They are extremely knowledgeable and clear about the framing process and how best to show off your piece. This is not like dropping off your art at Michael's, to be delivered into the hands of a clueless 20 year-old who will have nothing to do with the framing once they ship it off. Mingo has exceeded my expectations on the pieces my husband and I have brought in, and done it at a fair price. Their creativity and skill made even a simple poster I've had since college look like it should be hanging in a much nicer house. : ) As mentioned, their gallery shows are top-notch and openings are always warm and fun. Great little spot for art in Beverly.

She needed an output for her creativity so I was searching everywhere for the right one. After talking with one of the moms from my daughter's school she recommended the Acorn Gallery, saying her son takes a class there and it was a great place. After just the first class I could already tell this was the place we've been looking for! There's a safe environment with caring teachers that lets the children express themselves. The children make oil paintings that I am thoroughly impressed with; they are well beyond what you would expect for that age group! The location is so convenient, its just in downtown Marblehead, a five minute drive away. The teachers as I said before are so caring and all of them, Debra, Jack, and Lexie, encourage the children's creativity and teach them so much. I would recommend the program for any child, teenager, and even adult. Acorn Gallery is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.

Wish we had more time with our projects. We started about 10 minutes late because the instructor…read morewas picking up coffee and muffins for the class, then she took about 10 minutes to go through attendance/contact info. 20 minutes out of 90 is kind of substantial. Maybe attendance could be dealt with once the class has clay in front of them and they can use the time to prep clay/think of surface decoration. Nice idea, (although eating muffins with hands in clay isn't easy) execution could use some refining.

I've done pottery painting a few times and I typically feel a little let down when I get the finished piece back... but not this time! Clay dreaming's instructions and tips for painting helped my piece to turn out just how I wanted it. Thank you to clay dreaming and I recommend this place for a wonderful date night!

The only two submission packages which I received, in the three months with TemporaryGallery, that showed any sense of professionalism were from MCAers (they will remain nameless, as they both are very humble and get rosy over compliments). But I don't only have to compare the school to others to note why I love it: Scott Hadfield, Barbara Moody, Luara Tonelli, Marjorie Augenbraum, and the list goes on. Small class sizes and great teachers make this school. Every teacher gives a new a fresh perspective, none jaded by the years of professing. OH I CAN'T FORGET LEN! Len is amazing
