It's fun, engaging, and the teachers interact personally with him, taking great stock in his overall experience there. Plus, after each camp he attends (and he's attended several), he grows by leaps and bounds artistically. And that's just not in what he creates. It's also by his enhanced understanding and appreciation of art. We love it when he shares with us what he's learned in class, whether it's about Matisse, or a certain painting technique. In our family, we view art not just as an end until itself, but also as a means of expression and interpreting/helping shape the world us. We feel that Davis Studio furthers that view. His classes have been taught by a variety of teachers at Davis Studio, and we've been impressed by the consistently high caliber of staff. We strongly recommend Davis Studio.

I want to preface this by pointing out that I am not at all- in any way, shape, or form (see what I…read moredid there)-artistic! And you know what, I am fine with that. So, when the opportunity arose to test out "A Taste of Art" I jumped at it. I wanted to see just how far I could push my lack of talent and see what results would be gathered from the experience. I attended a Paint and Sip evening at Butch + Babe's restaurant in Burlington. Upon walking in, the first thing I noticed was the intimate size of the space and that there were a few too-many-tables-to-count set up in the far right side of the restaurant for the paint event. Aside from that, I also observed a confident presence. Standing at the head of the table was a warm, eager looking lady whom I later came to learn was Sue herself! Sue had already taken the time to set up each one of our canvases, paint dollops, brushes, water, and even aprons! Though the space was a bit tight, I really felt that we had adequate room to maneuver our inner artists! Sue began the sessions by telling us a tiny bit about herself and her business. She then showed us the painting we would use as a guide and gently began to introduce us into the world of painting. I found Sue to be quite instructional and pleasant. Though she was at the very front of the space, she took the time to really engage with all of us on an individual basis. She did her best to accommodate our random artistic whims and really worked with individuals to guide them in adding character to their paintings. Sue is real, relate able, and has a calm, soothing way about her. She is very passionate about what she does and she wants to share it with the world. So go on, go hang out with Sue; bring out the artist within!

I have been lucky enough to do 2 classes with Sue. One was an event thru SEABA and the second was a…read moreprivate party at a co-workers home. At both events Sue walked us all thru a painting (the sunflowers and the snowman if you review the photos - note - those aren't my photos!) With the exception of the art credit I need for my electives, I tend to be more a spreadsheet kinda girl verses creative.... Sue can make anyone an artist! Trust me a little wine helps with any nerves you might have too! Both results were fantastic and I have them hanging proudly on my wall. If you want a fun night out with friends that isn't your normal dinner and drinks, try one of Sue's events!

It was clear that her priority was for me to have the experience I wanted and for me to be supported in my choices. She took such good care of my partner and I during the labor, feeding us and making sure we knew when was a good time to sleep, drink, move... all the things that you can easily forget about when you're in the middle of something so intense. She was steady, calm and confident presence and I would recommend her to anyone. She's really funny, too and has such a great personality. My toddler and dogs love her!

There's a good variety of different types of art (some photography, some prints, some originals, pottery, jewelry, etc.) and they're at varying price levels. Though some artists are very expensive, they always have a ton of stuff that is really affordable, as well. I'm always able to find something at my desired price point for the day. I never mind spending a little more because everything is made by local Vermont artists, and makes for much nicer gifts than generic tourist trap type things. Their selection of ornaments for this year is so cute! Definitely recommend a stop in here over most other places on Church St.
