What parents say
Powered by GoogleI love Tinker! I didn’t get into art until I was an adult and I’ve never felt awkward or uncomfortable as a novice at Tinker. I’ve tried many of the classes for adults at this point: Intro to Acrylics, Intro to Oils, Community Paint, and Life Drawing. All are excellent and so welcoming! Grey and Erica are fantastic teachers, always motivating and providing constructive yet positive feedback. I’ve become a painter because of Tinker and highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of skill level, if you have an interest.
View on Google ↗What a fun place for kids to create and bond through art! Our 5YO really enjoyed a birthday party here and we can't wait to come back. Absolutely love this idea and place. Endless parking, too, a fun surprise in Boulder. Thanks, Tinker Art!
View on Google ↗I ordered a few craft kits for the holidays and was thrilled to see the presentation of them when I picked them up. Each kit was in its own bag with paints and instructions. These will make great gifts!
View on Google ↗Tinker is amazing. The activities are great and all the staff super nice. My daughter wants to go on every school day off. It's a wonderful place.
