  • 5/5 from Luka Ursic, attended Oct 2025: Frida Kahlo class was great. Enjoyed the 20min intro to the artist and her work before we received tips on painting and started doing it ourselves. Redeeming the gift card was very easy.
  • 5/5 from Dana Micheli, attended Nov 2024: The class was great fun! The teachers were engaging and encouraging. I would definitely take another class with them.
