My girlfriend booked us the couples class at Smashed and it was an really fun date. The staff was…read moreincredibly helpful and definitely used their pro knowledge to help us out a lot. 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.

What…read moreattracted me most to their studio was that their selection of art were actually pieces I would want in my home. I called to see if they had availability that day and they were able to accommodate my mom and I. We had a great time.

My mom's already planning her next trip to town!!

We were a group of seven for a bachelorette party and were excited about the event because we've…read moredone a few in the past and the leader made it fun and easy to follow. But that's not what we got. We enjoyed our time together bc we're happy to see each other, HOWEVER, one thing that we all agreed upon was that we were quite disappointed in the hands-off approach. In previous ones that we have done, there's an instructor at the front, guiding, you step-by-step through the process of painting the selected piece. They typically helped you find the correct blend to make the colors. Guided you through how to correct mistakes... very hands on and active. The reminder email received even says, "You're going to have a blast with our artist-entertainer! No experience is necessary to be expertly guided in creating memories, not masterpieces." And this is NOT what we got at all. Neither expertly guided nor entertained. We got step-by-step written instructions that were vague and everyone abandoned reading them at all. We didn't make a scene but did verbally express our chagrin and confusion that the instructions weren't clear, but it fell upon deaf ears. Our youngest attendee, a 14-year old, even painted the instructions page black to show her frustrations with it. There was "encouragement" - every few minutes our babysitters would walk by and say "that looks great" but when asking for help, one said they could help, but then did nothing, and the other helped after some pleading bc our friend really wasn't happy. Finally, of our girls gave up altogether and didn't finish hers at all saying, "I'm having more fun talking to my friend." I don't know if all places are like this now but if so, we will not do anything like this again. At the end when we were told our paintings turned out so well (minus the abandoned one) we mentioned that in others we've done, there was a lead and more help. The response was that this was a "workshop" and since there were multiple projects going on in the room, it was an independent thing. So be aware. This was something we could've done in our own home for half the price. Update: The owner reached out to me and pointed out that on the purchase page it did mention a printout would be given (see attached photo). However, the personalized event email to me the day prior said "expertly guided." So to me this would be the most updated info to pay attention to. After conferring with the other attendees we felt it fair to update from 2 to 3 stars. I firmly believe that this isn't the norm and should have been more emphasized. Additionally, we didn't feel it deserved 4 stars because as open as we were about making it known that we were not understanding the printout instructions, we still didn't get and "expert guidance". Had we gotten help, the other detail could've been forgiven.

And she is an opinionated person who doesn't just automatically adore every school or camp or hobby she's done. Ms. Cynthia runs the place so smoothly. Always polite. Always patient. Pure professionalism and kindness with the kids. Kiddo loves Ms. Star so much that she has picked up some of her motivational quotes and mannerisms at home, haha. All of the instructors are amazing with the controlled chaos that art with a bunch of kids every day just inherently entails. They also treat our kid with respect and kind authority instead of that condescension thing most adults just lean on. I appreciate the crap out of that since that's how we treat kids too. I'm freaking impressed. Constantly. I don't worry about our kid when she's with you and that means everything. Thank y'all. (I didn't know which website the reviews mean the most at so I'm putting this one on here and Google and Facebook probably.)

My children (ages 9 and 7) have attended art camp here and they absolutely loved it!!! 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.
