After spending time in one of the rooms, she asked our thoughts and we discussed for a few before going to the next. Would definitely visit again.

I attended the 30th Annual Pence Gallery Garden Tour 2023 in Davis. I heard about it through one of…read morethe garden hosts - Janey & Jason Santos, who are popular garden YouTubers in the area. Their garden was more beautiful in person, and it was a pleasure to walk through it... along with the other gardens. The Pence Gallery itself is very nice. We stopped by because we had will call tickets for the garden tour. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. She gave us a little goodie bag which we appreciated. The place was clean and organize, it was also serene and relaxing. As for the garden tour event, the description on the Pence Gallery website said there would be 7-10 gardens. Sadly, there were only FIVE + a stop at the gallery, and it literally took us less than two hours to do the whole tour. We definitely would have planned our morning differently had we known there were only five gardens. Hoping they offer more gardens next year! Other than that, we had a good experience at Pence Gallery and their garden tour event.

Hubs and I were out 'n about on a lazy sunny winter afternoon in downtown Woodland, CA. Just…read morechillin. There are a lot of cute shops and eateries. We parked in the public parking lot (free parking) and were walking towards Main Street when this shop's signage, Earthbound Ceramics, caught our attention. Hubs thought it was a ceramics shop selling...ceramics. We walked on in. There was a ceramics workshop in progress. No problem. The owner was there and she was super cool. She and her husband own the shop. She explained the ceramics workshop studio concept. They offer a variety of classes for all skill types and ages; and membership levels. Even the students inside were cool and shouted out praise. Chill, friendly community vibe. The students were ethnically diverse even. The shop interior was beautifully designed. Modern, contemporary comfort. There are pamphlets outside the shop. I grabbed one as we left. The classes (especially the advanced classes) are taught by professional, experienced artists. The classes vary by topics (by skill level)and they even have classes for the kiddos. They also offer studio time, membership rates, and party event rental. The class pricing is comparable and to me possibly a bit cheaper than their Sacramento counterparts. What caught my attention was the 2 hour wheel throwing class $50. Hmm ... I thought to myself that would be a nice introductory course.

If you park near the Enterprise lot, the staff there will ask you to move your car (learned that the hard way), so plan to park on the street if possible. Now onto the class--overall, I had a good experience. The staff is super friendly and happy to answer any questions. They give all the instructions at the beginning, then you work independently while they check in with you periodically. Everyone has a different learning style, so this teaching method may work really well for some, while others (like me!) might prefer a more hands-on, step-by-step approach. Either way, I had a good time and I'm so glad I gave it a try!

This studio is filled with great instructors and students. It's always kept clean and organized…read more There are many options for glazing, and different options of clay that are held at the studio for purchase. I appreciate this place being more of a class setting than those one-time activities for date night or to hang with friends, because ceramics takes awhile to get a good handle on. Plus there is a process of the bisque and glaze fire which cannot be done in a day. My recommendation is to take the 8-week class and show up to every class. At the end of the course, I'm sure you will have a better understanding of pottery.
