If you are reading this, you have to get on Mel’s class schedule! I took a four-part clay-modeling course at Spirit Hound Distillers and enjoyed every minute of it. Mel explains each part of the art process with professionalism but fun, and I really admire how she runs her business. These are great to attend solo, with a friend, or on a date.

Loved the beginner drawing and painting classes so much! This is true art instruction and not a paint and sip. The instructor, Mel is so knowledgeable and I feel like I walked away with new skills, including color mixing! (So fun). Highly recommend her classes for any adult looking to develop their art skills and have a relaxing and fun time doing it!

Drawing, sketching, and being creative is such a soul-unleashing experience. I believe everyone has the right to enjoy such a wonderful thing. The lighting was chill and relaxing, the instructor Melanie was quite friendly and brought the perfect amount of energy for someone teaching their passion. The music was on point with the whole atmosphere which was calm, inviting, and truly freeing. Take a class here! Take ten! Fund the arts and set your inner child free, one curve, line, and stroke at a time!!!

We had such a fun night with Mel at the Douglas County Library in Lone Tree. We are a young couple and this has been one of our favorite date nights to date. We enjoyed doing the paint by numbers activity and the event was well organized. We look forward to participating in the future.

We did an event with Douglas County Library and it was fantastic! Mel's experience as a teacher really shines through and the whole experience was very organized (super important for resin work!)! It was so fun and we will definitely be looking for other classes to take with her team!

"I'm beyond happy with how my painting of Marley turned out. I want to paint her again! Melanie was helpful, knowledgeable, kind, patient and fun to paint with! It was easier and more fun than I thought it would be. Had a beer while I painted and enjoyed talking to others about who they were painting. Such a fun night!"

Jordan D.
So much fun! Our teachers were patient and creative-- guiding us to create a fun cutting board with epoxy! I highly recommended classes with Denver Art Days!

"Had an awesome time at the ornament painting event! Loved all the supplies available and templates/stencils as well. Would highly recommend signing up for a class!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Denver Art Days! Their workshops are fun and engaging, but the thing that truly separates their workshops from the herd; is the time, energy, and thoughtfulness that each workshop is approached with. Mel takes the time to personalize each and every class based on the individual needs of the participating students. This cultivates a truly unique educational experience that provides patrons with new skills and handmade keepsakes that they can be extremely proud of! Denver Art Days is a national treasure!"

Chris T.
"Laid back and fun art class. It was a nice mixture of learning watercolor techniques and socializing. I'll definitely take another class."

Paul B.
"This is an awesome way to casually meet new people or catch up with friends while also learning a new skill and practicing a meditative craft that results in an awesome keepsake."

Cass H.
"This was an amazing event truly designed for anyone to participate in! Great project, great atmosphere, and amazing teacher!"
