I made some concrete coasters from scratch while I sipped an espresso martini. The service is prompt, and the specialists are also really kind and knowledgeable. The crafts range from simple to complex, and every craft is very independent! Avoid if you're not into loud noises as the work space is a little small and others and their crafts will be making lots of noise! (Especially the hammer for the leather works!) I've never had a drink here I didn't love, but the espresso martini especially is one of my favorites in the city. Really mellow flavor and very foamy. The Craftery is perfect for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and date nights. Next time skip the fancy dinner and make some concrete coasters instead! Then grab some takeout and enjoy your craft!

The staff were amazing and kept the drink line reasonable. I also loved their generosity in donating two visits to the bingo winners.

Each day a different painting is taught, and they're all original pieces of art designed by the artists in house. Even though the instructor goes through a step by step process, you're implored to do WHATEVER YOU WANT ! For example, some in my session painted their own creation entirely, while I kept the portrait the same, and just changed the colors to a neon color palette. My espresso martini was so yummy. The drinks are not included in the $30-39 booking price. I've had more expensive painting experiences that included a drink, so I figured this evened out as far as competitor pricing goes. I will say though, my group of 6 almost all ordered different drinks and everyone loved theirs and grabbed a second. Considering everything , I felt the price point was adequate for all that is offered and the long time slot provided. I will for sure be back for date night!

I've been to other painting classes and Board & Brush is the Cream of the Crop hands down. The process is super easy. Go online and choose your project, you can even customize what you want it to say. Once you arrive and check in they already have your seating set up, (TIP: if you are going with a friend make sure you put that friend's name down...they have a place for that when you're booking.). This place is staffed appropriately and they are like a well oiled machine. We got to our table they had the boards there and the stencils and confirm that it's to your liking. I didn't realize that we actually put the boards together, stain them along with the painting; but, don't freak out, they have everything you need and it's super fun to do that part. My friend chose a beautiful cardinal scene to put outside her front door for Christmas and I chose the gingerbread man. I did change what they had written on the website to be "Home Sweet Home". Y'all it is so fun and fulfilling to complete a project start to finish. I'm gushing so I'm gonna finish with this...don't put this off, just go. It's so much fun to do by yourself or with friends. Oh and if you want some wine they have it!! Whoo hoo!!! Trust me just go. You will enjoy it!

So I searched online for nearby classes because I need someone to watch where I'm going wrong. Ms. Audrey's offered a beginner class at a time that worked for me and a price that was very affordable. The class had 4 other students and was held in her store. She is a patient instructor and made sure everyone was on the same step as we went along. She explained things in a way that just clicked. I will definitely return for a level 2 class.

They bring a passion with them to the expertise they offer you. That's what it's like to step into Ms Audrey's Emporium. The entrance is filled with art projects that invite you to explore within yourself- What do you wish to create? What crafting skill have you been meaning to pick up or grow? What part of you haven't you had a chance to express yet? And then Ms Audrey will ask you what you're interested in making, so she can help you bring it from idea to life! My artistic, seven-year-old daughter and I came to Louisville for spring break and enjoyed spending more than two days with Ms Audrey. We had stopped at the Speed Art Museum on our way into the city. Pro tip: The speed is free on Sundays. My daughter was inspired by some community artwork with mixed media on canvas. We showed a picture of the inspiration to Ms Audrey. She had the perfect materials and know-how to help us create our own masterpiece, inspired by the art we saw at the museum. My daughter did not want to do anything else in the city besides make art with Ms Audrey- we even skipped the children's museum. We learned different techniques for using the materials and I'll definitely be incorporating them as we continue to create at home. Ms Audrey helps you not only bring beauty into the world, but she makes learning a new craft accessible step by step. Her process helps you create while expanding your crafting skills along the way. She offers such a unique experience. As someone who continually strives to bring analog experiences to the younger generations, I fully approve and value the service she brings to the community. Her prices are absolutely affordable for the value and materials she has to offer. If you're considering starting a crafting hobby or working on a specific craft project, go see Ms Audrey.

I have been to this paint and sip location a few times and have always really enjoyed myself in the…read morepast, so I was a bit disappointed in my most recent visit. We always have gone with a private booked group and the past couple of times we were back in the smaller private room. This occasion we had about 26 ppl so we had booked the larger rooms. We arrived 20mins before our 6pm scheduled start only to find that they gad double booked for the evening. They wanted to put the 26 of us back in the smaller room when the other group of about 18 wasn't scheduled until 7ish. They obviously weren't expecting us and had to scramble to set up our colors ect. Our booking had been on the books and prepaid several months ahead. I will say that the 2 employees working did work to get us set up but this caused a delay in our start time...which comes in later. As we lined up for payment/drinks etc we were then informed that they no longer had wine. They had single bottle coolers and bud light. That was disappointing since when we'd been here in the past you could purchase by the glass or bottle and we usually by several bottles. As the 2nd group arrived the 2nd employee took them to the back leaving us with only our instructor, which meant any time someone needed a drink ahe had to go handle that which lead to several stops in the instructional process, which was already spotty in my opinion. I personally didn't feel the instructor we had was very personable. In the past we've enjoyed great interaction and encouragement. I could hardly hear anything she was saying (other paint and sips I've gone to wear a headset mic). The only time she seemed interested in having us hear her is when she was trying to sell us some pre-painted items in the shop. Most places will mention that items can ve bought but I really felt like it was being pushed hard as there was more than 1 time she brought something to the front of the room and discussed it's availability for purchase. As we wrapped up and as the 2nd group was finishing thier 1hr class, we were instructed to 'brushes down' so she could get our group photo. I felt like we were being pushed out the door. And while I get that they want to close and go home, it was thier error that delayed our start time by about half an hour. I am hoping that this experience isn't the norm for this location, the past 2 visits were very enjoyable. However if this place isn't going to be serving wine we certainly will be looking for a new location for our regular GNO.

The area is quiet, peaceful, and makes for a great photo opportunity. The building itself feels like a cozy historic home and is decorated with beautiful artwork throughout, which really adds to the atmosphere. One thing I loved was that many of the paintings on display were available for purchase at very affordable prices. Smaller pieces were just $2 and larger ones were around $5, making it easy to take home a unique piece of art. I also used a Groupon, which made the experience an even better value and essentially gave me a two-for-one deal. There were only four people in the class, so it felt very personal and intimate rather than crowded. I pre-ordered wine for an additional $13, and they also had other beverages available along with a bartender on site. The staff was welcoming, and the overall environment was relaxed and enjoyable. My only challenge was the painting we were assigned. It was much more difficult than I expected and became a little stressful at times trying to keep up. If I return, I would probably choose an easier painting option that better matches my skill level. Even so, I had a good time and would definitely consider coming back for another class.
