We also had…read moremy daughter's 7th birthday party at their Cypress location (the cute blue building off Kluge right by Kluge Tennis Ranch) and the kids had such a good time. They were well organized and everything went very smoothly! Each child left the party with a cute painting that was totally display worthy. 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.

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??

It was a great opportunity for all of us to be creative, was chill, and left ample time to socialize as well while waiting to go/watching your coworkers make their project. All the staff were also so nice and did an amazing job talking us through the process and sharing the history of glass blowing. We got to choose between an globe ornament, tear drop ornament, or bowl. I chose the teardrop ornament and settled on gold/copper colors. Truly hard to choose the color with how many options there were. Cannot recommend enough!

We made a bowl and a little flower pot. They gave really great instructions and came over to help each pair individually. It helped show us how to work together to create something. If something looked off, especially when our pot started to come apart, a staff member quickly came over to help us still create something beautiful. It takes a couple of weeks to fire the pot and we paid extra for the glaze. I would definitely recommend this for a friend group or couples. It's very fun and I'm excited to see how our creations turned out.

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.
