The speakers drop a familiar 90s bassline and the studio hums: easels lined up, acrylics glinting, and a row of 7-inch blank bears waiting for color. You step into a light-filled room with a patio option, where instruction is hands-on and the playlist keeps the pace—part social night, part creative workshop.
