They have a wide range of selections as well as already painted items so you can get some inspiration. I love that you can find items for $10 and up. This is something they have that other locations don't have. They also have some cute glazes to choose from and pieces you can take home that day which is awesome! The customer service is helpful & kind. With a crowd I've still always been able to find a seat. 10 outta 10 come check this place out! You won't Regret it!

Young at Art is relocating from Ocean Beach Ca to McKinney Texas. My son attended art classes here…read morebetween 5 and 8th grade and it was absolutely a wonderful experience. Below is a recommendation letter I wrote for the organization for a fund raising application that sums up why the residents of McKinney Texas with young children who love art should check out YOUNG AT ART CHILDREN'S CREATIVE CENTER (www.youngatartmckinney.org). Young at Art provides a very nurturing environment for artisitc experimentation and development. They provide access to various mediums and techniques that go beyond the simple art projects typically found in a children's art class. The staff at the center are very encouraging and caring and help children experiment beyond standard techniques and styles. Additionally, their philosophy and teaching practices encourage the children to participate in their commnity by hosting events that allow the children to participate in the local OB Christmas Parade and in art projets that become part of the community such as window murals and the mural at the OB Gas Station. The art school is a very special place for the students where they can feel at home and accepted, but get to make messes and create masterpieces. I believe that all children benefit from exposure to creating and experiencing art. With the reduction of art classes in public schools, outside community art schools provide an opportunity for children to experience the creativity and joy of art. Young at Art provides this opportunity to the local children of Ocean Beach and Point Loma. They offer scholarships for students who are unable to afford the cost of classes and bring together groups of children who might not otherwise interact. The staff at the school fosters caring and consideration of each child toward their classmates and encourages collaboration amoung the students. If you have a young child who would benefit from attending an art class or camp you should call and talk to Miss Kim the director! I'm sure you will be glad you did.

The place is very colorful and cheerful in spirit. The employees check in with you to guide you through everything, give you pointers, and check in if you need anything at all. I had a blast creating this painting of my precious cat, Cai! (Before and after pictured below.) I appreciate the transparent pricing structure and the ability to come back and finish your piece. It was much easier for a walk in visit than Color Me Mine in Plano, (which last I visited there you absolutely needed a reservation and they will (very kindly) push you out the door once your reserved time runs out). Getting a reservation here would still be needed with a bigger party or at more crowded times. The vibe here is very welcoming for creative spirits. Highly recommend! Five stars all around.

The great thing about this place is you not only get the cool items but also the fun experience of learning how to make them. The staff took all of the worries out of it as they helped us throughout the process so we would have a good result. I have several gift ideas lined up and there's just something incredibly satisfying about being able to present a gift and say "I made this!". There's a lot of customization options too, so you can use your own names, phrases, etc. when you plan to make some of the items that have painted, stenciled artwork on them. I'm looking forward to making a little party out of this on our next visit, and apparently we can bring our own wine and beer. This place has a cheerful atmosphere with soothing colors and everything we need was already prepared for us. No stress involved, and no clean up as well. I found this place behind The Cotton Patch on Preston Road in Frisco. It's in the little courtyard there between Cotton Patch and Genghis Grill. Plenty of parking.

I've been to a couple different painting studios and I've always had an enjoyable time and…read moreexperience. My first impression of the building and studio was that it was a bit outdated and the inside of the studio looked older and less clean compared to many of the other studios I've visited. My girlfriend and I arrived about ten minutes earlier in hopes to get settled in and find a picture to paint. I was a bit disappointed to find that the studio was closed when we arrived. The instructor arrived about 5 minutes late for the start of class so it felt rushed getting the paints and everything set up for class. The canvases that were given to us were thin so I won't be able to hang this up unless I get it framed. This class gives you the freedom to choose what you want to paint opposed to everyone working on the same painting and the instructor goes step-by-step to guide you through the painting. As I am not a very artistic person, I found it to be a bit daunting having to paint the entire painting myself without specific guidance and step-by-step instructions. The instructor was funny and kept us entertained throughout the class. My friend and I still had an enjoyable girls night out but I really wish the studio was cleaner and the canvases were thicker and of better quality.
