    I had the great opportunity of having my birthday party here. Overall everything was exceptional. Customer Service. I actually had trouble with contacting a few galleries about a paint party, but definitely no issues here. They contacted me back in 24 hours or my request for information. They then went to answer everything I needed to know. In addition, they were able to make a personalized theme for me and make it easy for all my guest to pay online. They were wonderful! On the day of the event the crew helped the guest and gave a great experience for everyone getting their paint on. They were great at communication and friendly! Atmosphere. My birthday theme was street art, this location definitely went right along with it. Everything about this location is contemporary and just fresh and creative scenario. We had access to two rooms. The room where the paint happened (which could accommodate around 20 to 25 individuals) and the front room to set up for your food, drinks, and just having a more party vibe as well. It was wonderful. For this location all it takes is for you to book your event in advance with a down payment of 105, which is the payment for 3 guest. Individual guest, with a minimum of 10 is $35/each, which you and/or guest can purchase in advance or at the event. This pays for instruction, canvas, and paint. For events you are allowed to bring in your own alcohol and food and set up any way you like! This location is all about customization and I love it. They also allow you to pick your music theme... I gave them a genre and they seriously channeled every song I love! They are musical mind readers and gave that extra touch I loved. Parking. I actually was concerned about parking for my guest at first, being so close to the French Quarters on a Friday night, but it actually turned out to not be a problem. Everyone was able to find nearby street parking and paid parking. So it shouldn't be too many issues in that area. I would definitely do more events in this location. They are great for small to medium groups for different type of events, including paint parties for kids.

    Celebrated my birthday with a private paint party at Paint and Jrink and had the best time! The studio is very inviting and can accommodate your party comfortably, with plenty of room to personalize your party with food, drinks and decorations. They also have a Bluetooth sound system, so you can prepare the perfect playlist for your party. Our instructor Jerin was awesome! He kept us laughing and gave us great advice on how to paint our canvases. He made sure that our work came out nice. If you're looking for a fun way to celebrate a special event and have something memorable to bring home, this is the place! I can't thank them enough for making my birthday experience so great!

    First off you guys you have to find parking. But don't let that one bad issue turn you away from this fun experience. Yes, it was an experience. I really enjoyed myself. The vibe is really positive and fun. The owner was very welcoming and he understood that everyone there were first time painters. He gave us kind of a mini-tutorial about using the different types of brushes and the effects they have on your drawing and the canvas itself. I really appreciated that he was willing to sit through and give everyone advice when needed on how to perfect their Masterpieces. Even though there were alcohol and food many of us still got our masterpieces finished.I felt like a real artist!!! I am looking forward to going back in the new year because I had too much fun!!

    Our steps throughout the session.. and look what a great job we both did!

    This place is AWESOME! I went for the first time with my girlfriend and two bottles of white, and I'll be damned if I don't start doing this regularly! The artists leading our class, Jarron and Nicholas, were so friendly and helpful. Even though I am the most unartistic person I know, they helped us through step by step, and I am amazed with my finished piece! I recommend this place to anybody. There was even a little kid in our class; the artists gave him his own sketch and I could tell he had a blast! Not only did I create something I never imagined I could in million years, but it actually has prompted me to pick up the brush at home and see what I can do when left to my own devices! This is my new favorite place to kill time on the weekend, and I absolutely can not wait to go back again and again!

    I am one of the troop leaders for our Girl Scout troop. As such I am always on the look out for activities that our girls can participate in and love. I contacted Paint and jRink seeking a session for our girls and they were happy to do it. The location is easy to find, the neighborhood is safe, and above all the actual gallery is endearing. We were greeted by smiling faces, a sunlit room, and jazz music. I had chatty, shrieking girls and neither instructor seemed jarred by it. I found that the sketches that were picked and the pace of the class were age appropriate for the different grade levels and age ranges that make-up our multi-level troop. Overall, I was impressed with the environment of the gallery and it's adaptability to our needs. I plan to book adult events with them as should you.

    4 capital letters...BYOB! Drinks and snacks! They also have cups because of course you are going to forget them. The staff are incredibly nice and you can paint whatever you want, let your creative alcohol infused juices flow. They are just there to guide you! A friend and I went to an open session they have a few times a month and obviously we brought a shopping back of goodies. I love how it's in an authentic art studio. There is paint spatter all over the place! Even on some of the GORGEOUS paintings on the walls. This was a really therapeutic and relaxing experience. It wasn't just the bottle of champagne making me feel so good leaving Paint & jrink.

    My masterpiece!

    This was a duplicate review so I thought I would edit it as I couldn't figure out how to delete it My group was 5 people. My 68 year old mom who has never painted before, my teenage daughters, 13&16, my foreign exchange student, Guido age 17 from Italy (yes, that's actually his name). Everyone had a great time!!! If I did this again, I have spent some time in Merigny. I think this area had a fun Bohemian vibe and is under appreciated

    We had an awesome time! Jerin was a phenomenal teacher and very personable. He cracked a few jokes which loosened up us all as well. Very attentive and helpful to us who may not be the best painters or creative. Everything was ready when we arrived and started on time. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely come back!

    I have to say that this was one of thee worst Paint and Jrink events I've ever been to. I was calling the number because I was running late, traffic was not the best and I couldn't find the place. I received no answer and when I walked in- I was just glanced at and the painter continued the paint. His little helper didn't even acknowledge me and I had to walk up to her to ask for supplies and help. And she was like oh ok-- yeh yeh ok sure and disappeared and it took someone else to notice their behavior to speak up and say excuse me they're missing supplies and canvas.. so the painter says .. oh yeh she's getting them.. so my question is why couldn't she tell me that when I was talking to her? Thennnnn I had to ask for assistance b/c him and the helper was just kicking it up In the back laughing while he's smoking his vape.. the only time they were the most engaged with us was when it was time to leave. This by far is the worst Paint and Jrink I've ever been to. EVER!!!!

    We had a perfect date night at Paint and Jrink. It was relaxing and I walked away with a beautiful painting to hang up at home. Our instructor was very helpful and allowed us to add our own touches by guiding us through the steps. I highly recommend!

Had I known it was an option we wouldn't have rented them. you have to add on things to smash which should be included. I understand TVs, larger items, and additional things; sure...but glass bottles should be included. If they were supposed to be they WERE NOT! We paid for bottles. The ones I've visited previously have plates, glass, bottles, etc.) I completely understand how cost works which is why I purchased a Groupon vs paying regular prices. Also the room is half ass filled with items that have already been smashed and unless you're a huge man ain't much left to do to it. Thank goodness I used a Groupon. They do offer a painting option. The staff was cool; but I personally wouldn't return. The kids did enjoy themselves (their first experience) so that was good. With better organization, communication, and an understanding of what the customer is interested in or expecting this place could go far. The rooms should be prepared for specific age groups because giving preteens ovens and refrigerators that have already been smashed is just crazy.

I booked myself and six young people for an event that was advertised as family friendly. The class started 30 minutes late (tough for an impatient 7 year old) and then the ONLY instruction was, "I would start with the background." I wish this was an exaggeration. Then the instructor sat behind the desk for the duration of the class. When I've gone in the past, the instructor walked us through the painting while they painted on stage and gave tips, often circulating through the class to see if anyone needed help. Not this time. There were no printed instructions either. There was a monitor that displayed the painting but it went off halfway through the class, leaving us to use our phone screen or our imagination to finish. Despite starting thirty minutes late, it ended on time which cheated us out of our full booking. And then the "instructor" had the nerve to put a tip bucket atop a stool standing between us the door. Everyone has a bad day, but this experience was particularly egregious. Coupled with the company's refusal to acknowledge, apologize, or remedy the problem leaves me no other option than to recommend Google users NOT patronize Painting With a Twist Metairie.

The studio set up outlined canvases ahead of time at each station and a staff member walked the girls through the basics of how to paint their mermaid pictures step by step, but definitely encouraged creativity with paint colors and techniques.

The birthday girls parents ordered pizza and we all ate that after the painting was over. It was a wonderful experience and I'd definitely consider this spot for a birthday party. I believe they also host wine and paint date nights, so I'd totally be down to dragging, *ahem, I mean bringing* my husband to one of those.

    This was one of the highlights of my birthday trip to NOLA!…read more I'm almost at a loss for words regarding the wonderful time that I had! The owner Andrea is warm, hospitable, and was very accommodating. The atmosphere with all of the beautiful ladies felt like home-away-from-home and like I was amongst sisters. The art studio itself is nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. There was no clutter and there was space to move around and be social. The bar is well stocked and has nice options for purchase. I went on a Wednesday night and they have special food and drink on that night which was a plus. Due to our busy time in NOLA we hadn't had time to stop for a bite before the class started and our appetites were ready for the delicious food when we arrived. The artist who led us in creating our masterpieces was kind, patient, and encouraging. At a point during the process I was loosing steam and didn't think I would make it through to finish but even with it 1/2 finished she provided guidance and feedback that prompted me to continue. By the time I got my second wind, I was rocking and rolling! My painting actually turned out better than expected being that I'm an amateur artist. This experience will be one I will never forget nor will I forget the beautiful women who touched my heart and made my trip/birthday celebration extra special! I almost forgot to mention that, Andrea the owner gifted my friend and I two beautifully decorated cups of which we can use to sip our favorite drinks she also gifted us a bottle of wine on the house! The next time I'm in NOLA, I must stop by! Lastly, I hadn't considered that my canvas may not fit in my luggage when it was time to leave. Thankfully, I was allowed to carry it as a carryon item at the airport. All was well! Thanks Andrea for a memorable experience that was relaxing, positive, and exciting all at one once!

    *This review is for Sarah's weekly session at Eye Street Studios*…read more Like Mikkela, I've been fortunate enough to have had the chance to attend one of Sarah's open studio figure drawing classes. Just not as an artist. From the other end. As a model. A nude model, to be precise. It was something I was contemplating on doing for a while, for a variety of reasons. At the recommendation of Mikkela, I called Sarah a while ago to see if she needed anyone extra to model for her. A week later, I got the fateful call: the regularly-scheduled model couldn't make it that night, and was I available? My chest started to get a little tight as I realized this was precisely where the rubber hit the road. There's no turning back now. The Art world needs me. I was Lloyd Bridges as Izzy Mandelbaum in Seinfeld: It's Go Time! I've always held a certain appreciation for artists, not least of all due to the fact that I could probably screw up drawing stick figures if I applied myself and put the time and effort into it. For me to be able to see people with actual artistic talent that I can only dream about was a real mind rush. I was really impressed by the talent level. I truly wish I had one iota of talent the artists possessed that night. People come prepared to draw whatever strikes their fancy, using a variety of methods. Some painted full body portraits. Others focused on certain body parts. Some used acrylics, others sketched in charcoal. Sarah, to my surprise, drew a head portrait. She was able to recreate the exact same type of poise and demeanor that I literally dream about. I kid you not, I was almost tempted to ask her to paint a blue tunic, medals, saber, and diagonal red sash, as the exact visage she captured belonged out of a Napoleonic cavalry portrait. Watching everyone's progress was amazing: after each 20 minute pose, I put on a robe and took a 10 minute break, and I had the chance to check out everyone's work. To be able to see everyone's work go from start to fruition was simply amazing. The atmosphere was really chill and laid back. Like Mikkela says, the noise level can be loud, but the band in the room next door was quite talented, and it definitely helped me focus. A word on modeling: there's actual work involved. You can't just sit on a stool and daydream for several hours. There's a lot of endurance, patience and mind over matter required. It's not for everyone, and it really takes a modicum of professionalism. I can honestly say I was sore afterwards, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Sarah and her fellow artists are total professionals and really made me feel at ease. The verdict: $10 for open studio figure drawing at her Eye Street location lets you practice art in a chill setting with like-minded professionals. For such a small investment, you really can't beat the experience!

The artist who arranges this, Sarah, is really nice, and she also teaches art, if you wish for instruction. For my liking, for $10, I enjoy a chance to paint the figure! The open figure sessions are at the Eye Street Studios, 443 Eye St. NW, near Gallery Place/Chinatown. It's a really relaxed atmosphere. A band practices in the next space (so free concert), and there are all levels of art and interests. Different people show up every time, although some of us are showing up every time! Next time is May 7th. So if you want to re-awaken the artist and practice your figure drawing or painting, this is the place! Be prepared that the noise/music is loud (although the band is good).
