We loved every minute of it!…read more I bought two groupons for this place for a night my fiancé and I get bored and can't find anything to do. So on Monday, we finally decided to go. At first he wasn't thrilled about the idea but I forced him to come with me since I didn't want to waste our tickets. The class starts on time and 3 hours later, we were sad it was over! My fiancé actually got into it! They walk you through all the steps so there is really no way you could mess the painting up. It's not meant for artists. It's meant for people who've never painted before. Our instructor was really enthusiastic and was VERY patient. We had an older woman sitting across us who was over thinking and kept asking the instructor to fix her painting. I was annoyed but the assistant and the instructor were so patient and kind to her. You can bring alcohol so that obviously made it more fun for us too! this is such a good date night or a night with your friends. Check their calendar and the time allotted for each painting because the time it takes to finish one varies. It also gets really busy on that street so get there early! Eat somewhere at Lenox village instead. Traffic around that area is horrible! Great great experience! We loved it!

You would like to supervise and watch your child learn how to paint. But the rule for a group party if you're not painting you aren't allowed in the back. They consider that "spectators" not allowed. So your invite to a birthday party you would have to leave your child to paint by themselves or paint with them. You can't just watch. For a kids birthday party you shouldn't have to leave minor kids ages 7 alone due to some policy they have. I felt like the way the instructor came about this wasn't so considerate. Just put a bad taste in my mouth to not ever have a birthday party booked here. During the booking the place could have notified the person booking and let them be aware of the policy is before having a kids party. We all could have been aware warned when we first walked in.

He is skilled and helpful without being intimidating. The kids were free to explore their personal gifts and visions but had Billy there to aid them in how to do it.

His studio always had a good vibe and lots of interesting artwork hanging and things for sale that would Inspire their creativity further. San Diego took a big loss when neko press relocated .

Get your hands dirty and develop a new hobby!…read more This art studio and gallery offers 2D printing, painting, drawing and ceramics classes. I've taken the ceramics classes here with a focus on wheel throwing and I love it! Becca is an awesome instructor and allows the class to be free to create, but also helps to steer you in the right direction. I'll be taking the summer class here in May. I've been throwing on the wheel off and on for about 15 years now and the intermediate class offered here is perfect for shaking off the cobwebs. They do offer beginner ceramic classes if you're looking to just dip your toe into the ceramic slip. The classes are about $100 for 8- 12 weeks and the cost includes your clay. For comparison other ceramic classes can start $300! I know I'm about to blow up my own cozy quiet nook of Nashville, but if that means the community discovers and supports this arts center... I'm here for it!
