My son has been attending art classes here with Rebecca, the daughter, and Marcia, her mother for…read moreseveral months now. He has participated in mixed media, painting, and now a drawing class. My older son went to a glass mosaics class over the summer. Both Marcia and Rebecca are state certified art teachers. I know they have worked in the public schools and have an excellent reputation because it was a school teacher that recommended them to me. They are very patient and recognize the artist in all of us. They offer several different classes and for all age ranges. I know they do private parties for ladies nights out and birthdays, but they also have classes for homeschool groups and pre-k's. On school holidays, they'll only a special project. In the evenings they have mostly grade school level classes in sculpting, mixed media, painting, and later in the evening they offer manga and more advanced sketching classes. You can pay by the class in some cases, or by the session, or for the whole term. Payment can all be handled online, which I really appreciate. All in all, this little studio has been the perfect fit for my son who is into comics and we don't have to drive over to COCA in St. Louis anymore. I feel like this studio has serious enough artists to keep him engaged through high school.

I have used them to stretch, mount and frame over 45 paintings over the last 8 years. All sizes, many are in cm from Europe, and all types of media. Never a complaint. Always a top notch job and less than the big chain places that advertise "50% off". I have sent many people to them and they have all been highly satisfied. They have also cleaned and reframed a 60 year old oil painting for me that had much dirt and cigarette smoke on it. Great job, looked like a totally different painting. They have done shadow boxes for me, great job. Turnaround time is normally 2-3 weeks, depending on if you have rolled painting that needs stretched and replaced on wood then framed or just a painting or picture that needs framing. I immediately take everything to them because I know I will get first class job at reasonable price!
