I've been in there, but haven't done anything yet. I've been wanting to do & just never got around to it.
I also just called Corks n Canvas. We need a minimum of 15 for a private party. Private parties can be held on Mondays or Wednesday evenings. Saturday afternoons or all day on Sunday.
However we can pick a day that they have regular classes & still have a "party". They just seat us all together & we can bring in food & wine for our group! The schedule isn't out yet for July, but they sure have some pretty pictures to paint in June. Here's the June schedule just to get an idea:

I asked about the techinique and you do actually draw it yourself & paint the picture. DD showed me a couple of pictures that her "non-painting" friends did & they were really very good!
