I went with a decent size group and each one of us interpreted the painting that we had chosen a little differently. The instructor was our "guide" but not a strict coach which allowed all of us to use our creativity and make it our own. I enjoyed that the $35 price comes with all the essentials needed AND you get to take home your art. **This location also partners with a Yoga class. It's a shared space with multiple uses** One downfall I will say about this is, there are NO signs for telling you where Happy Our Art is. It was dark and rainy when we went and were only able to find the place because one of the ladies going the event had already arrived. We were guided by "Look for the sign that says Unwinding". I would certainly do this again! The class was fun, the instructor was friendly, and the space was perfect for a medium sized group.

I went to Happy Our Art for a work event. It was a nice event where we all painted together and was…read moreable to listen to music and talk. The instructor was very nice and guided us through the art piece and helped the beginners that had several questions. Happy Our Art is beautifully decorated. The art pieces are hanging with different designs for maybe the next piece you make. The website gives a calendar of the different pieces so you can know ahead of time. (Perfect for people like me that can choose ahead of time and go if they are doing something that I find cool.) Again, as mentioned, the staff was very helpful and responded quickly to email and any questions we had before our work event. The only concern I have is the location. It is really hard to find. Go on Main Street. Turn onto 9th Street and off 9th Street turn left onto Holiday Terrace. Look for Unwindings sign and it is in the basement of Unwindings. Overall: I will give them 4 stars. The cost is a little high but it is a fun event and could be good for date night or work events. The location is hard to find but now that I know. Next time I go, I won't get lost!

It's fun being able to pick out whatever sign you want ahead of time & then customize it with wood stain, paint color, and other details in the studio. The class leader helps to guide everyone through each step throughout the class. there's also tons of examples hanging on the wall to help you pick too. Also.... did I mention there's free wine?!?! Definite perk. I have been to other locations & have had the most fun here. Everyone is so nice & the owners are super personable! Also be sure to follow them on Facebook for specials & giveaways throughout the year!

They definitely need to hire more staff, our class got briefly interrupted both times due to understaffing. The current staff was great but they could use some help!

Well. I like doing this a lot because of my own creative ambitions. However the host was absolutely…read moreand obviously less friendly and helpful to us than the other two sets of groups. He frequently helped, complemented, and socialized with them and rarely with us. Unfortunately those other people were all White (7 total) in a group of 9 people --my friend and I being there folks of Color. To be honest, I have a hard time recommending anyone to go there without sharing the obviousness in the way he went about interacting with us (people of color) versus the people that looked like him. When Wine and scan as Frandor comes up in convo, I feel like I should warn any person of color that they might need to use some emotional energy not to notice.

I had only ever been in here during…read moreart prize but I had always heard great things and I have a friend that frequents classes here so I was looking forward to finally checking one out. We went to the paint your pet session that I believe they do once a month. We submitted pictures of our pet to them after booking (about 3-4 weeks in advance) and they provided us with a general outlined sketch that we could follow for our painting. Thank god they did this because I do not consider myself creative and this made the whole thing easier and less stressful. Typically these classes provide a step by step instruction led by a teacher/instructor but since these were all individualized pet paintings, they could not really do that. The teacher was great anyways and super friendly. She offered tips on colors and how to get certain textures or features. They were always available for questions and were walking around the room most of the time to help out. I was really happy with how my painting turned out. I felt like it really looked like my pup!! They are in a great location off of Ionia with many parking garages surrounding or you may get lucky and find some street parking. They also have a bar available with many drink options that you can pay for. I look forward to taking another class here in the future!
