InterArt

It was an OK experience, but ultimately a waste of money. I had a groupon for a pumpkin-​carving class, and the class was nothing that was described on the website.
First, the class started 40 minutes late.
Second, the website description explicitly said that we would be shown techniques for carving the outside of the pumpkin, and would definitely not be scooping out the insides. When I arrived with the pumpkin I had purchased at Wal Mart, they gave us pretty cheap carving tools that I could have bought myself at Michael’s. There was zero instruction… zero. The instructor was barely there.
Pretty much the whole class agreed that it was nice to gather with people we would have never had the chance to meet otherwise, but was not worth the money (and it was only 20 bucks). I would definitely not take this or any other class from InterArt unless it were absolutely free.

We had a great time during our painting class through InterArt. I’m pretty sure everyone there had a groupon/​living social coupon which is how they found out about it.
I was a bit apprehensive at first since the communication with the man who runs the business is kind of flaky as far as getting back with me/​confirming dates/​remembering whether or not he had gotten back with me/​last minute change of location… etc.
Also, we were unable to find any solid information on their website as far as what to expect. We were under the impression it would be a class, step by step, which it wasn’t at all. Everyone was to find their own inspiration and create a painting with it, which turned out surprisingly well. As far as instruction, there was none. Everyone was drinking wine and having a good time, which helped our inner artists come out and brave the gallery.
The man instructing the class brought a keyboard to play music which was a great added touch. I feel that with the amount of people (25+) attending, things would have run smoother with someone helping him out.
With all of this said, it didn’t hinder us from having a great experience. I think everyone there had a good time. They just maybe need to get a bit more organized as a professional business and they have something going.
