I came here for a Yelp Elite event, and the staff of Liverpool Art Center were WONDERFUL!…read more Be warned: this is not your "step by step, paint-nite, everybody is painting the same thing" sort of place- you get to choose your own picture from the many choices they have, you get a canvas, the'll give you the paints and brushes, give you basic pointers, and off you go! If you need more assistance, they'd be happy to help- but otherwise, you have free reign! If you want to change up the colors on the picture, that's definitely allowed and they'll give you a different paint palette so you can achieve that! This would be a great place to have a girls' night, a bachelorette event, birthday party, etc.!

She arrived early with her two helpers to make sure she had time to set up before the guests arrived. She was very patient and knowledgable while trying to teach all of us how to paint our masterpieces. She and her staff were attentive to our needs and made it a fun experience for all. I found that any age from toddlers on up can participate and have fun painting. She even managed to console a 5 year old that was a little upset that her painting wasn't quite coming out like hers and gave her a clean canvas to paint a cat on which is one of her favorite animals and it was all good. We had a great day! Thanks to The Painting Cafe for making this such a fun time

Over the summer I signed up for a paint splatter session when they were set up at Buried Acorn…read moreBrewery. I paid a little extra for the black canvas, which was a good move, because it looks extra cool! They have a tent set up, and start a timer. You get an apron and shoe coverings, and a paint caddy with up to four colored paints. After a quick tutorial in splattering technique, you get to toss paint at your canvas for fifteen minutes. This was so fun and therapeutic, and I loved seeing the painting take shape. At the end of the evening, I got to take my creation home in a pizza box, which was super convenient to prevent messes. This was such a fun experience and I would definitely recommend checking out their classes (I may do the same, when I have the time.) My painting looks excellent hanging above my desk and gives me little intermittent bursts of joy whenever I look up at it during the course of my work day. Right Mind Syracuse is always popping up at spots around town with really darling craft workshops, and I love to see it.

They have my preferred needles- the super speedy stainless steel ChiaoGoo circulars, in just about every imaginable size and cable length. They carry lots of quality yarn, host trunk shows for artisans, and have local made products for sale- such as the bright pink skull stitch marker I picked up when I was last there. The shop itself is beautiful- bright with natural light, spacious, modern, and comfortable. The work they have on display makes me want to become a better knitter. I hope to take one of their numerous classes in the future. Knitty Gritty is very responsive on social media and their website is as great as their physical space is. There is a private parking lot which is sizable.
