This school is a class act…read more I learned more here in a year than they taught my friend with a "Masters" degree in art from her fancy pants art college (diploma mill) she was at for several years. Post graduation (and six figure student load debt) she still can't draw hands. But this place had me off and running in the first two weeks. The teachers were divine. Especially Tim. Not just as artists who truly believed in the methods they learned here and taught, but as human beings who appeared to take individual interest in every student, young or old. Years later, I still look back on these classes with fondness and am considering taking them again along with a new friend who wants to learn basic drawing skills, and maybe even progress to painting. If you stick with the curriculum, you will learn. Practice, and you might be shocked at how quickly you progress. Our class was a short walk from a coffee shop, and quickly became a little group who all looked forward to every class. I miss that enough I am thinking of going back. I felt like I was "getting" the material taught here after about two weeks, but I recommend the Free Class to see if it's for you, and if you like it, at least 4 weeks after that to really have a feel for it. At least that's what it took for me. But after that, I was all in. Like any skill worth having, it takes patience and practice over time. But it's totally worth it! People who can manage to respect class schedules, practice self-discipline and are eager to learn will enjoy this stimulating environment, the teaching methods, the skilled staff, and most likely take joy in their progress over time. Maybe even make new friends here. Maybe even fall in love with it. But entitled parents or choosing beggars who want refunds on FREE classes will probably not enjoy the full benefits or learning experience as they appear to have difficulty getting along with just about everyone based their other reviews. Consider the source before you let it dampen your own enthusiasm for the chance to take pride in your art or that of your child.

We have worked with Ms. Bryce and under her marvelous instruction my child is now painting masterpieces in advanced oils. My child enjoys the supportive instruction and the ability to chat with new friends who share a common interest in art. The studio is flexible in offering make up classes and different days and times to fit into my child's schedule. The individual attention my kid gets really helps her improve her skills and knowledge. It's always been rewarding to see my child progress from basic drawings to watercolors and now oils. My child attended the art camp for two summers and she loved it. The students always have fun at the art show at the end of class. My child is very proud of her art work, and I am so happy that we found Mission Renaissance!

We loved the experience so much that my husband and I decided to start taking classes too--and it's been one of the best decisions we've made. I definitely did not come into the classes feeling like an artist but have gained confidence and skills. One of the things that stands out most is the incredible team of teachers. We've worked with several of them, and every single one is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and talented at making art accessible for any level. Whether teaching kids or adults, they have a unique ability to meet you where you are and help you grow. As a family, we've explored so many different mediums--colored pencils, oil pastels, watercolors, acrylics--and we're excited to be starting oil painting soon. It's been amazing to not only try new techniques but to see real improvement in our skills over time. Sara, the studio owner, has been especially wonderful. She's incredibly generous with her time and has worked closely with us as adults to create a personalized plan aligned with our goal of making artwork for our home. That level of care and attention is truly special. Another highlight is the art shows they host, which give students the chance to showcase their work. It's such a fun and encouraging environment where you can meet other artists and celebrate everyone's creativity. We feel so lucky to have found this studio. It's become a meaningful part of our family life, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore or grow their artistic side!

They came to our house for my twins 5th birthday and helped us do a farmers market themed arts & crafts party. They had such cute, original ideas and somehow managed to keep a room full of excited 5 year olds engaged and happy the whole time. The setup was beautiful, everything was organized, and the projects turned out so cute. We had 36 little kids painting in my living room (with white walls) and there was absolutely no mess afterwards. What impressed me most was how much they cared. They weren't phoning it in for "just another party." They even came dressed in theme, which just blew me away. They were hands-on, warm, and clearly wanted it to be amazing for my girls. And it was. I'd book them again in a heartbeat.

Not only does she have an incredible eye for design, but she has the kindest demeanor. Her creative intuition and passion for what she does always brings new and unexpected classes, details and inspiration. Most recently, Piece Art Studio hosted a decoden party for my 9 year old and we all had a blast! Yoorie and her staff took care of all of the planning and brought so many thoughtful, personal ideas (outdid my Pinterest board and saved reels for sure). From the initial inquiry through cleanup on party day, Yoorie was quick to answer any questions, anticipate needs of all the guests, and made the party FUN. No stress whatsoever on my end. She even started an impromptu dance party and game when the kids were getting a little restless at the end. Twinkle lights and great music and we all floated out in the best mood. They are also connected to some great vendors and brought in a lip gloss charm bar that DELIGHTED these kiddos. Me too. I highly recommend Piece Art Studio for parties, workshops, camps and whenever you want to feel inspired!

I am heartbroken by my experience with Tova's Pottery Party…read more My 18-year-old mini-Maltese passed away last year, and one of my most treasured keepsakes was a clay paw print made before his passing. Looking for someone to apply a protective coating, my boyfriend and I contacted Tova after seeing positive Yelp reviews. Although I was unsure about the clay's composition, Tova assured me she could handle it using a low-heat process. When I dropped it off, I explained how important this memorial was to me. Tova was kind and promised to take good care of it. However, when we followed up a week later, she informed us that the paw print had melted and broken into three pieces. When I finally reached her by phone, she claimed I had asked her to "fire" the piece, which I never did, and suggested the paw print might not even be made of clay. After I confirmed with the original company that it was clay, she told me to take the issue up with them. I only wanted to understand what happened. What hurt most was her response afterward. She asked me to bring my dog back to make another paw print, apparently forgetting that Bubu had passed away. She became defensive, dismissed my concerns, and ended the call abruptly. Fearing the damaged paw print might be discarded, I arranged to pick it up immediately. Instead of meeting us, she left the melted remains on her porch for my boyfriend to collect. There was no apology, refund, or acknowledgment of the significance of what had been lost. Tova was rude and irresponsible, which is totally unacceptable. If Tova lacked the expertise to work with the piece, I wish she had been honest from the beginning rather than risking something irreplaceable. Because of this experience, a precious memorial of my beloved dog is gone forever. I am sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision before trusting this business with sentimental or irreplaceable items.

We know we wanted to do some kind of art party but wanted to be unique. We found that at Art Rebel for a glow in the dark art party. Ponti, the owner, made this birthday so special for our 6 year old and all her friends. From the beginning he was so easy to work with and very communicative. Ponti has kids birthday parties down to a science with different activities planned out that all the kids loved! Him and his team handled it all while we got to relax and chat with other parents. On top of that, we didn't have to worry about goodie bags because all the kids went home with a couple pieces of glow in the dark art that they made. There was a separate, and massive, room for food and drinks so when cake cutting came around it was so easy. Also he made setting up and packing up so easy. If you're looking for something different and special for your kid's birthday, I can't highly recommend Art Rebel Studio enough!

He collaborated with me in regards to the colors that I needed and also some different styles. He has a amazing inventory of iconic art that I would urge anyone to ask him to see for purchase. Also, upon commission like I did with him for a show any Set Decorator or designer or person that loves art would love him. This particular character was Terrence Howard, who was a hip-hop Mogul in the story so the hip-hop vibe that is very much alive in pontia work was perfect. I can't say enough about his business Art Rebel because it is from adult fun to kids but extremely unique compared to a typical art business for corporations or birthday parties as it has an edge to it and is very hip and unique in the style that they present to the customer in Art Rebel! So much fun and you forget about your problems and very healing for me.
