These projects are way beyond what you might do at home. There's no boring finger-painting here. We've experimented with wood, shaving cream, salt, print-making, we've splatter painted, sculpted coffee filters, and collaged - each week is different! My 3yo is so proud of her work. She looks forward to art class, it is a high point of her week. I'm always impressed by how novel the art experience is - and how rooted in art education the projects are. As was mentioned by another reviewer, there is free on-street parking along S, and the rate per class is comparable to other children's "art classes" in the DC metro area where all the kids do is color, cut and glue. (I know, I've sampled a bunch.) Anne is far and away the best. Give Anna Banana a try! You won't be sorry.

The celebrations and traditions are kept here and it is great to experience them. The faculty is phenomenal. This is a place that embraces our children and young people to develop excellent minds for future excellence. If you are accepted here...YOU ARE BLESSED! There are several things that can be improved upon in the dormitories. Vermin, rodents, failing elevators, and failing equipment, etc. These things are at all universities so the playing field is fair and even. There are some great dining halls for dormitories, 2 on campus and 1 in Howard Towers housing a bit off campus. The Soul Food Thursday in the Dining Halls is AMAZING. The Bison Spirit and Pride is infectious. Long live Howard University! Go Bisons! HU...YOU KNOW!!

Wendy Taylor was recommended to me by a friend. I sought her help after months of Physical Therapy…read morehad failed to alleviate the symptoms from a bulging disc in my lower back. Wendy's manner was excellent. She took time getting to know my history, habits, complaints and lifestyle before every treatment. She explained everything she was doing beforehand which made me feel at ease. Almost immediately, there were subtle, but discernible improvements, in my back and throughout my body as a whole. I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone who wishes to improve their body, maintain their health, or seek relief from a specific injury or discomfort.

Oh my goodness! Where do I even begin? I would give Wendy a million stars if I could!…read more I reached out to Wendy during a very trying time of extreme stress, anxiety and mental struggle, and I am so glad I did. Wendy's help and guidance over the past couple months have truly been an integral part of my healing process. I've been doing a weekly combination of acupuncture and reiki, and I highly recommend it. Even after a just a preliminary reiki session, I immediately felt more grounded and at peace, and my lower back pain was gone. Wendy took great care to thoroughly go over my physical and mental health history, as well as past and current life struggles before we began our sessions. She tailors each session accordingly, and very thoroughly explains her reasoning behind her decisions--it is so interesting and informative! She has provided me many helpful tips and tricks to take moving forward! Along with being an amazing healer, Wendy is such a kind, thoughtful, and caring person--I am truly lucky to have found her in my healing journey.

His small studio on the 3rd floor of a brick row house right next to Cafe Saint Ex is as visually enticing as it is warm and inviting. It's also the perfect location to take a one-on-one art class - where you can learn about (and learn to create!) all different types of art! Miguel works with all mediums - from oil and encaustic to printing his own photography onto metal. A lot of his art pieces are for sale in his studio. He also does commissioned pieces, and recently created a 5 piece art installation for the front lobby of the "Church Place" condo building, located at 1520 16th St. NW, Wash DC. Miguel is also a very active member of DC's "Mid City Artists" collaborative, and regularly participates in their bi-annual Open Studios Tour. He's definitely an artist worthwhile checking out in DC!

How do I give 6 stars? 7 stars? 100? Dan and JewelryClassDC deserve them, and more…read more I worked with Dan to make my engagement ring and it was an unforgettable experience. It can feel like a real leap of faith to do something so personal and important in such an unconventional way, and to put your trust in a stranger and in your own ability to learn something you have never even considered before--but I am so glad I took it. I have an experience I will remember for the rest of my life, my fiancée (she said yes of course!) has a beautiful, truly one-of-a-kind heirloom she adores and values beyond measure, and we have a story we will tell over and over again. She is already getting questions about where I found her ring, and her friends are already gushing about how amazed they are I made it. Honestly, I am amazed too. I wasn't sure I could make a ring that looked better than a beginner's craft project!--but that was before I met Dan. I had a personal design idea that not only do they not sell in stores, they don't even really sell jade cut how I needed. As far as I can tell, no one had done this before. Well, now someone has, it turned out incredible, and it's all because Dan made it possible. He went above and so far beyond. As a craftsman he is not just skilled, but meticulous, and determined to make sure every product he works on meets his high standard of excellence. As a teacher he is patient, knowledgeable, and eager to share and show what he knows--which is a lot.  And to top it all off, he is a real man of his word--exactly the kind of person you want to put your trust in when dealing with precious metals, stones, and memories. In short, they don't 'em like Dan anymore--that goes for his character, and his jewelry. If you need jewelry made, if you need jewelry worked on, if you need a guiding hand to make something yourself--do yourself a favor and see Dan and his team at JewelryClassDC.

I wanted to get a broken clasp fixed on an old silver bracelet. So I reached out to Daniel to find…read moreout if he did that kind of work. He wrote back, "probably" and told me to bring it by that weekend and he'd have a look. I told him I would come Saturday and he wrote that he might have to go the DMV at some point, but that he should be around. I came by Saturday and he was not there, so I left the piece with a young woman who admired the bracelet and tagged it to give it to him and took my phone number and email. When I had heard nothing by Wednesday, I called and Daniel somewhat impatiently said that "I haven't even looked at it," but that he would. I waited another three days and called a week from when I had originally dropped it off, only to have Daniel say that he "hadn't even looked at it" and I told him I would just come over to take it back. I came and he dumped the bracelet in my hand, again saying, "I haven't looked at it." When I reminded him that he had said Wednesday that he would look at it, he barked "What do you want from me!!!!!"
