I signed up for the MAP program. I paid $4,500 which was supposed to be attributed to the last…read morepayment for the program. I got very sick a month or more after I signed up. I got a very rare disease called Sarcoidosis which is very debilitating. I felt I could no longer do the program due to its demanding schedule. I wanted my $4,500 back. Kessler said "he wasn't in the habit of taking money from people and not providing a service" in one conversation. However, he refused to give any of it back. The program was not full and he probably was hurting for money. Just be careful this guy. Make sure you've done your due diligence. He offered to hold the money and I could sign up in 3 years. No thank you. I'm out $4,500 and he's sitting pretty.

Now it's our younger kid who continues the family tradition og learning art there. Kids just love this terrific place where creativity is in full bloom. They learn different technique, work with all kinds of material. I am happy that teachers are kind and patient and very supportiv. Kids really feel free in their artistic expression yet the works they bring home are of a great quality. We highly recommend Alena's Art Studio to anyone who likes art and who wants to learn to enjoy creating it as well.

I started to go to J Art in 6th grade. I'm now a senior in college (at my dream school, Rhode…read moreIsland School of Design!) and I can say for a fact that I would not have gotten to this point without J Art. I came here for 6-7 years constantly; I even moved to Florida for a couple years for my mom's job and I visited VA during my breaks just to attend J Art and work on my art. If it matters to the parents reading, J Art also helped me apply to (and win) lots of art competitions that I otherwise would not have known about. I also think the strictness level varies for each student, as every teacher I worked with were talented and kind in their own unique ways. I'll keep my review short but I can say that I'm truly grateful for everything I've learned from here and that I miss it very much! Easily the easiest 5 stars I can give to any establishment. I would give 10 if I could!

J art has taught me all I know, and I am more than grateful to this studio and its teachers. Under their guidance I truly believe I have blossomed as an artist. Not everyone is naturally creative, and with age, a lot of creativity is lost... But everyone can be taught to think out of the ordinary, and that is what j art has taught me. Cheers!

Review is for the summer camp experience…read more The classes are advertised like the children will make pottery and learn how to paint scenes or animals (similar to bigger paint studies that do the step by step instructions). However, they didn't do that. Instead they used clay to make something, that was never in a kiln so it comes home wet and soft. In regards to the painting, most of the paintings had glitter or wet paint. Leaving tons of glitter in my car and in my house. The paint getting on my clothes as I try to help my child collect all her artwork for the day (did ruin my shirt). Also, my child was sent home with what looked like blue "glob" that immediately made anyone's hands turn blue when they touched it. Also, my child left there everyday with paint on herself. They need to incorporate a cleanup before pickup to remedy this and put all items away. We would immediately go home and have my child wash up. As a full-time working Mom whose children have been in daycares, Kidcreate Studio would benefit from incorporating some of the day to day of daycare (cubbies for children's items (lunchboxes/water bottles for easy grab and pick-up/drop off), 15 min at the end of each day for cleanup and washing up, anything not fully dried stays over night and can be picked up later, etc.) Therefore, I find this summer camp overpriced for what you receive and will not be returning or recommending to friends and family.

I highly recommend WSS for anyone truly interested in growing as an artist.
