To my pleasant surprise several rows of tables were laid out with works of art, the creations of children and young adults - I was walking in during a break in a regularly scheduled art class. At the back I placed my order. It was obvious from how carefully my picture was handled that I would be quite happy with the finished work. As I waited, I noticed another room at the back for other activities. And one of the owners was helping a customer organize an event. Yes, I was very happy with the framing and I will certainly return to this hive of creative activity in the near future.

Bay Ridge Art Space is an art gallery AND classroom taught by highly acclaimed artists, Alonsa and…read moreJames. I attended an acrylic painting class where we made a painting inspired by Van Gogh. During the three-hour course, Alonsa and James taught us how to paint Van Gogh style from start to finish. Though three hours may seem like a long time, the time really flew by as we painted. I was happy with my finished painting (which is hanging on the wall in a place of honor at my place). The price point is competitive for the level of expertise that Alonsa and James provide. Alonsa and James make the class special. You can easily tell they enjoy teaching the class and sharing their knowledge of art and art history. Their personalities complement each other and make the class fun. The studio/gallery - The space also serves as a work studio so you can see works-in-progress by Alonsa and James. Additionally the space is a gallery of work from local artists. Several pieces depicted the local landscape of Bay Ridge (the Verrazano, the bay, etc.), which I thought was pretty cool. In my opinion, the class is for those who have a genuine interest in painting and seeing how artists work. Alonsa and James will make it fun for you. Seriously, go see for yourself!

Classes are limited to just a few students which gives a teacher an opportunity to spend time with each person individually. Classes include drawing, sculpture, sewing, and other activities giving children hands-on experience of the craft, along with self-esteem attitude in learning and achieving something new in their young lives. The teacher and her assistants put great effort into each class preparation and guide children with love and patience thru their lessons.

My younger son has been going to Barking Cat since he was three, and it really is the high point of his week. He'll talk about the projects he did there all week, carry them around, take them to bed within. And I can see that she has a similar effect on other kids there. Barking Cat is an undiscovered gem. There are classes for a range of ages and the prices are quite reasonable. If you live in Windsor Terrace or Kensington and have a small child with any interest in art (or even one who doesn't seem to) you should look into it. It seems like attendance has dropped off a bit after the pandemic, which is a shame. Kids are missing out on the best art experience of their childhoods.

She also provided tips on how to paint better if you weren't a pro at it - which I certainly was not. She has a number of different ceramics to pick from and took great photos of the group with her DSLR as well. Most importantly, you can bring beer/alcohol and drink while you paint - listening to music of your choice!
