“Kelly is so kind and knowledgeable and really engages the kids. She provides structure and guidance but encourages creativity and play…allowing little imaginations to bloom and skills to grow. My son is always excited to go to clay class and we’ve found a true passion!” -Alexa C.
“Just wanted to say that the Artful Play program run by Kelly Ebeling was fantastic! I really enjoyed that it was entirely self-directed, and kids could really express themselves through the different activities. The format also worked fabulously at Northwest as families could join and leave the program as needed during the hour and a half. Families that walked in later could also freely join without having missed any important instructions. ★★★★★” - Northwest Children’s Librarian
“Art camp this summer was such a wonderful mix of creativity, whimsy, free play, and really lovely structured activities around a theme every week. You all did such a wonderful job with it and Domenica really loved camp, thank you so much!!” - Elena S.
“I’ve never seen him run to anything like he does to go to your art classes, he says he wants to ‘go to Dragonfly art school (Sonoma Art School) forever.’ What a testament to the fabulous programs you put together for these kids. Thank you Kelly, what a terrific thing you’ve done for all of us!” - Liz F.
“Mia (4th grade) has a passion for art, and I was so lucky to find Kelly and the Sonoma Art School to help her advance her skills. She was exposed to new techniques, materials, and a high level of instruction she wasn’t getting at school or home. After her first few classes, the degree of detail, shading, and realism in her drawings was impressive.” - Andi J.
“My six year old’s teacher had the most innovative lesson plans that went along perfectly with the theme and taught him about real artists, while exploring his creativity! … 10 out of 10!” - Sarah M.
“My children Aylin (8 years old) and Angel (5 years old) have attended Sonoma Art School’s art classes and they love it. When I go to pick her up, my daughter tells me that she doesn't want to go home yet! They have told me that the instructors they have had (Taryn, Kelly) are very flexible and kind. I love seeing every project they bring home!” – Manuela L.
“Our 6-year old is learning blending and shading techniques and "artist's tricks" for drawing portraits from her instructors Kelly and Taryn and comes home brimming with artwork and ideas. The day she has Sonoma Art School is her favorite day of the week!”– Stephanie T.
“Loved: The girls (ages 3 and 5) found the instructors exceptionally warm and friendly and felt comfortable immediately there. They loved the variety of activities and the beautiful nursery environment, full of great outdoor activities.” - Katherine V.
