What a wonderful afternoon at DIT!!…read more During COVID, call/email ahead for a private appointment and send in images before you arrive. We had two adults and three kids (8, 9 and 12). Adrian had everything setup and even let the kids pick what music to listen to on Alexa (Hamilton!) The studio is cozy and well-stocked with supplies. Adrian is super talented and also a patient, fun, accommodating, creative and encouraging guide to crafting. He walked us through the almost-two-hour process of making our own, unique wooden signs-- from sanding, staining, pressing patterns, choosing colors and painting. We had a great time and came away with beautiful art. And for the very, very reasonable cost, I'm surprised there are any openings this winter. Run to DIT!!

Right now with all the COVID-19 craziness going on, taking online courses through Vitruvian is a…read moregreat way to develop talents, during the shelter in place orders and social distancing. The online course offers hours of detailed video direction. The videos are high-quality and give great depth and detail into instruction. I am about halfway through the course and I absolutely love it. David the instructor is extremely detail oriented. If you are looking to develop your drawing skills, I highly recommend their Beginners Course in Drawing. One of the reasons I love this online corse it is because you can work at your own pace and you can go back and watch the videos as many times as you need to. David is extremely responsive. Anytime I have had a question or a concern he responds very quickly. I'm giving them 5 STARS! :)

Campers enjoy a mix of free time (painting, outdoor time, books, Magnatiles, doll house & dinosaurs) and more structured, project time like origami and wand-making. But it's not just limited to art.

It's clear they love their jobs and the campers love being there! What a treasure! And it is affordable. We are so lucky to have Magical Minds in Oak Park.

Very disappointing experience overall. I took two hand building classes recently. They're 8 weeks…read morelong, but in reality you have 6 weeks of time to work because the first week is the introductory info and the 8th week you're just picking up your glazed work. The teacher, Set, seems nice at first, but there's a lot of gossip about the owner, Jay, and other students. Do I really need to know that Jay lives in the building and is proud that he doesn't have a place to bathe in his space? Initially we were told that her Tues and Wed night students could come on both nights to work if they were interested. She said Jay a didn't know what's going on and if asked, just say you were making up a missed class. She then rescinded that offer when she decided that she didn't like me for some reason. I have no idea what I did to inspire this treatment, but Set told me I was "intolerable" and when I asked what I'd done she claimed I was harassing her. She got upset and said she was going to call the owner to get the police!! I can only think I ask too many questions and asked for her help too often. She tried to draw other students into the conflict by saying "WE". As a former teacher I find that so unprofessional. If I've ever needed to talk to a student about a problem, I ask the student to speak to me away from other students, not try to get them on "my side". I contacted Jay and after talking to her, his response was it seemed she was having a bad day. I'll say! Set knows where her bread is buttered. She is so proud of a huge bust of Jay, the owner, that took her 2 years to finish. We all had to go and look at it. She knows who to pander to. Overall she's a pretty good artist, but NOT A GREAT TEACHER. Never again will I take a class there. It's full of older rich white (suburban) women and those are just not my kind of people. I'm sad that I can't continue taking classes as it's very close to my home.
