My friend and I went here for the first time over the weekend (Nov 23) thanks to a living social…read moredeal we bought a month earlier. We had no expectations for the place since we've never been any place similar. Tipsy Paintbrush is a BYOB art studio that offers weekly classes focusing on various pictures and is available for private parties. There's also a rotating list of artists that teach the classes and offer painting techniques. On the day we attended, our class was full and picture of the night was sunflowers. It's a bright but small studio space. Parking is to be found on the street (namely Charles street which is located behind the studio) since the place only has four to five spaces to its name. There are rows of tables and stools with canvasses that have a sketch of the picture already drawn out. Classes are two hours. As for BYOB, you can bring bottles of wine/beer/spiked cider, etc that can be either be kept at your station or at the back to be shared with the rest of the class. Also, you can bring in snacks (various dips/salsas/crackers/popcorn/cheeses/etc). There are plastic cups and wine glasses available should you not bring any of your own (we brought in our own glasses). The only gripe I have is that the personal station space is pretty tight. In between having space for the canvas, paint, water glass, wine glass/beer bottle, and possible snack, there's not much room to put everything. Once class begins, the instructor will walk you through the science of color mixing and different techniques to bring the painting to life. The most important thing to remember is to have fun. It's just paint! Don't go in with such a critical view of how your work comes out. Our instructor of the night was Gina and she was great. She was really patient and offered some good painting tips! I HIGHLY recommend the Tipsy Paintbrush for a fun night out!

On November 15, I arrived on time for a class at The Tipsy Paintbrush. The class was scheduled for…read more7:00-9:00. The two instructors chose to delay starting the class untill all participants arrived. The class was scheduled to last two hours. After thirty minutes (at 7:30), the class had STILL not started. That is one fourth of the scheduled class time wasted because of late participants. I had other plans after nine o' clock, so I had to leave without painting, A few people should not be allowed to waste the time of people who show up on time. Very bad policy! I was an art teacher for 25 years, and if people were late for class, I would help them catch up....NOT hold up instruction for the majority. I lost my money....not going back! I agree with another reviewer that too many participants were scheduled so the space was simply too tight.

I was interested in looking into this program for my toddler, however I find it very odd that when…read moresetting up an account it forces you to agree to this company's release of liabilities and that they can use your child's photos for social media and promotional marketing. That should not be forced on anyone and is a complete separate thing. As a parent I should have the right to opt out of this, but they don't give you an option. It's either agree to our terms or don't come here at all. I'm pretty disappointed. This is what is stated on their website for the release of liabilities: Promotional, Website, and Social Media Notice: I hereby give MY GYM, and MY GYM ENTERPRISES, permission for the copyright and use of photos or videos they may capture of my child or me for use in various areas, including but not limited to the MY GYM website, training materials, promotional materials, marketing materials, and online.

Update: I got to…read morespeak with Kristen who contacted me. She was absolutely wonderful and so understanding. Hoping going forward things change. Wonderful customer service and absolutely recommend My Gym to other parents. As a parent we just want to feel as though we are heard when expressing concerns especially towards our kids health. Kristen made me feel exactly that... heard and listened to. Looking forward to the changes ahead and pleased we are not pulling our child from the membership. Original review: It's a great place to go for little ones to get to run around and challenge motor skills while socializing. As any social setting like this one kids are sent with runny noses or colds and it gets really frustrating I have yet to see a worker wipe down any surface. Starting to get to the point where we are considering stopping our membership based on the amount of kids that are allowed in with colds and rashes. Almost doesn't seem worth it anymore being our son brings something new home almost every week which then spreads to the whole family. If they would have a wipe down between classes that would maybe help but as stated above I am aware toddlers frequently spread things in any setting like this.

I wanted my toddler to get an opportunity to socialize with other kids and learn to make something new. Instead what we got were four different parent/self-led arts & crafts stations. The two women there walked around and encouraged the kids with "good jobs", but they didn't actually do anything else. My toddler was still happy at the end and said he had fun, but then again he has fun collecting rocks. Honestly, if this is what their other classes are like, I'm better off using the $35 class fee on my own art materials. I'm bummed because it seemed so awesome to have this place near us.
