Her art can be seen on facebook and I recall a little video she posted once showing her process. Sue is a very gracious person...kind, patient and very talented. She answered my many questions patiently. It's now been a couple of years and I have three pieces of her art in my home. I find her prices to be reasonable and her work serves to add a certain charm to the home and projects calm and color exquisitely.

It was so much fun to forge a hunk of metal into a useable item. My suggestions to anyone taking the class, bring clothes you don't care about, don't bother bringing water, they have filtered water available (we brought jugs with us), bring plenty of food (you will get a workout and will get hungry), bring hearing protection if you have your own (they provide ear plugs but head phones are more comfortable). If this class was any indication, I can guarantee you will have an amazing experience. Thank you again Brian.

I truly didn't know what I was signing up for at first, but I ended up being so genuinely happy that I did. The studio space was completely different from what I expected, in the best possible way. It felt inspiring, welcoming, and full of creativity. Our instructor was an amazing. We got to create, experiment, and learn so much throughout the sessions. I felt like my daughter and I both gained something really special from the experience. I honestly think this is something positive Simi Valley really needs, heavy on the community and I can't wait to see what it grows into. I can't say enough good things about the studio, the atmosphere, and all the things we got to make and learn together.

I can't stop blushing…read more The Artful Bachelorette is an unique concept that specializes in bachelorette parties, birthday parties, etc. We celebrated my good friend's birthday this past weekend with a quick getaway to West Hollywood. Part of the trip included an activation by the Artful Bachelorette, a scandalizing crash course on drawing men in the nude. Their lovely team brings all the supplies, a fully nude model (hey, Oscar!) and provides guidance on drawing the male physique. There's two easy-to-follow rules: no touching and no photos. Once we got over the giggling, the afternoon went so smoothly. Over a two-hour period, we drank mimosas, ate cake, and got to know Oscar on a very personal level. Fortunately for us (and our champagne buzz) no artistic talent is necessary to enjoy this activity! The experience is very immersive with simple step by step instructions. Their team created a number of exercises and fun surprises to keep the group laughing and engaged. This would be a great alternative to anyone who finds strippers to be a bit too raunchy. The experience was classy, fun, and laughable. Despite not knowing many of the girls prior to our trip, we all left feeling bonded by alcohol and nudity.

The Artful Bachelorette is a activity event company that puts on as well as is sought after for events such as Bachelorette Parties, Birthdays, holidays, private parties and so forth.

Learning to embrace your creative inner artist, strip away the familiar and miss no detail of any kind or length... A few simple ground rules are gone over before the fun starts, but not before that first sip of vino or bubbly. Always respect the models, cameras/phones away during your session, don't touch unless touched... they are very polite and personable human beings and hopefully you are as well... they are free for photo ops (clothed at that point) after/at the end of your event... so channel your self control you'll be taking it all in for well over an hour. The group I was with through yelp was an amazing bunch and co-ed which was nice and refreshing for me to not be the only guy in the group though I felt just as welcome, encouraged and respected as any one else sketching, mingling and enjoying a Friday Night to the max. An amazing social icebreaker and bonding experience you should consider for you and a few.
