Great staff. But a little high on the price overall I will say, though the equipment, including all the brushes and paints were high-quality.

We have been coming to prancing pig since my girls were about 3 years old. It always feels so welcoming when we come in. Bonus when we get to see crash. We have so many cherished memories at the studio. Thank you for that.

My grandsons and I had a lot of fun that day. The owner and her staff were wonderful to work with and very accommodating . I can't remember the name of the young lady that assisted us, her name started with an R. She was so patient answering their questions and they had a lot of them. While one grandchild finished the other started chatting with the owner. My grandchildren are 12 and 9 they thought it was really cool for adults to treat them like "regular customers".

This was our first visit. From the moment my family and I walked in we were greeted with a warm welcome. The environment was peaceful and serene. There were many pieces to choose from and many supplies to paint with. The staff thoroughly explanied their equipment and the process. The staff engaged in our painting experience every step of the way. We had so much fun and can definitely see ourselves going back!!!

There was a gentleman working during our session. He was a bit short with guests. I'm sure he was trying to be helpful but he came across in a negative way. We didn't interact with him personally, however I did notice the reactions of the guests he did interact with. While I can't speak for them, I believe they felt the same.

I brought my granddaughter for a fun day together. It was fun to watch her pick something out to paint. She really enjoyed her experience there. I tried to pay with a gift certificate that I was told was sold to my family member by a prior owner. I was not able to use it. It was for $40.00. This is an established business and I feel this was a poor decision on your part.
