my home.

This is definitely the smallest board and brush I have been to. I came on a busy night, it was a…read moreteacher special so you got a free small board to do. 6 people were at my table which wasn't very big. The main board you get is usually very big so we were bumping into each other a lot. Then when it came to drying there was only a small space where a fan could fit and all the boards crammed there (aka, mine didn't dry much). Basically this location is really small which makes it really loud! This doesn't have to do with this location but the company chooses way too small of fonts and images sometimes that it's basically impossible to peel. Then the blue adhesive side doesn't stick well to the stained wood. Therefore, my paint work always looks messy. I heard If you do like a white wash over the stain it sticks better? But I don't always like the look of it. They need to have thicker lettering and stronger adhesive! Still it's a fun activity to do with friends!
