Essem Art Studio is officially a staple in my daughter’s weekly routine. Sophia is truly passionate about working with and teaching each little artist during her art labs. My daughter has grown socially and creatively from her time at Essem. The work space and one on one attention each child gets is amazing! I highly recommend Essem and Sophia!

Essem Art (and Sophia) has been the most wonderful addition to our great Charlestown community. Our daughter first visited the studio when she was about 18 months old. She is so proud to come home and show us the art she has created! Sophia switches up the projects all the time which keeps it new and refreshing for kids of all ages. Everything about Essem is warm, welcoming and fosters creativity.

Essem Art Studio is a dream come true for creators, thinkers, makers and doers. Sophia is not only incredibly talented but she is a natural teacher and role model for children. She has created a nurturing and imaginative space where anyone can express themselves through art. My six year old son recently participated in the studio's Mini Art + Maker Workshop. He loved every minute of it. He can often feel rushed in school or other classes but the design of this workshop allowed for him to create without time constraints. As a parent I not only loved seeing what he made but it was incredible to hear all about the techniques he learned. More than an just an art class - Sophia has succeeded in making a space where children come alive with ideas. Isn't that every parent's dream!? Thank you Sophia for
