Are you and the girls looking for a night out without actually going out? Why not take a virtual paint and sip class. Melinda Sheppard, the owner of SoSoArtsyStudios, has phenomenal affordable classes that will have you coming back week after week. SoSoArtsy Studios is located at 10333 Northfield Rd #148 Northfield, Ohio 44067. You can find directions Here. Due to COVID-19, she does not have regular business hours at this time. She is, however, open for booking private parties and offers a limited amount of small in house classes. When I logged into Zoom to start my first virtual class, I didn’t know what to expect. I had my wine in hand, waiting for my experience to be a complete mental and physical mess, but I soon found out Melinda had everything under control. If you are not an avid painter, Melinda provides paint, paint brushes, a canvas, a cup, and paper towels for only $25! We began our class with small talk and a brief overview of what we were going to do, and then the magic started. I followed her very easy to follow the detailed step by step instructions and ended up with something I can hang on my wall. She is a remarkable teacher and goes at a pace where no one is left behind. If virtual painting is not your thing, she has a Paint and Sip Hotel Getaway event coming up for only $150 a person! The ticket covers breakfast, your hotel room, and painting supplies. If you bring your supplies, it is only $125. Only ten people can participate in this event because of social distancing, so hurry and don’t miss out on the fun. The SpringHill Suites By Marriot, located in Solon, Ohio, will be the place to be on June 27th. So snag your tickets soon! Paint and drink with the fun and fantastic Melinda Sheppard. Give her a call at 330-212-0385.
