We had a blast!! My mom and I went to VIP Paints for the first time in July 2019 to take the soy candle making class and got more we expected. The candle making process was easy and enjoyable. The color selection was great and there was a huge variety of scents to choose from. Furthermore, our host Delilah was informative, friendly, and easy going. The experience was great and so are the candles. When we burn the candles, the scent is amazing and the soy wax can be used as body oil! The oil is moisturizing , light weight, and makes my skin feel supple! The oil as a moisturizer is a great added bonus!! Can't wait to go back for another class!! More...

My daughter loves to draw so I figured I need to expose her to painting.I am a clean freak and I am not going to allow paint in my house so i figure I should let her have a day outside my house where she can learn how to paint using oil paint. After a bunch of research, I found this place. It's close to our house so it's definitely a plus for me.The teacher really showed how to draw a good drawing line. My daughter who is a perfectionist, was able to calm her nerve and accept the fact that nothing is ugly when you make a painting. She loved the class so much that she asked me to take her here again. I think this sums up my review More...

This place is pretty cool. I've heard and seen pictures of people going to "sip n paint" parties over the years, this appear to have become a very popular type of outing and now I see it has evolved from just painting to ceramic and candle making as well. The concept is a good one. It's a creative, thinking, using your imagination, type of environment, which I wholeheartedly support in this day n age when people are so caught up in cellphones, texting and social media. There is a disconnect in our world these days and this place allows you to connect with people and unplug and interact/talk to actual people and use your creative juices. My daughter was invited to a kiddie version of the adult paint party and it was a great time. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. They allow you to bring in your own food and beverages, which is great. My daughter had a really good time with her friends making her little masterpiece. All the kids did a great job and they were kept engaged. Their pieces came out great! I mean these 6 year old paintings looked GOOD! Not sure of the actual cost, but I heard they have Groupon deals or have had them in the past for a good price and I also overheard the birthday girl mother tell another parent it was $30-$35 a kid, so that is kind of costly if you have a really big group, but from what I usually see the groups are pretty small and in the 6-8 person/kid number at the table. Overall fun/cool spot and now I'm trying to find someone to invite me to an adult one for their party now..LOL! More...

Took my 11 year-old daughter with her friends for her birthday. All of us LOVED it! The two-hours flew by and each girl went home with a beautiful masterpiece painting on canvas. How's THAT for a party gift! This mother-daughter business should be supported - bachelorette party, girls' night out, date night, whatever! More...

My wife and I went for the first time on Valentine's Day and we had an amazing time. The staff is very friendly and made the entire process fun. There was always someone around offering assistance or giving you more paint, etc. We look forward for going back with a group of friends to share the experience with them. More...
