Two Places You Can Take Creative Classes At In Athens

If you are interested in a new activity that allows you to improve your creative skills, these are two art studios that you should visit in Athens! 

Both offer workshops and classes throughout the week that you can take advantage of.

ARTini’s Art Lounge 

Address: 337 Prince Avenue, Athens, GA 30601 

ARTini’s Art Lounge is a fantastic place to sit back, grab a glass of wine (if you are over 21) and paint a canvas with step-by-step instructions. 

Not only are there various canvas designs you can choose from but you can also paint wood signs with stencils or make your own pottery design. 

The art lounge offers private parties for adults or kids along with regular workshops that you can sign up for. 

If you decide you want to paint from home and skip the hassle of finding transportation to the lounge, there is another option made just for you – the Paint Party Pack!

Regardless if you are going to a workshop in the lounge or taking home the party pack, you don’t need to worry about supplies since they will be provided for you.

Paint Party Packs are $99 and can bring the joy of painting to five individuals. 

These packs can provide hours of fun since they include five canvases, five sets of brushes, five logo cups, paint, written-out instructions and a shirt with the ARTini logo. 

Every summer there is also an art camp hosted by ARTini’s Art Lounge!

The camp is three weeks long in June and July. You can choose to do the entire week for $210 or do $45 per day.

Board & Brush Creative Studio 

Address: 8851 Macon Hwy Suite 301, Athens, GA 30606

Found in a variety of locations, Board & Brush Creative Studio’s specialty is wooden sign painting. 

Not only do you paint the sign, you also distress, sand, and stain it! 

You can personalize your sign to say whatever you want while choosing from a variety of templates.

It is important to note that regular workshops are for those 16 and older due to the tools and stain. 

With that being said, you do not have to bring any supplies because they will all be provided for you! 

Some locations have a bar while others are “bring your own beverage (BYOB).” Athens happens to be a BYOB establishment. 

The prices vary depending on the workshop, with the lowest price seeming to be around $35. 

For regular classes, the pick your own project workshop is $73 and the UGA licensed designs are an additional $15.  

You must pick your project beforehand so Board & Brush Creative Studio can prepare your materials based on your project. 

The studio also offers to host parties!

Though most workshops are for those 16 and older, you can host a kids party that consists of one to one and a half hours of painting, stenciling and more.
