I moved to Sacramento from San Jose in 2014. My daughter finished first grade in Carmichael elementary where she suffered tremendously. The teacher did not put the attention and dedication a teacher is responsible for, consequently leaving my daughter struggling even more than she was before. I was finally able to put my daughter in Deterding Elementary. Mrs. Morganstern was an Angel in disguise. She immediately recognized my daughter frustration and how behind she was in her academics. She met with me and developed a plan for my daughter success. She and other teachers organized an after school tutoring program for kids like my daughter to get that extra help they needed. I couldn't believe the dedication and care these teachers like Mrs. Morganstern genuinely give to their students. When she found out that my daughter was moving from school to school, and yet moving again to Santa Cruz, she quickly contacted me strongly concerned a

Beautiful & Quaint Art Studio In The Heart Of Midtown Sacramento!…read more SITREP Props to art docent Mike for giving my buddy Aaron T. and myself a tour around this lovely gallery. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/red-door-art-studio-sacramento?select=h_NJpiWENh9n7efduhO-jw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE SETUP The Red Door Art Studio ("Red Door") is this sweet quaint gallery in a Victorian at the corner of 20th & L Streets that hosts a lot of beautiful work it exhibits for local artists. FRANKIE VANITY Have seen Frankies art page on Facebook, Aaron and I made a beeline to check out her work which was vibrant and energetic. I am myself quite partial to themes of faeries, mermaids, the fantastic and any multi-medium work that especially features the works of Shakespeare. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/red-door-art-studio-sacramento?select=qmYrMOe0PcQwcwotixCaBA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w Frankie has a number of pieces that explores the work of Shakespeare and that is inspired by the sage's considerable body of plays. In addition, Frankie even incorporated the very pages of Shakespearean plays in her artistic work itself. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/red-door-art-studio-sacramento?select=JOECpJi98oLP88kCymxFtg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w EXHIBITION CLOSES Just to give art fans a heads-up, Frankie's exhibition closes this Friday.

Took a throwing class with Terry, who was great. He was super informative and willing to help…read morethroughout all my four classes. I ended up making about 5 pieces throughout the four classes. We glazed during our fourth and final class, meaning we had to return to find our pieces. When I came back the fifth week, my pieces were still not fired in the kiln yet. So I decided to come back in two weeks. That's where I ran into my issue. All of our completed pieces are in a separate room where the glazing happens. There was another instructor, bald lady who I believe instructs the hand throwing class, who was teaching her class how to glaze. My friend and I were looking for our pieces, trying to be as quiet as possible. However, noise is going to be made as we're rummaging through a bunch of finished pieces. There are about four separate sections where our pieces could be, so as we were going through the finished pottery pieces, someone from her class asked my friend and I to be quiet, which we were already trying to be as quiet as possible. She said that we were being rude and disruptive. However, this is just the nature of this room. People are going to be going in and out, trying to find their pieces, as they only place the finalized pieces here. This is when I expected the bald instructor to speak up but she was super rude as well. She was demeaning and condescending towards us. She talked down to us as if my friend and I were 5 years old. When we were looking through the non fired pieces, she raised her voice telling us not to touch the pieces if they weren't ours. The issue is, when you paint the glaze, not only does your piece look completely different, but the glaze is all different types of crazy colors. The only way to verify if the piece is yours is if you find your name on the bottom of the piece. So not only were we not able to verify if those pieces were ours, as the instructor was giving us attitude, we weren't able to find all of our pieces. We went back to our instructor, who was kind enough to find our pieces for us. Overall, we had a good experience but that last instructor really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm conflicted on what score to give, and really feel as though how are you an instructor when you are so rude? For sure left a bad taste in my mouth.

Nothing on their pages about being closed for the day, no sign on the door. We booked in advance the last time, a week in advance, and received no refund when they didn't actually open that day.

Really tough explaining that to children, especially ones on the spectrum, who were so very excited to check it out.
