Great!
I love that my son gets to work on one project week to week and therefore time to achieve and finish something. The teachers are great and he's come up with some creative art work.

Emmeline thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. Your daughter is a wonderful student! She brings a lovely, positive energy to her classes and I'm so pleased she's still enjoying her weekly dose of art-K.
All the best, Sarah

My 7 year old daughter did an excellent morning workshop with her friends at the Dorking branch. She came home very happy. The art work she brought home is now proudly displayed at home! My children also do weekly classes and love them. My only feedback would be that it would be helpful if there could be a small discount for a sibling doing regular classes as it really adds up when sending more than 1 child. They absolutely love their classes and teachers so I hope they can continue.

Thank you so much for your kind review, it really warms our hearts to know that the artwork our students make is being proudly displayed at home! It is also lovely to hear that your daughter enjoys both the holiday and term time sessions :)
I've passed on your feedback about sibling discounts to the central team for review. In the meantime, we offer installment payments for term time classes so that the cost can be spread across 2 or 3 months. Please do get in touch if this is something you're interested in :)
I’m so grateful to Sarah at Art K

Sarah and the team in Dorking are so positive, calm, warm, creative and inspiring. My ADHD daughter loves her art K sessions, they calm and relax her, she focuses and thrives like a therapy session. So many projects to experiment with she’s learned loads about different techniques and mediums and produced some fabulous creations. She’d be there all week if she could.

Amy, thank you so much for leaving this review! We really enjoy having your daughter in the class, she is always helpful and brings that art-K atmoshpere we always strive for. Charlie can't wait to get to know her better!
Thanks again!
Sarah and Charlie :)
Great teacher and classmates
Sarah is a very calm and patient teacher always on hand with the best positive advice. She is incredibly knowledgeable and talented. I've learnt so much from her after attending for about a year and have had the opportunity to try various different media. I really look forward to going and catching up with my classmates. The process of creating art takes my mind off anything else that is going on in my head, it is very meditative. It is my switch off and recharge time solely for me and I can't recommend it highly enough.
