Powered by GoogleAmy is awesome!!! My son and his friends love going there. Amy's got a way of relating to kids in a way they feel appreciated, respected, and enabled. Lots of creativity coming out of Bare Knuckle! We'll keep signing up for Amy's classes!
Great place to take a chance and try something new. You will get encouragement and instruction. You will be surprised and pleased with the results!
Outstanding art classes for children and adults. Bare Knuckle Arts offers a wide variety of creative opportunities. I have loved learning how to make a mosaic, watercolor, acrylics, box making, bracelet making, mixed media.... I even made a Peace pole and did silk scarf marbling. Amy is an inspiring and patient teacher. I can't speak highly enough of her professional teaching style. I have even learned some art history and discovered types of art that I never knew existed. I highly recommend Bare Knuckle Arts. She will even travel to your location and do art parties and lessons.
My daughter has done after-school art classes there for a couple of years and loves it. Amy encourages the kids to get their hands dirty and tackle art projects of all shapes and sizes. A great outlet for my high-energy kid to fully engage with her wacky creative side.
Amy Mietzel is an amazing, supportive teacher that helped me grow as an artist! I recommend going here no matter your experience. If I could give it 6 stars I would!
