    Date night with hubby! Loved the private room and the mini bar as well! I strongly recommend getting there early to get situated and get your drinks ready ahead of time. We shared a bottle of champagne. The music was on point and our teacher was awesome! Will definitely return with the girls for girls night when things are safer to be in for large groups.

    My first paint & sip experience did not disappoint! My friends and I went online to select a painting we all liked and booked our reservations ($35/person). Make a note in your reservation if you'd like to be seated with friends! Price includes your 2-3 hours of instruction and all materials (canvas, paints, brushes, easel, smock, etc.). Beverages are separate, which I appreciate because you're not paying for something you may not want! Note that sodas and water is available (only $1 for the water!). The studio is bright and spacious with a separate party room, perfect for birthday parties, bachelorette, etc. Miranda was our fearless and comical lead painter for the day, guiding us step-by-step through our creation. Example of her humor: she referred to our three paintbrushes as Big Papa, Lil Mama, and Tiny Tim. She had a headset and a monitor so we could clearly hear her instructions and visualize them on her canvas. My painting skills are meh but this experience was great in my book. I would recommend this studio to any friends looking to paint & sip, mainly because our class was "large" and we had maybe 20 people there, so it's a more intimate experience. Props to Taylor, the assistant for the day, for refilling our paint, giving us more napkins, and helping us correct our boo-boos! There were times I felt rushed during the process and other times I felt like I was waiting for instruction, so the rhythm of the class could have flowed better, but I won't let that deter me from returning.

    My girlfriend and I had a great time painting while enjoying a few drinks at Painting with a Twist! We went in early December and the place was very COVID-friendly - groups were spaced out and masks were encouraged (we just took them off for the photo). For those who haven't been (and this was our first time), they make it very fun for beginniner painters like us to have success by walking you through the painting you'll be creating. There is also a "bar" where you can buy a few different types of beer/wine to drink while doing your painting which was fun and not too expensive. They provide everything including aprons, brushes, paints, etc., with the exception of the drinks, which you buy separately. We will be back!

    We went with my family last night as a pre-Holiday kick off! I have been to this location before and enjoyed the experience! Tonight was a full class too! They had everything ready for us which made the process easy and us able to enjoy each other's company while painting! I will say I think that we started off slow and started to get rushed towards the end to finish but it's all because we were preoccupied chatting and catching up with one another, haha. We had quality paintings to take home, each persons just a bit different from one another! The staff was really nice and patient too! Thank you for a consistently good experience! If I had to make one recommendation I would say for $35 a person, I feel as if you should provide one beverage or a group offering of a snack for this type of event.

    This was my first time going to one of these. We had a great time. Heather was our instructor, and she took her time and explained everything really well.

    This is one of my favorite activities to do. Whether you're by yourself or with friends and family, Painting with a Twist is wonderful! I have been to a couple locations, and the classes are very similar. The class today was benefiting the Vera Bradley Breast Cancer Foundation. Not only did we receive the painting we completed, but we were given Vera Bradley Market Totes, and this event raised $652 for the foundation. There are so many designs available. I cannot wait to sign up for my next class!

    Loved the experience of coming here. Our instructor Taylor was super great. He was clear with direction and even helped with your paintings if you asked. I brought my bf here for our first wine and paint date night. Will definitely be back! Thanks for the great atmosphere.

    Our finished paintings!

    Rush to take a class here! We have so much fun. I love it. I took some art classes in college and miss being creative. It's so easy to paint here since you don't have to buy all the supplies. Classes are $35 and they have a HUGE schedule with a ton of variety. We have now been 3 times. I love doing the couples classes since we can hang our paintings together. But we have done 2 other classes where we have been able to change the art up to make them more unique. The last class had Indiana on it with the word LOVE and my husband did HOME and we did the state color different. They look awesome hanging on our wall! I may need a new house so I have more wall space! We gave one to his mom, a spring tree, she loved it. So you could even gift the art! But really it's a super fun time. The teachers have all been super nice and fun. I really enjoy the music they play in class and we have never felt rushed. My first class I got super stressed trying to make it perfect, but you know, once it's on the wall they look great! It's much more fun to just have fun! They have a bar where you can buy drinks by the glass or bottle. They had some snacks as well. Check out their Facebook page and the website for the painting schedule. They even have a party room where you can select the painting and bring friends! They have a very large catalogue. I bet it would be a lot of fun to have a party there!

There were tons of paint colors and supplies to choose from, and the staff was super encouraging and helpful if you needed ideas or guidance. I went with a cartoon-style design on mine, with a sketch outline, bold details, and a hand-drawn look. I LOVE how they turned out. They look like wearable art! My friend went in a totally different direction, which made it even more fun seeing how unique each pair became. It's such a cool concept for a girls' night, date night, birthday, or just something different to do. You walk out with something you actually get to wear and show off. Highly recommend if you're looking for a creative experience that's both fun and memorable!

They have some examples to help give you ideas and believe them when they tell you that they can help you draw items onto your shoes for you to paint. It felt like they are dedicated to helping people carry out the vision they have for their project.

We…read morestarted 15 mins late and got done 15 mins before time so technically we booked a 2-5pm slot and were done in 2.5 hours. The instructor was good but fast so it was hard to follow every step since she would race through her instructions. This mainly could also be due to the nature of painting we selected since it had alot of measurements and customized colors. But still, someone from the crowd literally asked the instructor to slow down so we could all catch up. It is great for folks who sit up front and do not look at the tv monitor like the back seaters have to use. The color in the tv monitor is way off (beauty of colors and not a technical issue) which can result in a disastrous painting (like my dad's). All in all we had a good time making fun of each other, drinking some wine and trying to follow our instructor as much as we could to get our canvas painted. Satisfied with the experience but the instructors could use some feedback to help everyone paint frame worthy paintings

    If you want a fun activity on the Indy Northside, look no further!…read more I came here with a group of colleagues for a fun night out from the lab. It was a nice social activity that also allowed moments of quiet to focus on your piece. I find this dynamic kind of nice because I'm not one to talk endlessly even when I'm with my friends. They have tons of pieces to choose from, ranging in price and size, so you can make this activity as much as you want to get out of it. There's no studio fee, so glazes and kiln services are included with your price. They have just about all the colors of glaze, which have a display on the wall by the glaze bottles. The staff are all very friendly, Brooke and Fernando were especially attentive to us throughout the evening. They made sure to help keep our workspace tidy and helped with some glazing and artistic touches. Importantly, we never felt rushed with the process, which helped us feel like we could make something we're proud of. They also have some glass fusing stuff as well, so you can make some kinds of mosaic glass lamp shades (or at least that's what was shown throughout the space). I'm curious how that's priced, because that would be another cool outing! Pottery pieces take about a week to be fired in the kiln, so I don't have my masterpiece back yet. I'm very excited to receive it! They also provide shipping, so if you're a little further away, you can still get your piece. I'm sure I'll be back again before too long!

At some point I guess we ran short of time because the instructor sped up severely. None of the painters were anywhere near the stage that she was talking about. She kept saying don't worry I'll repeat it. Well the repeating was a quick listing of all the things we should be doing, with no chance of actually doing those... like reading a grocery list very quickly. And the urgency that we need to take a group picture now and we could finish our paintings after taking the picture. This gave us about 3 minutes as they were taking our paints and brushes... basically kicking us out the door... that really left a bad taste and ruined the whole night. I understand that the employees would like to go home, but can we maybe have a steady pace instead of waiting for the next step in the beginning and then sprint at the end.
