The intuitive painting class is not about cookie cutter techniques, nor perfect art composition - it truly is about allowing your own creativity to surface. When I arrived I was taken by the wonderful atmosphere in Cherie's studio. Everywhere you turned there was something else that was interesting and fun to look at. Cherie herself made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. I was amazed at how quickly the weekend passed and how re-charged I felt at the end. I look forward to signing up for more of Cherie's classes through out the year.

I traveled from Austin to Houston for a 3 day workshop at W-ASH. it was totally worth the trip…read morejust to discover how wonderful the space and people are. The people were very nice and welcoming and the event was well organized and communication was excellent! The venue was the best I've experienced any where. I've attended a lot of workshops and classes and gir in instructions and demos all students are usually tightly clustered around the presenter trying to get a view of what is happening. Even though I'm a taller person I'm usually unsuccessful and find myself craning my neck and bobbing around as those in front adjust their positions. Very frustrating! But not here!!! You have the option to do that or you can stay at your OWN 6 foot table and watch one of the 3 huge screens the demonstrator is projected upon. There's a W-ASH person managing the camera zooming in and out on the work or the pallet and sometime both. It works really well. And if there's a new tool involved sometimes the artist will demonstrate for fewer people again and again. The space is truly amazing. Parking was easily had on the street. Note: the elevator is out but is being worked in. The workshop is up one flight of stairs. oh.... and downstairs! there's a gallery showcasing watercolor works and there's a sales area too. Great place! so glad I took the effort to get there! And my work from the workshop didn't turn out too bad either! I hope to go back!

The instructors are very nice and helpful. You get an intro and two hours to complete & glaze your piece. They fire your pieces for you, and I've never been disappointed with the outcome. They've recently started doing handbuilding 6-week series that I wish I could be apart of, but unfortunately as of now it's on Sundays in the middle of the day, and I frequently work weekends during that time. If they offered a weekday handbuilding series, I would be all over that like white on rice.

They did provide cups but we were not aware we needed to bring ice. There were about 20-25 Mat options to choose from with a variety of cute, funny, to more bold sayings. Once selected we were sent back to our stations (5 to a section) for further instruction. The employee on our side was a little rude to some of the other guests. He was in his phone more than assisting. We were only allowed one paint color per person at a time. I'm sure this is probably to avoid waste, and accidents since space was very limited at the stations. I do think it's a bit pricey for what you get. The Mat is very rough and pieces of it are all over my car just from the drive home. I'm not sure how long it will last but it's rather small for $50. Overall I loved the experience and we had a great time!

Kiky Mats Valentine's Experience - 5 Stars!…read more We had an amazing time at Kiky Mats celebrating Valentine's Day in style! From the moment we walked in, the vibes were for the culture--warm, welcoming, and full of great energy. The hosts were attentive, engaging, and straight-up lit, making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. They set the tone right by greeting us with champagne, and from there, it was nothing but good music, good people, and creativity flowing. Designing our own custom doormats was such a unique and fun experience, and the team at Kiky Mats made the process easy and enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a date night idea or just something different to do, I highly recommend checking them out. 10/10 experience!

I had a wonderful time visiting this gallery for the first time on a Friday evening…read more When I arrived I realized I have driven past it many times. As it looks like a residential property. Upon entering it feels even more like a warm lovely home. But according to Mr. Lloyd Gite it's truly a gallery not a personal residence. Every wall was filled with amazing beautiful black art. The artist are all from Africa, and the curator Mr. Gite goes and builds relationships with the artist and ships the art to the US. I like that he opens up the space for people to enjoy and peruse the art. All of it is on sale for purchase. When I visited, alot of pieces were on sale for VERY reasonable prices. There are 2 floors. He also was serving drinks and light bites to enjoy while you view the art. I will be purchasing next time for sure. And look forward to getting to know Mr. Lloyd and continuing to support black owned businesses.
