Kayla’s Creative Art Studio Re-launches and Will Now Offer a Wide Range of Crafting Classes and Special Events for All Ages

Join us on March 19th from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. for a 
Grand Reopening Party and Help us Celebrate National Craft Month

Berkeley Heights, New Jersey (February 23, 2016) – Just in time for National Craft Month (March), Kayla’s Creative Art Studio in Berkeley Heights, N.J. is re-launching as a one-stop-shop and destination studio for creatives and crafters of all types. Kayla’s will still offer paint and sip events for the public as well as private parties, but the team is excited to 
introduce a wide range of crafting classes and special events aimed to teach new techniques and designed to inspire creativity and fun for all ages. Kayla’s will now offer one-of-a-kind classes such as jewelry-making, hand-painted boxes, origami, knitting, photography lessons and floral arranging, led by industry experts and well-known artists. 

And as part of the re-launch, Kayla’s is hosting a free grand reopening party on March 19th from 11:00 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Berkeley Heights location, 629 Springfield Avenue. During the event, attendees are invited to take part in a variety of activities from painting projects to knitting and will have the opportunity to take home a special handmade gift.  

Since community is a major part of the studio’s mission, the team at Kayla’s is partnering with Family Promise of Union County http://familypromiseuc.org to help support local homeless families and is asking that all who attend the grand reopening event bring full size children toiletry items such as tooth brushes, tooth paste, baby lotion, shampoo, etc. Since children represent 65% of the people they serve, it is imperative that we help give back. Family Promise is also in need of new (not used) pillows and blankets. 

“The team at Kayla’s is excited to partner with Family Promise of Union County and happy to invite the community to make a difference and take part in our grand reopening event,” said Sheri Levine-Shea, Founder and Owner, Kayla’s Creative Art Studio.  “I founded the 
studio based on my love for art, but more importantly, my daughter has inspired me to see things differently about life, passion and balance and that ultimately gave me the motivation to open Kayla’s Creative Art Studio. It is exciting to re-launch Kayla’s Creative Art Studio as a warm and inviting place for everyone in our community and beyond to visit.  We want to encourage people of all ages to create something unique and spend time with loved ones while escaping from the stresses of everyday life.”

Celebrate National Craft Month (March) by exploring Kayla’s new classes such as knitting, jewelry making, origami and much more.  Please see our calendar for details. If you are crafty and want to share your passion with others, Kayla’s is always looking for new 
instructors, contact: info@kaylascreativeartstudio.com.

About Kayla’s Creative Art Studio:

What Makes Kayla’s Creative Art Studio in Berkeley Heights Unique?

As we approach our one year anniversary, we took some time to reflect on what we accomplished at Kayla’s Creative Art Studio over the last year.   When my husband and I developed the plan for Kayla’s, our main objective was to provide a unique five star paint and sip experience to the community in a relaxed upscale atmosphere.  We wanted each and every customer to walk away with an exceptional experience and above all, in a better mood than when they came to Kayla’s.  I tell all art instructors I hire that if they do not have fun teaching at Kayla’s, then this job is not for them.   At the end of the day, Kayla’s is a place for people to unwind, forget about a difficult day,  and have fun with friends or new friends they meet at Kayla’s.   Thanks to repeat customers and feedback we received from them, we have accomplished these goals, although there is always room for improvement.   The first year was not without its challenges, but we take feedback to heart and continue to improve the experience we provide to our customers.

It is was also a very important objective of ours to support the community and those less fortunate than us.   We held many fundraisers for different causes over the last year and will continue to do so in the future.  Giving back is a core value at Kayla’s.

What makes Kayla’s unique is not only the warm and inviting atmosphere at the studio, but the quality of service we provide.   We go out of our way to accommodate our customers, including flexibility with time and providing additional assistance to those who need it.   We even provide complementary coffee, tea and bottled water.   We are not just another Paint and Sip art studio.

In celebration of our anniversary, we invite everyone of all ages to paint at Kayla’s on June 6th.  We will be offering special mini painting classes for $10 a  person starting at 12:00 p.m.    Links to register are below.

We will also be painting a butterfly mural for Operation Bling (donation is optional). Operation Bling’s mission is to give jewelry to cancer patines during their hospital stay to brighten their day.  The mural will be displayed at St. Barnabas in Livingston and St. Clare's in Denville.

We will be at the studio all day on June 6th (10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.), so if you do not have time to paint with us, please stop by to say hello and if you like, paint a butterfly for Operation Bling.

We hope you will come paint, sip and inspire at Kayla’s.  Contact us with any questions or call us if you would like to book your own painting party! (908) 516-2670 or info@kaylascreativeartstudio.com  


Sunflowers  12:00 p.m. - 12:45p.m.


Hearts 1:30 p.m. - 2:14 p.m.

Celebrate Mother's Day at Kayla's Creative Art Studio

What better way to celebrate Mother's Day than creating a painting together with your mother or child at Kayla's Creative Art Studio.    You each paint half the painting so when put together forms this beautiful picture.    Although the painting is designed for two people, if there is an odd number of people painting, then they can paint the entire picture on one canvas (16"x20").   The cost is $35 per painter and each half is a 16" x 20" canvas.
Kayla's will provide some light snacks, including complementary coffee, tea and bottled water.  However, feel free to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages.  Doors open at 11:15.  

Coupons or discount codes may not be used for this event.

Kayla's Paint and Sip Studio featured in Your AAA - In Your Backyard

http://www.youraaamagazine.com/content.cfm?a=1945#.VR1qULojk8N

In Your Backyard: Art lessons given in a very social atmosphere
By Dana Hammond
Unleashing your inner Picasso is the answer to a lot of things. The prolific painter, who also happened to be a poetic wordsmith, famously opined: “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Regardless of form, I’ve always found that to be true. But who knew it could so literally add a colorful stroke of ingenuity to your next night out? Courtesy of the burgeoning paint-and-sip trend, art studios are becoming social beehives for folks looking to unwind amid creative surroundings with a brush in one hand and a beverage in the other. By the end of a memorable evening, everybody feels relaxed, new bonds have been forged and you get to take home a self-crafted piece of art as a bonus.

“People are searching for something different to do, an alternative to dinner and a movie,” said Sheri Levine-Shea, owner of Kayla’s Creative Art Studio, one of the newest studios offering public and private paint-and-sip parties. “It’s amazing to see how art ties people together as they go through the creative process of painting. This is a place where you can focus on something artistic for a few hours and forget the real world. It’s fun and therapeutic.”

The affair unfolds exactly as billed. Participants bring their own beverages and enjoy a painting lesson while leisurely imbibing. The art studios supply all the necessary equipment, everything from easels and brushes to blank canvases and paint-blobbed palettes.

You’ll even get an apron to don. Ice buckets, corkscrews and glasses are provided along with plates and utensils, because snacks are welcome, too. At Kayla’s, the stemware sparkles and complimentary coffee, tea and bottled water are readily available as well. A chic, exposed-stone wall displays vibrant subject paintings from past classes and rows of wooden easels sit atop tables flecked with color, leaving no doubt this is a working art studio, albeit a decidedly inviting one. A mix of background music further enhances the atmosphere.

Sipping cabernet for liquid courage gets the creative juices flowing, but don’t fret about being intimidated. These step-by-step classes are designed for novices. “Almost every class contains a person who hasn’t picked up a paint brush since kindergarten,” said Levine-Shea. “Instructors walk everybody through the process. We want clients to leave here with a painting they’re proud to hang.”

Before joining a paint-and-sip party, participants review an online calendar that identifies subject paintings for various evenings. Typically the entire class recreates the same painting, which makes comparing results entertaining and enlightening. However, there are special events such as “double-canvas night,” where couples – romantic and otherwise – paint half of the same subject to form a whole, or more personalized “paint your pet night.” (Instructors trace animals on canvases from photos submitted in advance.) All classes range from two to three hours, and you don’t have to paint at night. Opt for an afternoon party and sip mimosas while creating a masterpiece. Kayla’s even provides the orange juice at those popular affairs. Plus, there are family and kid paint parties, sans alcohol. Kayla’s donates artwork that instructors make during classes to Habitat for Humanity. So, ready to uncork a little artistry? One warning: it’s an addictive pastime. Don’t be surprised if you start running out of wall space.
