I did not experience the registration process, another member of our friend group did that part. Getting suited up and ready to go was easy, the staff were friendly and helpful. They have their rules of play, but it's still very chill. Very family friendly. We had such a good time! They have the space to get cleaned up afterward if you get really messy like we did. They take pictures for you, I didn't take any of these pictures and none of our friend group did. They do everything for you. So easy, so fun, very stress free. Loved it! They have a lot of other craft options, so I would love to go back and try something new. Do check them out! They have a lot to offer aside from splatter paint (if getting messy isn't your thing). Will be back soon!

My daughter has been to several birthday parties here and has been asking me to take her back, she…read morereally enjoys it. However, I am taking one star off because the last time she visited (just for a pop in craft, not a party) she came home very distraught that whoever was helping her insisted on drawing her jellyfish a certain way that my daughter did not like - she wouldn't just let her do it herself and my daughter was not happy with the end result. They also made her put her name on the front which my daughter was super upset about as well. Not the end of the world, but if I'm paying for my child to be creative, I think they should not be forced to do it any way other than how they envision it.

A fun Girls Night Out in PVB! Sign-in upon arrival & locate your project along the multi-person…read moretable. Lots of hustling on a Friday night - three employees ... two extremely helpful; probably more than they are supposed to be ... made clear at the beginning - they are there to guide you - but the artwork/project is yours and yours alone to complete. Pretty structured with project ... distressing wood seemed to be required - even after comments heard; not my style! Then sanding away any and all edges! Staining wood project is mandatory ... from there, you add paint (oodles to choose from!); then your pre-cut stencil design ... then painting & removal of stencil without damaging your project ... can't go too fast ... and can't go too slow ... would imagine the more you do; the better you are. Also available - ear plugs, as the distressing can get loud! Water and soda - even saw a wine frig, but didn't partake! It is a fun event and everyone enjoyed themselves! Website very comprehensive when picking project ... reminder emails helpful too.

My fiancé and I went here as a part of our anniversary date to make corn hole boards for our…read morewedding next year. We went on sangria night , so they served free sangria which was nice but we also were able to bring our own drinks. The boards were already cut we just stained and painted them with our design. We wanted to add in some lines so we left them there since that stencil wasn't cut yet and picked them up at a different time. After we picked them up my fiancé put the poly acrylic on it to finish the boards. The process wasn't hard and we even added on the corn hole bags to go with our board. We loved how they turned out and the experience!

Found this business via Local Flavor or probably wouldn't have known about it…read more Cute little shop in the heart of Edgewood, owned by a mother and daughter duo. They were both so sweet & helpful! They have hundreds of designs to choose from or they can pretty much create just about anything you want. They also have tons of different shapes and sizes of boards from which to choose. The daughter explained the whole process to us and let us roll. You start by staining the board then blow drying it so you can get to the next step. That would be applying the sticker stencil then painting with a good 3 or so coats. Let that baby dry then voila! Masterpiece done. I highly recommend this business! Support locals, have a blast (ummm BYOB!!), and create a gift (or keep for yourself )

I had purchased a Groupon for this crafting session- and had to email back and forth to schedule…read moreand redeem the groupons. There was a break in communication over several days- so I reached out again to make sure we were booked and it was as though I had never emailed in the first place- although the email chain was all below. The shop is located in Murray Hill and it looks run down outside- we happened to pick the same night as Octoberfest was being celebrated by another business and parking was a bear. Once through the door our instructor was very chatty and thoroughly gave instruction- our group consisted of three of us and we are all crafters, who also all work at Michael's. Which we did tell our lovely instructor- we probably could have sped up the process a bit because of it- but we kept at the pace set by our leader. This is not a franchise- but an honest Jacksonville start up business. I do appreciate that. We stained our wood, set our stencils on our boards and were off to pick paints. They only do chalk paints and I learned a valuable lesson using these paints. They stink! I am going to assume that chalk paints can go bad- because I can't imagine anyone buying and using paints that smelled like dead animals- but that's exactly what some of these jars smelled like when I cracked them open. Tiff - my friend- works a ranch and completely agreed with my assessment! I am hyper sensitive to smells and this threw me. I pushed on and finished painting. Our instructor tried to give us tips- haha- I say try because us stubborn crafters barely followed her suggestions. I wanted my paint to still show the wood grain beneath- she thought I should've put more paint on- but I ended up with exactly the desired look. My one friend- Naomi didn't want any bright colors that would clash with her home- not even on her Halloween sign! I thought it was cute- she was so set on just black, white and gray. Tiff- she slathered the most paint on and hers was tacky-damp even as she left my house an hour after! Instruction = 4 stars (slow but thorough) Paint = 2 stars for the ones almost empty- they were noxious Final product = 5 stars we all had fun and left happy
