"Miss Ana" has been absolutely wonderful as our 9 year old's art teacher! She has helped her to…read moreexplore many different aspects of art, from painting, to sketching, to clay and working with beads/wire. She always looks forward to going and has a smile on her face when she leaves. I would recommend Miss Ana to anyone who is looking for an outstanding art instructor. Even though our daughter is a beginner, Miss Ana tailors the lessons to something she is comfortable with and is almost serving as "art therapy" for her to help our daughter with sensory and attention challenges. Miss Ana is helping to foster her love of art and her sense of accomplishment when she completes a project.

One of the only remaining stores in Virginia for papercrafting, this shop with very limited hours…read morein tiny Clifton, Va 20 minutes from Dulles Airport is a rare gem. The owner is a lovely lady who keeps limited hours making it worth your while to schedule an outing here. She offers a number of frankly unprecedented shopper discounts and loyalty perks. The store itself is off the main street and not in a place for walkin patronage. Rather it is a little gem tucked in with seemingly a very loyal clientele. My friend and I made a special trip here and regular customers were stopping in throughout our visit. The store is full of wonderful paper products from all over the world. I purchased papers from Germany, Japan and Hungary to name a few of the lovely, artistic and unusual papers . The shop carries many current and popular brands usually available only on line. The shop also carries many items for altered art projects and paper crafting , metal dies, stamps, inks, and mixed media. There is a small well stocked classroom where classes in various techniques are generally held on alternate Saturdays. If you are a paper crafter, card maker, or altered or mixed media artist, support this shop and tell your like minded friends. This shop is well worth the drive and visit!

Master Park is an excellent instructor and the community is very friendly.

My kids have attended classes here for the last two years. I can't speak highly enough about it…read more They really enjoy the classes and think the instructors are fun, funny, and nice - while providing a disciplined classroom environment. They tend to compare these instructors to a previous one in another city who was a little too hardcore for the kids. Instructors Aaron, Rebecca, and the others seems to understand how to maintain the proper level of discipline and fun to keep the kids interested and enjoying the classes. One thing I should note - the beginner classes tended to include a lot more standing in line waiting to do something than I expected. But once they advanced to intermediate, the classes became much more active and efficient.
