Art Studio Blue Giraffe: what do users think?

Loushnikova Ekaterina: We had a wonderful painting class this Saturday and we are going to go for felting class to do wool painting, water coloring and to have intellectual discussion during a session. I is perfect for weekend to spend time with your friends doing art projects and to have some drinks. I recommend to call in advance to figure out available time

Eugene G: This review is for the Germantown location. This school is a great school for learning and practicing the Russian language as well as math, also with an excellent art program. The teachers are very kind and knowledgeable. It’s competitively priced and I highly recommend.

The Children's Art Studio: what do users think?

Ernest Fischer: My daughter has been in the toddler class for over a year now and has really enjoyed it. She has done a huge number of projects and my wife and I have loved seeing what’s new each week. I think the instructor does a great job of planning and organizing.

Joelle Ziemian: My daughter attended a one-day class and it was disappointing, given the high cost ($95 for 5 hours). The instructors were very young - and although the kids did a lot of activities, it was not serious; more like crafts than art. Some of the attendees were really badly behaved and completely uninterested. This is probably for children closer to 5 or 6 than 8 or 9.

Mary Galeti: Our daughter loved the classes and we loved the art projects that came home. Nicole was a wonderful teacher!

Rhizome DC - Art Learning DIY Culture: what do users think?

Yoda Vader: This is a way cool place for unadulterated art and music. I was really surprised by the intimacy and kindness of everyone — from the artists and the host. Looking forward to future events and a chance to collaborate.

Christine Paluch: This is a converted house that is a community arts space. This is one of the best Avant Garde and Experimental music venues in the country, and also has art and installations on the upper floor. If you are interested in listening to free jazz, free improvisation, electronic experimental soundscapes, and even the occasional punk band, there is no better venue in DC. The shows are almost all intimate, and there is a community vibe. But you will also meet and see some of the central figures in DC music past and present. In a few short years this has become one of the most important venues in DC. A community art space, meets one of the leading places to see avant garde music in America. Highly recommended if one is in DC.

Scott Gilkeson: funky, eclectic, never know what you will find--but has an amazing draw and some very fine performers/artists; sponsored an American Primitive guitar festival, a tribute to John Fahey and others, that drew performers and audience from around the world

Janice Temple: Loved the Capital Bop event at RhizomeDC. They served vegan taco cauliflower lentils, kombucha, beer and wine with great experiential jazz. The first set we listened 👌 to Keith Bulter Trio with Abe Mamet on the French Horn. Amazing jazz sounds.

Adam Mele: What can be said that can’t be said. CVSes and Walgreens, those places are fine. They’ve got good selections of Twizzlers and oftentimes still sell those disposable cameras (though it’s unclear where you get the pictures developed). However, sometimes we need other things in life that those stores don’t provide. Futons, for example. And the freedom inherent in the creative process. Rhizome has the latter, with which I can employ to create the former. I’m good in terms of couches right now, but inspiration, well, in the parlance of the current times we live in, ‘filler up!’

Benjamin Gutman: Great place to learn, see and do pottery. Classes. Gallery. Studio space. All excellent. And friendly and knowledgeable community.

Ursula Indacochea: My son loves it, he has found here a space to explore is creativity. He comes back home talking about Picasso or Matisse and asking me to show him more of their paintings :)

Kandace Gilligan: Little Loft is a magical little place where young minds can explore their creative side with the perfect balance of freedom and structure. My 6-year-old-daughter loves her time there. The space is beautiful and the lessons and activities are thoughtful and inclusive. We have had several of her art projects professionally matted and framed. The open minds and hearts of the staff shine through -- you can see in her portfolio that she brings home at the end of the session how much care is put into their program. We love Little Loft!

Grow Wild: Little Loft has been my daughters favorite summer camp. Great mix of art, play, and reading time. Kind and friendly vibe, will be going back!

AR Workshop Alexandria: what do users think?

Samreen Rizvi: My girls absolutely loved the 4 day art camp! They made 6 projects in total - all stunning pieces of art work!

Rhea Rossi: I had a wonderful time here! I missed my original date that was scheduled with friends and they were great about rescheduling my workshop. Even though I went by myself I had a great time! I also love there little shop in the front! I bought a beautiful necklace that I love! I would definitely recommend having a date or party here! There was an adorable couple painting signs for their wedding, a fun group of ladies just having an afternoon together, and a teen birthday party. Everyone was having fun!

Hannah Wise: I visited AR Workshop Alexandria with a bachelorette party and had an awesome time. The staff was friendly, helpful and very well prepared. Everyone in the group left with a project they loved and enjoyed the experience. This is the perfect activity for all occasions!

Carlie Traylor: I just visited for the 3rd time and had an absolute blast. The projects I make get so many compliments from my guests and I have the best time creating them. Highly recommend!

a clarke: What Fun! The instructors were hands-on & gave great suggestions. Awesome project selections. Made an amateur look like an artist. Highly recommend for you; even better with a group.

Kerry Rojas: Another great experience at AR Workshop Alexandria! I attended a small group party and all safety protocols due to COVID were observed by the shop. Katie, the owner, and two of the employees were there and they were all wonderful, not only in helping us with our projects, but just to chat with while we worked! I made a gorgeous (if I do say so myself) large Christmas Lazy Susan) and got tons of stocking stuffers for the fam in the cute shop. Maybe I also got something for myself. I highly recommend AR Workshop Alexandria and will definitely be back.

April S: This is an amazing local shop! My daughter and I have been to multiple events and have enjoyed their DIY kits in this new stay-at-home world. The owner is engaged with the local community and always giving back and participating in community events. The staff are helpful, fun, and truly care about the experience they are making for the customers. This is a true gem of a shop in Old Town. ❤️

Pam DeNunzio: AR Workshop Alexandria is AMAZING! I have never been to such an up-scale and unique DIY studio. The staff is great and the quality and selection of projects is exceptional. You actually get to sand the wood, stain it and then you do your design which the owner, Katie, custom makes for you. The end product is gorgeous! Katie offers seasonal promos and encourages groups and kids to attend as well. Check it out! You will be hooked.

Maggie Williams: Critical: Communication, Professionalism, QualityClasses are a hit or a miss. A bit unprofessional as there was poor communication . Go to the workhouse art center in Lorton if you are looking for art classes.

B W: I absolutely love this school! I am moving soon and will greatly miss the instructors and even the new friends I’ve made. The instructors are very patient and are passionate about teaching. I have learned so much from attending workshops and several 9 week courses!! I wished I could pick the school up and move it to my new dwelling place, but since I can’t, I will leave an awesome review :) To all the instructors, Thank You! Thank you for giving of your time and knowledge to us the students! We are better artists of all kind because of you! I can only speak for myself, but I grew by leaps and bounds in my craft from being connected to this school! I am ever so thankful for the brilliant mind who was blessed by God to start this school years ago. The education I have received was just as good or better than paying high priced tuition at a university. I pray nothing but continued blessings upon this institution!

Nabil Elhalawany: I am a medical Dr. interested in Art.

Latrina Proctor-Jones: Luv Art all forms...😀

Norraine Miller, MS: Really enjoy the visit

Nicky: Great Institute

Washington Glass School: what do users think?

alex Ivanitsky: I recently took the intro to welding class and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to see what welding is all about. It is the perfect mix of information and first hand experience that has you starting to weld the first day. Erwin is a friendly and knowledgable teacher who explains concepts well and provides materials for you to continue to learn on your own. Enjoyed the class, well worth the cost. It has given me the confidence to buy my own welder and continue to learn.

Katie McKenzie: The MIG welding class with Erwin was a blast. After easing into the basics on your first day, you’re walking home with a finished project after your third class. They also offer studio hours, so once you take the class and want more time to weld, you can plan time to visit and use the studio.

Heidi Pendergast: I took the 3 day MIG welding class and it was fantastic. I had no experience welding prior to this class, but after getting some information the first day, we jumped in and started to weld. Erwin (the teacher) also provided info and suggestions on tools to get started as a novice. You also finish a small project by the third class. Highly recommend this school and this class.

Max Holtzman: Positive: Communication, Professionalism, ValueI took the MIG welding class with Erwin. Great teacher and a lot of fun. I knew nothing about welding before I started and now have a sold background of information to keep getting better.

M McNaughton: Great class. Highly recommend. After 3rd class familiar w MiG welding w gas and without and plasma cutter. Erwin is an excellent instructor!

Jason Carvalho: Took a beginners welding class here that was awesome. Erwin, Audrey and other assistants are all super knowledgeable and you come away with a cool little project at the end of week 3. All materials and equipment are provided.

Sitar Arts Center: what do users think?

LEYDI JOHANNA MENDEZ SALINAS: There is no clear communication between the Sitar Staff towards the families, I registered my children on March 29 for the summer camp and informed them that due to religion their father does not authorize the vaccine against covid, after a few minutes the response from them was that YES they would accept the children but with a note written by the pediatrician. I did everything they asked me, I paid on time and after more than a month they called me and told me that they will NOT accept my children and was wrong in the communication because they have not been vaccinated, in this place they DISCRIMINATE children and families who think differently from the other people, the Director only thought that giving me back the money would solve everything, my children were already excited to start the camp but Sitar did not care about any of this and removed them from the camp.

Hamza Khan: An amazing space with the potential to better understanding for a better world. As I sit here, speaking to the young professionals I trust will help change our world, I see the energy of this place fill everyone with an excitement and ambition to be change agents. This year, Sitar hosted TEDx AdamsMorgan. Check them out: @TEDxAdamsMorgan

Brenda Robinson: Excellent organization that provides outstanding theatrical and artistic opportunities for young people. Tony award recognition for this great organization.

Maria Clayton: Balloons! (ESTONIA) Kids Euro Festival

Arthur Wells: A very culturally diverse learning facility, giving young people an opportunity to express themselves and expand on their God given talents!

Karen Burton Jackson: Great arts school and the staff are talented and well educated ppl. Great place for after school and summer programs.

mabel h: Wonderful place for kids. They are so personable, make you feel that they care

M Institute for the Arts: what do users think?

Ivan Tadeu: This is a great place! I was in need of formal cello classes as an adult learner and found this very engaging but unpretentious place where I did not feel intimidated or negatively challenged to do my best. The general approach for teaching music feels accessible and very didactic, and teachers are very approachable and polite and professional. Everyone seems to work towards to a common goal of inspiring people into artistic endeavor, and regardless individual goals that may vary among different students, the approach is based on respecting the needs of individual students who range in different ages and in their time constrains to dedicate to classes. I am in my second semester and happy to support this business. My cello teacher is simply phenomenal. Other teachers are great lecturers so far. And the owner is a competent, hands-on, hard working, engaging music teacher who values students not only as costumers but as potential artists who may carry the name of this institute with them in the future. It has been such a great experience and I am happy and grateful that I can make the most of it.

Sophie Washington: I can’t say enough good things about M Institute. My lessons are amazing and the people who work here are just lovely. I’ve met so many new friends at their music events and through the semester program and have had the best teachers EVER! I really love that they offer workshops and masterclasses for all levels and that I get to learn from multiple teachers not just about my instrument, but about music as a whole, such as listening for textures and learning what an exposition is. The facility is also really quaint in an old Georgetown rowhouse with a beautiful patio for receiptions and some really nice acoustic pianos in most of the rooms. Online bookings are also a favorite of mine, they even have an app! Can’t recommend M Institute enough!

Andrew Margrave: As the piano technician for M4Arts, I have had much interaction with Susanna, all of it very positive. Last night there was a superb master class at the school. The instructors were world-class pianist Thomas Pandolfi, cellist Emma Johnson, and Metropolitan Opera soprano Tracy Cox. Mr. Pandolfi worked with two pianists. Emma counseled a violinist and a cellist, while Tracy, like the other two teachers, showed vast pedagogical skills as she helped four sopranos and a baritone. In addition, she sang beautifully while demonstrating. Mr. Pandolfi closed the whole wonderful evening with a magnificent and magisterial performance of three Chopin etudes, the "Revolutionary", the "Aeolian Harp", and the "Ocean".

Austin Salley: I had a fantastic voice lesson with Thomas. He took the time in the beginning of the lesson to understand my goals and clarify the best path to take for the lesson. He was collaborative throughout the lesson and got me to think about the physicality of my instrument which helped to improve the consistency of the sound. I thought the lesson was well worth it and would highly recommend the M Institute.

Zachary Dittami: Hello everyone. I thought it important to share an experience I had today. Susanna dismissed my voice teacher and I from the program, after listening in carefully on our conversation through a recording device in the main performance room. On top of being rude and overcharging me throughout the semester, this is a huge privacy issue for me. Please be completely careful as to what you say during lessons - she is listening and capable of terminating your semester program with no possibility of refund. Because my instructor was hearing me out on my complaints about payment, she dismissed him from his duties entirely and will be “consulting her attorney” about his breach of contract. This has been a scary experience to say the least.. I would not recommend anyone to take lessons here.

Akane Vallery Uchida: Used the $75 7-Day Visitor Guest Pass which gives access from 7am to 10pm to all the practice rooms on a first come first served basis. I was pretty much alone throughout the morning and maximised my time on that excellent Kawaii baby grand. Great location with easy access from Dupont Circle station. A bargain if you have enough time to maximise on that offer!
