Simply Jane Art Studio

Came here on Thursday for toddler time
My two-​year-​old and I were the only ones there that day
Then someone showed up a little while later
I am totally OK with being just the two of us I know some people enjoy socialization and it definitely varies week by week regarding toddler time
This place is really awesome lots of colors and just a really warm atmosphere
The owner was really nice and very helpful regarding anything that we may need
Great at explaining what is expected during toddler time
I will definitely be coming back and it is definitely a great idea to have your child the paint small pictures to send out as holiday gifts

This is a unique gem in south Minneapolis. We had a group of 5 or more which got us a flat rate on paint, rather than paying per person. It was semi-​busy during the day with kids/​families, but they seated us with our group in a nice back area. First, you pick the item you want to paint. I will say there are mostly juvenile selections and slightly more ‘girly’ selections.
Secondly, the staff member comes to the table to explain the rules of painting and to give you paints and brushes. They are very strict with the brushes staying wet and in clean water.
Lastly, when your item is complete, wait in line for staff to redraw in black outlines. Next get a clear coating put over the top and wait for staff blow dry item.
I would come here again, since the prices for a group of 5 or more were very reasonable, atmosphere was inspiring and staff were friendly.

I love this place! I really enjoy painting as a hobby so I was really excited when I found Simply Jane art studio. I can go in and pay my studio fee and I get to use all their paints and brushes in a fun studio atmosphere. I’ve already completed several paintings there and would definitely go back again. I think that their prices for canvases and studio time is very reasonable considering the quality of the products. I looked into renting studio space before and it was way out of my price range which makes Simply Jane just right for me. Also the staff there is always super friendly and helpful even when there is a lot going on. I know that they have adult and kids painting classes too, I haven’t been to one yet, but they seem like a lot of fun. :)

I went to my neice’s birthday party here. This is a place for kids! they have a little house with all sorts of different projects to do in it. The décor was kid friendly and very entertaining. Overall, the art projects were fun, the costumes were fun, but there really wasn’t any interest or enthusiams from the staff.

So much fun! A few girlsfriends and I found an amazon local deal for $ 10 for studio time and up to a $ 15 canvas piece. We came in on a Friday night from 6−9pm. There were about 10 other people taking a «pain the greats» class — looked fun but a little too high-​skilled for me…
You can bring your own wine and have a night to relax, be creating, and paint a cute canvas, bowl, etc.
I’ve heard of painting pottery places that turn out more professional — my canvas isn’t anything I’ll be putting on display. but what a fun way to spend a friday night with a few friends! I’m not sure I’d do the same for $ 25, but the deal was much worth it!
