Pinspiration
Pinspiration is a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Arts and Crafts Studio/Wine Bar in locations currently in Arizona and Georgia (more to be announced). The studio removes DIY's common barriers to creativity and make it easy for every member of the community to unleash their inner artist and “try DIY." Pinspiration makes use of Pinterest as a tool to select the most popular arts and crafts projects. Customers create crafts in studio using pre-assembled project kits and they follow iPad tutorials. They work at their own pace and can do different types of projects at the same table. Projects change to reflect trends and customer input so the experience remains curated and varied. Pinspiration's hip studio offers both open-ended and tutorial-let art experiences in a supportive, playful venue. Customers have access to a variety of high-quality art supplies and tools. Customers can create their own idea on the spot or they can choose from an array of ever-changing monthly project menus based on the most popular "pinned" social media projects and current craft trends. Pinspiration was also designed for planning truly memorable and entertaining events. The venue includes a VIP party room, a full-service beer/wine bar, a crafting/project room and Arizona's first splatter room, inspired by Jackson Pollock, allowing children and adults to throw paint and capture amazing pictures. From Girls Night Out, Date Nights, Special Events, Team Building and Birthday parties, Pinspiration takes crafting parties to the next level.
