We are extremely happy with Alena's Art Studio. Our daughter started her classes back in 2016 and…read morenever missed a class till she was off for college. Now it's our younger kid who continues the family tradition og learning art there. Kids just love this terrific place where creativity is in full bloom. They learn different technique, work with all kinds of material. I am happy that teachers are kind and patient and very supportiv. Kids really feel free in their artistic expression yet the works they bring home are of a great quality. We highly recommend Alena's Art Studio to anyone who likes art and who wants to learn to enjoy creating it as well.

You can also create a private workshop with family/friends if you want so share the experience with people you know. The space is open, inviting and super clean for a pottery studio!

This is not just a paint your pottery type of studio, it's the real deal where you learn how to make ceramic pottery/art from scratch! I love this place.

Review is for the summer camp experience…read more The classes are advertised like the children will make pottery and learn how to paint scenes or animals (similar to bigger paint studies that do the step by step instructions). However, they didn't do that. Instead they used clay to make something, that was never in a kiln so it comes home wet and soft. In regards to the painting, most of the paintings had glitter or wet paint. Leaving tons of glitter in my car and in my house. The paint getting on my clothes as I try to help my child collect all her artwork for the day (did ruin my shirt). Also, my child was sent home with what looked like blue "glob" that immediately made anyone's hands turn blue when they touched it. Also, my child left there everyday with paint on herself. They need to incorporate a cleanup before pickup to remedy this and put all items away. We would immediately go home and have my child wash up. As a full-time working Mom whose children have been in daycares, Kidcreate Studio would benefit from incorporating some of the day to day of daycare (cubbies for children's items (lunchboxes/water bottles for easy grab and pick-up/drop off), 15 min at the end of each day for cleanup and washing up, anything not fully dried stays over night and can be picked up later, etc.) Therefore, I find this summer camp overpriced for what you receive and will not be returning or recommending to friends and family.

Curators and employees are friendly and knowledgeable, and the caliber of artist is exceptional (no bias here, really). All the pieces on show are for sale, and the gallery also has a little gift area selling smaller pieces like stationery, jewelry, and pottery. Husband and I picked up a miniature ceramic vase for a steal. ArtSpace is a bit isolated and remotely located near "Old Town" Herndon, but it's worth seeking out.

We arrived 30 minutes before class was scheduled to start and were immediately greeted and shown our seats, where we can pick up our aprons, where we can hang our jackets, and the bar area. Note that patrons have the option to order directly from the bar or from their seat; there is a QR code on everyone's easel that directs patrons to the menu to order. I thought the class was run pretty well having only been open for a day or so. I appreciated not having to be conservative with the paint; palettes were refilled by a staff member there as needed. I know my brother really enjoyed the activity too. The instructor Matt is very talented and did a good job explaining techniques and engaging with the painters during the demo.
