Gina set up her patio for us to be able to follow covid-19 precautions and still enjoy ourselves painting. This was our first time painting and we are ready to do it again! Gina was great! She made us feel welcomed and comfortable throughout our painting session. She's such a great teacher, she was patient and kept us motivated and moving on with our painting. I didn't realize how relaxing this would be! Definitely will be coming back to paint with Gina!

Not happy with Yaymaker. I purchased two Groupon tickets for this PaintNite company, which had to…read morebe used within a few months. I kept checking online to see each month what events were coming up in my area. But unfortunately not much to choose from. Themes were almost always trees, beaches, etc., and weird choices of colors and nothing exciting. Checked out Pinot's Palette to see if maybe this is just how all the paint events were. And wow! Lots to choose from and even lots of Christmas in July themes. (And no, I'm not being paid by Pinot's Palette to say this.) Anyway, my coupons expire 7/16 and with nothing different going on at Yaymaker, I will have to forfeit them. Goodbye Yaymaker,

My 5 year old daughter is very fond of painting & crafting so I decided to explore this place as…read morethey are new to see what all the offered. I had both of my toddlers with me and as soon as I walked in, instead of putting down the little dog in a cage as the lady was going to for some reason she thought to let him loose. This dog ran across the store after my kids and cornered my screaming, crying, horrified 3 year old in the corner. That was the first and last time I'll be returning back to this place not only for my daughter's love for art but also for any future girls paint night plans I had. This is not how you run a business by keeping your pets inside- specially if they are not behaved. The woman herself couldn't even catch up to the dog because of her own health, so there's no way she was going to stop this crazy dog. The least she could have done was apologize but that never came either. I picked up both my kids and immediately left. Either run a business properly and keep your crazy animals home or give the space to another business - because that's what manteca needs! *Personally I expected a cat given the business name, which I am also allergic too- so I wouldn't come back if that was the case either. *

Both Buster and Andrea were part of the Holiday Bazaar I organized in December 2013 at my daughter's elementary school. All the children in attendance were thrilled to get a special balloon created by Buster and then step to their right and have their faces transformed by Andrea. Buster and Andrea are a great team, detail oriented, super attitudes and the patience of saints. They love kids and kids love them. The duo always have smiles planted on their faces and positive energy. Their talents are beyond your imagination and add that "something special" to any party/event. Creative Faces and Balloons also give back to the community in various ways which only makes them that much more awesome. Can't wait to have them at my next event!

Some of the same local artists whose art you can buy also give classes in the learning space. Exhibits rotate often, and there are always announcements for the next one. Now here's the thing with a place that displays a lot of local art: the aesthetics will vary. There are artists I think are top-notch (and I buy the print versions I can afford because my current budget doesn't stretch to originals to go over the sofa). There are artists I think are.. having a great time with self-expression (so I don't buy). Regardless, it is delightful that these are my neighbors (more or less), and many are depicting the local landscape in a part of California that tends to get neglected. Where else can I buy prints of actual Modesto-area places, rather than the "more important" beauty spots elsewhere in the state? I adore this gallery and go as often as I can. Occasionally they will feed you cheese bits or whatever, in a festive way.
