General FAQs
What are your hours?
We are open every day 10am to 9pm, except closed/reservation only on Tuesday . We recommend that you come to create at least an hour before closing time in order to have time for your project. If you do not finish, we can hold it for you for another visit with a $10 return fee for table (up to four pieces).

How much time should I plan to spend at the studio?
In our open studio area, you can come in any time and stay as long as you like. We do not charge for time. On average, our guests spend an hour and a half to two hours. Kids under age five will probably be finished in 45 minutes. We have had groups who spend all day with us especially when working on larger pieces or more detailed pieces. The majority of our canvas designs are 2 hours or less, with some designs up to four hours estimated time. If you are working on a project and want to go grab lunch, no problem. There are many great places in the area to walk to for great food. If you want to order food at your table in our studio, we have partnered with some restaurants who will deliver it to your table.
What if I don't finish my project in one visit?
If you do not finish a project in your visit with us, you may take it home to bring back for another visit. Your first return visit is no charge and each additional return visit for the same item is $10 per visit. Most everyone finishes their project in one visit, some need two visits, rarely are three or more visits needed for each project.
Where is the best place to park?
We have street parking available as well as a parking garage behind our building. You can enter through the back entrance if you park in the parking garage. If you are doing a quick pickup/dropoff, you can pull up to our back gate for a few minutes to come in and pickup/dropoff.
We always recommend parking in the parking garage behind the building and coming in the back entrance. It is the best bet and is covered to keep your vehicle out of the sun.
