What do you love most about being in Downtown Appleton?
We love when people stop and look in the windows when we are holding a class, their facial expression always reads as amazement!
If you were a super-hero, what powers would you have?
The power to help people relax, I mean the beer and wine does a pretty good job but besides that! A lot of people are self-critical, but we should all strive to do art because it’s fun not to achieve perfection. There’s so much beauty in the imperfect!

Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Kehinde Wiley, and Georgia O’Keeffe, because they are some of our artist instructors’ favorite artists.

Something else fun and unique about your business you want to share?
Every now and then we do things other than paint, last holiday season we taught several classes on finger knitting chunky knit blankets! Watch our calendar for future DIY activities.
