  • Outstanding class, highly customized to my level of understanding (which was not much) and my interests in this form of art. Clau did an amazing job and was incredibly patient. Absolutely would take this again.
  • Lots of fun. Very well organized.
  • Had an amazing experience finally getting taking the figure drawing class, the moderator was super attentive, love the ambience and opportunity to have this art outlet after work.
  • Wonderful introduction to drawing for a beginner. Eddie spent individual time instructing me at my level and also gave plenty of time on my own to try things out. He was also working with other more advanced students.
  • Junko was a wealth of knowledge and super patient and kind. The class was really amazing and I learned a lot of techniques and history of the Nageire style. I will definitely be back to take more of her classes!
  • I’ve been looking for a stone carving class for a while. I’m so glad I found this one. First, the Compleat Sculpture is an amazing place.The entire staff is so nice and knowledgeable. The quarry took my breath away. My teacher Alex is amazing. I learned so much the first day about the nuances of each tool. He helped me every step. He’s so knowledgeable and kind. I love my class . I can’t recommend Alex enough.
  • I really enjoyed the paper making class at ArtsClub. It was well organized with all the materials and it was easy to follow the instructor.
  • Lovely vibe as always
  • TEST review (staff), photos pipeline check
  • Excellent class. The teacher was great at explaining the steps and was very knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend this class to anyone trying to familiarize themselves with the basics of woodworking.
  • Love my new skirt! The class was very well organized with a paper guide. Emily the teacher was excellent- super thorough, knowledgeable and patient. Will definitely take another class with her as well as at the site. Love all the cute craft kits and supplies there. Can't wait for my next craft adventure.
  • Really enjoyable class and easy to follow along. Great to take home a piece of artwork too!
  • Mindfulness Zen Weaving Circle

    Lovely class! Couldn't believe how easy, relaxing, and satisfying it was!
  • so fun!! had a great time and learned a lot
  • Decorus Atelier and James, the founder and lead instructor, were fantastic. I’m just beginning my creative journey and have very little experience, but this introductory course was practical, filled with interesting tidbits, and accessible enough for me to learn real techniques. The class size was intimate and moved at my own pace which worked really well for the way my brain processes information. I felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone else. Highly recommend!
  • Great choices of galleries and lots of insights
  • Great class! Our instructors were helpful, we quickly learned to make our tote bags and were able to ask any questions we had. I would definitely go back for another class.
  • Good class for a beginner
  • I truly learned so much from James and his careful instruction, alongside his passion and dedication to the arts. It was a pleasure to share the space with him and his students for the evening. I can see why Decorus Atelier of Figurative Art is such a special School. I will be applying all that he has taught me to my creative self and my art. Thank you so much to the Decorus Atelier family!
  • What a relaxing and peaceful experience. No pressure just comfortable conversation and the chance to explore the creative part of yourself. Energetic instructor with motivating and encouraging ideas.
  • I came into this class with zero knowledge of beading and our teacher was so patient, she was great at explaining and re-explaining when needed as well as giving us a demo to follow. She was so talented and I loved this class. I highly recommend it.
  • Had the most incredible time! The teacher was extremely knowledgable and I got to learn about all the steps in depth and had the teacher's whole attention to pep talk me through each step. Got to dye the leather and stamp a design! A much more rewarding experience than slapping together some metal and leather. If you're looking for leather or metal working classes go to Nazz Forge you won't regret it!!
  • This was a wonderful class. I learned so much from Junko, and especially enjoyed learning about the history of Ikebana + her own journey with the art form. I left with a beautiful piece, lots more knowledge, and the inspiration to keep trying at home. Thank you for an awesome class!
  • Amazing experience & a very good teacher. You definitely get your money's worth.
  • Chelsea was amazing at take us step by step through our class! I learned so much and am confident I can take what I learned to actually sew and hem in the future!
  • Great experience learning the basics of drawing theory! Reed was an awesome instructor - super patient, engaging, and great at listening and adapting to the needs of the class. Will definitely take another course here!
  • Saturday Figure Drawing was a great experience. The model was excellent, the artists were congenial, the monitor was helpful and welcoming and the oreos were the cherry on top. Can't wait to go again.
  • Fantastic class. I sucked so bad but the instructor did their best to guide the session and save me from being a complete failure.
  • Very thorough, felt like I was comfortable with the basics by the end of the class. The teacher is very friendly and knowledgeable.
  • It's my very first time to have the oil painting, and it's really so cool!
  • It was awesome to start with three blocks of raw wood and have the hands on woodworking experience to shape that wood into a real table. Robbie was great—patient, helpful, and full of great woodworking insight!
  • This was an incredibly fun and helpful class. My previous teacher experiences learning watercolor made me not enjoy it as I didn’t understand the process correctly. This class was entirely different, with the instructor Anna Levy being engaging, funny, informative and allowed me to finally understand the art of watercolor while having a relaxing experience at the same time.
  • Great instructor and I am happy that I learned the basics of watercolor finally! Something I've been wanting to do for a long time.
  • I loved the course! I can’t recommend the instructor enough - Jules was not only knowledgeable and patient, but generous and made the learning process enjoyable. Worth it - I recommend for anyone starting out on their sewing journey!
  • I thoroughly enjoyed the basic Ikebana class with instructor and assistant. It was exquisite though her mastery of Ikebana floral design was for a considerable length of years, during the class she allowed us attendees the freedom to be creative with our designs. The class was a delight to learn of this technique of Ikebana.
  • This class was great ! The teacher was so kind and I really enjoyed it !
  • The instructor explained all the steps very clearly. I was a little slower than the other people in the class but he made sure that I knew what was going on still.
  • The location is great. Classroom specious and clean. Our teacher Daniella was super knowledgeable, thorough and very supportive. Will be taking another class for sure.
  • Michelle Green is a great teacher. Very knowledgeable about welding/metal working and very patient. I would definitely recommend her classes and will be signing up for more.
  • James is an amazing teacher!
  • I signed my husband and me up for this course as a surprise birthday gift for him, and it was a blast! Vince was great at showing us the ropes, offering guidance when we needed it, and also letting us do our own thing. It felt like a day at the shop with friends. We're looking forward to more classes here in the future, and definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about woodcarving.
  • Really strong class. Michelle is an excellent, thorough teacher who's clearly skilled in both the art and the technique of welding. A tiny class size allowed for genuine one-on-one attention and immediate feedback. In just two hours she covered enough of the fundamentals of striking an arc and running a bead that I walked out able to lay a basic bead myself. It's a confidence-building foundation for a beginner, which is exactly what I wanted from an introductory session. All the gear is supplied, the setup is beginner-friendly, and there's no pressure. Highly recommended.
  • I took the Fundamentals of Drawing and Painting class and have enjoyed every minute of it! I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in drawing, whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to art after a long break. The instructor explains concepts like mark making, proportion, and measuring in a clear, systematic way that makes challenging techniques feel approachable. Learning to create a value scale completely changed how I think about light, depth, and form, and I was surprised by how much my drawings improved in just a few sessions. The class strikes a great balance between group demonstrations and personalized feedback, so you always know what to work on next without feeling overwhelmed. The learning environment is warm, supportive, and inspiring, with a small class size that encourages creativity while giving everyone plenty of individual attention. I left each session feeling more confident, motivated to keep practicing, and excited to continue taking classes with this instructor.
  • Very professional yet relaxed environment for all types of artists. The instructor was very welcoming, and everyone was very friendly. I would recommend their instructed classes as well if you are totally new to drawing.
  • I had an amazing experience at this class. Kaitlyn was so informative and helped me create a bowl. Would definitely recommend
  • Great professional instruction. Accommodating to student various needs. My progress was obvious with instruction very one on one. The June Tuesday Thursday program classes offered and day time made it very convenient. And building elevator made it accessible Highly recommend. I’ll try to go again when can get to nyc in the future.
  • I'm relatively a beginner and this was a great course for me. It was a small class in a nice studio in Dumbo. The instructor Bradley was very nice, kind, and patient, and happy to help in anyway. All materials were provided so I didn't have to worry about buying or carrying anything. I'd definitely take another class here
  • Super fun!
  • June is an excellent teacher. Her instructions were always clear and she was very patient when students needed extra help. She motivated us and conducted the class with support when needed.
  • I really enjoyed the class. The teacher was so kind and helpful, giving me great advice for each step! Highly recommend the class, I use the bag I made pretty much everyday!
