• 1/5 from Akshay Hampapur, attended Feb 2025: Hello, I have never been compelled to leave a review, but we took this class and have never been further apalled. After the class, several of us chatted outside and all felt the same way. There are multiple reasons we are quite disappointed. 1. Instructor was unprepared. As guests arrived, she requested the guests to fill water cups, and clean up paint cups afterwards. Class started late as things were not set up ahead of time. 2. There was no instruction. Many of us signed up expecting a level of instruction similar to other Paint and Sips. Rather, the only thing provided was the canvas and paint. She told us to “paint our partners” and nothing else. There was no other instruction or direction provided. At no point did she share how to do any of the painting or canvas. I could have done this at home myself. 3. The wine situation was difficult. The wine opener did not work, and the instructor did not open any wine. She requested other guests to do it ourselves. When the wine opener broke (there was a cork stuck inside so it was not functional) she just said “oh i dont know how to use that. Then she cursed out someone saying “You better not fuck this up again” since one of the corks broke. Another guest had to push in the cork using a pair of scissors. Btw the bottles of wine had stickers saying they are $10, once again showing how unprofessional this class was. 4. Instructor was inappropriate and unfocused. She focused a lot of time mentioning her multiple partners. At multiple points throughout the class, she left to send voice notes and texts to her partners. There was way too much information shared about her personal life problems that were not appropriate for the class. Direct quotes — “i hate stupid holidays like valentines, xmas, etc. because my phone is not a safe space”. Keep in mind, this class was on Valentine’s Day with everyone showing up in couples. In addition, she spent a lot of the class texting, phone calls and messages for her later plans and was very distracted. 5. Class was extremely rushed. Multiple times, the class was instructed to leave early since she has other plans later in the evening. Class felt like she wanted us to leave immediately or else she was going to be upset. 6.Focus on self promotion of other gigs she has. She kept mentioning her other plans and jobs she has and provided mean comments about other events.
• 5/5 from Joanne Bergin, attended Nov 2024: Great teacher! She took it slow, but at a constant pace for all of our variety of experienced artistes! We painted a view of the Golden Gate Bridge with sunset skies and moon and stars. We thoroughly enjoyed the team building activity and especially appreciate the chance to hand select our wine options during the painting!
• 5/5 from Vanessa Amatori, attended Nov 2024: We took the class as part of a work event, and it was such a great experience! The space was warm, inviting, and had a really comfortable atmosphere, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the session. Our instructor, Emily, was absolutely fantastic! She was knowledgeable, engaging, and really made the class fun and accessible for everyone. We learned a lot and had a great time in the process. I would definitely recommend doing this again—such a great way to bond with coworkers. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!
