My granddaughter Angelina always has an amazing experience at Vinings Art whenever she is visiting me ! The owner is amazing. Beautiful heart and shows all the kids much love. !!
My elementary school daughter is especially into arts and crafts, and Vinings School of Art provided an amazing camp experience this week! They are one of the few camps operating for the short holiday week, which came in handy for us as working parents. Dropoff was seamless, the teachers seem friendly and attentive, and my daughter describes the new skills she's applied each day with excitement. I appreciate that they keep the door locked and secure when it's not designated pickup or dropoff time. A gem in the Smyrna/Vinings area!
Thank you! We enjoyed having your daughter in our camp!
My grandchild and I arrived 15 mins early for the 10 am class. As we signed in, the woman ( possibly the owner) at the front counter was indifferent…no greeting. At 10 am, she mispronounced names from the sign in sheet when preparing for class. Instead of children being seated by 10 for the 10 am class, they were still in the waiting area being given the choice to paint or do a project. Then they were directed to the specified classroom. My grandchild chose to do a project. At 11 o’clock I walked into the classroom to find an unfinished project which I helped her to complete. Two sisters, sitting across from her, were awaiting paint brushes so they could finish the project…not enough supplies for 7 children. When situated in the car, I asked if she enjoyed the class. She said it was okay but did not want to come again.
Hi Sharon, I'm sorry you feel this way. Please call me because I have a lovely picture of your grandchild in our class! Your grandchild painted the little wood fox and 3 snowy white pine cones and then set all of her painted items in plaster of Paris! After the plaster dried, your grandchild painted the base of this 3 dimensional art project in a gold color and it made a nice Thanksgiving table decoration! We only teach that once a year for Thanksgiving. We didn't run out of paint brushes....the 2 sisters were waiting for their plaster to dry, so we didn't give them a paint brush until their plaster was dry enough to paint in the gold color. Can you call me at 678-213-4278 about the Thanksgiving Art Class?
The Vinnings School of Art is truly a hidden gem! We couldn't be happier with our experience here. The value for your money is unbeatable and the prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the quality of instruction and all the materials that are included. I would very highly recommend!
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon on a future Saturday morning!
Awesome 👍
Thank you!
Our daughter loves the Arts and asked to attend 2 classes on Saturdays. Excellent program where she's learning to draw, paint, and create her own art. Great staff and flexible schedules available where we can drop in on Saturdays.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Vinings Art School with my daughter, and I am beyond impressed! Even though it was almost closing time, the owner graciously welcomed us and, on the fly, set up an art class just for my daughter. Her kindness and dedication to ensuring my daughter had a memorable experience were truly remarkable. She guided my daughter through a creative and engaging art project with such care and patience. It’s rare to find a place where children are so thoughtfully nurtured and encouraged in their creativity. We’ll definitely be back for future camps and art classes. Vinings Art School is a gem!
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Our regular classes are every Saturday at 10am if you want to join us again!
My son attended their summer camp for 2 weeks. He really enjoyed it and his father and I were very impressed with the art work he brought home at the end of the week. Also, the staff here is very kind and communicative.
Kara and the staff are awesome! We just started attending the school this Monday (7/14) and we were hesitant initially. After day 1, our daughter enjoyed what she had learned and the staff made us feel whole also. But, Kara helped us a lot. Welcoming a new baby soon has our schedules thrown off and Kara has been extremely accommodating and generous with us. Not only is the program fun for our daughter, but the staff makes it fun for the adults. I would recommend the school. We will be attending throughout the school year too. Can't wait to see the future growth with the program.
Thank you for your kind words, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
This is my son's first time going to camp with Vinings school of Art. When I first saw the price, I was a little apprehensive. My son has come home from camp every single day excited about what he has learned and done at camp. He feels very supported and excited about the time he is at this camp. The teachers really listen to the kids, support them, give them feedback and brag on them to their parents! That alone more than accounts for the cost of the week! But then my son has brought home some fantastic art pieces he created that are on real canvases and they have used real art supplies (good paint, pastels, etc). The cost of the camp is MORE than reasonable for what you get. I am so excited that my son has found a camp that he enjoys so much and feels like he is uncovering a talent he can work on. Ms. Cara is the absolute best and has great communication with the parents, making the week very smooth. I am signing him up for another week next month!
