They were so engaged and happy the whole time. What I really loved was how the teachers made everything feel extra special. They're super fun and let the kids get creative without holding back. As an artist myself, I think every little one deserves teachers like Marina and Inessa. The only reason we haven't signed our daughter up for regular classes is because the timings clash with her schedule. Otherwise, we'd sign her up in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this place, 1000 percent

I've been wanting to try a sip and paint place and I was so excited when my friend wanted to come…read morehere for her birthday celebration! We were a party of 7, and we don't paint. If we have, it was definitely years ago LOL. It was cool that they had a small bar and drinks were a reasonable price! Our initial impression was that we were kind of anxious, considering our lack of experience, short time frame, and complexity of the painting. However, Heather (our instructor) began the session by explaining that if it's easier for us to just paint whatever we want or not paint at all, that would be fine. We weren't going to do that but having the reassurance made us feel so much more relieved! It was very easy to follow along the steps and it was actually really fun for our group! Towards the end, we did feel rushed because we were past the session and have not gotten to the last steps, but Heather was able to quickly run us through them and then when she finished, we were still free to sit for a bit to finish up the painting. The experience was very enjoyable for my first time here and even though my painting wasn't the best, I would definitely come back!

This was my first painting event, and overall it was a great experience. When I arrived, I didn't…read morerealize there was an entrance from the parking lot that served as the main/front door, so I came in through the back and waited to be seated. After a few minutes, a staff member guided us to the front to order drinks before we were seated. The painting portion was a pleasant experience, especially with Heather as the instructor. She explained each step clearly and demonstrated how to paint the picture in an easy to follow way. No prior painting experience is needed, which makes it perfect for first timers. That said, the class felt very structured, almost like being back in school with constant instructions. While I did enjoy the experience overall, I think it might feel a bit stressful as a team bonding activity. Trying to keep up with the pace while also wanting to talk with friends gave me flashbacks to college classes.

Initially I was very excited to take a 4 week pottery class because it was a hobby I have been…read morethinking about trying for a long time but my experience here has honestly dampened my interest in pursuing pottery further I'm unsure if it's typical protocol but essentially the instructor would do one tutorial and then let the class figure it out from there. He would then focus on his own pieces instead of checking on how to students were doing. The classes rarely started on time because the instructor would be eating their late lunch and would consistently forget what he taught us the previous week. Because there was poor time management, we would be working on pieces and then 15 minutes before the class would end, we would be told we have to start cleaning up so everyone would rush to finish what they were doing Because there was barely any hands on instruction, I was constantly watching online videos from other pottery instructors before class to teach myself the tips I was missing from my own instructor The studio also lacked a proper storage system, so every single week we came in, our pieces were in a different place which made it extremely difficult to find our work -- I lost a few pieces because of this The overall experience has been so disappointing and a waste of time and money - if you are serious about making pottery a hobby, I would suggest looking for a different pottery studio

I feel like I might sound like a Karen right now, but I left the place feeling dissatisfied with…read moremy experience with their candle making class 1. Cost is $63 p/person. However there are several additional and unexpected cost, a $10 or $12 fee to upgrade your container, the one included is very small. Once you upgrade to a more decent container there is a $10 fee for extra wax, $1 fee to dye your wax, $1 per dried rose buds, $1 for 5 small stones ( smaller than an ant size), and $1 for 3 small wax charms. (3 charms included in the original fee) 2. The class is advertised as one hour long, but after pouring the wax into the container you have to wait one hour for the wax to harden to add your decorations. The employee said we can leave and come back, but we opted to stay. Total time: approx 2 hrs 3. The music is not child appropriate. They were playing an Ariana Grande album with explicit lyrics, including the 34+35 song where she repeatedly sings "fuck me all night" . It was uncomfortable hearing that type of music with children around. In addition, the scent selection included: Sex on the Beach. Which i didn't like when my child asked innocently "i wonder what sex smells like." 4. There was a daycare or maybe a summer camp and there were several kids who were horse playing and being loud . Now Im all for summer camps and i understand kids are having fun but for them to be in the same area as the candle making area made the experience a bit chaotic. The employee did ask them to quiet down, and eventually another employee moved them to another location. 5. There a large scent selection, however most of them smelled unpleasant. The employee was nice, and offered a free rose bud and a free wax charm. Overall, I would not recommend the candle making experience.

My 5 year old wanted to have an art themed birthday party. I searched around and Hidden Talent got…read moregreat reviews. The staff was very nice and friendly. The studio is clean and easy to get to from our house. I had a couple of issues with the party. First, this was a group of 5 year olds and the teacher chose an art project that was super challenging. My son loved it but I think it could have been a little better chosen for the age group. Secondly, I think that there should be some sort of paper trail after I booked the party. Everything is done verbally. I wanted to pay for the upgraded package or at least thought I told the manager this but when it came time for the party we did not get the upgraded package. It was a bit confusing. Overall, it was a good experience. I would recommend this kind of birthday party to others.

As parents, we'd always been impressed with her creativity, but now the world was giving us feedback reinforcing that it wasn't just silly parental pride. What to do? Somehow we came upon the great answer of taking weekly Father-Daughter art classes at Hidden Talent. We've been doing it for 2 years and my daughter and I just love it! The teachers at Hidden Talent are all very caring, talented, friendly, and genuinely interested in teaching the students. We've explored a variety of mediums, techniques, and materials in our projects. We spent last fall working on the human form - something really great for a 5th grader to begin to learn. Too bad we can't post pictures in this Yelp post! If your child is showing that creative spark and you want to foster it, nurture it, and help them really grown that talent, this is a fantastic opportunity. If you sign up for the parent-child class you'll gain triple benefits: each of you will stretch your artistic legs and you'll get that special weekly bonding time you and your child will remember the rest of your lives.

Anuradha is a very young talented women. I was truly amazed by her artwork. The best part about her classes are: 1. Her fees are very reasonable for the amount of time she dedicates into her students 2. She's very flexible and helpful by all means 3. No matter how many times I must have screwed up on my side; but she is always patient and makes me re-paint till the final art work looks great At her classes, we have liberty to choose what we want to paint, but she'll make sure we learn something out of it. She keeps updating herself too by taking advance lessons regularly. Going to her, I not only found an excellent art teacher but a very good friend too..! No matter what age, Anuradha Fine Arts is for everyone who has passion for painting; may it be a debutant, an intermediate or an expert. She welcomes everyone!
