We love this place!…read more My son is on lower end of the age range for the classes here but he is flourishing in the classes. It is a big confidence booster and as an added bonus he gets exposure to advanced math concepts he otherwise has not been taught yet. Also it is nice that parents can hang around during the weekend classes and sample the board games on hand. Highly recommend. Classes include pixel art, animation, and various types of game design. We have only dabbled in the art and animation so far but I am sure game design will be next on the list! BTW, the only parking is street parking but I have never had a problem getting a spot.

What a great local business! Such a fun day!…read more First off, it was very easy to find street parking right in front of (and across the street) from the place. Unfortunately it is located on the second (or maybe third) floor and there are quite a few stairs you must take to get up there. We had a few older women in our group and they did make it up, however, it is something to note. This is actually an art gallery so there are great pieces of art throughout the entire place. You can rent the space for your own private parties. Yesterday was so much fun! It was ladies day out and a birthday party with 10 of us. Teresa and Jen were amazing - so friendly and they couldn't be more helpful taking their time helping us each step of the way to a beautiful painting. We brought our own food and beverages (they supplied coffee and milk!) and everything else was provided for us - the canvases, paint, paintbrushes, smocks, etc, etc. So many fun paintings to choose from. I was worried ours would be too difficult but in the end it came out amazing (see pictures). Definitely want to come back again with a bunch of friends.
