I think I've discovered the inner-artist in me. Attended my first ever paint night with a small…read moregroup and absolutely loved the entire experience! Studio is warm and inviting. There are a few small classrooms which are decorated with artwork...very motivating! It's BYOB and you can also bring food items (apps/snacks) to enjoy while creating your masterpiece. The instructor was great, very helpful and clearly explained each step of the process. I was frustrated at the beginning, having not painted since middle school, but began to develop confidence as my painting was near finished. I was also able to go back and touch up some areas that I thought needed it. A great way to spend an evening with friends. I definitely plan to return. They constantly offer promos and discounts (on their website and via groupon/living social), which I plan to keep an eye on, for my next visit.

She encouraged us 100 percent and we had so much fun taking her class! She was very patient and answered all our questions the whole time.

Thank you Chloe for making our night!!!

For those who are not quilters, there is also a nice variety of patterns and fabrics for making garments as well.
