Quotes"We created Studio J because we had a creative new concept to meet a need in the community. We offer adult and children's parties, as well as family workshops. The occasion can be a birthday, an anniversary, any milestone, or just a group of friends who want to have fun together and leave with a memento of their time together." Adina Y. Torchman
"We have been open for 9 months and the feedback has all been very positive. For the children's parties, parents love the fact that their child is learning a new art form while having fun. Many of the children have joined our after school drop-in program so that they can continue to express themselves through art. Our adult parties have been equally well received, the adults are proud of what they created." Tamy Jacobs
"Studio J" is simply phenomenal. My 10 year-old had many choices for her party, but we wanted to try the JCC's new art studio. They took care of everything - from helping me select the art project I wanted for the party to providing a professional artist to guide us during the party. My daughter and all of her friends just loved every aspect of the party and we already reserved Studio J for my other child's birthday. Miriam R.
