Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear that your granddaughters enjoy their art sessions and that you're impressed with the artwork they've created. Thank you as well for your kind words about our team, we put a lot of effort into making sure everyone feels looked after and comfortable, so we're really happy that this has come across well. It also means a lot to know they always ask when they can come back, and we can't wait to welcome them both back to the studio soon!

Great weekend and evening activity for kids
The staff are always supportive and encouraging of the children and their projects; and their positivity is infectious. The children learn many different techniques through a surprisingly wide range of different projects, and it's always amazing to see what they've done each week. Art-K is the highlight of our child's week!

Ahh thank you so much for your lovely words! We just love having E in the studio, she is such a ray of sunshine. We are really impressed with how much she has improved in her art skills and confidence too since she has been with us and we can't wait to create more art together next term :)

Inspiring
I really enjoy the approach in the adult groups of helping you develop as you want. It's a lot more student-centred than many other classes. People in the group work on a whole range of media, topics and styles. Thea and her team have lots of projects to inspire and guide you, or you can do your own thing at your own pace. I came to Art-K by chance; I've stayed for 18 months.

Hi Simon - thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear you've enjoyed the student-centred approach and the freedom to explore your own interests alongside our projects. We really try and make sure each student has their own creative art journey which suits them. It's wonderful that you've found inspiration in the group and have stayed with us for so long, the studio wouldn't be the same without you! We really appreciate your kind words about, and we look forward to seeing where your creative journey takes you next term! 🎨😊

Thea and Catherine are a great team
Thea and Catherine are a great team. They are both always ready to give advice and guidance. You are made to feel very welcome from the moment you set foot inside the studio. They both always offer encouragement even when you think that your work is not going the way you want. I have been going for just over a year now and have been able to try various types of media. I look forward to my Tuesday evenings.

Hi J- thankyou so much for taking the time to write us a review ! We have been so impressed this term with A's creativity creating her boulder project for the OXO Gallery exhibition- I can't wait to go and see it in person !! The final details of the little ant and butterfly were so much fun to bring to life with A- the project has become so unique to her :) Thankyou for your continued support and have a lovely summer! - Thea & Catherine
My Happy Creative Space at art-K Earley
I've been taking art classes at art-K Earley for few years and have really enjoyed the experience. The team is incredibly friendly, supportive, and provides excellent guidance whatever your skill level. It's a welcoming environment where you can set aside time for creativity, explore new techniques and materials, and develop your artistic skills. It's also a great place to meet like-minded people who share a passion for art and crafts. I highly recommend it!

Wonderful team!
Wonderful team!! Thank you , Such lovely and enthusiastic people. Thea is so friendly, smiling, kindhearted, approachable and caring. The whole team are so welcoming and excellent. They put my niece at ease after first session, even though she was so reluctant to go into the studio at the start. Well done you: Thea and Catherine and the whole team🥰 you made a huge impact. I recommend this art class for everyone if they want to learn in a great supportive environment. We are very lucky to have this class in Earley for our community/ children.

Enriching experience for children
Friendly staff, engaging projects, my child loves it and has been going for many terms including holiday workshops. My only issue is the cost is quite high - some sort of discount or incentive for repeat customers would be nice and gratefully received.

Thank you so much for your kind review and for being part of the art-K Earley family over so many terms and holiday workshops. We're delighted to hear that your child enjoys the projects and that you've had such positive experiences with our team.
Your thoughts around cost are completely understandable, especially as the cost of living continues to rise. We always aim to make sure families feel they're receiving great value from their classes. We also offer make-up sessions when classes are cancelled in advance, as we want every child to benefit from their full experience with us and for parents to receive the full value of their booking.
We do have a few ways to help make art-K more affordable for families. We offer paying via childcare vouchers or in instalments, as-well our friend referral discount is unlimited, so recommending us to friends (or family!) can be a great way to save. Our team would be very happy to chat through the options available to you. We're also currently trialling an Early Bird Priority Offer for the autumn term, so do make the most of that when signing your child up.
Thank you again for your continued support and for taking the time to share your feedback. We really appreciate it and look forward to welcoming your child back for many more creative adventures! 🎨😊

Great Experience for all. Children made welcome. Excited by their creations and full of praise for the staff in attendance.
My 3 Grandchildren really enjoyed the half day art class.
They were welcomed at the door by the two teachers and were made welcome immediately. They were called by name which gives children a sense of belonging.
