I recently attended a sip and paint with a friend at Wonderstruck Art Studio. We painted Baby Yoda - it was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon - we laughed at our lack of artistic ability, we shared a bottle of wine, and I produced a really cute painting that I’m going to show off in my office.
The next day my daughter had a paint party with her Girl Scout troop - she had a blast too.
So it got me thinking about all of the great places in the Valley where we can create our own art. Here are the top five places to create art in Youngstown:
