She was so proud of herself at the masterpiece she created that she beams every time someone comes over and looks at it hanging on our living room wall. Orit has a special way of connecting with children. She made my daughter feel like a star especially since she has been going through a hard time. I would highly recommend you bring your children here. There are a lot of art places around but what differentiates this one is how amazing Orit is with the kids. I did a paint night here too and it really helped me relax. Better then yoga or meditation!

I learned so much about mixing colors it was great! I highly recommend this studio, due to the owners knowledge of color theory and her teaching skills. Little did I know that she is actually a full time art teacher in schools. Can't wait to go back and do another class with a bunch of my friends next time, A++!!

I attended a vision board session at Johnny Utah's in NYC on March 10. I'm not the…read moremost-artsy-talented guy in the world, and instructor Deb immediately made me feel comfortable. She gave great advice such as focusing on one main theme and leaving very little white space. The great thing about Deb is that she deftly guided the newbies/amateurs such as me as well as the more-skilled members of our group. After about 15 minutes I lost myself in the project, totally absorbed. One of the cool things about the experience is that it was very social. I felt like I really got to know something about the lives of the people at my table who were creating their own vision boards. The whole thing was cool; I made my first vision board, and bought a couple of drinks and some food, as well. I would definitely recommend these classes, and will likely attend again.

We booked Painting party with Stelnik Art to help celebrate my sister bachelorette party and it was…read moresuch a wonderful experience. Our instructor Paul was warm, engaging, and so kind! Debra also suggested a wonderful brunch location for us at The Penrose and we had the most delicious meal and drinks before painting. Our paintings turned out wonderful and we had the best time doing them! Everyone couldn't stop saying how much fun they had. Memories to last a lifetime thank you to this wonderful small business that we look forward to supporting again!! Thank you Debra for making our celebration so so special :)

I found Little Shop of Crafts while searching for a fun spot for my niece's sixth birthday, and it…read morewas a total hit! What really sealed the deal for me was the ability to paint and leave with your masterpiece on the very same day. It was super important for the kids to take home what they worked on; waiting a whole week for a pot to cure and dry is something we can save for a future birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed. There were other kids happily making soap, and the woman who greeted us kindly explained that we could pick whatever we wanted to paint. Once we selected our items, we paid and were set up at a table with paints, brushes, and an apron. I'm so glad she made sure we knew the paint didn't wash out of clothes. Pro-tip: Even if you're not painting, wear the apron. Trust me, your shirt will thank you for this advice! The kids had an absolute blast. It was so interactive, and once they finished, they had blow dryer stations so we could dry the paint. The best part? They took the painted items to the back and made them all shiny! This place is a definite hit. And I hear it's fun even for adults with no kids in tow. Girls' night, anyone? Sign me up!
