What do I love about Acorn? Everything! Such a cool space to hang with/make new friends while making cool art!
Improvements:
Nothing..Pretty damned awesome all around. Meg is an inspiration to all of the students, be they younger or teens. My 14 year old has been taking classes for 5 years and absolute LOVES going to class. Summer camps at the Willows are brilliant too..don't hesitate to book any class at Acorn..you won't regret it!

My son LOVES his weekly time at Acorn. The instructors are so patient, kind, and supportive. He loves that he gets to paint what interests him! I love the vocabulary he is learning, the increased attention to detail, and the VERY supportive environment.

We love Acorn.
