I never thought that I would enjoy painting because I don't think I have any artistic ability, so…read morewhen my mother in law suggested a girls night with my sister in laws painting a butterfly two years ago... I wasn't super thrilled at the idea but it sounded like I'd have fun because there was alcohol involved. Now I can say I have 6 different pieces hanging around my house that I am proud to say that I painted, thanks to Judy! Brush and Cork is not your typical "wine and paint night" where you get drunk and come home with a painting you may or may not like. Judy has the image sketched out on the canvas in pencil, so you are following along with her like a paint by number. She teaches you every step of the way, and makes sure that everyone goes home with something they love. I love that the canvases are pre drawn, because even if you don't feel like you have artistic talent you can bring home something beautiful. Other paint nights that I have gone to with a blank canvas just aren't as fun... I feel more stressed and like I'm wasting my money. Besides the fact that she makes it easy to kickback and have a fun night with your friends, Judy is a wonderful teacher. She takes her time, and goes at the pace of the class instead of just blasting through everything to make sure the class is over by 9. She wants everyone to succeed, and you can tell she isn't just following a "trend" and making it all about the money. She is a fantastic artist, and a great teacher. I've now moved over an hour away, and I still make the drive up to do paintings with my mother in law and sister in law, Judy is worth the drive. :)

This store is well lit and well laid out for easy browsing. They also host some fun art classes like painting, beading, ceramics, wood working, sewing, and fiber art. My favorite aspect of this art haven is their downstairs area - which houses handmade crafts and art from local artists. They have everything from stunning turquoise jewelry, homemade soaps, wood carvings, cards, and much more - and at a variety of different price points. Serendipity is a magical way to explore your own artistic side - and support local makers. If you're in the area - I highly recommend saving some time to check it out and get crafty :) Trust.

If you're ever struggling, Kristy is very approachable when it comes to helping her students -- which is a key factor in ANY instructor! She also offers incredible and unique works made by her own hands that are worth every fair cent for such fine quality art. I love that her offered wares are so versatile, so you are bound to find something you would love yourself! It is worth mentioning that The Black Sheep's Ink is a small business ran by one of the most honest and hardest-working artists you could meet -- so if you're all about small businesses, The Black Sheep's Ink is where your attention should be. I especially love her portrayal of faces and animals; whenever I see a face painted by Kristy, I know immediately it is her work. Please do your soul a favor and enlighten it with a visit to The Black Sheep's Ink some day!
