How did the business start?
Owner Corina Vanderoef received her fine art degree but chose to do the ‘corporate’ gig as a graphic designer for big-box retailers such as Academy Sports & Outdoors and Sun & Ski Sports for many years. With long hours and stressful deadlines, she decided to start her own paint and sip business in the evenings. After opening a tiny art studio and moonlighting for a year as an art instructor, she quit her regular job and made the leap to full-time as a woman-owned small business.
Where is Art Class & Wine Glass located?
One studio is located in the Willowbrook Pavilion off of Tomball Parkway and the second is located at The Marquee on Silber Road off of Interstate-10.

Art Class & Wine Glass offers paint and pottery-painting classes, private lessons taught by Corina, and hosts BYOB painting classes and birthday and team-building parties.
How is Art Class & Wine Glass dealing with current challenges?
