A friend and Sabot parent recently told me about Schoodio, a kids art studio in the Near West End.
What a great idea! A place where kids can create, and be kids. Parents on the other hand can have a break — go shopping and come back a few hours later to see the artistic masterpieces. Schoodio is run by a mom-daughter team of professional artists in the Sabot School Style. I even noticed the kids seats are the same as at Sabot School — practical but useful tall foot stools. Easy to clean, and just the right height.
The, Times Dispatch wrote about Schoodio earlier this fall quoting the owner:

“They get structure in schools,” said Rebecca, who worked in New York as a photographer for 12 years. “This is a place to run wild. They can even color the floors and walls.”

Hmmm, maybe we could all use a visit to the Schoodio to release our inner wild.
