    Masterpieces in progress!

    Highly recommend this venue for any celebration you're planning! We had a wedding shower here tonight, and it was perfect! Dee was super- accommodating to all our needs,. The instructor, Naomi, was great, and a wonderful time was had by all!

    The best place to host your next event!!! We hosted my sister's baby shower here because she was looking for something a little less traditional. I called around to several paint bars and it wasn't until I talked to Dee that I knew I found a perfect match. Dee was so receptive and helpful throughout the entire process. She was easy to get a hold of, totally dependable, and very supportive! Leading up to the event she helped me prep and organize. The day of the event she and her team were ready and willing to pull off an awesome day! Everyone raved about the venue space for both its form (a beautiful old mill building with a high ceilings, exposed brick, etc) and function (we had approx 25 people). We were able to have a small cocktail hour by the bar area, a buffet lunch served in a small side room, and the main event in the larger art room. The parents-to-be even got to sit on the platform so everyone could see them opening presents. In addition, we had guests each paint and decorate a baby block for the baby-to-be. Dee perfectly organized and prep all of this material ahead of time and was able to get each of the guests comfortable with their art project. Thanks to Dee and her team at Painting with a Twist we were able to pull off the best baby shower! I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out!!

    This was our first time at this PWAT location as it's fairly new, and we loved it. I have been to other locations, but this one was a lot of fun. Our instructor, DJ, knew what he was doing and made it a fun night for everyone in the room. We laughed, we painted a beautiful picture, and we got to eat and drink. It doesn't get much better than that. The studio was clean and the owners and other staff were very kind, helpful, and fun. We will definitely be back!

    I attended my first class with the Paint Bar yesterday and couldn't be more delighted. I'm…read moreimpressed how they were able to quickly bring the program online in light of the unexpected challenges of the virus. They even offered to deliver the supplies until shipping was available so people could participate. The teacher broke the steps down to simplify a complex painting, and carefully demonstrated each of the techniques. They even broke the class out into breakout rooms so friends could work together from home. Overall, it was a terrific experience.

    The Paint Bar is a lot of fun, and no matter how little talent you have (I can't draw a circle…read morewithout Powerpoint), you can indeed create a masterpiece (ok, maybe it will only sell for $2 at your garage sale in 10 years, but your very small children will be impressed). I suggest arriving 30 minutes early, so that you don't get stuck in the line waiting for paints and can focus on importing things like buying a glass of wine. It also helps to be seated near the small stage in front so that you can easily see the example completed painting on the wall. They rotate through a selection of different ones, which are specified on the website when you buy your tickets, so don't pick a class that will paint a lame one like the happy dolphin! Also, you need to see the instructor, who will demonstrate painting an additional example on the stage. The instructor was quite funny, and fairly clear in explaining the individual steps one by one, although she went pretty quickly. The full 2 hours are necessary to complete the painting, and if you fall behind, you will miss some of the tricks or paint combinations. If you bring a date, be sure to praise how much better his or her piece is than yours, over and over again. Artists are sensitive, and who knows, you might get lucky later. If you have talent, maybe your painting will end up in Somerville's Museum of Bad Art, and not in a garage sale!

A note was included that there was special care and attention taken to ensure the supplies were germ-free amidst the COVID-19 pandemic (our painting class was in June 2020). Ryan was our instructor, and he took the time to walk us through the painting process on a Zoom call. He went at a great pace to make sure everyone was keeping up and understanding the steps. It was my first time doing this type of event virtually, which is challenging, but I was so impressed with how well Ryan was able to teach a group of ~30 over a video call. Throughout the video call, people would hold up their paintings and ask for help, and he would give great guidance to help them get their painting to where they wanted it to be. I am very happy with the outcome of the two-hour class and very pleased with the whole experience. I would highly recommend JJArtworks to anyone--regardless of your location. My work is in Washington state, so this event works for anyone in the United States.
