Last night was by friend, N's, bachelorette party! N. lived with me in college so it was nice to see her and catch up. Her maid-of-honor found this really cool painting bar for us to go to where they walk through step by step to make a painting or they have mini-paintings where you get a little canvas and can paint whatever you want. Now, I am not much of a painter, as I haven't probably painted this way since elementary school, so I was a little nervous about painting. They really do walk you through the process and come around to you at each step of the way to make sure you go home with a painting you like. (Though, I do know there is lots of room for improvement on my painting). It was fun, relaxing, and pretty easy to follow along. I even managed to not get paint on my dress clothes. Yay for smocks!
Here's the website so you can check it out: http://www.splashmilwaukee.com/about
I would recommend it, even if (like me) you are not a painter! The cool thing was how every single painting in the place was different, even though we were all working off the same idea.
I know, not related to books at all. However you could pick to go to a night that matched a story you were reading.
Here are some pictures from the process:
