I think they may have had to push me out! :D The studio is so cozy and the art work is so inspiring! I literally asked them if they have classes for adults! My kids LOVED this camp! The sneakers they made were extensions of their creativity! It was also so cool to hear the music they made and interesting that their songs matched their personalities! They even sent us the mp4s so we can save their creations! They want to come back for another summer, we can't wait!

I popped into These Hands Maker's Collective this afternoon after having driven by it countless…read moretimes but also because I was trying to find a needlepoint kit that I thought they might carry (turns out they don't). Not sure why unwind.studio lists them as a Stockist but alas, it was great to finally have a reason to check this place out. It is a maker's collective so there are various forms of art available for purchase. But, also, they have a variety of classes that I am definitely going to explore their schedule because I am interested in the Dubai Chocolate Bar class and candle making, among others. Definitely a neat space and you can get some inspiration by checking out the crafts available for sale.

Love this place!…read more Great for gifts-- handmade wares (jewelry, paper goods, art, etc) + craft kits with everything you need to create your own work of art. Lots of classes/workshops. I took the paper flower wreath class which was SO FUN. The instructor was great. Ample high quality supplies (we're talking Paper Source, not Michael's...) The space is lovely. Parking can be a little hairy, so give yourself time. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS & LOCAL ARTISTS. Spend your money here, it's worth it!

*** 40th Anniversary - Drums, Blues & Jazz Festival ***…read more Wow, I must admit that this event evoked heartwarming memories of growing up in the 'hood ... that's something that my son will not experience since we live near a beach. However, I did have a childhood in the inner city (of Detroit) so I can truly appreciate the charter of Saint Elmo Village... to be a community outreach program for urban children with artistic aspirations. They offer workshops in photo and painting for children living in the 'hood ... sweet! Needless to say, there are several lesser appealing options for idle kids so it's always nice to see community involvement. The festival this wknd was to celebrate its 40 years of operation. That's amazing when you think of it ... an artistic youth outreach program that has succeeded on its donations and volunteers. So I applaud all the organizers, participants and artists who have worked to make St Elmo possible ... commendable! *** I enjoyed the blues band that I saw today ... nice! ***

I've been bringing my son here for almost a year, he just turned 3. It's been really great for both of us. 2-5 is such a transitional time period full of all kinds of feelings. The teachers here really understand this age group and their needs. And the activities they do are so creative. Every day they are learning and creating, some days cooking. For Halloween they made their own costumes and presented a show for all the parents. They also learn letters and shapes and how to express feelings. And they always celebrate the kids birthdays. I have seen my son really blossom in this class. Most mornings he pops out of bed and names the teachers and some of his classmates, excited to go hang with everyone. It also has been wonderful for me to get a little time for myself. It's just the right amount of time, for me anyway. Can't recommend this place enough!

I have been going to her for over 10 years and the level of respect I have for her is unmatched. She not only is an amazing human being, but she is an amazing artist herself who teaches you the fundamentals of drawing, painting, and beyond. I have made masterpieces with her and she guides you through it all! She puts her students first and makes sure they succeed in every single way. It is a privilege to be one of Rama's long standing students. I have also been able to help her grow her business and she is such a pleasure to work with. Her energy, her calming presence, and love for her job makes painting so enjoyable. I am so ever grateful for Rama and her work! I only want to see Rama succeed and grow her business even more.

I was introduced to this place when a friend had their bday party here and I'm so grateful that they did. PG offers a variety of workshops.

My recommendation if you do one of their 2hr workshops is to go in with a plan and design for what you want to make. You would be surprised by how quickly 2 hours goes. Use your time wisely.
