What a cute little local gem!!!!

Did a workshop at Big Picture tonight and braved taking 5 littles with me to make planter pots- and what an experience. The staff were amazing, patient, and knowledgeable. The evening went smoothly and all of us can’t wait to pick up our masterpieces!

Check their website as the offerings are broad but among them are summer camps, workshops, private parties, lessons.

Fantastic place for a party! We love classes at Big Picture, and our birthday party was a great experience, start to finish. Adam was helpful answering all my questions on the planning end. Our theme wasn’t exactly typical, but Bree crafted a custom Kuromi painting lesson for the artists’ skill level. We brought decorations but didn’t really need them because the space is naturally festive. The energy and kindness Bree and Leah brought to the instruction put everyone at ease, and the party flowed so smoothly! Bonus—If you’re accident prone like I am, the space is extremely forgiving of spills! This was engaging and fun while also sensory-friendly for the sound/motion sensitive. Seated for those with mobility issues (not sure about ramp, though, and door is manual). And the focused creative activity and room arrangement eased socializing between new acquaintances! Art ftw! 🙂

Awesome experience! Great materials, fun ideas, and lovely owners/teachers. 10 out of 10 will be back for more creative fun with my friends!

Best birthday for our Toddler! We reached out the the studio and told them we were wanting to do a dinosaur themed party and they whipped up some ceramics for the boys to paint. The staff were so wonderful accommodating to the little ones (3-4year olds). There wasn't a dull moment. Thank you Amy! There was coloring, painting, and crafts. We did pizza from Wig and Penn since the studio shares a parking lot with them in North Liberty. Then there was cupcakes and presents. We will definitely being doing this again, but maybe for the adults! It looked like so much fun, I couldn't wait to do it myself 🙂

All three of my kids have been to Big Picture (ages 7, 7, and 4), and they have all loved it! Becky is wonderful with kids and really encourages them to be creative. They treasure the fun things they bring home and always look forward to going back! We are lucky to have such a valuable resource in our community.

Becky is such an amazing and dedicated teacher. She puts her whole heart into everything she does at the studio and making sure that every single guest and student is given the the absolute best experience. I have done 3 events at the Studio with friends and we had a blast every-time. My children take classes there and they absolutely LOVE them every-time! I would recommend Big Picture to EVERYONE!!!!! A+
