Just try to kick me out of here! When this first opened, I dragged my future hubs to do crafts with me and he gave me 2 hours, painted a jet, and I painted a seder plate (they have seasonal holiday stuff!) My seder plate came out great. Fast forward a year, and my friend and I decided to paint today.
One particular staff member was soooo patient and helpful - Julie. She rocks! I decided today to do some actually techniques and not just paint lazily. This is so therapeutic! There are nights where you can bring in wine while you paint!
I decided on a large tile for $12 which I then portioned with thin masking tape into 4 tiles (like a mosaic). Julie showed me some techniques to use, so I ended up doing one where I painted some colors, printed shapes and letters to trace from their computer, and transferred the images to paper-tape stuff that covered my colors. Then I painted a dark grey over the letters so when I removed it, the letters are mixed colors with a grey background. I also used a technique called something like scarpetto when I painted heavy coats of a color then used a scraping tool to scrape out my wedding date. I cannot wait to see this in a few days when it is fired and glazed.
They have lots of weekly specials and when you go in, a coupon for a free studio fee for next time!
