art-K - Orpington Reviews 21

Fantastic - a really lovely, nurturing, calming and educating environment. Our daughter goes on a Saturday and it’s a perfect end to a hectic week.
She always looks forwards to it and comes out happy and relaxed.

Haven’t really done any art since O Levels in 1980. I have shown my “masterpieces” to many friends and they think they are magnificent and I must be super talented. I am not. Under the guidance of Mariia I have learned so much, her help, skill, patience and enthusiasm I am amazed at what I have been able to produce. A fab core group of artists in our group who are learning together along with the “comers and goers” makes it an interesting weekly event. The new facility to re-schedule a missed session is a welcome perk especially in the holiday time.
Excellent opportunity to learn and explore loads of artistic styles and mediums.

My son has been going here since last one year. He thoroughly enjoys his class. Mariia is a great teacher and gives some really great art projects ranging from clay to oil pastels, acrylic etc.
My son had loved doing each and every one of them. And has learned a lot too.
He is really happy here.
Highly recommend to everyone!!

Maria is amazing teacher and my daughter absolutely loves going to ArtK. I would highly recommend ArtK to anyone whose kids love Art.

Great nurturing environment. My son really enjoys the classes and looks forward to them each week.

My daughters love coming here. They are always so welcoming and inspiring. They always come home with some amazing artwork. We keep going back again and again!!

I booked an art party at this studio for my 7-year-old daughter, and it was fantastic! The event was very well organized, engaging, and kept a group of 6–7-year-olds happily occupied for 2.5 hours. A few of our guests attend art classes elsewhere and commented that they preferred the teaching style at this party. My daughter and all the other guests were thrilled—and so was I. I highly recommend this studio for a memorable celebration!

My granddaughter loves coming to her art classes each week. She really gets excited and seems totally absorbed in her creation. This week she brought back her lizard pot of which she is very proud. Mariia is so patient and inspirational in her teaching. Beautiful quality work.

My 12 and 10 year old enjoyed 2 days completing art projects . They really liked the lady running it and felt happy and comfortable. It was a good option as they are now getting to old for standard clubs and do not like sporty clubs.

I have now had 2 terms of adult classes at the orpington art K and I absolutely love my Tuesday evenings. Mariia is wonderful & very knowledgeable, she guides the group gently & offers advice and different techniques with encouragement. Highly recommend

My daughter has been coming from her art classes very happy. She always tells me how wonderful Maria is and the new skills she Learns. It absolutely amazing!😃

Mariia is such an encouraging and knowledgeable teacher. I have learnt so much and really enjoyed myself.

Mariia the art-K teacher is really great, very patient and knowledgeable. I did art at school (decades ago!) and it was never this much fun and the results were never as good!

My son has joined the newly opened Orpington branch from their very first day and has been truly enjoying every lesson since then. We all can see the incredible progress he is making but most importantly, he has become proud of himself and his passion to arts. Mariia has a unique talent to unleash the huge potential in everyone she gets to work with.

My child had a really positive time and came away with a finished painted canvas that she is really proud of, after a 2 hour session. The host of the session was welcoming and appeared very organised. I would book an art-k holiday club session again.

My son absolutely loved the class he attended. Lots to do, lovely environment. He can’t wait to go to another class!

I have been very impressed with Art-K. The class numbers with Maria are kept small, meaning Sasha gets plenty of instruction and attention. Consequently her drawing, sculpture and building skills have come on in leaps and bounds in a matter of months. She is also learning about great artists along the way and already, aged 7, knows names I have never heard of. The Orpington branch is very well stocked with materials and Maria is friendly and will always take time at collection to explain what they have been working on that day. They also take childcare vouchers which helps with the cost.

My daughter was always interested in art. Today a workshop under Maria triggered her interest even more. Maria is an excellent teacher. She made sure at the end of the day my daughter comes out as a more confident budding artist. Kudos to Maria and the entire Art K UK team for such a great effort.

Daughter (10YO) thoroughly enjoyed herself

Art-K Orpington
My son has been going to Art-K in Orpington for just over 2 months. He is really enjoying the classes and is already growing in confidence with different mediums which he showed little interest in before. I have noticed a difference in the pieces he produces at home.
Having the opportunity to work on projects is helping my son to develop as an artist and to practice patience.
The teacher Mariia provides a very relaxed and welcoming environment. She has been very supportive and encouraging with my son and is finding ways to help him channel his energy into the pieces he creates. Thank you Mariia!
