So kind, so smart, and so SO talented. Could not recommend more!

But their selection of paint and pottery is awesome. I also like the way they allow you to get your own paint unlike some places that limit you to colors. They have really cute pieces to paint and seems like they have a lot of seasonal switch ups which is appreciated. We did a cute little butterbell and it turned out so good!

I'm a sucker for a cute little small business hole in wall. And this place nails that! Plus, I may…read morebe a little biased because my parents used to run a paint it yourself ceramic shop when I was growing up. So places like this are very nostalgic for me. It's very small on the inside, compared to other do-it-yourself ceramic shops that I've been to. But honestly, I found that quite quaint and cozy. I find that their ceramic pieces were pretty affordable compared to some of the other ceramic shops I've been to in Austin. They have their paints separated by brights and detailed versus more earthy tone colors. And unfortunately, they tell you that you shouldn't mix them because they won't come out looking good. So you have to figure out what you want your piece to look like before hand, bright with small details? Or more earthy tones? My husband went with the bright and details, while my friend and I decided to go for earthy tones. My husband painted a wall switch plate, I painted a feather bowl, and my friend painted a mug. They were all done and ready to be picked up about a week and a half later. And they came out great! I enjoyed myself, and my husband and I have already discussed coming back perhaps for a date day :)

As she's grown, I'm just happy to see her stick figures fleshing out with hair and eyeballs. haha After she went to a KidzArt class, I was BLOWN AWAY. Ilona was asked to draw a picture of a horse. She drew what looked like a potato with stick legs. I thought it was cute. It was a typical drawing of a child Ilona's age, and its form indicated that Ilona's development was on-target. They proceeded to take a closer look at the horse---not just the horse as a whole, but actually try to look at the different pieces of something that MAKE it a whole. The result of this (Horse #2) shows an utter change in Ilona's perspective. I have uploaded a before and an after photo of Ilona's two horses. It still blows me away that the two pictures were done by one child----my child! KidzArt has really unlocked so much in Ilona's mind; it's so much more than just art. I can't wait---and Ilona can't wait---to go to the next class!

Art+Wine night provides a solution to this dilemma. Show up with your favorite wine and whatever art skills you do (or don't) possess and Natalya will provide all the supplies and knowledge you need to paint something worthy of displaying in your home. The website shows the project that will be taught on each date so you can pick and choose which nights you want to sign up for. The classes are small which allows Natalya to give everyone individualized instruction. I've been to four Art+Wine nights and I see SO much improvement since my first painting! I had never used oil paint and after taking a 2 session oil class I left with a legit fruit bowl painting. Artists of all skill levels come to Art+Wine night and everyone learns something new or improves their technique. It's a great way to spend a Friday night and accomplish something while drinking!

In addition to that, policy is unclear in relation to the time frame of the internet literature, and my access was suspended before I could take one of the two exams and get both certificates. I ended up with only one. Had my money refunded for the second, but still, some of my time was certainly wasted. Hopefully they will improve service in the future; they have the potential, as can be seen in old reviews, and also from their experience and structure. Wish them luck, as I do to those who decide to try them out in the future.
