"My son never wants to miss a week of his lessons with Yvette. Watching him experiment and get lost in the process is what it’s all about for him. We are so lucky to have a one on one teacher in the community who provides the space, materials and support to meet the creative needs of special needs students. Yvette kindly and patiently guides my son through a variety of lessons that are well-suited to his developmental stages. His confidence soars with each lesson!"

"Art Factory instructors provide parents and their children with many great creative services. What I appreciate most is their summer art camp where they guides my son through a variety of creative processes throughout the week. The studio space allows for unlimited creative expression and his exercises and projects amaze me. The Art Factory’s integrity and genuine care for my child’s work is heartwarming."

"The Art Factory is a very special place.  The children’s classes are diverse and fun. They are set in a warm environment that fosters the imagination. Yvette takes the time to understand each child’s perspective and helps bring out their individual creative style. My children feel a sense of pride and accomplishment with each work of art they bring home from the Art Factory. They love attending weekly lessons as well as week-long art camps.

Yvette and her team also offer wonderful learning opportunities for adults. I have attended the Mom’s Night Out Workshops and enjoyed them tremendously. It is a great way to spend an evening – creating jewelry, sipping wine and socializing with interesting women in our community. We are fortunate to have such a charming and creative resource in our community."
