My 10-year-old daughter (Evette) and I had an amazing time at our art class! Evette loves art and she absolutely loved the painting lesson. I'm a lawyer with a lopsided analytical brain with barely any creative experience... and I absolutely loved the experience too. While painting, it was like my mind was unplugged from work or life stress. Laura was an excellent teacher, patient, encouraging and insightful. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

My friend and I wanted to try something new and tap into our creative sides. This was the perfect way to do that! Whether you are a a complete beginner or have some experience, it will be fun. Laura is very patient and knowledgeable. She breaks the painting down into manageable steps and teaches some cool techniques. I learned a lot and left with a piece that I genuinely love 🖼️ 💜

My teacher was Laura. This little shop is nestled in the old Santa Fe Market building. Designed by hippies in the 1960, the shop is full of color and life. Laura is such a talented teacher. She knows how to organize classes so even if you do not think of yourself as an artist, you will create something beautiful. She makes suggestions, but accepts you may not take them. She is a MASTER ART TEACHER! I learned so much. Thank you Laura!
Amazing fun time.

What a welcoming and positive space to create art in. Delicious refreshments were provided and although we were carefully guided through our paintings, there was enough freedom for everyone to pursue their unique creative inspiration. I have no painting experience and left with a finished canvas that I've very happy with. Can't wait to try another class!

Highly recommend these folks to visitors and locals both. My wife and I are local to Santa Fe. We took Laura and Mickey's "Mimosas and Masterpieces" class. I was a complete beginner, my wife a bit more experienced. Laura and Mickey are great teachers. They were patient with a beginner, and highly creative. This isn't a cheesy 'drink and paint' class - by the time we were done, we both had paintings we are happy to hang up and show off. The mimosas were good also... The photo below was from the Colorful Pet Portraits with Mickey Bond. She taught us a few different ways to use mixed media and photo transfers to create those paintings.
