Michael Symber Studios

"I can't say enough great things about Michael Symber Studios! Both my son and daughter (7) love taking classes with Michael. It is truly my daughter's happy place and will soon be mine as well since I hope to take more classes their myself! It is a true art education - not fluffy arts & crafts stuff. You learn the history, the proper tools and techniques along with the creative in a fun, engaging environment. Highly recommend for aspiring artists of any age!"

"I've had my, now 11 year old, daughter in every kind of art class you can imagine... Free classes at the library, reasonably priced classes at local park districts, classes at Elmhurst Art Museum, etc, etc. One common thread is how strangely hard it is to find classes for big kids and pre-teens... Most are for very young kids, or teens and adults. When I started looking I found an art studio in Hinsdale charging $330 PLUS for only a couple classes, and it was just for little kids... I couldn't believe it, and thought thats what I would have to pay. Imagine how happy I was to find Michael Symber Studios... Right here in Elmhurst, for a much more reasonable price, where they also utilize good quality supplies. Also, even though it was going to be a very small class, they were willing to go forward so the kids wouldn't be disappointed to miss class. How awesome it that?! A business that is actually willing to put your kids happiness first. This is just our first class, and I can't wait to try more!!!"

"Michael Symber Studios is such an amazing art studio! My 11 year old son has taken multiple classes and adores Michael, who is so encouraging, kind and informative. My son says, "He is the best art teacher I've ever known!" I've also taken a few adult art classes and have enjoyed learning the history of the artists, all about the art techniques, and Michael's positive comments throughout the process. He knows how to teach the experienced artist and the beginner!"

"We love Michael Symber Studios. We found this amazing art school right as it opened and enrolled our five year old in the watercolor class. Michael and Jodi are knowledgeable, patient and engaging, and our kiddo went on to try many of the classes. She has learned about different artists and materials while picking up social skills and having a ton of fun. I cannot recommend Michael Symber Studios enough!"

"We love Michael Symber Studios! He’s the best. My daughter loves his classes and is always looking forward to what’s next. So many options and different mediums. He is so patient and kind and the kids love him and Jodi! Great all around people that love to share their passion of art. I honestly can’t say enough great things. Very impressive studio."
