★★★★★Anneline SmalWe’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences at the New Art Center in Newton—from their fantastic children’s camps to their excellent adult classes. I especially loved my last painting class there, and I’m so excited for my upcoming ceramics class!
★★★★ArrecisWe have been taking art classes here for sometime. Happy with classes ! Children are able to learn techniques and express themselves beautifully. Marte is fantastic always so helpful!
★★★★★Lilian WangFor my daughter's birthday she wanted Top Shelf Cookies. So many amazing flavors; it's hard to pick just a few so we went home with 30! Cookies are freshly baked so they are soft and chewy.
★Christine NogueiraWe just just finished the Teen Vacation Camp 2/20, basically Arts & Crafts in Sunday School. Kid reported spending one morning watching Netflix on the cell phone (free at home), found the program boring and didn’t want to finish it. The projects were mostly paper based, with inspired techniques like a eight Fruit Loops glued to a small canvas. Minimal throwing for ceramics, one session or so. Lunches in Newtonville were reportedly nice. I wish I had given the $375 to medical research instead.
★★★★★Scott SutherlandGreat place! My son has really enjoyed the pottery class. We would definitely sign up for another.
