They can perhaps talk to the church authorities close by for use of their grounds or take them to the end of scenic way (4 minute walk) and use the grassy area there! There was no ice-breaker so the kids shy to talk to each other and there was little or interaction among the kids! Classes start at 9 am. Break is from 10-11 an and lunch is from 12-1 pm and classes end at 3 pm! I will update this review if things change!

We had such a great experience at Clay Life Art Studio for our 4-year anniversary. My husband and I…read morebooked a private wheel-throwing lesson, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable things we've done together. David, the owner, welcomed us into the studio and gave us a tour before we started. He taught us the basics and all the important things to know when working on the wheel. He was incredibly informative, hands-on, patient, and welcoming--and also really funny, which made the whole experience even more relaxed and enjoyable. It was our first time trying wheel throwing and we had so much fun that my husband and I couldn't stop talking about it afterward. We each made two pieces, and for beginners I think we did pretty well lol! We were honestly so excited to come back and pick up our creations. The staff and members were also super friendly. One of the members asked if we were doing a lesson and when we said yes she told us we would have a great time--and she was not wrong. They also offer memberships if you're interested, and the studio has a very welcoming, community-based vibe. If you've ever wanted to try pottery or are looking for a fun and unique date idea, I highly recommend it.

After checking in and putting our stuff away, David started the class by showing use how everything works and gave us a demonstration of how to make a bowl. Not gonna lie, I got lost while watching him make it. After the demonstration, we got started on working on our own bowl. David is super patient and fun. He made sure we knew what we were by guiding us through each step of the way. He was hopping between me and my friends throughout the whole time. For our second piece, we had the freedom to make whatever we wanted to and he would be there to help us through the way. We got to choose the glaze color for each of our pieces and the final product should be done 3-4 weeks after the class. Can't wait to see the final product. Bathroom: There's 2 bathroom in the studio. The bathroom was clean and had scrubbers in case you wanted to get clay of your nails. Parking: Pretty easy as the studio is located in a little plaza.

They helped with setup and created the perfect unicorn-themed art class for the kids. Think paint night for kids, with lots of staff support for the little ones.

Our daughter is 5. She's always been very interested in puzzles, coloring/drawing, crafts, etc so I…read moreknew I wanted to enroll her in art classes. We tried a free art class here and I got to sit in the class. The teacher was very patient and taught her to first draw each line curve etc then they used oil pastels to color, next they used water paint to paint, then they used clay to make dirt. Our trial class is the excavator picture you see. We were very amazed at how much she learned in that one session. We enrolled her immediately. There are multiple make up sessions throughout the week if you need to miss your regularly scheduled class for vacation etc and option to do one on one make up class as last resort as well. We love the staff here and know she'll be in good hands and learn more of her passion here. There's multiple classes going on at the same time based on different art class levels. I've seen kids make sushi with different color clays etc and I've seen kids sketching when I'm pick up or dropping off my daughter so there's definitely lots to learn. I can see why happy Picasso is so popular around here after trying it out myself. When my daughter turns 7 and if she's interested, they also offer digital art class which will be useful for her in the future as well. Teachers here are very patient with the students. The kids also earn stamps each class and can trade them for prizes too. Very fun and motivating environment. 5 stars! And thanks.

I Have been taking adult art class with Inna for half year and making a lot of progress. Inna is an…read moreamazing teacher who tailors the teaching based on my level. I'm able to learn a lot from each session. For someone who has been learning painting from YouTube for two years, getting immediate feedback on my work makes a huge difference. Also, watching Inna doing demos are simply rewarding and nothing short of wonder. Furthermore, Inna creates an inspiring environment that makes me want to do better each time and also learn from each other. The class is both serious and fun. Although still new to the field, I now approach painting in a different and more principled way. Would highly recommend the class to anyone who is interested in pursuing art in any capacity.

I have been learning to paint at Art Academia for about 2 years. Inna is a really talented artist,…read moreshe is very knowledgeable, patient, polite and is a great teacher! With every class I learn something new and feel absolutely accomplished! Lessons have been focused on a wide variety of topics like landscape, still life, portraits, different techniques of painting with pallet knife, brush. You're welcome to use any medium as well! During this pandemic, Inna has been able to beautifully adapt to teaching online over zoom and gives personal attention, it's almost like a private class! I consider myself fortunate to have found Inna as my art teacher and I would highly recommend Art Academia to any one who is passionate about art and would want to learn and grow into an artist.

They lack professionalism and are in this slightly sketchy office building. The hallway lights…read moreweren't on when we went and it's just this tiny room with a table or two in it. The vases and work area was pretty dirty. It was $150 for a class, which was scheduled for 6 hrs, but actually was only 4 (on a Saturday morning...and part of that included lunch). Her style isn't as classic as I wanted it to be, and her choice of flowers would not be something I'd use (think purples, orange, green and yellow). Only one of them turned out okay. She gave handouts, but severely lacked instruction. Most of the time, she talked to a friend in the adjacent room. I prefer the adult school or community college classes over this one.

I emailed asking about the class schedule and they sent me a link to their website which only provided the times and day of the week when classes are usually held without any indication of when the next class was to be. Ken, who was responding to my email, was very condescending and rude. In one email, he said that I needed to start ASAP and in another he said that if he was I, he wouldn't attend the school since I have so many questions. Not sure how one question on class schedule is too many questions. In any event if I was going to shell out $500 on classes, shouldn't I ask questions? Needless to say, I will going to the classes at the San Francisco Flower School instead, since the condescension I got for asking about when classes start (how dare I?) makes me wonder what I will get if I venture to ask a question during the class. I did take a look at the pictures on their website and they weren't the best floral arrangements either. Looks like stuff out of the 80s. Glad I didn't take the class and spend the money.

They learn about shading, creating 3D look, outlining and layering art. They provide snacks which she enjoyed since they had options like Oreo's and chips lol and I believe they go to the park daily which they have to walk 2 blocks to get to. The business has a shared parking lot so drop off is pretty easy but tends to be busier at pickup. On the last day the kids get to present their work and the teacher high lights what she loves about it. My only complaint is that we stood for a hour to go through all the kids work, it would be nice if half way through, the kids that are done can be excused to leave so that half the chairs would free up so the remaining parents could sit. At the end of the camp the kids get a token they can use on the class machine and a extra one for a Yelp review. I would totally do this camp again as I hear every is a different theme. Last year my friend daughter did making their own stickers.
