I recently hosted a painting event for a group of eight at ArtfuliStudio, and it was an absolute blast! Deirdra, the instructor, is incredibly fun and easy to follow. The studio itself is well-equipped for a delightful experience. The project we worked on was both simple to execute and produced beautiful results that we're proud to display in our homes. We had plenty of time to chat and let our creative juices flow while enjoying each other's company. Plus, the price was even better than I anticipated. I highly recommend it for a fun and affordable evening with friends!
