    i booked a class for my team for a team building event and we had such a great time. There is not that much parking so if you're planning to go with a group I would consider car pooling. They are a BYOB and BYOF establishment so that was great! We brought some wine and some small bites to have. The set up was really nice and everything started on time. They only had one good wine bottle opener and they did not provide plates for us to have our food, there were only a few plastic cups. I would recommend bringing all these things yourself just in case. The instructor was good and very patient with us and the instruction was great! I would recommend this as a great thing to do for groups, dates, solo. It was nice and relaxing to paint and have some drinks! I thank Bob Ross for the lessons I learned from The Joy of Painting show I would watch as a kid, it really paid off! Haha

    I cannot say enough about John Paul. He was kind and helped my fiancé and I every time we messed up or were stuck on how to proceed with our portraits. We could not have completed our portraits (nor could have done such a great job) if it were not for him. If you are interested in booking, John Paul is 100000000% recommended.

    Came here for a birthday party and was impressed with the staff. We had Louis and he is beyond amazing. His energy level is on 10000 the entire time. He is fun and knows his audience. It's a great outing for every occasion. I highly recommend for a party. We were able to bring food and drinks. Awesome time!

    I love painting with a twist! My Mom and Aunt flew in from Chicago for a weekend. I surprised them with a late Friday night class. Back home we go pretty often and this was the first time where there was a rough sketch of the drawing we were doing. The environment was pretty high energy as there were a couple parties there looking to have fun. Highly recommend this location and will be returning post quarantine!

    This is a perfect date night activity and so much fun painting your pet. Neither me or my boyfriend are artistic but Miguel did a great job instructing us and answering any questions we had. It was a lot of fun being able to bring our own wine to enjoy while painting as well. If you are looking for a fun indoor activity, I would definitely recommend Painting with a Twist.

    I am by no means an artist but I sure felt like one thanks to the amazing instructor (Jamie) and her assistant (Ivy)! She not only taught one painting but three paintings simultaneously! Moreover she prepped our TX shaped canvases with white paint and had all the colors ready to go by the time we got there! Overall the class was so fun, upbeat, positive, easy to follow, ran on time, and just felt like a party as we played a musical guessing game that become very competitive! I have been to Pinot's Pallet a couple times before and the set up is the same but the class here was way more fun, thanks to the wonderful Instructor! Highly recommend this place for date night, a fun hangout with friends and family, or just some solo fun and meet friends with the same interests!

    My class painting. Still my birthday.

    This was a great experience, the teacher did an amazing job and even made beginners feel like experts. The quality of the material, and the total experience completely blew me away. Away from the customer service side of the venue, I was even able to walk away with a pretty decent painting to show to my friends thanks to the great instructors of painting with a twist.

    We loved Painting With a Twist. Theo and Kyle were easy going and great to work with. I would definitely do this again.

    Louis was awesome! We went to a Monday night reservation for baby yoda. It was a small turnout, but Louis still made it fun and enjoyable. Can't wait to come back for "paint your own pet"!

    Went with a friend to the midtown location for " paint your pet day" & it could not have been more fun. Cameron was our teacher and he was the best. He kept everyone engaged and laughing. Cameron was encouraging and helpful. I'll definitely be back! It was a great time! Went back again and could not have been better. Cory was there a long with Cameron. Cory was so helpful as well as Cameron. Both made it fun and made sure you left with a painting you were happy with. Wish I could give it 10 stars.

    Lovely, it's neat to have the experience to paint something ether you are pain before or no. You will have an excellent experience

    This place was so much fun! The teachers were really nice, helpful, and also funny. We brought a couple bottles of wine, and cups were provided. You can also deviate from the painting recommendations, if you care to be a little more free! I had actually left my phone there on Saturday, and Dimitri (the owner, maybe) came in on a holiday just to let me in and helped me look/find my phone. He was VERY nice, and I would highly recommend this to anyone.

    All of our paintings looked absolutely fantastic!

The art school is connected with the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (MFAH) organization and campus. The building is absolutely beautiful and the classrooms are well equipped for blooming artists striving to become.better at their craft. The current program our daughter is participating in is an "Art Tales" program. A story is read to the students and then they create art afterward that is inspired by the story. Various media are explored and used; drawing, painting, clay sculpting, etc. The class is 2 hours in duration, once weekly, and takes place for a period of 3 months. It's a great program and a sure fire way to enhance cultural enrichment and serve as an expressive and creative outlet. The campus is directly adjacent to the MFAH, so parents can enjoy a day at the museum while children are in class if they feel (membership or admission required) or, simply browse the student art on display in the galleries of The Glassell School of Art (this is free) and there is plenty to see. There is also a sculpture garden on campus to stroll through (for free) and a rooftop deck that makes for some lovely views and photo opportunities. Free street/curbside parking is usually available, otherwise there is a fee-based parking structure.

Literally there was one employee to run this entire event from Black Phlox. We were not greeted at all. The AT&T vendor was also present did and that person went and got us the little form that you're supposed to fill out while you're making your diffuser. There were times slots you had to sign up for. This was not regulated or enforced if you will. People took our spots and mind you our slot was 630 so you know we could've gone to dinner or done something else. I just feel the whole thing was a waste of my time. We ended up leaving because literally there was no greeting, no interaction, no direction and no spot available despite our reservations big disappointment. :( Sorry about the blurry picture, but there was literally nothing to take pictures of.

This was…read moremy second time visiting Black Phlox, where I learned that "phlox" is a type of flower, and I'm so glad I returned. The level of attention, detail, and guidance throughout the two-hour session is truly unmatched. My table included six women celebrating a "Spring Into Friendship" social event. Together, we were able to try 72 different scents across top, middle, and base notes to create something unique and complementary to our natural body chemistry. I loved the clear instructions, the pacing of the session, and the R&B playlist that felt like a sweet throwback to my aunt's playlist she used to blast on her living room stereo set in the '90s. One of the things I love about Black Phlox is that every visit is guaranteed to feel new. Each table is given a different curated set of scents to work from, so no two experiences are exactly alike. Dr. Rica even pulled out a few special "vault" scents during our session that included deeper, more intense fragrances that are used sparingly, but added richness and character to the final blends. The interaction with Missy, Tasha, and Dr. Rica made the experience feel intimate and fun, like I was hanging out with my cool, older cousins. Not once did I feel rushed. Even when I had a little hiccup while pouring my scent into the bottle, Tasha and Missy jumped in to help me correct it so I could leave completely satisfied with what I'd created. The pricing was more than fair. You have the option to upsize your bottle, and they even offer 50% off if you return and remake the same scent, which is something I've never seen offered in other custom scent classes. The value, the experience, and the meaningful interaction make this a go-to recommendation for me. The icing on the cake is that you get to bring your own bottle of wine and/or alcohol for just a $2 cork fee. They provide cups and ice, and the space is filled with good conversation, plenty of cackles lol, and community energy you won't find anywhere else. After our session ended, we spent at least another hour laughing, taking pictures, and finishing our prosecco. Not once did we feel hurried or unwelcome. That kind of hospitality is rare and speaks volumes. I also learned that Black Phlox offers interactive perfume and cologne-making stations for events like weddings. We had two brides-to-be in our group, and they were thoughtfully gifted in-house made candle wax melts along with their custom perfume purchases, which was a beautiful and personal touch that made the night even more special. It's a beautiful space built by even more beautiful women, and I love hearing their stories and seeing how they've turned inspiration into a thriving business. I'm proud to support Black Phlox and will keep returning again and again.

I started out in the beginner class with no previous experience and quickly learned the basics. The beginner class is a reasonable $170 for a 5 week session and you can count on coming home with 6+ pieces. Your final class will be a potluck, work reveal and Raku firing. John and Judy allowed me to take the beginner class for a few sessions until I was confident enough to move forward to the intermediate. I'm currently taking 3 month intermediate sessions with the option of extra studio time on Saturdays for $5. I love to come to class and unwind on Monday nights after a long day; playing with clay is really a form of therapy. The owners are there to assist you hands-on and help you achieve the best result (as are some of your classmates that have been students here for many years). John and Judy often have a different approach to their craft, which is beneficial in that you're exposed to more than one perspective and technique. The best advice that I can give is to eliminate your expectations. Almost every piece you make will look different than you envisioned, but you'll learn to love the unpredictability.
