And then there was a self guided tour to see the winged foot statues and some others as well. And there was a coupon for food at the start line brewery included too. The person who helped me get my tour started was very nice and helpful. This space is on the small side but it is very nice and clean. Feels a bit on the homey side.

I recently had my Sprinkle at Canvas N Cup and it was perfect! The owner, Mahsa, was amazing and so accommodating! We booked a specific date for the party so we had the whole studio to ourselves! We were allowed to bring in our own food that we had catered. The studio was very clean and everything was organized by price. We had given everyone a price point to choose up to and they could pick whatever projects they wanted to make. Mahsa was so helpful when anyone had any questions or needed help with their project! All of the projects came out perfect and everyone had a blast! I would highly recommend this studio for all types of gatherings/events or just going with a friend for a the drop in classes that she is always offering! I cannot wait to go back! Thank you Mahsa for the most perfect Sprinkle! read more

I cannot recommend this wonderful painting/craft studio enough. I have known the owner for a long time, but never fully realized how creative and talented she is until I took one of her classes. She is also a great teacher, so it really doesn't matter if you come in not knowing much about painting or crafting. She makes the whole experience fun and she knows how to bring "the artist" out in everyone. Not only is this a great place to spend a few hours creating something you will want to take home and proudly show it off, you can also hold events (birthdays and other special occasions, friend-group excursions), but also fund-raisers (where the owner will allocate a % of profits to the cause) to give back to the community. Please try this place out. read more

I recently hosted my daughter's 7th birthday at Canvas N Cup and cannot say enough good things about Mahsa and her studio! Mahsa was great at engaging the girls and directing them with their paintings. She commanded their attention, kept them focused and encouraged and assisted along the way. The party was the appropriate amount of time (2 hours) for 7 year olds and Mahsa was ready with activities should we have needed them. The studio was very clean and Mahsa was focused on making sure it was a fun experience for my daughter and her friends. All of the girls left the party planning to go back and paint again with Mahsa. I highly recommend a party at Canvas N Cup and will definitely be heading back soon. read more

Canvas n Cup virtual paint party was perfect for my College Sorority Sisters and me. We all live in different cities/states and had the hardest time trying to plan and connect for our 25th reunion. However, Mahsa and her team coordinated everything for us to make it memorable and so much fun. Of course, the wine helped as well. :) Initially, I was skeptical, but I took the chance to reach out and I'm so glad I did. They were very responsive and our kits were delivered within 2 days to everyone individually. It was a seamless process. Jean was our instructor and it felt like she was part of us. Thanks Mahsa and Jean for creating this virtual space that allowed us to relax and have fun. Vanessa read more

We had our daughter's 6th birthday party at Canvas n Cup. Scheduling the party was simple, Mahsa (who is absolutely amazing) called to confirm the day before, and everyone had a blast. There was a ton of room for the kids and parents. It is very clean and organized. The kids had many different options of pieces they could paint (each child was able to paint two pieces). There is a separate area for cake and snacks which was perfect. The price is unbelievable and worth every penny. Myself and some of the moms from the party are planning on going back for a "mommy's night out" paint night. I can not say enough good things about Canvas n Cup!! read more

Canvas n Cup went above and beyond for my son's virtual birthday parties. Mahsa created an amazing Hotwheels themed painting for the kids party. The pre-sketched canvases were perfect for the age group (6 year old birthday). Kristin did a great job with our family party. She allowed my son to lead the group by asking the family questions/making sure they were keeping up with the pace. The virtual party allowed our family across 4 states to participate.

So glad we chose Canvas n Cup to host our 8yo's birthday party!
