We had arrived and was welcomed in by our instructor Julia. We had brought in some snacks and wine. Plates, cups, and ice were available for us to use. They had prepared the easel, canvas, paint brushes, and paints that we would be using. Julia began her lesson and showed us our painting that we would be working on. Julia was super helpful and patient with helping us make our masterpieces. I am no Picasso but with Julia's guidance I didn't do too shabby! Overall it was a really fun team building activity for myself and coworkers. This was my first time at a sip and paint and Julia made it so enjoyable. There was also some music playing in the background as we painted which made it more fun.

We each had pre-selected the design that we wanted when we signed up. The instructor was wonderful and very thorough. She walked us through each process step by step. We got to sand, stain and then paint our own boards. It was a very cool process to make something out of wood. The stenciling/painting process was my favorite and they have a wide variety of colors to choose from. You can also bring your own snacks/drinks. We were able to eat and drink while we were waiting and taking breaks. The instructors are very hands on and help you through the process. They teach you each step and ensure your piece comes out beautiful. Really recommend this activity. Will be coming back for winter! On minor detail: the stain takes 24 hours to dry. I would bring an old cloth to drive home so that you can lay your piece on the cloth.

I've stopped in a number of times, usually after I grab a coffee next door and take a peak around. It was on my last visit that I finally took home a few pieces and they are so beautiful, I am sure they won't be my last from here. The shop is a mix of works by several different students and even the owner. I am actually currently drinking my tea out of a mug I got here that I believe was made by the owner herself! It was a splurge gift to myself that I don't regret at all. On that trip I also picked up a beautiful bowl for my mom. It had a swirly almost scallopy rim and such a gorgeous blue glaze. And it was so affordable! This is why I pop in so frequently, there is always something new to admire or maybe even take home. Happy to have them in town to stop into and find incredible, handmade, unique pieces! And maybe eventually I will try my hand at another wheel class one day as well.
