A cute cafe / art workshop / indoor playground mash-up which is perfect for getting the kids out the door but still getting to have a cup of coffee and a bite to eat.

Everything in their pastry case looked incredible. Can't wait to come back and try more. Such a hidden gem.

We went for the mini rug class which was a great introduction to tufting. Once you get used to the amount of pressure you're supposed to put on the tufting gum, it's easy!

From the moment we walked in, Cathy and Nikea welcomed us with such kindness and genuine warmth that we immediately felt at home. They went above and beyond to make the day special. They patiently walked us through everything step by step, gave us great tips, making sure every member of our family felt comfortable and confident. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and their encouragement turned what could have been a simple art session into a truly unforgettable memory. The finished pieces turned out beautiful, but what really stood out was the laughter and connection we experienced thanks to Cathy and Nikea's awesome energy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a unique, fun and family-friendly activity in Richmond!! This is a MUST DO!!

We were able to bring our own food and non alcoholic drinks (wine is included) which is great. We set up a couple snacks and went to town on our paintings! The pace was great, a really chill atmosphere, and I think everyone had a great time. Absolutely no complaints. We're keeping an eye on the calendar for upcoming classes to plan our return!

It was cool... Having attended a few candle-making classes before at other businesses, it was…read moredifficult not to compare this experience to prior ones. The bar was previously set and unfortunately Wick & Sip didn't fully meet it. More scent variety would have been great. It was also nearly impossible to smell the fragrances from the samples, so you had to reference the full supply bottles to get a worthwhile whiff. Luckily my class was relatively small, but even so, getting the chance to smell certain scents was cumbersome once they were claimed by others (again, you had to use the full bottles because the smaller samples were too faint). I didn't mind the selection of drinks, but please keep in mind that they come with the purchase so don't expect huge portions. Also, both times, the gentleman poured noticeably larger amounts for my guest compared to mine. No big deal given that these aren't top shelf drinks, but it was just weird and seemed intentional. It's downtown so parking can be frustrating, but fortunately I went at the right time and managed to park in front of the establishment. I would definitely go again if invited by someone, but I would first consider other similar businesses if it's an outing that I plan myself or just feel like making candles as a solo activity.

They have many jars, fragrances, and beverages to choose from and really have something for everyone. It's a black-owned business and they have a few other locations too. This is the best value I've found for candle making sessions in the area.

They also hold classes here if anyone is interested in working with Clay! If I remember correctly, they said the classes are about 8weeks. Not too sure of the pricing, but I'm sure all that information could be found on their website.
