Chelsea was a great host! We loved it and laughed so much the entire time!
We were instructed by our teacher Ali to paint our colleagues, in the comfort of our own office; and we had an absolute ball with lots of laughs.
Ali encouraged those who feared they werenāt skilled in painting and might make fools of themselves, to join in anyway. Funnily enough it was the shy ones who enjoyed the day the most and found they actually possessed hidden creative talents.

Great class! The paint brushes and canvas were great quality. The teacher was good and helpful. It was a bit shorter than other paint and sip classes i've been to which are usually 3 hours. Their classes here are 2.5 hours which is why the painting felt a bit rushed, but it was still a great experience. My partner and i definitely had so much fun! We both loved how our paintings turned out.
