★★★★★Gnat ThomsonI booked a private birthday party for my friends 25th birthday and it was spectacular. We were able to pick our medium and subject ahead of time, and then Lauren really took care of the rest making the whole event run seamlessly. Everyone got to take home their artwork and the birthday girl said it was one of her favorite birthday parties ever.
★★★★★Joni GainesI moved to Fort Wayne several months ago and googled art classes to find my people. Lauren did not disappoint! I took a needle felting class to learn how to make a penguin. He is crooked and missing his eyes because I ran out of time, but he is so loved! Not only is Lauren a great host, but the other people in the class were also so fun to get to know!
★★★★★Rachel HortonI don’t consider myself even remotely artistic, but I had a blast taking a drawing class here!! Lauren is such a great teacher, and the space itself is gorgeous.
★★★★★Darcy LugoLauren is an excellent artist, and an even better person. Her studio is clean, warm, and inviting. She offers a variety of activities, art styles, and outside artists, making it fun for anyone. I did the felting class, and had never done anything like it before. It was so much fun to work on the craft, and talk with others. The instruction is clear, and Lauren proves that anyone can be an artist!
★★★★★C RobertsI am an official fan! Lauren is a fabulous teacher who provided useful insights and tips. Every week, she brought fresh ideas and techniques. I highly recommend the Fort Wayne School of Art to everyone at every level who wants to improve their art skills.
