About Us

Hello, I’m Crystal Arnold, the owner and creative director of Crystal’s Creative Classroom. With 18 years of experience as an educator and having a Master’s degree in Education, I’ve spent my career teaching and inspiring others to tap into their creative potential. I have a deep love for all forms of art—whether it’s painting, crafting, or experimenting with different media. Creativity and self-expression are my passions, and I want everyone to experience the joy of creating and having fun along the way.

Growing up, I was lucky enough to learn from my mom, an amazing self-taught painter. We would spend hours coloring in coloring books, drawing, and crafting together; while my painting abilities are much different than hers, art always provided an escape from the everyday. For me, as a Type A personality, it’s incredibly freeing to play with different materials and let unexpected things unfold in the process.  If you are focused on perfection, this might not be the right place for you.  Here, we have fun, laugh, enjoy the process, and try to work with a mistake or twelve, LOL!

​

I truly believe everyone can paint and make fun, beautiful things! So let's make memories and have a great time!  Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you’ll join me for some much-needed crafting time, whether solo or with friends. It’s going to be a blast making something special, learning new techniques, and celebrating the beauty of art!
