My daughter has been taking classes at The Arterie since the beginning of the school year. I can't…read moretell you how much she loves it! 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.

They have fostered friendships, built their confidence through sports and fun competitions, and have strong relationships with Coach Russell and this staff. The activities they enjoy are the Gaga pit, Water Wednesdays, Nerf wars, all the sports and the video game truck. We LOVE Kids in Motion so much!!

My kids have developed better study habits and have improved their grades during their time here. The staff is very caring and my kids have bonded with them. They have been academically challenged and developed a great attitude towards learning. We've also done summer camp, which the kiddos loved as well. We will be very sad to leave the warmth and security when it is time to move on to middle school. Sherri

If your wondering about the teachers, they are always helpful.All my friends attend TOLC. The best thing about TOLC is that the teachers actually check your homework, and when it is the next day, your always going to expect a 100%. :D :D :D :D :D

What a wonderful local experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and…read moreexcitement. My husband and I attended a private class where Esther guided us through making three bowls each from scratch. She patiently explained the process and worked closely with each of us to mold ours. Once our three bowls were done, we chose from a variety of glazes. Esther and her husband ensure you feel welcome, supported and most importantly, have fun! The location is in a quiet neighborhood in Thousand Oaks and love that they have clearly marked parking in front. This is a great experience if you just want to try something new, have a date night or for a girls night out. I had so much fun and can't wait to go back to try again!

Pure magic at Clay Studio -- a soulful, hands-on escape…read more I can't say enough good things about my experience at Clay Studio! From the moment I walked in, I felt both completely welcomed and quietly inspired. The space is beautiful and unpretentious, and the energy is something special, grounded, artistic, and full of heart. Esther and her husband (the dream team behind it all) are such gems. Down-to-earth, kind, and truly invested in making sure everyone learns and creates something meaningful. The class was hands-on in the best way. I got to really do the work, but with expert, patient guidance. I learned more than I ever expected to and left each session feeling so deeply revived. I actually looked forward to every class like it was a treat, and I almost cried when it ended. That's how impactful and soul-nourishing it was. I'll absolutely be signing up again. Also... bonus: Esther makes the most delicious homemade pizza. Warm, real, nourishing -- just like the entire experience. Run, don't walk. This place is a treasure. -- Tanya xo
