I’d give 10 stars if possible. Gaby and her helper, Adam, are gems. They let a child be where they are, don’t over-direct them, and let their creative process flow. They truly follow the child, inspire their self-confidence, and it’s always packed with fun. Thanks, Gaby!

Yes indeed. Gaby is the most wonderful find and new friend. Her artistic skills and life inspire me. Listening to her talk about art and life is a joy. She is a fabulous artist and teacher who loves what she does. I am taking her adult class for ceramics, but she encouraged me to come back and take a class with the kids too. So cool that all ages can learn and play together. Going to Art Abloom is one of the highlights of my week. From the first moment I walked in and was so warmly welcomed by Gaby and her daughters, I felt part of the Art Abloom community. I highly recommend Art Abloom for all ages(my friend’s children go there and love it) for drawing, ceramics, sculpture, painting, and all other artistic creative pursuits.

Let me just sum it up this way: My 9 year old very sports obsessed son and his equally sports-involved best friend proclaimed that the time the spend at Art Abloom every week is «the most awesomest thing.»

Ok personally I dropped out of art school because I felt like they were squashing my creativity by giving me assignments and telling me what to do. at art abloom kids and adults have free range to make create and love every second of the creative process without the worry or stress of trying to impress a teacher or anyone other than yourself. There is no curriculum just a mass of different mediums at your child’s fingertips. want to make a teddy bear? great, sclupt? awesome, sand? sweet, throw on the wheel? yeea! paint, draw, build, glue bead, you name it! I highly recommend this place to anyone of all ages, this place is art with heArt

After an unfortunate fire destroyed the studio on Sir Francis Drake, the studio moved to an even better space at 1527 San Anselmo Ave. This has got to be the most encouraging atmosphere ever for creating art. Gaby Drake has an amazing talent for dealing with children of all ages. She is able to bring out creativity through facilitation and not instruction. The experience feels more like an individual art exploration and not a class where art is expected to be learned in a specific way. Gaby provides an impressive assortment of materials and knowledge which constantly opens up the world of art to her students. New ideas are always welcome and individual style is celebrated. I wish that i had experienced this way of self explored art when i was a child. My daughter cannot get enough time at Art Abloom where she is always excited, confident and proud of her finished product!
