So excited to review one of my favourite creative spots in Calgary…read more 4cats studio offers painting, pottery, polymer clay sculpting, and other arts classes for adults, family, and children. We have done a polymer clay class and a ice cream bowl(pottery)class. Both were super enjoyable and their staff were amazing. I found that the small classes they offer are very informative, fun-filled, and affordable. They do 2 for 1 class deals which are such a good price for what you learn and you get to take home the product you make. When I was last there, which was when I did the pottery bowl class with my husband - I was pregnant and I was seriously excited for my baby to come out as soon as possible so she can start growing up and participating in these art classes. That's how much we liked being there! If you are in a rush, but want to do some art stuff at home, you can pop in and grab some of their polymer clay kits which are super cute and easy to make. I definitely recommend 4cats to everyone who is looking for some creative outlet, but dont want to spend a ton of money for in depth art classes.

I was late for work, besides having to waste time and gas driving across the city to drop my child to camp. When I tried to contact manager later, they were not available to speak on the phone, only wanted to communicate in email. I was issued a refund in a form of a gift card that expires in one month. I had been a client of 4 cats for 15 years. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with camps for my children. Would never recommend, so disappointed. Everyone, chose another art studio

Their calendar online shows which painting you will paint that night. We went early for a glass of wine and they had really nice appies! Charcuterie board, flat bread were perfect. We went as a double date and I think our husbands liked it more than we did! A few other couples and a great place for a girls night! I think my mom would love this, I want to take her! Once you get seated, the instructor guides you through the painting step by step, but allows you to add your personal touch to it. Honestly it was a blast and I'm not an artist whatsoever. I liked that they played good tunes while you painted. We had so much fun tonite we definitely will go back for another date night!

An artist provides step-by-step guidance and in just two hours, you will complete a 16″ x 20″ painting with your very own hands. All you have to do is decide where to hang it.

It took less than 10 days from the time I shipped the cremains to the time I had the completed piece returned. She helped me pick the colours, Green for his eyes and brown for his fur. she sent me a photo before she shipped it blue photos can not capture the beauty of her work. I wish I could afford to turn all his remains into glasswork and I might get more pieces in the future as I am extremely happy with what she created. She is very talented and I think this is an amazing way to hold on to a bit of a loved one in a subtle and personal way.
