★★★★★Tracy BramlettMy son is going on his 5th session there and I can't say enough good things! Sam, the director is amazing! She goes above and beyond. My son really enjoyed his mini Monet class along with his sculpting class. His favorite class by far though, is sewing!
★★★★★K JohnsonMy son has attended Creative Artistry for the past two years and the director, Amber Larsen, has pulled absolute and utter magic out of his hands. Every time he brings home a project we are completely amazed and bewildered that he could be guided to such amazing artistic heights. This has been such a wonderful enriching experience for my son. His esteem and love of art have been greatly enhance by attending this school. And I have to mention the awesome summer camps that are also available ! They are complete fun and lots of "work" gets done while the kids have a blast with Miss Amber. This Center is truly a gem in the Crystal Lake area.
★★★★★Debbie CohenMy children have been attending art classes at Creative Artistry for almost 2 years. They enjoy it very much. The instructors always work closely with them, give them ideas and teach them different techniques. A few times a year they also get to be in an art show to showcase their work. This is a wonderful experience.
★★★★★Janet StiffMy daughter has been attending art classes at Creative Artistry for the past four years and she loves it. Amber has really worked with her and helped her in so many areas, just as my daughter has grown so has her art. Amber really takes her time with each and every student. There are classes for kids of all ages. We have recommended this art studio to a lot of our friends and they all love it too.
