Teachers are talented friendly folks who love art and want to help others in any creative endeavor. They even have a custom frame shop.

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.

Saved my life! Well, not quite that dramatic but with Yolanda's assistance, I completed a project…read morefor my DIL that was a few months overdue, one that I had lost all confidence in. 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. Michelle, the…read moreowner, has beautified the studio with her own exquisite paintings, and you can't help but admire and desire an attempt at trying them all, paintbrushes swishing madly. 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 sun…read morecomes in and hits hard in the afternoon and of course we were at the tables right in the front. It was hot and we had to ask for the air to be turned up. 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.

Sarah is a great, thorough, creative instructor, and their pieces are always something unique and different. I loved the place so much, I decided to hold a private event there, as their space is also lovely with lots of visual interest and an eclectic look.

I am excited for the summer camps/activities that are coming up, and can't wait to sign up for another evening of painting, wine, and fun!

A perfect birthday ladies night!…read more I celebrated my birthday at Rustic Brush on Monday, October 19th with a 6pm session for 13 ladies, and it was fantastic. Jennifer made coordinating easy from start to finish. Over the two weeks leading up to the event, she checked in twice with an updated list of who had confirmed and which project each person picked. As the organizer, that made it simple to follow up with stragglers and get everyone booked on time. That preparation showed on the day. Every project's materials were laid out and ready when we walked in. Most of us had never touched a power tool before, and the setup made it feel approachable instead of intimidating. Exciting, actually. What I loved most was the balance. Everyone chose their own project and worked at their own pace, while still eating, talking, and celebrating together. I brought my own food, drinks, and cake, which made it feel like a real party (not just a class). My friends raved about it, my piece is going on display in my home, and the group has already asked, "When are we coming back?" Thank you, Jennifer!

I highly recommend this studio for birthday parties and their camps. They pay close attention to the Cy Fair calendar and have camps set up for every single holiday. It was a life saver when the kids were bored over thanksgiving break. Love this place!

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.
