Half of the professors are in there 20s...... the other half are so old they flat out tell you they don't have any network connections for students sense they have been out of the field so long..... This is a great school if your parents make you choose from working at there company or go to college ....

My friend and I decided to go with 24 x 24 selection which gives you a 3hr class time and you have a little extra additional time if you go over. You get to select your own image - if its TOO DETAILED then he'll let you know. Currently he request the image 24hrs before the class - you'll notify you through email and text. Please note - you won't be able to take piece home until after two days but he'll reach out when its ready because he needs to put the finishing touching/sealing the rug with glue. There are a variety of colors available - you even have the option of playing your own music but we declined and asked him to put on some music which we vibe too. As of right now - the max amount of people are 6 but i think special requests for highly numbers in the future - if you don't know then just reach out. I'm already trying to see how i can get my job to approve a corporate class which he informed me that there's an option for a pop-up session. At the end of the day - DO THE THINGS; TRY SOMETHING NEW. No regrets!!! Happy crafting!

I met Bette Prudden at her studio in order to look at some of her work. Bette is an energetic,…read moreengaging, older woman, who has been working as an artist and an art instructor for over 50 years. She works in a variety of materials, and there is a fair amount of work (30+ paintings) available to see here. There were no portraits displayed when I was there, despite the fact much of her work was, and still is, as a portraitist. Be advised that this is a working studio. It's not neat, and it's not laid out like a nice gallery. And it's in a very non-descript building on a neglected section of Mack Avenue. She paints here. And holds classes here. Work happens here. The day I was at the studio, there were a couple of her students there, and they had been pupils of Ms. Prudden for years. I didn't engage in anything other than small talk with them, as I was there to look at Ms. Prudden's work with an eye towards potentially purchasing a piece, so I can't comment on the instruction part of this business. I'm assuming that if it's been happening for decades, then they must be doing something right. I'd advise calling before you get in your car and drive over - Ms. Prudden maintains a pretty active schedule, and the hours she's at the studio vary.

Because it's in the Pointes, the caliber of clothes there is pretty nice. They must weed out any schlocky stuff because it's all nice and frequently high end. In the last month I walked out of there with Franco Sarto boots for $5, multiple Ann Taylor & Banana Republic & J Crew sweaters, nice shirts & tops, you get the idea. They have some kind of 'special' every day, whether it's 50% off, buy one get one, or my favorite recently, everything for a buck. That's right, a buck. If you're not too embarrassed to shop at a resale store, come on by. Finally, the youth that work there are so nice and are really happy to help you out. So not only are you getting a bargain, you're supporting a great organization.

They worked closely with me to figure out what they could restore, and even used some of the original frames, just cleaned them up a bit. For other stuff, they took a lot of time with me to pick out the exactly right frames. I was really happy with how everything turned out. The staff here are extremely knowledgeable, I would recommend coming here for all your art needs. Also, they are expanding and I think even starting classes for kids.

But Rainy Day came to the rescue! I frantically ran in and told young Logan that I was desperate to purchase a frame and have it framed by their staff! (We all know that is an impossibility, right?! No one frames same day, right? WRONG!) Logan found a frame to compliment the piece. He took it to Jan who had me come hold it (because it was still wet) whilst she expertly framed it. She had me out of there in less than 45 minutes. I will NEVER forget their kindness, professionalism and enthusiasm as they helped me make a wish come true! I am indebted to them and am a loyal customer! Buy local, shop local, support local businesses is my motto. They have a customer for life! Deanna Hammes

Bryan is someone who won't labor to work, but he'll work tirelessly to labor out the depth and detail for which he's trying to create...in each piece...just my humble observation. None of Bryan's work ever seems "pushed" or "forced"...it's just him digging deep and expressing whatever the hell is running though his soul. Again, just my observation. Lastly, he's truly humble about his work too....which in itself, is very rare in this world. I promise, after speaking with him, you'll better understand the various ways he comes to be inspired.

When I used it to reserve my "free" session (because I was using the gift card), it would not let me complete the reservation without entering credit card information. I thought it was in case the gift card was invalid or something. Well, PWaT deducted the $40 from my bank account, and the gift card was never applied (FYI: I did type in the # and click "Apply"). It was not reversible because I came to the session (and let the instructor know). So, if you have this issue, report it to the studio right away *and the Better Business Bureau*. Just in case this becomes a bigger issue.

I was told I needed to attend class with her other last day. As my child was to difficult to instruct. My child is on the spectrum but was able to complete all 4 days of the class. As a working parent I cannot attend an art class that is supposed to have an experience child art instructor. Thiskolcamp experience turned from excitement to tears. A fun camp that should have been filled with instruction and learning ended up with frustration and disappointment. I do not recommend if you have a child that cannot do art at a fast pace. Or a child that needs some extra support because there is little to no understanding.
