What Visitor Say's
5 Star Reviews!
This place is awesome! We had so much fun. Highly recommend for anyone, even if you haven't had any art experience.
This was a valentines day activity that the both of thoroughly enjoyed.
A great way to spend the evening we had a blast!
I had an AMAZING time! I never felt rushed or like my painting was not turning out right. If I didn't like something on it, she had excellent ideas and helped me make it look how I wanted it to. I am NOT artistic and am certainly not a painter but the class was super fun and easy to follow. Can't wait to do another one.
We enjoyed the experience. Seems like everyone had an "inspiration" for their designs... a real handmade quilt, a piece of art, a front porch, or a "real" barn that they wanted to adorn. Very fun. We were the first time for this class, so I'm sure more tape, more heat driers, and more assistants if there are more attendees will make this a very successful class for the Boone area! We will try to do again with more friends from our neighborhood!
