My almost 7-year-old has been attending this school since she was 5. Why? Because she genuinely…read moreenjoys it. She loves that she is never bored. Every week she learns something new: new styles, materials, and techniques. Sometimes they focus on painting, other times on sculpture or different forms of art. Katia and Sara have both been her teachers, and she has felt happy and supported with all of them. Like with many activities at this age, it took a couple of weeks for her to fully adjust and feel familiar with the environment but consistency made a big difference. As parents, we appreciate seeing her come home excited and proud of what she created. It is easy to notice how much she has progressed over time and we get very excited when we see her project. We also appreciate the communication style of the school. They provide a high-level overview each week of what the kids will be working on, which keeps parents informed without overwhelming us with too much information. On the administrative side, tuition payments and renewals are simple, and the staff has always been friendly and helpful whenever we have had questions or needed help resolving any mistakes on our part. We also love the location. Depending on the day and who is with me, it is easy to wait nearby at the library, a coffee shop, or a restaurant while class is in session.

And I had a great time to finish this art work with him. Highly recommend their dry clay, you can feel the different by rolling them together. Also, no wired smell and sticky texture.

My child has been learning in this studio for more than a year, and I am very lucky to meet such a…read moregood teacher, who will guide children to draw with their own ideas. There will be themed activities in every festival, such as the past Halloween, where children are asked to draw on a blank wooden box, then paint it with relevant colors, and finally decorate it with colored plasticine, which is a very novel idea. The kids love it, too. Another example is to prepare for Christmas, the teacher lets the child paint on a blank Christmas stocking, painted with the child's favorite color, to give the child an unforgettable childhood memory. As a mother, I also like this studio very much, because I can see the results of children's efforts and their willingness to learn.

The studio offers a…read morevibrant and engaging environment where children can explore a diverse range of art styles, from classic painting and drawing. What sets Happy Picasso apart is its emphasis on fun and exploration. The instructors are incredibly patient and encouraging, guiding children to express themselves freely while introducing them to new concepts and techniques. The studio's use of bright colors, whimsical themes, and playful projects ensures that every session is a joyful and enriching experience. Whether your child is a budding artist or simply enjoys getting their hands messy, Happy Picasso is an excellent place to nurture their creativity. The studio provides a safe and supportive space for children to experiment, learn, and discover the magic of art. They are also very pretty flexible with rescheduling classes. They tried everyday to accommodate our schedule for another make up class. I like that they also have a recorded class if we can't make it in person to make up a class

I'd heard great things about OKO, so I decided to take a one day stained glass workshop (the "daisy…read moresuncatcher class"), and had the most incredible time! I knew absolutely nothing going in, but Angie was an incredible instructor and took time with each of us to answer questions and help us with the techniques. I've never been very artistic, but this class actually felt approachable and fun even at my skill level, and I can see it being even more rewarding once you gained more experience. Definitely a good intro to a unique form of art, and you get to bring home something cool that you made yourself in just a few hours! I took the class alone, but it would be a great date activity or with friends! There are a ton of cute restaurants and cafes nearby to make a day of it! So glad I took this class!

Tori was the instructor and my daughter really liked her. The only challenge with camp was that the hours were 9am - 12 pm, which was challenging for a 2 working parent family like ours.

Separately, we took a parent/child pottery wheel workshop at Speckle Studio today - I was so glad to see this offered! I'm excited about the fact the studio offers 4 week sessions and weekend classes, and look forward to enrolling in a class soon. I am so thrilled to have a pottery studio on Cortland and hope it thrives!

He holds classes at the shop which always look well attended. He always wraps the supplies very well to protect them.

The 24/7 studio access was truly a game changer for me. I especially loved coming in late after regular studio hours and often having the whole studio to myself.
