Art by Heart Studio, San Antonio

Imagination flows without restriction inside Art by Heart Studio as aspiring pintsize and full-size creators soak up artistic techniques on a drop-in basis. From painting, mosaics, and stained-glass projects to more time-tested methods, including sewing and knitting, the studio's instructors can help protégés of any age hoist their talents to the next level. In addition to sharing a wealth of knowledge, Art by Heart Studio repurposes would-be trash into art supplies through its Green Heart Program, which saves items such as empty candy tins, bubble wrap, and shoeboxes from the garbage dump or from having to find secondary jobs in telemarketing.
