We had a great time. We celebrated my daughters 11th birthday here. The employees were amazing. Miranda and Denise made the party so much fun. Best of all my daughter smiled the whole time.

We had an amazing time. My daughter celebrated her 11th birthday at Calliope Street. The employees were fantastic and Miranda and Denise made it so much fun. We will definitely go back.

Attended a paint class to celebrate a friend's recent wedding. We painted sugar skulls and all of us had a blast. I ordered a wine slushy. The music was great and really good instructions for the paint class. I will be back!

I attended the Paint Your Pet class.Love the concept and I have a beautiful canvas of my pet that I will complete at home.Marina’s instruction style isn’t the right fit for me. She doesn’t allow much room for the individual artist’s creativity or vision.She removed my canvas from my easel 4 times in the 2 hours I was there. Without warning each time & mid stroke two of the four times. I had to ask her “could you please wait a minute & let me finish blending this color?”She also took the brush out of my hand several times and told me over and over “this is not quite right” and “I need you to do this, do that”.At one point I was blending colors on my palette to get the shade I wanted and she came up behind me and told me she needed me to correct the color. I showed her “I’m literally mixing it now”.Fortunately, I have taken classes at other places where you are given instruction and are also allowed to make it your own.My impression was that Marina wants you to make it the way she wants it. For example, I was happy with the hazel portion of my dogs eyes (and pupil), Marina said “this is not quite right, you’re too close, let me hold it back here and you look at it.” Then she said “see”. I said “yes, it looks great to me. LOL. Just the way I want it”.Pics attached of the before canvas and the eyes that I painted (that aren’t right). I’m not a professional artist but I am happy with the eyes.I did tell her a few times, I think we have different perspectives , I think maybe I am blending differently than you would but I’m getting the colors I want.Overall, I wouldn’t take another class with this instructor but I would definitely take a class with someone that instructs & guides but also allows you to make it your own.This particular format wasn’t healing or relaxing. And I wasn’t able to “get in the zone” between all the negative criticism.

We just had my daughters birthday party there…. And everything was perfect. They had a very spacious area for our party to set up. The instructor was wonderful and helped the party flow seamlessly. All the kids had a blast!!! Highly recommend!!!!

The wine slushies are a ton of fun along with the painting. Great for a girls night out. They also offer their slushies to take to go for events that are held at the mall.

After many years of passing through this mall and being jealous of those who were painting, it was finally my turn! Went here with a group of friends and it was the best thing we've ever done as a group. We reserved a private party of 5 and chose the waterfall painting. Deposit of $35 each person was required to save our spot.Denise, owner and painter was with us the whole night. She made us comfortable and laugh. I'm not a painter, but Denise was very encouraging the whole time which motivated me to keep going. They serve beer, wine and slushies to keep you hydrated the whole time!To my surprise, they had glitter paint that we all added onto our canvas! I highly recommend this place to anyone. The story behind the shop is heart warming and Denise will make you want to come back. Love it here, we're already planning our next piece!

We took a group of 15 and had a bunch of fun. Denise and Marina were great! They were super accommodating. Gave us a table to set up our snacks, choice of music and special color requests as well. Highly recommended for a fun night out!

the place is amazing... picking up a hand painted wine glass for a gift is always a idea!!! The painting glasses (with and without wine) is such a fabulous time!!! The shop owners are sooo nice.

Sorry I really can't rate this place. I stopped in and asked about it. I want to have an adult night here, with a few friends. I think it would be a blast. Have wine while painting. My son and daughter would love it.

I did a Bulbasaur painting class here today. I really enjoyed the class. They provided aprons, brushes, paint, canvas and other supplies. I paid for the class online ahead of time on the website. There are wine, slushies and kid friendly drinks available before the class. The instructor was patient and showed step by step how to paint. I liked my painting at the end and you get to bring it home with you.

We went in to check out this group painting thing... excellent class, so fun, and no judgement about how bad my drawing was. Seriously, I can't drAw or paint.

It was sooo much fun. Marina was so patient and encouraging with everyone in the class. Met some fun people. We learned a lot about contrasting and layering. The price was affordable for a great experience.
