We decided to try Color Café for a fun pottery painting outing. It was me, my two daughters, my…read moregranddaughter, and me, and we were looking forward to spending some creative time together. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out to be a great experience. * No blank pottery to paint - Everything available already had printed designs on it. We were hoping to paint our own plates, cups, or bowls, but there were no plain pieces available. * Very limited selection - The inventory felt small. We were told a party of 20 was coming in, and it seemed like the blank items might have been saved for them. * Unhelpful service - When we asked about options, the staff didn't seem very helpful or friendly. * Pricing - There's a $10 studio fee per painter, and many of the stamped platters were around $42 more, which felt expensive for items that were already pre-designed. Since there was nothing blank to paint, we ended up leaving without doing the activity. We were hoping to try something different from Color Me Mine, but unfortunately this visit didn't work out for us. We're going to Color Me Mine.

Every class I have taken has been extremely well priced for the value received.

The instructor was knowledgeable and patient which is kind of what you want around fire hot enough to bend metal. The process takes speed, strength, and precision. All crafts highlight a body, mind, spirit, locus in our human experience. You have to summon a portion of courage to stand next to a forge and grab red hot metal. In other words, it's a great way to practice badassery. Look at my knife(letter opener)!

We have signed her up for different art class/ studio lessons but they all seemed to fit into more of a "follow what we are showing you to do" type lesson. I saw E treat this art like work compared to something she was passionate about. After doing some solid research we found Heart4Art and have been SOo soo pleased with Sharon and the studio. Sharon lets the children decide what they'd like to do and in a very supportive and positive way, she'll guide them on techniques they may want to try. We feel very blessed to have found Heart4Art.

She loves going in, getting her things together and starting to make something. She loves that she has freedom to express and create... with some guidance and feedback but also enough room for her work to be HER work vs a cookie cutter composition that looks exactly like some other artist. She gets to see and play with art the way she wants to, AND I love bringing pieces home and hanging them on the wall. (Talk about a self-esteem booster for her!) I love that Cara and her team bring real art concepts to the kids in a way that they understand and relate to. I highly recommend The Arterie to anyone who is looking to support their child's artistic expression. It's sooooo important... And as an artist myself, I just love creating a love for arts with kids without judgement or assessment.
