I will definitely be doing more paintings on my own in the near future!

Students don't just simply learn how to draw, but learn how to apply different art techniques. They allow to students the freedom to create however they see fit with no right or wrong way.

This is a very cool lil art studio owned by a wonderful person named CD…read more We had the opportunity to attend a couple family parties here and we decided to throw a birthday party here for our daughter's 6th Birthday. We inquired directly with CD for our date and time and she guided us thru the booking process. There was a last minute mixup but CD made every effort to offer us a successfull party....and CD definitely delivered. On the day of our party, we arrived early to a wonderful birthday party setup in the outdoor back patio, decorated nook and and an intimate upstairs studio for our party guests. To be honest, the setup she provided was exactly how we prefer. We were able to bring in and display our offerings for our guests and the parents enjoyed themselves hanging outside while the kids roamed around and enjoyed their painting session upstairs in the studio. CD and her team did an amazing job in making sure our party was a success! You can not go wrong when it comes to art and we were right to go with CD's Art Studio! I highly recommend her business to everybody.

They were so engaged and happy the whole time. What I really loved was how the teachers made everything feel extra special. They're super fun and let the kids get creative without holding back. As an artist myself, I think every little one deserves teachers like Marina and Inessa. The only reason we haven't signed our daughter up for regular classes is because the timings clash with her schedule. Otherwise, we'd sign her up in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this place, 1000 percent

I'm so amazed at how happy the children are to be together. They discuss everything. It seems so natural for them to discuss colors and subjects. The fascinating part is listening to them discuss other topics that seem to come up. They have this safe warm place to talk about their feelings and whatever is on their mind. They seem to all like each other so much! Miss Marina is a big part of this amazing atmosphere. She's is always smiling and so astonishingly kind to everyone. There is a lot of encouragement and appreciation for each wonderful child. From Miss Marinas warm greeting, encouragement and feeling of being safe and embraced, this is a magical place. The treasures they bring home will remind them of how incredible they are! This is something the children will carry with them forever. This is the perfect after school activity. I can't recommend highly enough. I wish adults could have this experience. Amazing!!!!!

Took two classes here and had very different experiences…read more The first class I went to was a resin workshop with Punky Power Productions and it was fun, engaging, and interactive. The instructor was very fun and really willing to help out and inspire. 5 stars. The second workshop i took, just this Sunday, was not great at all. It was a mosaic class and it might as well have been self led. The instructor gave us a brief 3-5 min tutorial on how to place the tiles and then did nothing else except sorted tiles the whole time. She never came around to see how we were doing or if we needed help. We had to keep asking her to come over if we had a question and she didn't really offer too much. She never told us what color we could use, and kept coming over and collecting the extra tiles as we were working. She didn't help us finish up and left before we were done. It was super disappointing.

I have gone to Open Studios in Campbell, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale, Los Altos, and Los Altos Hill. The variety of the arts on display is impressive. The purpose is twofold - one for the pure enjoyment; the other is to purchase art. I recall seeing paintings, photography, Gourds, jewelry, and more. Also, I enjoy talking to selected artists about their work. This year I purchased three photographs and one abstract watercolor painting. Last year I purchased two photographs. The prior two years, I just enjoyed the art without purchasing. Some of the displays are situated indoors, while others are in the front or in the rear of homes.

Signage was great on driving directions, I did pick up at map and pamphlet earlier in the week at CSMA but the yellow signs definately helped with finding the hidden studios. Great to see the artists and works at their studios, artists were very welcoming and wanted to talk to you about their art, many offered free snacks, parking can be a bit challenging at some venues. Some artists only show at this event and some studios are rarely open, so this was a treat. Still two more weekends in May that they are showing.

I already picked the theme for our bday celebration painting and Katiya helped us to draw it. It was so much fun. Such a personalized service in a great friendly atmosphere. We all had so much laugh, and came home with our beautiful paintings. She also made tea for us so we can drink with our bday cake which was the highlight of the night. Thank you Katiya for creating an incredible night for us. We decided to do this once month since it was pretty memorable.
