The items to choose from are from cups to bowls and even nice magnets that can be gifted to others. The prices are very reasonable and they always do a great job explaining the process and helping us out. Recently my mother hosted a birthday for my little sister and it was a blast. They held more than 11 people and did a great job glazing our paintings in 1hr. We had the other hour to eat pizza that we provided although they have variety options that includes cake and pizza as well, we just didn't choose that since we had custom made cakes and other items. The birthday was a blast and successful, everyone was really astonished by the outcome. Thank you Creative Hands for making that experience fun!

We come back down to Hurst every summer just for him to be able to take classes for a week. All of the instructors are patient, kind and caring. They want every child to do their best and be proud of their work. I love to go in a few minutes early for pickup just to hear the instructors working and encouraging the kids. The instructors are always positive and upbeat. I have not met one student or a parent of a student to ever say a bad word about Art Castle and the teachers. Your children are in excellent hands and will come out with a great experience and love of Art.

Everything is all fine and dandy unless you are melanated. You claim that a kid has behavior issues…read morebut then you do not mention that until the next day . Then you say well he doesn't really have a behavior issue when we get ready to pull him from camp. Then you state that well my child said his school teacher called us several times for behavior issues. So as an adult you believe a little kid instead of having a conversation with the parent(s) ? Who cares about your 20 years as a school teacher prior to this? All that does is allows you to group kids based on past experiences but you missed on this one. In your mind, you think we are " just some regular black parents". The truth is we are very educated and do accept false narratives. This child had won many awards for his school work , helpfulness, and citizenship. He has tested in the top 3% percentage in the country for math & reading in his age group. He plays the piano very well, plays the guitar, has a true love for art. Never once has there been a behavior issue and I have the references from the daycare, private schools, and gifted and talented schools that he has attended since 3 years of age. I am a realist and the one thing that I will not let happen, is for anyone to create a narrative that is untrue. If you were telling the truth, I could live with that. You have a problem within you. You have a "better than" complex. The other people that work for you know that you were not honest with what you said today. They may be afraid because of their jobs. It appears to me that there is no issue except for the fact that he is very intelligent and brown skinned. Well you now have your wish....a color free school.
