Painting with a Twist is located at 178 E Crogan St, Suite 230, Lawrenceville, GA 30046 right in downtown Lawrenceville. The facility is very clean, organized and nicely decorated with numerous paintings, and the staff is super friendly and talented.
We dropped my daughter off at 12:30pm, and picked her up at 3pm. She had an amazing time, independently (with instruction from a teacher) painting her own masterpieces. She felt very proud and accomplished, and was able to express her unique self by adding her little "twist" to the paintings. She added a mermaid to one, and a baby turtle to another. Coincidentally, the two days we chose had a water theme, so the paintings really complement each other, and will look great hanging in her room.
She begged me to go again, and if she had her way, she would go every day. She even wants to go on the weekends. They do not have any more kids' classes until Summer Break. You can check the calendar to register your child for the painting of their choice, or choose a day that is convenient for you. We originally picked my daughter's 2 favorite paintings from the calendar, but after her first class, she didn't care what she painted, she wanted to paint every single day so be warned :)
The paintings came out so beautifully, on the canvas. I immediately went to the store to buy Command Strips to hang them up. We will display these 2 paintings in my daughter's room, but I'm sure by the end of summer we will run out of wall space. They make great gifts as well to family members and friends; I'm sure the grandparents will love it.
In addition to the canvas painting, the kids also received free face painting, and a toy. The first day my daughter picked a blow-up sea horse pool toy while her friend picked a hula-hoop. The second day she picked an activity book with markers.
It is definitely worth the $25 fee. You can get a break for a few hours, as it is a drop-off class, you child has their independent time to cultivate their art skills and create something unique and their own, you have a canvas that can be hanged as artwork in your home, your child will get extra goodies and possibly make new friends.
Painting with a twist will have a Summer Camp for kids starting at the end of May. So keep an eye on Macaroni Kid's calendar or theirs on their WEBSITE. You can also follow Painting with a Twist on FACEBOOK.
