We had my daughter’s birthday with the Art Lab. The only thing she wanted was a pottery party where she got to use the wheel. Maren delivered and she was so patient and kind to our group of 10 kids. We will definitely be back for classes the Art Lab offers.

The Art Lab was amazing. We had 10 kids the age of 9 and they were so focused, creative and excited to create there own dress designs. Jackie taught the class and was so patient with them. This is such a great opportunity for kids to learn and be creative.

If you want a proper art experience and a patient art teacher, Maren's Art Lab is your best choice. I booked a kids birthday party at her art studio and she was so patient and understanding with all my questions, comments and such. We had a 2 hour party for about 14 kids. She had a helper in as well. The studio at the Main squeeze was so spacious and well lit, Kids were placed at a safe distance on each table. She had them start out with decorating goody bags and then introduced tracing the outline, tracing each parts and then gently guiding them towards the painting the colors in. She and her helper did their best to help kids out with the tracing and outlining. She kept the kids very engaged and as the canvas dried she made an air dry clay unicorn horn with them. Of course every 6 year old wants to put various colored crystals on their unicorn horns! As everything was drying she did a small song/dance party for the kids. The goody bags were filled with candies and cute stuff. My daughter loved her birthday party and her friends enjoyed it as well. Highly recommend this place for any kind of art parties and seeing how patient of a teacher she is, if you are inclined towards art classes, she would be a great choice.

Love the Art Lab! I've attended classes with my kids and with my daughter's girl scout troop. The instructors are knowledgeable, the classes are fun and great for kids. The kids get to do fun art projects (painting, clay, fairy gardens!) led by patient artist/teachers, and the mess gets left at studio! :)
