Unique activity for you to do in Portland Maine 🍶

This studio is perfect for artists of any skill level and offers 8 week long classes! You can also shop here for supplies or visit during their open studio hours while you’re enrolled in a class to practice the skills you’re learning!

The Paint Bar in Portland!! I personally don’t drink alcohol but they have nonalcoholic drinks and you get to paint + chitchat. Also the store Terrarium is amazing! It’s a workshop to make terrariums (you pick the plants, jar/glass, little statues, etc) and you get to eat snacks while you make it :))

When I went to ask questions about the difference classes they had I wasn’t welcome well by the front desk and I genuinely was excited about tapping into my lost creativity side. It seemed like the front desk didn’t want be to be there. I hope no one gets the same unwelcome treatment as I did.
