My friend and I decided to take a class in sewing since it's hard to find decent clothes nowadays…read more I found Sew Houston on yelp and read the positive reviews. I reached out and got a quick reply from Yolanda. We worked out a date and project for a private class very easily. We took our class today and really enjoyed it. It was 3 of us and Yolanda had great patience with us and our different levels and confidence levels. She always assured us we would do great and was constantly checking on us in a helpful way. You can tell her passion is sewing and teaching. Glad I found this class. Can't wait to take more.

I was thrilled with results, and she'll never know I had a little help! I drove 34 miles from Pearland based solely on YELP reviews and her email responses. We shared emails over a couple of weeks, then I thought I had it! But I didn't. She got me in right away, we did some trouble shooting. Since this was a private lesson, she actually did some of the sewing for me. Top stitching on satin binding. My straight stitch sewing on satin is all over the place. I was so pleased and GRATEFUL for her help. My appt wears far above MY expectations. Her studio is just the right size to show she knows what she's doing and comfortable for a private lesson. I learned to change needle and pin size for satin binding, the technique up close (much better than YouTube), a miracle way to do ruffles, and received advice on other issues. She was very reasonable with fee. She said she learned from me! I will gladly drive 34 miles again immediately if I need help! Thanks, Yolanda.

There are many a painting classes in town, but the Crazy Canvas is something else.

BYOB, and she provides real wine glasses - they are not the cheap kind either (don't expect Riedels, obviously). And with later hours than most (last class is 7:30-10:30pm), this is a great date spot. Granted I went with my dad, we had such a fun night. With so many restaurants and even bars nearby, 6 hours flew by before we knew it. I highly recommend the Crazy Canvas with Michelle.

The owner was super nice and helpful. Her assistant is a high school girl and we weren't too impressed with her. I didn't feel like there was enough help for the amount of people we had. There were about 14 of us and we all had different types of projects. Mine had three different levels of paint and got messed up. The assistant tried to help but she ended up painting on it while it was still wet and made it worse. I was the last one to leave at 9:00 (arrived at 5:00) because the owner was trying to help me fix it. It doesn't look great at all. Maybe they should have had one more person there to assist. I felt abandoned after awhile and left to figure it out by myself. Again, the owner was super sweet and tried to help as much as she could. I wish I had known in advance that my project would take longer and need more work than the others. Maybe that could be added to the website, difficulty level??

Mr. Carson and Mrs. Carson are incredibly talented artists and wonderful teachers. It seems to me…read morethat they really understand how to engage with each student, showing patience and care while allowing personal creativity and independence. My girls (7yr and 9yr) started with a short spring break camp but asked to stay on and now love their weekly art and crochet classes. They never complain about going and never want to miss a class, which says a lot for busy kids this age! Since, their skills have improved much and I'm always impressed to see the projects they bring home. If you take a peek at the other student's work displayed, your mind will be blown. It's encouraging to see other parents entrust their extremely talented children to this school.

What a GREAT experience! The Rustic Brush is putting a new twist on the old and boring…read more"painting-and-BYOB" concept with an activity that is fun and innovative, involves you in the creative experience from start to finish, leaves you with a product you actually WANT to display in your home, and -MOST IMPORTANTLY- makes you feel like an independent-ass woman who don't need no man! For this activity, you're essentially creating a rustic art piece (choose from sign, doormat, or door hangar) with a stencil/graphic of your choosing. Prices differ depending on the the type and size of the piece of you want to do. Probably the most inviting and exciting part of this whole process is choosing your stencil/graphic... and ooooh baby, does TRB got you covered! Love-themed stencils, adventure/travel-themed stencils, religious-themed stencils, ones for pets, ones for every room in the house... you're bound to find something that calls to you! And if not, you can customize your own graphic for an extra fee. I love that TRB's website sorts everything out into categories, so it's a lot easier to spot something you like. Once you reserve your timeslot, choose your sign, size, and graphic, all you need to do is show up. A few gal-pals and I decided to do Sunday Funday at TRB's new location in Katy today and it was an AWESOME experience! We arrived with snacks 'n dranks (emphasis on the dranks) in tow, and found our materials and stencils prepared and ready for us. The staff members were great at walking us through the process and assisting us whenever we needed something. Unlike painting classes where you have to follow a guide, you can move at your own pace here; the staff will always be around if you get stuck. That said, BIG KUDOS to them for being so patient with us even though we kept scurrying off to eat and take shots in between brush strokes (we were being judged so hard by other patrons for this, haha!). After a few hours (mind you, we were a party of 5), our masterpieces were done. Each of us had signs varying in size, alignment, and colors; some of us did gradient/ombre effects; some threw glitter on it... I love how each piece came out completely original and unique! Overall, it was such a rewarding experience. In between the painting and hammering, you truly find your inner creative badass, and in the end, you get to bring home something original and 100% your own. Unlike painting classes where everyone creates the same boring picture that will probably end up collecting dust in someone's closet, this is a place I can totally see myself coming back to again and again to create unique pieces for my home. I'm already planning on bringing my hubby sometime soon so we can create something for our living room! Anyway... there you have it, folks - time to drop the painting brush and pick up the hammer!

The Artist Within is an excellent place to take your child for art instruction. Mr. Tom, the owner…read moreand main instructor, is very talented, not just at painting and drawing, but also at passing on tips and techniques to his students. Children and adults, whether they feel like they are artistically talented or not, will come away with quality, unique artwork that they created and a greater understanding of how to continue to draw and paint on their own. I have taken two of my children to The Artist Within over the years, both at the old location and new one for camps and their homeschool art class. My eldest, who has always been able to sit and draw on her own for hours, walked in when she was very young and without even knowing what the business was for said "Oh! I really like it here!" even though she usually did not like any place but home. My younger daughter who is constantly moving and very active loves it too, it helps her focus and learn. Even living an hour away, we came back for a course this last semester. Both girls came away with more confidence, technique, and several fantastic pieces of art. The new location is well suited to creative expression with a beautiful, fairy-land style garden in the back where, during longer classes or camps, the instructor allows the class to stretch their legs and minds on a short break. I highly recommend the Artist Within to anyone who wants more than the quick "paint what we're teaching" style place.
