Gretchen let him choose what he wanted to make, then guided him through each step, resulting in an adorable Christmas tree that could also functions as a night light. The pricing is an incredible value for the time, care, and one-on-one attention provided during the class. Gretchen also did a fantastic job of asking thoughtful questions to give him the space to explore his creativity, while still offering support. It was such a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

Our family LOVES 29 Palms Creative Center and Ms. Gretchen. We found this place when we moved to 29…read morePalms after losing our home suddenly in LA. It was a time our life was disrupted and things were very hard for my son. He loves art and we tried 29PCC in hopes it would bring him joy and it brought us so much more. We are now living much farther away but make the 1.5 hr trip back for art class when we can. Just last night my son said, "Mommy, I miss Ms. Gretchen!" And I figured it was time to leave a review! Ms. Gretchen has a beautiful way of letting him be him, fully. My son is level 1 autistic, plus very shy at times because of lack of socialization due to a rare disease that keeps him in the house a lot. But when with Ms. Gretchen, none of behaviors are challenging, none of his behaviors need to be adapted - she is so loving and accepting in a way that allows him to feel cared for amd safe. To love and care from a distance in the way that she does is such a strong quiet power and we are grateful to know and to have the opportunity to continue returning to 29 Palms Creative Center. Also, the entire place is a gorgeous adventure. I find something new and delightful to look at every time we go. Forever grateful

I found out about this place on a travel channel on YouTube. The original owner had built this…read moreplace for her love of art. She had been married several times, hence the tiny chapel. And her response for the out houses were "when ya gotta go, ya gotta go". Unfortunately, she has passed away but her legacy remains. We were greeted by Kiesha who was friendly, welcoming and informative. She explained the layout and even helped us make a purchase. We entered the art galleries and even used the outhouse. Inside, you can see everything but no one can see you. It's a really funny experience. The kids were sure amazed. We walked around the trail in the several acres. We went inside the chapel where they have a prayer jar. I don't want to give away too much because it's truly a magical and giving place that you need to experience it yourself. I highly suggest giving them a visit and consider contributing to keeping the place alive.

Decent amount of parking. - Unfortunately the two eponymous glass outhouses (see-through restrooms) were locked! I read that it's for protection and preservation, but darn, one of the things I was excited about visiting Joshua Tree my first time for was to check out the inside of the outhouse and imagine a person pretending to use it haha . Not another soul in sight. I had the whole place to myself. Enjoyed the peace and quiet.
