Our group of spouses and guests of attendees of a meeting had a wonderful time learning to make our wonderful New Orleans-style lunch of vegetarian and non-veg jambalaya as well as crawfish étouffée, and bananas foster for dessert! Coordinating our private class with the staff was more than pleasant, as they were always available, helpful, and communicative in the weeks leading up to and during our visit. Would definitely do it again! Thanks for a great experience!

Gloria was flexible and accommodating host, and our entire party had a fabulous time! We met in City Park, where she thoughtfully surprised us with king cake. Gloria did a wonderful job talking us through the process of choosing what we would paint, and it was a relaxing experience, even for those of us who had never painted before. Everyone appreciated choosing their own subject, as that's usually not the norm in beginner painting classes. She had everything set up and ready for us in the perfect location and it was overall just a wonderful experience. After we finished, Gloria let us take some of her own beautiful art pieces home. Everyone thought it was very unique and memorable, and I'm very glad to have stumbled across her Facebook page. This was a much different experience than any Painting with a Twist type class, and that's a good thing! Absolutely beautiful way to start the day, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to have a relaxing encounter with their artistic side.
