Brush It Off - Fiskdale

We booked this location, actually, for a paint and sip birthday party for our 5 year old daughter. We supplied the cake and juice boxes, they supplied the paint . We found it to be a GREAT idea and the parents who attended with their children loved the concept as well. The kids, due to their age and therefore, level of skill, were able to choose a small ceramic figurine in the back and paint it, which was later dried and glazed for them prior to leaving. They all enjoyed themselves and there was a very good variety of figurines and paint colors to choose from. The kids liked it because they were able to leave the party with something they had painted themselves. I was quite pleased, overall, with the business. They lose one star because the instructor was a half an hour late. We had arranged to show up at 10:30 AM for set-up, with the party to start at 11:00. The instructor arrived and opened the door to us at 11:03. While she was apologetic, I hardly consider that level of tardiness acceptable. There were a few very anxious moments because all of the guests were in the hallway and we stood alongside them with our cake, ice cream, favors, decorations, wondering if anyone was ever going to show to open the studio. It was a little embarrassing and not the best first impression for those people who had never been there before.

Really enjoyed my time here with one of my girl friends. Thankfully got a $25 Groupon which made it a great deal. The regular price for the lessons, canvas, paint, and apron is $35. Our instructor was very good and gave great tips. We went during school vacation though and most of the room was filled with 8 to 14 year old girls (at least 12 of them) and one particularly large group of young girls that made it hard to follow the instructions because they were quite chatty and loud. I understand it 's a social event, especially chatting while painting but I wish they quieted down or whispered during the instructions. I look forward to coming back but hopefully on a night with a more respectful group. Thr chairs were a little uncomfortable but I loved that we could bring food. I took full advantage of it and brought a pasta dish that they allowed me to heat up in their office microwave. Also brought some dessert. It was great! Makes it less expensive night than Paint Nite (which I 've also attended). You can 't bring a drink in though because they have a liquor license. However my friend brought in her Dunkin Donuts drink and they didn 't say anything. Drinks aren 't cheap but not crazy overpriced either. They sell beer, wine, and soft drinks. They also sell snacks like chips. They were also very accommodating about changing our reservations last minute. Parking and entrance is on the side of the building and plentiful. There is no entrance on the street facing side. Looking forward to coming back. My husband said I ACTUALLY like this painting and had me find a place for it right away, so I 'd say the evening at Brush it Off was a success!

We invaded Brush it off's open paint with a large group of 11 of us, all moms and teens. (We did call ahead to make sure she can accommodate us). Denise was fantastic!!!! 4 of us selected paintings, and the rest all painted ceramics. There were so many great options. Even though we live an hour away, we are already planning our return visit.

Had a really great experience here with a large group (fundraiser). Reasonable prices, and great teacher. Can't wait to attend my next class!

Amazing experience every time! I've come with a large group and small group and both times were great. Denise is very helpful (I'm a beginner) and explains things in a way that I can understand. Highly suggest Paint Sip nights here!!
