The Bean and Belle

★★★★★Hillary Wolf

Ms.Jen is 10/10! My child has been taking art classes at The Bean and Belle for two consecutive years and has even joined for summer camp. Art class has vastly improved my child’s confidence as both an artist and the ability to be independent outside of school. My child has learned artistic concepts and has even shown ME how to draw certain things. I highly recommend Ms.Jen’s class to any parent whose kiddo has an artistic interest. I have been wowed every time my child brings home a piece of art, and we proudly display each piece in our home. I even have some pieces in frame of my remote work setup that colleagues have complimented me on. I can take no credit of course, I simply feel lucky that we found The Bean and Belle and that my child feels it’s a creative and safe space to be in. (Picture of my child’s most recent creation) ✨

We love Jen! Her passion for art & love for children is evident! My kids have been taking classes here for years & absolutely love it! Jen is gentle & kind & creative & accommodating & gracious to all kinds of children. We also love the location & atmosphere of The Bean & Belle! It’s such a sweet place! My daughters have told me that Ms. Jen is one of their favorite teachers! From classes, to art camps, to birthday parties, I highly recommend The Bean & Belle! Such a blessing & gift to the community of Waxhaw! 💛

Our family absolutely LOVES The Bean and Belle!! My kids have been going for years, and have even had birthday parties there. Miss Jen is so fun and so sweet. She is the absolutely BEST teacher, and makes each kid feel so special and loved. My kids are super excited to go every week, and it has been so awesome to watch their artistic talent grow each year. The projects are fun, creative, thoughtful, and engaging. I highly highly The Bean and Belle. :)

The Bean and Belle is gem in Waxhaw! The amount of love that Jen, Ed and their girls pour into our kids every time they walk through the door is so refreshing. We are greeted everyday with a smile and a hug. When we first showed interest in starting classes for our son, Jen listened to my concerns about the events in our lives that had started to push my son away from art and being creative. She offered to met with us before signing up for classes and allowed us to get a feel for the space and just who she is. I can’t ever thank her enough for reigniting the creative spark in my son! They also encourage children to put their own spin on each and every art project they work on. No two pieces will be the same! The fact that they allow students to make suggestions for different projects and share whose idea it is to the class also brings the kids closer! We are so grateful to have found this art studio and always highly recommend it to all our friends!

Cannot recommend highly enough. I’m not sure where we’d be without Bean and Belle! My kids love Ms. Jen, Mr. Ed, and the entire space so much. It’s such a struggle finding that unique space where kids know with absolute certainty they can be themselves with no anxiety. I can’t imagine the effort and time it takes to provide that love and care to so many kids. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being that space for us!
