A new Painting with a Twist location held its grand opening Monday in the Edgewood Retail District, at 1230 Caroline St., according to a news release.

It offers BYOB classes led by local artists, where the paint, brushes and materials are provided by the studio.

The franchise studio is owned by Georgia State University alumnus Bianca Barnett and her parents, Michael and Billie Williams. The family opened their first location in Panama City, Florida, four years ago.
