I've been somewhat interested to see what this is about and managed to get a Groupon which included a workshop and a drink.
Staff: They're very friendly and are available to make suggestions. I wished that since we were in a workshop that they'd provide more guidance. They only offered very basic starting points and for the most part we were left to our own devices. I was hoping to gain more technique on colour skills and paint strokes, instead it was a lot of "mix until you feel it is right". Now, I do understand that art is subjective though and a form of expression, so I get what they were going for.
Facilities: They have plenty of paints and brushes. It's quite messy, but what else would you expect? They provide plastic bags for purses and belongings which was much appreciated. They also had blow dryers to dry your art so it gets quite loud in their when everyone is using them. This isn't the most top notch quality in materials but it's definitely not dollar store quality either. I will say that the stools confused me because I didn't know if I could sit on them or if they were for my paints or both! I could've asked but it seemed like it would be such a silly thing to ask haha
Drink: I had the Lemonade, it was cool and refreshing, sweet and tart. I wish they were a little more organized with the drinks process because it was a lot of "who ordered this?" and multiple people would try to claim it.
Overall, I like the concept, but I think next time I'd rather freestyle than do a workshop since there doesn't seem to be too much of an advantage doing a workshop.
