art-K Reviews 

My daughter is 7 and going to Art K is the highlight of her week. Not only is she becoming more confident in her artistic ability but her confidence with meeting and mixing with a children outside of school has also drastically improved too. Claire is popular with the children and is running a fab local art group!

Our daughter Sidney is really thriving in her creativity and self confidence since starting classes. Aileen is very warm and nurturing. A lovely creative environment for young minds

We recently celebrated my daughters 11th birthday at Artk Oxford, and it was a fantastic experience! The kids had a wonderful time painting their own tote bags, and the atmosphere was both creative and fun. The staff were friendly, attentive, and kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommended for a unique and memorable party!

Good teachers and good atmosphere, your kids must enjoy to have a art lesson in here!

Mr. LI

We had the most wonderful art party for our child. The tutor was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, making every child feel comfortable and included. Her warm and friendly nature created such a lovely atmosphere, and she inspired the children to be creative and have fun. The party was beautifully organised, engaging from start to finish, and the children were so proud of the artwork they created. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special and memorable children's art party. Thank you for making the day so enjoyable!

My son is an avid artist, very creative and quite skilled x he is on a reduced school timetable so I wanted to find a class or group to nurture his talent and eagerness to draw, to give him time away from screens and enhance the skills he has. We attend Smithdown and Bella is such a kind and patient soul, communication and support has been amazing from the first contact, and my son looks forward to his art class, highlight of his week x thanks so much!

My son started art classes a few weeks ago. Being a teenager, he was a bit hesitant at first and wasn't sure if the professional level would actually interest him. From the very first moment, communication with the staff was positive, clear, and fast. We went for a trial session which was very successful. My son is very happy—not only with the professionalism and the new artistic tools he’s acquiring, but also because he’s met some new friends who share his interests.

My 8 year old daughter attended the half term workshops for the first time in May. Gee was super welcoming and friendly, the studio is nurturing and creative with an impressive range of artistic activities that my daughter loved. 💖 After a taster session she wanted to go the next day, for the whole day! We will definitely be booking for the summer holidays. Such a great alternative to the usual holiday club mayhem 😅 to enable more introverted, arty kids to express themselves and make friends. Thank you 💗

Emily is a fab artist/ teacher. She gets to know your child and inspires the artist in them. My daughter is growing in confidence and really enjoys Art-K. Emily and her team keep me regularly updated in-person and via text where needed; they also give my daughter lots of positive reinforcement and recognition of her progress.

The studio is fun, artistic and appropriate for the children. My daughter loves it at Art-K. She gets to bring her work home once completed and takes great pride in it.

I’ve got nothing but positives to say!

A fantastic art studio with friendly and inspiring teachers. My daughter loves attending classes at Art-K Bowes Park and has grown in both confidence and artistic ability. The staff are supportive, encouraging, and create a wonderful environment for children to be creative. Highly recommended!

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.

I have been coming to adult classes for some time now. It is something I look forward to each week. Jess is an excellent teacher, always on hand to encourage & give advice. There are so many choices of art to experience & enjoy. The group is friendly & very supportive.

My daughter loves going to Art-K in Fulham. She always comes out very happy. The staff are friendly and helpful. Most important they do a great variety of creative art. :)

I have really enjoyed the adult art classes I have attended. There is support when you need it and it is so friendly. Would recommend to anyone who wants to refresh their skills or learn new ones.

I began going to Art -K Shipley round about Easter - very nervous after a lifetime of believing that ‘I can’t do art’. From the word go it has been a really positive experience. The lovely tutor G listened to my fears and my interest and gently helped me start exploring the scary thing of actually putting pencil and paint to paper! She creates a lovely atmosphere that makes this a highlight of my week! I’m happy to be gaining confidence and learning some skills and having FUN!

Never too old!

My son's art classes have been an absolute blessing. When he first started, he had little interest in colouring or art activities, but now he's excited to explore clay work, painting, colouring, mixing, and blending. Watching his creativity grow has been amazing his creative mind has truly been awakened.

What I love most is that this class is about so much more than creating beautiful artwork. Art helps children build confidence, express themselves, develop patience, and think creatively. I've seen all of these benefits in my son, and it's been wonderful to watch him flourish.

A huge part of this is thanks to Emily. Her passion for teaching shines through in everything she does. She is welcoming, patient, funny, and genuinely cares about every child. Because of her, there isn't a single day my son wants to miss class. She has helped him come out of his shell and gain confidence in himself and his abilities.

I honestly wouldn't change a thing about this class. If you're looking for an art programme that nurtures creativity, confidence, and self-expression, I highly recommend it. Emily has created something truly special, and we are so grateful to be part of it.

We have finally found a club my son enjoys! This is a lovely, welcoming, calm environment for those who prefer a quieter activity. Jasmine is incredibly nurturing and Jude is so helpful at encouraging my son. The quality of the art pieces the children produce is amazing! Every child works on their own projects so there isn’t any comparison or pressure. They really learn technique and skill here in this quiet haven. They also have fun little quizzes and games so it’s not all concentrated art time. It’s lovely.

Our 6 year old son absolutely loves coming to Art K every school holiday for the workshops. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, making every visit a great experience. Highly recommend for any families looking for something fun and creative for the kids!

Our two girls absolutely loved Gee’s May half-term art club at art-K! The range and quality of artwork they produced over the sessions was incredible, and they came home each day excited to show us what they had created.

Gee was fantastic with the children – patient, kind, encouraging, and clearly passionate about helping them develop their creativity and confidence. She created such a welcoming and supportive environment that our girls looked forward to every session.

We were genuinely amazed by what they achieved in just a few days and can’t recommend the club highly enough. We’re already eagerly waiting for the summer camp dates to be released!

Daughter loved her half term class. It was her first ever session and she really enjoyed it & looking forward to going to term time classes. Her art work was beautiful and she said the teacher was very encouraging and understanding - Thankyou
