I've only been to one Paint n' Sip with The Painted Syrah and it was a blast. She was so patient…read moreand even though busy with us all asking her to show us how to do this and that she did so with a smile and friendly chatter. The one problem I had was it was too close for comfort, we were literally packed in like sardines, elbows bumping and had to be extra careful as not to spill anything, yikes, paint spills would not be good. It wasn't possible to avoid a cough in the face even if you tried. I'd like to attend more of these but I'm not too keen on that setup. But if you're okay with it, then you really need to go, even if you've never painted before like me, she makes it so easy. You'll come home with your masterpiece and feel really proud of yourself, lol, you really will.

I've attended two events with The Painted Syrah & I had a blast at both! I was a little apprehensive the first time I went, but Sarah is a terrific teacher & quickly alleviated the anxiety I had about not knowing how to paint! All of the supplies are included in your event fee, so you just show up, sit down & get to painting! Both of the events I attended were at local restaurants, so my friends & I ordered some food (and wine!) to enjoy while we painted! In addition to being a very talented artist, it's obvious Sarah is comfortable working with all types of people! There were over fifteen people in the first party I attended & I was thoroughly impressed with Sarah's ability to instruct such a large group & provide individual assistance to everyone throughout the evening. She has great tips for beginners (like me!) & knows how to fix any type of beginner's boo-boos (like mine!). The Painted Syrah is a Tri-Cities' treasure & Sarah has a gift for making sure everyone takes home a masterpiece & a smile!

Wow! What a hidden gem! Joy maintains a quaint litte art studio in The Heights in Hood River…read more Recently, my wife reserved Joy's studio for my daughter's six year old birthday party, since she loves all things art related. My daughter and all her friends had a fantastic and really fun time painting their unicorns. The girls had approximately 2 hours to paint, and it felt like the perfect amount of time for what was needed. Additionally, for all that the girls got to do and for this unique birthday party experience, the overall price was very reasonable. We'll definitely have to keep Joy's Art Studio in mind for future parties and activities.
