Art Studio of Connecticut

Reviewed By sioux100

A neighbor invited me to a morning class. Based on my experience at a similar venue in Blue Back Square, I was reluctant to go, but thought I'd tag along. I'm so glad I did! The facility is huge and beautifully decorated--I must find out how they created the gorgeous, shiny, silvery concrete floors. They had an easy to use coffee machine with all the bells and whistles and tea, several types of coffee, creamers and all the sugars and sugar substitutes you could want. The whole space was sparkling clean and light filled. The instructor, Sam, was out of this world. Pleasant and professional, with a very solid art and art education background, she gave each of the participants the right amount of assistance based on their skills and anxiety level. Though letting us know there was no one right way to create the painting we were making she gave us detailed, clear instructions--then let us improvise to our hearts' content and with her help if asked. I referenced my earlier experience at another studio. Not only were their facilities far inferior, the instructor gave only cursory instructions and didn't add to the group's engagement or fun. I suspect he was a high school student who had an interest in art. Sam, on the other hand, made us feel like signing up right away and continuing to paint and chat for the rest of the day. I suspect she may inspire some students to continue in independent work, since this business offers open studio hours where one can do just that, provided with materials and expert guidance. A wonderful experience, very competitively priced. I expect to spend many more happy hours at this fantastic venue and recommend it without reservation!

My friends and I are escape room junkies at this point after doing them all across Connecticut, in Montreal and Boston, so we've seen a thing or two. This escape room, "The Tomb" absolutely blew us away - the atmosphere was completely awesome and really made the experience. The room was not only extremely well decorated complete with a fog machine for an extra cool effect, the puzzles were fun to solve considering you needed to use the entire room itself to solve most of the puzzles, which is exactly something you would expect from a Mayan-themed escape room. The method of receiving clues was unique by looking at the monitor of some sort of radio device and we didn't need too many hints to complete the room. It was totally interactive and had puzzles that included every single person so not one mind was doing all the work to solve the puzzle, and everyone needed to work together to reach a conclusion. The game master we had, Eric, was an extremely funny and awesome guy who vibed really well with our group and just added on to how amazing our experience was. And for once, our group made it to the awesome colorful, shining glass board. This place is totally worth the drive from anywhere and is a fantastic escape room experience. I look forward to trying out their other rooms!

We went walking along the trail and the trees were in gorgeous color. When we went around the lake the reflections were breathtaking. Our dog enjoyed the time as well
