The class itself was really fun, and was a great balance between being very hands on in crafting your own art piece while also being comfortably guided for safety and to make sure you make something that actually looks good so you'll enjoy what you take home. I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience or wanting to try a new art form! Only thing is that it's a fairly pricey experience, so might not plan on being a recurring activity.

I drew a slip for 20% off my purpose but shopping the website got 30% but you just choose the type of item not the one you pick from many. With my reusable shopping bag I got a few visits ago, I got another 5% off. I was also about to put my name in 3 drawings and depending on how much I brought, a free gift. It was hard choosing just a few items. I knew I wanted a snail and when I didn't see the color I wanted an employee went to where they had more and brought out 3 from I choose 1. The eggs was also something I didn't already have 1 from here so I picked 1 that looked cute on all sides. Even though I already had to purple pumpkin ( 1st thing I brought from here), I had to get a different style of pumpkin. I also grabbed a purple slug pin since I have one of those. When I checked out, I was given a slip to go to the free item with purchase and I brought enough to choose anything on the table. One had just the shape and feel of one of the chicks (everything was wrapped in paper so it was a surprise of what you were getting). It feels good to support a local craft business while getting items for your home that makes you smile. I have 8 of their works. Have to rest the Mastercard for a while but I will be back after that especially for their customer Appreciation day.

I've been to this studio twice now for the 'Paint Your Pet' class, and I have absolutely loved…read moreevery experience! The instructors, Erica and Ben (I believe, please correct me if I have the names wrong), were fun, encouraging, and incredibly helpful. Unlike a typical "paint and sip" class, the instructors demonstrate a few techniques and then it's basically just a free paint time while they come around offering help if needed. They offer helpful tips for tackling some of the trickier details, like eyes, fur texture, shading, and color mixing. I also love that you can choose your canvas size, with pricing based on the size you select. They even offer a wood canvas option if you're looking for something a little different. You're welcome to bring one sealed bottle of wine per person, and many people also brought snacks. If you prefer, beverages are available for purchase at the studio as well. A few days before class, you'll email them a photo of your pet. I had so many favorites that I sent three different pictures! They chose the one that would translate best into a painting and be the easiest to sketch. When you arrive, your canvas is already prepared with a hand drawn outline of your pet, along with the printed reference photo you submitted. After a brief introduction and some painting tips, you're given your paint colors and get to work. Throughout the class, the instructors walk around offering one-on-one guidance, and they were amazing. I struggled with areas like the eyes and mouth and felt my painting looked a little flat at first. After the instructors spent a few minutes helping me, everything started to come together, and by the end of class it truly looked like my sweet little boy. I was amazed by the transformation. One of my favorite memories was bringing my mom to a class. She had lost her beloved dog, Bailey, just a few months earlier. At one point she became discouraged and almost gave up on her painting, but the instructors were so kind and patient. They took the time to help her, and by the end of class she was overwhelmed with emotion. The finished painting brought tears to her eyes, and it became such a healing, cathartic experience for her. To this day, she tells me that every time she walks past Bailey's portrait, she blows her a kiss. I later returned with a couple of friends, and the following year one of them lost her sweet boy. She told me how grateful she was to have shared this experience and to have that beautiful painting to remember him by. I truly cherish the paintings of my boys and am so thankful for the wonderful experiences I've had here. This class creates so much more than a painting, it creates a lasting memory of the pets we love so deeply. I can't recommend it enough, and I sincerely hope they continue offering it for years to come. If you've been thinking about taking this class, do it. It's absolutely worth it I promise!

My cousins and I recently went to the Ferndale location (our second time there), and it will probably be our last for a really long time, if ever. After a not-so-fun time at the Ferndale location the day before, I signed up for a different Disney painting the next day at the Roseville location with Emily and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! They pre-outlined the shapes on the canvas for everyone. Kept track of everyone that was coming in and delayed the class from starting for a bit waiting for a couple people. They played Disney movie songs while we all painted a Disney movie picture. Both her and her assistant, A'Janae, interacted with the customers, got involved in the conversation when everyone was talking about one Disney movie or another, etc. Both instructors we ready and able to help, and would even refill paint without the person asking because they noticed it first. Emily was very patient, and explained her techniques and brush strokes slowly and clearly. Suggested we practice on our napkins or plates to make sure we understood. They weren't in a hurry to rush everyone out of the door. They stuck around and took pictures of the seperate groups that were there. It was my first time going to this location and I was very pleased I made the drive. It was worth it.

When you arrive, you pick your candle vase which varies in prices from $30 to about $60. You'll pay the difference from the cost of the class depending on which one you pick.

Back at your table you'll test, then mix your scents, then make your candle which is all clearly explained by the instructor. Your candle has to set so you're unable to take it with you, so you have to pick it up later or the next day. For those who live far, they do offer shipping for an additional fee. I enjoyed hearing about the owners entrepreneurship journey and why she opened this place. I overall had a great time. The location is easy to find the decor is nice and the customer service is top tier. I'll definitely come back. I highly recommend the experience.
