The class I took was just one night, but they also offer a multi-week course that I've heard is great and the prices are really reasonable. They seem to do a good job recruiting the best professional instructors they can find. My child isn't old enough yet for their kids' classes, but I know they have a huge following in the area. Their free gallery exhibits are pretty cool and vary from local artists to national. The current one is the work of a photographer from New York.

My friends and I were very excited to see a new yarn shop opening in our area. We were very…read morepleasantly surprised and excited. The staff are very helpful, friendly and welcoming.

We've been extremely impressed with Skokie Kids Art. Our two kids have been attending for nearly…read morethree years, and the impact on their creativity has been remarkable. The program strikes a rare balance between teaching art techniques and giving our kids freedom to experiment on their own. Mr. Leo and Mrs. Sonja are both deeply involved and truly understand how to structure sessions in a way that challenges our kids while keeping them engaged, inspired and confident. This isn't a commercial, one-size-fits-all art class--there's a level of personalization and care here that really sets it apart - which is what we appreciate the most. Over time, our kids haven't just "taken art classes"--they've become real 'creators'. They've had their own community exhibitions and are frequently praised by their school teachers for their creativity and skill (and even won a few prizes). Skokie Kids Art is not just an art class--it's a place where our kids learn how to think creatively and take pride in their work. We couldn't recommend it more highly.

I love…read morethe laid back style, and the freedom to which we're given as students to experiment (and, as is often the case with first time anything, make mistakes) with the clay. I enjoy the hands-on format of the instruction, and it's always a relief to know that you don't just have one hunk of clay to work with during the lesson. The studio is airy and spacious with lots of awesome pottery in various stages of finishing to look at, from both instructors and students. There's also a little alcove of free art (clay projects left behind) that you can claim as your own as you head back to your car. The whole process of being at Centered Clay feels very mindful, even the prep and clean up processes. It's a reprieve from the rest of the daily grind in the week. If you're on the fence about trying a class, I would encourage you to try one out! The atmosphere is conducive to making art and enjoying a calm time with clay and others.

It's more of a freestyle experience, where you can either draw inspiration from the beautiful sample pieces or create something entirely original. Emily, the instructor, is welcoming and hands-off, offering helpful tips and great conversation. You won't leave with a finished piece, as it takes about three weeks to dry and fire, but you can return for a glazing party later. They offer other classes too, so it's definitely worth checking out!
