CAMP!
We take pride in our ability to provide excellent instruction in a nurturing, non - competitive and fun environment. Classes are well supervised, small and structured yet encouraging in creativity and imagination, a balance that often is hard to achieve. Most of our students and campers do return year after year and we take such pleasure in watching their personal growth. Summer Camp here at the studio is cool, comfy, clean and full of artistic fun and learning. Winter Break Camp is warm, clean, cozy and filled with great projects! Spring Break Camp is another opportunity to try our class projects, learn new skills and meet some great campers who share a love of art and creativity. We always welcome new campers and students to become part of our
Artisan Studio family!
Our staff offers a variety of skills from their diverse educational backgrounds: Fashion, Illustration, Marketing, Painting, Photography and Textiles. We use our skills in teaching and performing individual services, such as Home Decor Creations, Fashion Accessories, Murals & Wall Graphics, Origami,

Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the
utmost importance. Our entire staff is committed to meeting those needs
and interests. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from

Testimonials
I hoped to just try something new with my friends so we signed
up for teen classes during the summer.. I have never been able to
draw anything expect a simple flower and stick figures before so I
wanted to learn how to draw. I have always thought drawing was
so interesting, so I decided to try to draw.
Our teacher helped us through every step of the way, from sketching
to drawing, to coloring and shading. Drawing is a very long and
intricate process, but it was very interesting to learn the tricks he
used in his own drawings and the things that he’s learned.
My mom helped me about my learning during this activity. When
I was frustrated in the beginningof the class, she reminded that I
am new at drawing and I had to accept what I was accomplishing.
She showed me that you can’t be great at everything when you’re
just starting. Everything takes practice, and that was what I was
taking the class for.
I was successful, at the end of the day, in achieving my goal to try
something new. I was very proud of my two drawings by the time
I had finished. My creations came out looking great, but I needed
a lot of assistance to get there. I would be interested in taking more
classes, though.
This activity was very valuable to me. I realized how pleasurable
trying new things can be. It made me want to continue learning
about art. I hope to take more classes either during this school year
or again next summer. And, if I got nothing else out of this
experience, I gained two unique drawings to hang up in my room!

I'm writing here (something I never do) to let everyone know what a difference Artisan Studio has made in my life. I'm a transfer student who has decided to add art to my business major and needed to have a portfolio for acceptance to my new school. During this past spring and summer I produced a great portfolio that I was so proud of. This was possible under the guidance and persistance of the owner Marlene, who often pushed me into trying new mediums and subjects that I had been avoiding in the past.
I arrived at school feeling more confisent that I could have, thanks to the classes there. I still have a lot to learn and experience, but I'm looking forward to a career in art and hopefully guided by my business courses too.

My son had a great time during the Macaroni Kid day at the Artisan Studio on November 10th. He has never taken an art class before, and I'm nort sure who was more suprprised - him or myself - when he drew such a great picture! Noww that soccor is over - we're signing him up for classes, he is very excited about this. Great place, very nice staff!
Tracey
This is a late 'thankyou' to Marlene for the great time I had with my friends several months ago. We had a fundraiser LADIES NITE at the Artisan Studio. It wasn't easy to choose but I finally decised on a mosaic project for us. Each one came out more beautiful than the other - from modern to country and anything in between - we all managed to do so well even though we hadn't tried anything like this before. Ladies- try it - it's a lot of fun- be sure to bring goodies to eat and drink!
Andrea
My son just went to a birthday party at this art school - what a great place! Even though he never tried anything artistic before - he had a really fun experience and surprised himself (and me) at how well he did. The project was a cartoon character so he was very happy. The place is really interesting with all kinds of art and crafts all over - very nice staff too!

Great Place to Learn Art: What a pleasure to see your child express his/her self in art. Fantastic self-esteem builder for shy children, and development of a budding "Young Matisse". Children learn multi media, basic drawing, charcoal drawing, pastels and cartooning.The teacher/s form a special connection with each child.
Overall, a fantastic experience for child and parent!!
Susan
Great School: Fantastic art school for kids,teens and adults.
Caring teacher makes a connection with students and nurtures their talent.
Nina
Since my son has been taking one of your art classes, his focus level at school and at home has been noticeably improved. He has also exhibited more patience when dealing with difficult tasks.
I believe your class has helped him learn how to make decisions in a calmer, more rational manner. This has been the first year that I didn't have a battle over homework everyday.
Marilyn
I have been taking adult classes with Marlene at Artisan Studio for a year now and my skill level has improved greatly. I have taken art classes at community college in the past but I have to say that the one on one instruction I have received at Artisan Studio has made a huge difference in my artwork. The minute you walk in the door you know you are entering a fun and creative environment.

Have been meaning to write here for months! We had a fantastic Birthday Party this past November at the Artisan art school. We were looking for something different for our son other than the usual boy activities centered around sports. We brough our 8 year old in to see the place, and to our surprise he loved it! There were a lot of nice projects to choose from and he picked the cartoon project, Perry the Platypus. All the kids loved it - both boys AND girls!
It really is a nice place to be in, clean and very comfortable for the kids and their parents too. We thought the pricing was good and the owner Marlene was very friendly and helpful. The staff is also very nice and helped the kids during the party We especially liked that there was a seperate room for eating where we could decorate as we wanted. We are going to join up for weekly classes in the spring as soon as he gets finished from winter sports. I recommend this place very highly and intend on doing another party - for my daughter next fall!

I have been a student at Artisan Studio since I was eleven years old and continue to take classes there attending the portfolio prep class. The studio is like my second home, and Marlene is like a mother to me as well. Teaching classes there as well as attending has been great and I love every second of it. Marlene does a great job of teaching the fundementals of art and how to develop your skills and become an even better artist. Anyone who enjoys art and wants to learn and improve would love attending classes at Artisan Studio.

We LOVE the Artisan Studio! My kindergartener was having trouble coloring and writing. With Marlene's gentle help and encouragement, he now loves to draw and create art. We've all noticed a huge improvement in not only how he holds his pencil or crayon, but his willingness to color and write and his confidence. Even his teacher at school has commented on the change. My second grader takes classes occasionally - and every time he comes home with a new work of art, he has learned a new technique and shows great improvement which he then incorporates in his school work and drawing at home.
The classes are small and the kids get the individual attention they need. The kids get to try all sorts of art projects. Marlene has such a wonderful way with the kids and the art rooms are such a happy place to be!
Barbara
I would recommend to any child! My seven year old daughter has been going to the Artisan Studio for over one year and still loves it. Miss Marlene is an excellent teacher who is supportive, patient and kind. The kids adore her and so do the parents. I have three of my daughters drawings framed. They are true pieces of art. I would highly recommend The Artisan Studio to all my friends!

I have been a student at Artisan Studio for nine years and couldn't be happier. Marlene is genuinely interested in helping every student learn and grow in every way. Her friendly nature, guiding hand, and the positive environment at Artisan Studio make art class fun and rewarding. I definitely recommend Artisan Studio to anyone who wants to learn and enjoy art.
P.S. The Portfolio Prep class at Artisan Studio is excellent for high school juniors and seniors who plan to apply to art schools and need to submit a portfolio. Marlene has many great ideas and tons of supplies, and will make time for her students to come in and work on their pieces.
