Taken both our goddaughter and niece and both girls loved it. I love the convenience of being able to schedule/walk in less than 2 hours.

My family and I visited Créatif Art Studio for a walk-in, and we had such a great time! The atmosphere was very welcoming and creative, with plenty of options to paint for all ages to enjoy. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was such a fun experience to relax, paint, and relax together as a family. The studio is clean, bright, and inspiring, making it a perfect spot for both kids and adults. We left with wonderful memories—and some beautiful pieces of art to take home. We’ll definitely be back!

I went to the Creatif Fort Mill Art Studio for my friend’s 12th birthday party, and it was AMAZING! We had so much fun painting. Everyone there was so friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. The staff were so nice and caring. The atmosphere was super cool and perfect for a party, and all my friends had a blast. Definitely one of the best birthday parties ever—highly recommend!

I am visiting from Ohio. I wanted to do something with my Mom. We walked in. There were 3 groups of 2-3 people and one group was leaving. The young girls at the desk said we would need to come back later because they were expecting a group of 14 in an hour and a half. So I don't know how nice it is because we couldn't try anything. They could have let my Mom and I paint for an hour.

I booked a party more than a month in advance but had to cancel the same day I booked it. The staff member was kind and said it wouldn’t be a problem, but the owner never called me back as promised. When I followed up a week later, I was told the $100 fee was nonrefundable, with no effort to make things right. I understand policies, but I expected better communication and at least some willingness to work with customers.

We celebrated our daughter’s birthday there and it didn’t come out like our expectation, it was very expensive and no kids got anything from the session. Their face painting is a joke, and photo package is total waste. Will never recommend this to anyone.

Attended a 5 year olds birthday party. Was very pleased at how well everything was setup. 2 employees to assist at all times. They had multiple things to do which included painting and coloring. Memorable experience

My parents were in from out of town and wanted to do something fun with my 10 and 7 year old, this place fit the bill! They had plenty of projects for them to choose from, and the woman working was very friendly and SO helpful. My youngest (a perfectionist) was very unhappy when he “messed up” his project. Eva (I may be remembering that spelling that wrong, sorry!) had a solution for him, she was more than willing to dry his creation and paint over in white so he would have a blank slate to try again. It was above and beyond if you ask me, and so much appreciated! Thank you for a great experience!!

I am writing this review because I am very disappointed with the experience I had on my birthday at Créatif Art Studio Fort Mill. When we first arrived, there was a man who was working with me and my sister, and he was very impatient and pushing us to make a decision on what we wanted to paint. When we decided to do a canvas, he then wanted us to hurry up and make a decision on what stencil we wanted to use. I had to ask him over and over again what type of tools were available for use. He made me nervous, so I forgot to put my base coat on the board and started drawing the stencil out so I could hurry up and start painting. Since I had to wait in between to get different paint colors plus having to help my sister with the bad mess up with her canvas I was not able to complete my painting and ask a young lady employee if we could return the next day to complete both our painting since there was not a time limit on working at the studio then we paid and left the pictures.
The second day I went back alone and I could see that the man was not happy to see me. He gave me paper plates with other peoples leftover paint, which had thickened and was hard to spread. The whole time I was there, I fixed my sister's painting by peeling off lifted paint and painting and drying the canvas several time to make it look more even and covered the transferred paint from the stencil. Since I ran out of time and had to leave, I shared with the young lady employee that I had to come back tomorrow to finish mine, and I was willing to pay $10. When I got up to leave, the man came up to me and said, "I heard you're coming back tomorrow again and paying." He took my picture, and I left.
I almost didn't go back the third day, but I made myself. The man was still not happy seeing me. As he handed me my picture, he reminded me not to forget to pay when I was done, so I thought he was talking about the $10 I mentioned because nothing else was said. He had me take used paint again and wouldn't let me select the type of paint brushes I wanted to use. After a while, he brought an ipad to me and asked me to sign in. I waited a long time before asking him to dry the canvas so I could continue working. When I finally asked him, he took it to the dryer in the back and came right out again with it which indicated to me he didn't dry it completely. After having to wait to get some colors at different times that I need, the young lady employee helped with the last colors required so I could finish. When I went up to the counter to pay and looked at the register, he charged me $20 instead. I just paid it left. I will never go back there again.

I didn't care for this place at all! They dried my canvas with the stencil still taped to it. When I was removing it. It took my paint off with it. It had to be fixed the next day. Which I heard that the owner was not happy about.
UPDATE since I heard from the owner. I want to clarify that do to poor instruction. The man helping me insisted that the dry paint on the stencil would not transfer to my canvas. But it did. It had to be fixed by my sister Lori. Because I refused to go back there.

Our experience at Creatif was not great. This might be a good place for older kids, but I do not believe they’re equipped and/or know how to handle younger kids, especially in a full-day summer camp environment.
• Monday
o It was not even noon, and TJ (owner) has sent an email to all parents, letting them know that “the children were notably out of control, with excessive shouting, a lack of attentiveness, and engaging in roughhousing with one another”… I understand that there are rules, and by no means I condone bad behavior, but we also need to keep in mind that these are very young children (mine is 5 y/o) and some of this behavior is “normal” and I agree it needs to be addressed, but in a manner that is age appropriate.
o During pickup, I asked him what happened, and for specific details so that I can have a productive conversation with my child and address any behavioral issues. He told me that they were playing rough, and being disruptive, and pointed at my son and said “being disruptive like what he is doing now”, my son was not talking, he was not interrupting, he was simply standing in front of me, handing me his art work, again, HE IS 5!!!!!
• Tuesday
o I’ve had a chat with my son the night before, and he was ready to go back and to use his listening ears and to have some fun. As we walked in, TJ tells him in a very stern and condescending tone, “you need to keep hands to yourself today, and you need to listen!”. I asked about the “hands to yourself” part since TJ did not mention that when I asked the day before. He said that my son hit the teacher, I was surprised since my son has been in preschool since he was an infant and we’ve never had issues with him hitting his teachers.
o My son goes into a full meltdown, inconsolably crying, you could tell that he felt embarrassed, TJ just sat there like a statue, he did not even try to make things better, telling him “buddy, it is OK, we just need to keep hands to ourselves and listen, but today is another day, let’s go and have a great day” could’ve gone a long way, but he did NOTHING, just watched him cry as I tried to console him.
o When my son finally goes to the classroom, I talked to TJ and asked and he said that my son also threatened to cut the teacher’s hair, again, this has never happened before, I asked about details of that and the hitting so that I could have some context, did my son start things? Was he just playing along and following the lead of other kids? TJ could not provide any details/context.
• Thursday
o My friend arrives for pickup and TJ walks to her and tells her, in front of them, “this one can come back tomorrow” referring to her son, and “this one can’t come back”. Referring to my son as “this one”, instead of his name, struck me as very condescending and demeaning.
o He then called me, he said that he was having trouble following instructions, that he was playing rough, pushing, etc., and about name calling. ONCE AGAIN I asked about details to understand and to better address, was he pushing as if they were playing or trying to be mean to each other? He could not give me any details… What about the name calling? Any examples? To which he said “let’s say potty words”, I told him that “potty words is a big range, so can you please tell me a couple of examples” to which he said he “did not remember any examples”, REALLY??!? Can you not remember a word or two?
• OTHER RED FLAGS
o NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT - TJ had all the kids’ names on the wall with their names and Xs next to them, all the kids could see who had “strikes”. Their shortcomings were being displayed instead of praised for any achievements.
o SHAMING – he told my son that he was not coming back in front of classmates. His dismissal should not have been discussed with him, he is a 5y/o, it should have been discussed with his parents first and then we can communicate it to our son as we think is appropriate, but to make things worse, he did all of this in fro
