Tipsy Picassos

Finally had a chance to go to this and it did not disappoint! The class (?) size was perfect and attention was given to each attendees.It was so much fun and you truly feel like an artist lol. Instructor JJ was so much fun and loved her vibes! This is a perfect outing for many occasions such as birthday, outing with your friends or coworkers and even going solo ( I went by myself and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all)I tried painting this time but I would love to try hat burning next time!Absolutely loved every bit of this experience

If you're looking for something fun to do, I can't recommend taking a class with Tipsy Picassos enough! We took the Pop Art Pets class and JJ was so helpful and hilarious. It took the stress right out of trying to paint your pet perfectly.When you sign up you provide a photo of your pet for reference, you will get a pre-sketched canvas at the beginning of class, and you'll learn all about painting pop art from there. I spent over 3 hours painting my piece and it flew by listening to great music and having a fun time!I like that Tipsy Picassos hosts all kinds of paint and sip classes at some really cool spots around town like Borderlands, The Tuxon, Yoga Pod and so many more. I also appreciate how the class types are posted month by month on Instagram so we can easily sign up ahead of time.

I paid $45 for a mosaic class. The time laying was good with lots of tile choices. Unfortunately, the instructor was not experienced or prepared to teach grouting to the class members. It is reasonable to have an expectation that the instructor has learned the project on her own before teaching it.

If you are looking for a fun and creative way to meet people, sign up for these classes! I'm new to Tucson. JJ is a pro and loves to help her 'students' create master-pieces. Even if you aren't really creative (or don't think you are) cast your fears aside. This is a no judgement zone! Excited for the next time we get to hang out again and get creative together!

I have done two of their events. One pre-pandemic, And one yesterday, October 1, 2021. A good event for friends and groups. I went with my coworkers yesterday. The staff is very energetic and are helpful with tips and tricks. They provide the paint and materials. They play music, and you can even do a little karaoke. Yesterday's event was at Voltron, a brewery, and they did not sell food so I was very disappointed. I came after work, so I was starving. They had only beer and wine for purchase. And the only water they had was tapwater. It was also really hot inside. But the event I went to previously, was at a bar where you could order drinks and food and that was really nice. My advice would just be to look at the location where they are holding the event. If I'm going to be tipsy Picasso, I need food to go with my alcohol lol

To boil this down to a point, this event is just FUN! It was during this class that I have first painted on canvas, or really had any formal instruction on painting, and JJ (the owner) made it a lot of fun and really relaxing.So this is a painting class that takes place in different bars around town. The classes themselves are between $30 and $45, depending on the material you are painting on and how difficult the painting is. The price for food and beverage are not including in this price so be prepared when you walk in. It not being included actually helps you have a better time because you are able to control the amount you get and there are no surprises at the end. This class also gives you an opportunity to try different bars and venues around town; I personally do not go down town a lot so it gives me more of an insight of where I would go if I am down there.I have now been to this class a few times and very much recommend it to someone who wants to try something new and do something they are not likely to do. Just remember the class motto, "The more you drink, the better your painting looks."

Before 2020 I used to go to a paint party like once a month. I absolutely love JJ and her paint events. Best experience!

I was pretty stressed before attending the event since the last time I painted was in high school many moons ago and I don't have an artist bone in me, but boy I had a blast! It's a fundraiser for Tucson Cold Wet Noses and I was painting my cat which was pre sketched on the canvas. JJ and Fatima went through the process step by step while blasting music and giving out shots. They walked around to give us pointers and encouragements. Other attendees were friendly (because of the booze?) and helping each other out. It's a great way to do something fun while drinking.

My mom and I took a hat burning class which was SO much fun. JJ is very fun to be around and such a vibrant person. Will definitely take more classes with her in the future. Such a great atmosphere and I definitely recommend to anyone I know. Thank you so much JJ @ Tipsy Picassos!!

Best paint party ever!!! So much fun & met some awesome people!! The instructor JJ is incredibly talented, patient & very knowledgeable about her classes!! Can't wait to keep coming to more classes!!
