Jan is an AMAZING teacher!!! Not to mention a beautiful and extremely talented artist. I have been…read moreattending her Fearless Watercolor classes for years, starting as a beginner to watercolor and now consider myself a pretty strong painter because of Jan. She knows how to help guide you to really be the best artist you can be. It doesn't matter if you are new to painting or more experienced, she offers great new techniques and guidance for creating your own best work. I love that we have so many different options for subject matter from architecture, to portraits, to flowers, to landscapes and everything in between. Jan is always encouraging and provides helpful feedback to move you to the next level, wherever you begin. And as a bonus, her classes are just fun!!

I enjoyed chatting with her, she made me feel very comfortable and I love the final result. The lingerie she painted on looked very realistic.

When my turn came I asked for a kitty face! No protest or suggestions. It was an immediate yes! They use airbrush and brush combo. The outcome is more refined and long lasting kitty face for me. But easy to wash off! I didn't want to wash mine off! :( Both ladies were awesome with their customer service. Friendly and fast and oh so artistic! A fan!

Kris Waldherr's Art and Words gallery is a must-see destination in this Victorian Brooklyn nabe. I…read morevisited earlier this summer, when it was featured in the Flatbush Artists Studio Tour. Showcasing Waldherr's own graceful artwork for both children and adults, the show had the nice twist of displaying the kids' pieces at the little ones' eye level. The gallery also features the work of other artists as well, but does double-duty as the studio for Waldherr, who has an upcoming show at the end of October featuring her original art for her latest book, Doomed Queens. I'm looking forward to both the gallery show as well as the book! A cool, comfortable, cozy space for original art and a surprisingly big bathroom to boot! What's not to love?

Valerie Trent has a great design eye and is incredibly easy to work with. She carefully listened to…read moremy needs for the space, and helped come up with a beautiful and functional design achieving everything I wanted (and more). Extra impressed by her organization, quick response, and technical knowledge of project work. She knew what could be done within my price range, and where to invent in quality pieces and fabrics. She called back quickly and always had a solution to the latest problem. Ultimately, she created order for all my crazy requests! I am so thankful for having the opportunity to work with her, and recommend her as a design expert.

After trying a number of patternmakers and samplemakers with less than impressive results, I…read morestumbled across the Atelier. After my first consultation I could immediately tell that Angela and her team were more experienced than the people I had been using, and had the knowledge to turn my vision into a reality. The very first pattern and sample they built for me was nearly perfect, exponentially better than anything I had seen before. Also, simply working with Angela and understanding her process and approach has been an incredibly useful learning experience for me. I'm far more well versed in various aspects of garment manufacturing than I was when I first walked through the door. I've continued to use the Atelier for pattern work and sample work, and would highly recommend them to any designer looking for an experienced, professional and reliable service to bring your designs to life.
