Corky

Corky was so much fun! I had never experienced the board making side of corky canvas. Personally, I would rather pay to make a board then a canvas. 3 reasons why:1. You can use stencils 2. You dab/blot paint on 3. I like the wood The drink options were okay, they had no seltzer's which I was bummed about. The bubbly on hand was great flavor, I got the peach flavor... YUM! The instructors were good, even though I had to wave them down for help. I wished they came around more often but they were attending to a party of 15+! This is a great birthday idea, be ready to spend 2.5-3 hours here to perfect your board!

What a cool crafty place!!! Im from Buffalo and was in town visiting a friend, when she reserved us spots to make a board, decorated by us with some fun sayings to hang up in our home. I've done these classes in Buffalo, and this one by far turned out to be my favorite! The instructor was so helpful with guiding us in making our work of art, it wasn't too challenging but you definitely feel accomplished once you are finished. Wine and Beer for sale, and the music selection was great, definitely got me motivated and relaxed to craft! I guess they do canvas art next door, also they do themed nights such as date night, etc. Highly recommend putting this place on your list for a fun night out! * I actually did my class at Corky Boards, who is owned by the same people as Corky Canvas , so please don't get confused. I tried to change the location after posting but it would not let me

Came in on a Wednesday and it was half price wine night (woot)! They take you step by step through the painting but you can customize every step of the way if you're ultra talented like me. (Ha!)But seriously... even if you struggle to draw a straight line with a ruler you'll turn out a decent painting. :)It was a blast and we'll definitely be back!

What an experience! I've seen these paint and drink places for many years now and never got around to doing them. I've seen many of my friends do them before and thought hell why not. Our instructor's name was Ashton and she was blast! We had a giraffe theme for the session (got it at the $25 discount vs $35). Ashton made class cool and super chill, it was nice to let the creative juices flow. At the end of the session (roughly two hours) there is a drawing and my husband was ever so luck to win at $15 gift certificate. To know whatyou're painting for the session you can sign up at the website and for every 5 sessions you have the 6th is free! Honestly painting and sipping is one of the best concepts ever and you get to leave with a little memento to remember the event! No doubt I'll be back again.

I have always wanted to try this place and had a great time doing so. I was a little nervous going into it because I do not consider myself to be very artistic but the instructor breaks the process down into a number of smaller steps and makes the experience much easier. I was very happy with my painting!For $25 that included the canvas, art supplies and 2 hours of instruction which I think is a great deal. I went in the afternoon and if you do an evening class I believe that is $35. Not to mention you can drink while painting!They play a lot of fun music while working but the music kept cutting in and out which was really annoying and for some reason they had the voicemail system set up to play the messages out loud as they were being called in which was distracting and unnecessary. Seriously, turn that feature off!The instructor had good energy and was helpful.

I loved Corky Canvas and I was seeing people do Corky Boards on Facebook so I really wanted to try it out! I'm so glad I did! I've never even stained wood before so I was nervous, but the employees are so helpful and go over each step with you and are constantly walking around and making sure that you are comfortable. They also have their own little bar area so it helps to have a glass of wine before hand to get warmed up.When you register for the class online you are able to choose from a few different designs. I really like this! It helps make the experience more personalized and you aren't just getting stuck with a design that your friend wanted. They make you stencils before hand so the hardest part of the whole process is where to put your stencil but they even come around to help you with that! Corky Boards offers a bigger board and they also do mini Mondays with a smaller and less expensive boards (20x24 vs 12x20) for you to make. I thought this was a great way to try it out and see how I liked it before I spent more money and had a pretty big board! I had a great time, they made me feel very comfortable and I can't wait to go back again!

Compared to similar businesses in town-this is #1 - why? Not only because of their great staff but their EQUIPMENT! Specifically, the brushes - they will remind you again and again and again to put them in the water and now I get why. The places that don't make it impossible to paint w any precision - and some of these places cost more! For the money, this is #1 for a solid experience!

My husband booked a "date night" painting for us for Valentine's Day and it was SO FUN! The employees were all so kind and fun. Amanada was our instructor and Ashton was our bartender and these girls were showing us a great time! We truly enjoyed our experience and will happily be back for another!

Just book it!We came here for a date on a Friday night and it was the best thing ever. Staff is wonderful, great vibe, everything is reasonably priced (bottle of wine was $24). I haven't done anything artistic in 15 years. They made it so easy and anxiety free!!Will definitely be coming again.

Cameo was our instructor and she was darling !Great flow , great instruction and funny. She made the night very enjoyable.
