I love Art Retreat! I always surprise myself with how much I enjoy the things I make there. Lala is the owner, and she makes me feel more than welcome. My 9 year old has come as well and he worked in a focused and joyful way for an hour and a half. Everyone who comes to class is accepting and kind.

Dirty studio, loud owner, her laugh is so loud it’s crazy, talks toooooooo much, you can’t focus, thinks she’s too funny, her classes are so boring… Very disappointing…
