This is a wonderful idea!! We went as a family, my request for my birthday present! We had a really good time (My husband ,14 yr. old daughter and 11 yr.old son) even my husband who said "No way am I going to be able to do this" and our kids (who are NOT artsy) really had fun and we have great holiday art from it! They all went for me but we all ended up having fun and couldn't believe what we were walking away with.
My thought/dream is that when my children are grown and have children of their own, and visit each other over the holidays their kids will say "oh we have that painting, my Mom/Dad painted it with Grandma & Grandpa when they were young" :-) :-). That is my hope anyway!!
The only thing was the girl who was the instructor was more on the quieter side (I have been before where the instructor was very outgoing and got everyone really into it, we were all singing and laughing, it made the whole experience a LOT more fun) she was good but not a ton of fun. We took a long time on the first part of the picture which was the background and then had to rush for the main picture and the details, felt very rushed, seem like it should have been the other way around, we all kind of said that same thing on our way home.
All in all, we had a good time, have a great memory and wonderful art work that I hope I will see every winter for many, many...
Read moreI have quickly become a regular at this location of Painting with a Twist. My first ever time here was December 28th, 2017, and since then I have been 1/2 a dozen times. The instructors are top-notch, and know how to walk anyone through a painting, regardless of skill. Kristen is my favorite instructor and I already have seats reserved in four of her upcoming classes. She is a natural teacher and does a great job of giving instructions and examples that illustrate what needs to be done to achieve the desired effect. She is also extremely patient and good at coaching one-on-one when needed during a painting. I've also had great classes with Jackie and Jill and look forward to coming back and honing my skill more with each class. The atmosphere of this Painting with a Twist is always laid-back and relaxed, and I've never seen anyone leave unhappy with their finished product. For me, I'm becoming quite confident painting free-form trees and establishing a well-blended background. I look forward to...
Read morePWAT Rochester was such a memorable experience!
We recently celebrated my best friend’s birthday at this location. The studio’s environment was relaxing and welcoming as we were the only group that evening. We were able to bring in our own bottles of wine, foods and I was able to choose a playlist for our party to listen to. Drinks are available for purchase within the studio however. The party’s host chooses a painting pre-festivities then an instructor guides us through the process! We also made DIY candles before painting where you get to choose your own scent(s) and add color to your candle wax. Each activity was delightful and easy to follow along. Shoutout to our instructor Will– he was so sweet, patient, and engaging with us! He encouraged following along with the demo or adding your own creative style to the painting. Definitely recommend this studio for a unique party experience.
Thank you Painting with a Twist for a lovely evening filled with joy...
