I would give Redbird Art Experience ten stars if I could. My mom and I were vacationing in the area…read moreand found this online when searching for some art classes. Redbird Art Experience is nestled within a really cool and well organized antique shop with many interesting booths. I made a reservation with Robin from Redbird via text and she was very accommodating and kind. When we arrived for our reservation, Robin explained the process to us and encouraged us to let our creativity go wild. There were many substrates to pick from including rectangular pieces of wood, frames, wood cut into shapes like mermaids, stars, hearts, and more. Once we picked our "canvases" we explored the hundreds of materials Robin has in jars, buckets, and bowls around the studio. The materials were incredible. They ranged from glass, to seashells, beads, broken jewelry bits, glass doll body parts, scrabble letters, collage paper materials, and so much more. It was so exciting and fun to dig through jars of different materials, looking for the most peculiar and interesting piece to include in my artwork. I was especially intrigued by the glass doll body parts and Robin was so encouraging and excited for me to use some! Any additional materials needed like glue, scissors, or paint were also provided by Robin. We arrived for our reservation at 12 pm and left at 4 pm and let me tell you, time flew. I had such a blast creating my artwork using materials that I've never worked with before. During our time there, Robin played some great music and offered us water and snacks which was lovely because we were there for so many hours! If you are a creative person, I strongly encourage checking out Redbird. It is totally child friendly as well. I am so bummed that I live all the way in NYC and can't come do this at least once a month. Robin is awesome, the space is fantastic and so inspiring to be in, and the prices are unbeatable. It was $25 for the picture frame I chose to make art with, and all the materials are included in the price. There's literally no better way to spend a day than at Redbird!

TL;DR: Terrible customer service!…read more First one star review, here we go! I have been a long time customer of the Zoo Gallery, I have lived in the area for 19 years, almost as long as the gallery has been around. Over the years I have bought a multitude of great and unique hats, bags, trinkets, etc. They have interesting things, but after my last experience with the zoo gallery, I will never shop there again. This Christmas I chose the Zoo Gallery as my first stop for gift shopping, and purchased a very personal item for a family member, sunglasses. Because of sunglasses very personal nature, it was a very high probability that the family member would not like the sunglasses, and since they were $160, I wanted to ensure I could return them. I asked the clerk on duty if I could, to which she replied yes, I purchased them, and was on my way. After Christmas, my family member did not like the look of the sunglasses, after trying them on for only a few minutes. They were immediately replaced in their packaging as they came, and we returned to the store, with the receipt. Here I was told by the OWNER of the Zoo Gallery that I could NOT return these sunglasses, despite the fact that they were ready to be put on the shelf and sold again. Why? Because a sign on the counter said so. I don't know about you, but I don't make it a point to read signs when I go shopping, I converse with people, and I was told I could return them. I was shocked when I was told that despite this, the employees word would not be honored, and even more shocked when I was told that, while I could get store credit, IT EXPIRED IN A YEAR. EXCUSE ME? I have spent hundreds of dollars in this store over the years, but my purchases can be years between each other sometimes. This entire customer service experience left me feeling dirty for shopping from such a disrespectful, and rude shop. Not the kind of customer service I expect in this century! I will never shop here again.

My group booked Emily for a bachelorette party activity and it was a great experience!…read more I was the one of the group that actually booked it so I was communicating with Emily prior to the date we booked her for. She was quick to respond and very friendly! She gave me a bunch of options to pick from that I felt would work good for the group/theme. On the day of the booking, she arrived on time to set up and she provides all the supplies needed. You can also pick what size canvas you want. We all had to travel with carry on suitcases so we opted for a smaller canvas and it was perfect. She was very helpful and painted along with us, giving us tips when features came up. I would recommend her service for any event that you want to add a fun touch with a memorable/personal souvenir.

Emily gives easy to follow, gentle, encouraging class instruction, as well as individual help as needed. The variety of classes and projects is wonderful, and the different locations of classes are a fun way to explore the Panhandle area. I don't consider myself a painter/artist, but Emily's classes are therapeutic for me bc I get to spend a couple hours relaxing, making something, and using a part of my brain and self I don't usually exercise. It's good to "get out of my head" for a bit and create! Whether it's a class or a private event for adults or kiddos, The Traveling Painter will not disappoint. We highly recommend this business and these classes!
