Class times and workshops are flexible and are held on weekdays, weeknights and weekends, with special event and birthday party programs also on weekends. Registration is preferred but drop-ins are always welcome, provided there is space available.
Says Barking Cat Studio founder, Karen Merbaum, “My reason for opening Barking Cat Studio was two-fold. First, I wanted to fill the gap of declining arts education programs in my local Brooklyn community and offer affordable options for parents. Second, one of my greatest joys is to inspire and teach arts and crafts to kids of all ages. Art empowers children and fosters positive self-esteem. Making art helps children problem solve, and it offers them a much-needed creative outlet.”
