| - My friend and I went here for our second attempt at painting, and we did sugar skulls. After having such a great time at the Durango location attempting Starry Night, we figured a sugar skull would be much easier and more fun, and we were right. Jenny (Jennifer?) was our instructor again, which made us happy as we had already had her as an instructor and knew her sense of humor.
The painting was much easier than Starry Night (protip: try not to make your first painting one of the great masters. I know I had major confidence issues for a while afterward). Once again, Jenny walked us through step by step, and encouraged us to do our own thing. I saw someone else mention that they frowned on doing your own thing, but I didn't have that issue. Maybe she just had a bad class? idk. The original painting was adorable, but I wanted to do something a little different, and Jenny encouraged it.
We had so much fun the second time around that we got a group of folks together to go to the next class with us. Apparently if you have 5 or more in a group, you can have them reserve spaces for you! And they give you a tiara if it's your birthday, so my little brother and I will be celebrating ours this time around.
Again, I cannot express how much fun this idea is. Design and Dine is brilliant, and if you don't drink, that's okay. They have soda, as well as beer & wine & other choices, and the food is amazing.
Seriously, if you're looking for something to do? Give this a try. It's a great date idea, good way to hang out with the girls without going to a lame bar & having to shout over the music, and you have something to show when you come home. :)
