    This class was AMAZING! I actually went alone and it was easy going fitting in and very easy…read moreinstructions. I had a glass of sangria while i painted my work and made friends with the person sitting next to me. I also photobombed other peoples pix. I bought this class in a Groupon but I really like it so Im willing to do it again soon. Can't wait!

    I love paint nite…read more HOWEVER. I went once with artist Rich Seidman at Molly Spilanes. He was full of fun energy and smiles and made the night go smoothly. He instructed easily and I learned good techniques. Even though the "class" is just for fun and not necessarily to learn, I go for the painting, and Rich gave a great class. We looked forward to paint nite again with him as the artist. I went a second time, again to Molly Spilanes. I love the venue and the area, and chose a different picture - red fall leaves or something. On the paint nite site, the artist should have been Rich again, but instead was Andrea. Maybe she is under pressure from college and whatnot, but her energy was negative. The group was fantastic and my painting came out OK, but there were lots of things I didn;t enjoy and will probably avoid a class if she is the instructor. However, I emailed paint nite because if this is common, booking with one artist and then arriving to find another artist instructing the class, I may avoid paint nite for a short while. The class started late. It should have been 7pm, but it started at 730pm~ish. Her tone just seemed harsh. Now, i am not all puppies and sunshine myself, but we're there to have fun. The instruction went OK, but we were towards the back and couldn't see that she had painted anything on a canvas to show us - she didn't point it out or hold it up, so we couldn't see above the rows ahead of us. We struggled with technique. I also noticed - she took liberty and changed her interpretation of the painting we chose online - she said she liked spring better than fall - but I hadn't realized until I went online at the paint nite and saw the painting was changed. I was wondering why it didn't look like what we signed up for. That's fine, because I still came home with a painting I did myself, but I would have liked to see the painting that we chose and then *I* could interperet it how *I* wanted since *I* was the one paying for the class. At the end, around 9pm, she started talking about how she knows who gives her bad reviews because she can remember our faces (this had to be in jest, but still - not cool), and that if we give her less than a 10 in our survey, she'll lose her 5 star rating. And she'll know who it was because if we come back again she'll remember. Ok. Then she pointed out the tip jar, and not to feel obligated but she does have student loans. Well, I do too! The way the class ended - her yelling about giving her a good rating and soliciting tips - made me realize it's important to know who will be the artist and to know ahead of time what to expect. I hope she does well on her finals because maybe she was stressed, but I do go for the painting. I would do this again in the future but in a different venue or borough. We based the decision for this specific paint nite on the venue, the artist, and the painting. and we only left 100% pleased with the venue.

On this particular afternoon & evening it was used to facilitate The Bronx Vegan Bazaar with all things Vegan from food to candles. The food was good & of course healthy & there was even a DJ playing good music to eat & socialize by. So checkout the dates through December & remember, 'The Bronx is The New Vegan!'

It does look like an abandoned mansion but it does have very beautiful art/ exhibits inside. It's a free admissions donations are welcome. They are currently showing June 1 : I Dream Like this Everyday at Andrew Freedman Home until July 27! A solo exhibition by AFH artist-in-residence, Note' Peter George. Many more arts but I do not want to spoil it please go see and donate. The mansion itself it's huge and they do have a room for rental. Restroom are also available. It's true that it does look like you're in Florence, Italy because of garden and building. Its right in the heart of Grand Concourse and it's amazing it was built in the 1920's and now it's being used for community programs, and a gallery for local artists. Would definite come back they had a lot more art than the Bronx museum.

    I've been doing ceramics here since Feb 2025 and it's now June. I absolutely love it. I started…read moreright after the new owner Shannon started and it's such a chill, welcoming atmosphere. My class is taught by Abby on Wednesdays, who is really patient, an excellent instructor, and an incredible potter herself. The other teachers are great too - I've admired all their work on the greenware rack and have heard good things from other students. As for price, it's very reasonable - $480 for 6 weeks and you can do benchtime if you need or miss a class. For me it's totally worth it to have a little refuge in my neighborhood to hang out and make things. I've already replaced a bunch of my bowls and mugs with handmade bowls and mugs and my friends are now asking me to make them things since I've gotten a lot better since I first started. If you're thinking about signing up - DO IT! It's so worth it.

    I've created pottery in 4 different studios around the country. I love the creative, down-to-earth…read morevibe I've found in pottery studios and Earthworks Pottery is the only studio I will not return to. First, they're more expensive than most other studios in New York City. Earthworks is also more tight and cramped than others. There is little room to move around and no place to set your toolbox that is not in someone's way. WORST of all it's a very uptight place with strange, unnecessary, rigid rules and strict, odd policies. There is a high-strung vibe in this studio and you can feel it when you walk through the front door. There is a new owner and a fish stinks from the head. And why post images on social media of beautiful work that was NOT created or photographed in this studio? They steal images from the internet and post as their own. What does that tell you? There are other studios in the city. PLEASE don't come here.
