This was a really great time. It was really easy for the gift card. I got this as a gift for my brother we both went and had an absolute blast. It would be a good gift for any level of paintingThis was a really great time. It was really easy for the gift card. I got this as a gift for my brother we both went and had an absolute blast. It would be a good gift for any level of painting experience the tutor really adapts to you. I was looking for a painting class but we didn't want to do the paint and sip party, not really my scene. This was super good. We both have left with a really nice painting each. Would definitely recommend. It was a little cold so maybe bring a good jumper they provide a covering for you. + more

If your friend is a fan of culinary delights, our cooking workshops provide a unique birthday idea that will leave them with more than just delicious memories.
