Wow! If there were 6 stars, I would give them ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elīnīte and Einārs were thrilled with the painting master class — after the class they talked about the experience all evening and were already asking when they would be able to go paint again. A truly valuable and inspiring experience for the children!

A great event for a group of friends or colleagues, with an unexpectedly surprising outcome - in 3 hours, works of art were created with brushes and acrylic paints, even for those who have never painted. With the support of the teachers, we created paintings saturated with emotions and colors. Thank you very much for this opportunity and the feelings we enjoyed!

I'm glad we decided to create one painting together, it was a very unusual and positive experience. Even if you don't have any painting skills, the teacher explains things clearly and helps you through the process, so you will definitely get a beautiful painting!
