If there were 10 stars, I'd be rating it that high!…read more I began taking classes here a few months after I started chemotherapy. I really wanted something to help me keep my mind and body busy, that wouldn't use too much energy, but gave me a calm and creative outlet. Deepti was SO helpful and kind right from the start. She gave me the flexibility I needed when I was feeling ill, and the encouragement and guidance that I needed to get started on something I had never done before- I had no prior experience. I have now been going to classes for the past year and a half, and I hope never to stop. There's always more to learn and try. Deepti is the perfect teacher in that she knows when to provide instruction and guidance, and when to let you just go at it on your own. She encourages you to fulfill your passion for what you like to paint and gives you the skills you need to do 3/4 or more of the work on your own without more instruction until you want it/ask for it. She gives tips, suggestions, advice, and helps out just at the right times when you need it or get frustrated. She's SO creative and patient! This class has meant so much to me. I can't explain just how caring of a person Deepti is. She's invested in you as a person, not just you as a student. This class really became my mental therapy and helped me get through chemo, and all the repercussions after it. It has brought me great joy and stimulated so many brain cells that I wasn't sure I still had after my chemo and while I'm still taking a chemo oral medication. Deepti has helped me find a way to be proud of what I can create and also encouraged me to try new things, learn and deepen my learning. It's the first thing I've done in a long time that really has allowed me to be creative. And I've found such a sense of pride in my work, that I've even made paintings for family and friends who've asked. I did NOT have any skill in painting prior. I've come a long way and still have much to learn and improve, but Deepti is helping me get there. If you want a place for you or your child to learn and feel like they are learning with a perfect balance of guidance, support and encouragement, then the Artcircle Studio is just the place to go!

We did the private session, so it was just us and Shubhs, and she made sure we were both comfortable to be ourselves and to maintain a positive attitude. We started off with writing positive affirmations for the painting session, and then we got to choose what we wanted to paint from the many examples she had on the wall. She was super flexible in what we wanted to paint, and even let us paint something that was not one of the examples. During the painting process, she sat with us and taught us step by step what to do to create a beautiful, and well blended painting. Throughout the whole process she was very patient and encouraging, which was so lovely as a beginner painter. She offered snacks and music changes, which made the experience even more personal.

On the day of the party, they had 5 people at our home helping with our group of 22 children, and it was such a smooth, fun, creative, under-control party. The jewelry and tie-dye kept the kids engaged, all of the workers were very helpful and organized, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
