“My two children attended camp at SBAD for one week during the summer. My biggest regret was not booking more weeks.
My son, aged 5 (who I was worried wouldn’t be able to sit still), learnt so much about different artistic methods. SBAD focus on a different topic/theme each day so the children have plenty of time to be creative and really think about what they would like to make.
My daughter, aged 7 loved going each day and came home with some stunning pieces of art. She also LOVED the teachers who are not only skilled artistically, but are genuinely kind people who make all the children feel welcome and at home.
This is the only camp (ever!) that my son and daughter have attended and been very grumpy that I only booked one week! Needless to say, we will be returning for the Thanksgiving camp!”

“If you’re looking for art classes that can have a big impact on your work, this may be your best little discovery. I came to this local studio 5 years ago. I was not a painter and couldn’t mix the same colors with any real confidence. Now, I can’t imagine life without painting. Terri is a fantastic teacher - in unassuming ways, she gently pushes the paint to bring out the best in you. I’ve seen her in action with students of every ability and inclination. Steadily, through astute observation and personal guidance, she works to nurture each individual’s creative practice.”

“The SBAD has exceeded our family expectations! A year ago we were just looking for an art studio to take our 6yr old girl to art classes. We picked this studio simply because it was close to our house. However, we have been pleasantly surprised on how professional, loving and talented they are! Our daughter loves the classes and looks forward to them every week. This place has definitely inspire her art in so many ways! I would also highlight how respectful and sensitive they have been during these pas difficult months. My girl has not stopped creating art for one day despite the situation we are living thanks to the Studio and Sarah, her amazing teacher that inspires her everyday.”

“Not only are the instructors here incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and fun, but there is a real sense of community amongst the students and painters who come here. It’s become my home away from home!”
