Here are some of the comments we have received from our post-workshop evaluations.
At Artelier Studios we are proud of the welcoming space and our talented and welcoming instructors. We also appreciate it when we receive positive feedback about our patrons’ experiences at Artelier Studios. We invite you to check often for classes that can introduce artists to a variety of mediums, or help hone skills in a chosen medium.
“Oksana is the best – always pushing me to do my best. Has a great eye and makes good recommendations. She also takes interest in your project which is really important. Gets around to all students as best she can.”

“Shelly was clear, concise, and presented at a good pace. She circulated and was communicative. I would recommend her, especially for new people. She does not intimidate in any way.”
“It was not crowded and the instructor had time to circulate and communicate with everyone… A very relaxed atmosphere and an interesting cross-section of experience.”

“David was a kind and patient instructor and provided very good advice for a new-to-pastels student such as me. I was very nervous to do this class because I think some more experienced art students signed up for it, but I’m glad I did it. I learned a lot and settled in comfortably after a bit. I even ended up taking home a piece of art that I’m very proud of! David is patient, kind, has a very good eye for drawing, and is attentive to your progress. He always asks if he can show you how to do something and does not snatch things out of your hand like I’ve had other instructors do. I enjoyed his laid back but attentive teaching style and look forward to more of his classes. I look forward to seeing more pastel workshops added to the class schedule!”

“Seating was well spaced out, (the) model was really excellent, getting a chance to try new paper in the middle was an amazing treat, the music playlist 10/10, the class atmosphere felt nice and easy, and I enjoyed the freedom of being able to use whatever medium was oddly liberating since so many classes are very instructional! Though very quickly in the class I realized I was incredibly rusty and in over my head!! I would definitely enjoy some direction in the near future but then to have this kind of broad, open opportunity to practice again would be an amazing one-two combination!”
