5/5
How can I summarize my feelings about Art Abloom in just a few sentences I am deeply grateful for Gabey and what she offers. My son is 5 and has been going in weekly since he was 4. Whatever idea the child has, she will help them execute. We all know how frustrated kids get when doing crafts with their own parents. Send them to Art Abloom! Gabey is truly a professional when it comes to children. She is encouraging and inspiring without patronizing. She magically pushes them towards independence, even if they hit that point of “I can’t do this”, she gets them moving forward. Building confidence! I also think what her students feel and appreciate is that she he has created a place for total creative freedom. At home it’s a lot of “no” you can’t use the glue gun, no you can’t use glitter, no no no. Some examples of projects he’s come home with: a garage for his hot wheels, a mosaic mirror, a portrait of his favorite Pokemon, a homemade leather wallet with little faux credit cards, a necklace for mom. He even used the ceramic wheel and made himself a little “maple syrup dipping bowl” which he’s proud to use at home! The options are endless in her studio! Kids love it.
I always do the drop-in weekly so I’m not committed to any packages. My son has become bonded with Gabey and it’s really sweet. I love when he spends time there. Plus, I get a break! Win/win.
