Lovely place to learn how to work with clay! My friend recommended Atelier Forma to me after I had…read morecomplained about how difficult it was to find pottery classes in the city. After our discussion, I promptly signed up for an 8-week wheel throwing session. In the span of 2 months, I learned how to wedge clay, create cups, bowl and plates, trim and glaze my pieces. It was challenging, yes, but the feeling I got when I held my finished product was more than worth it. What set this studio apart was its philosophy to push students to explore their creativity. We were taught the basics, but after that the sky was the limit. Bojanna, the owner and teacher, was incredibly patient with us and had boundless, contagious energy. In addition to teaching and making beautiful pottery, she also hosts various arts and crafts classes at the studio. Spots sell out fast so I would advise to sign up to the newsletter if you're interested in trying this out. I loved my experience so much that I've already signed up for their open studios!

I first visited this studio through a Yelp event, and I'm so glad I went! Since that hand-building…read moreworkshop, I have taken 3 wheel-turning classes and 1 hand-building class. This is a fantastic studio and Bojana is amazing! What I love about this studio is: - Variety of clay options - porcelain, speckled, black - Variety of glaze options - 40+ colours of over glaze and under glaze. - Warm welcoming atmosphere & positive vibes - Great teachers and students - Proximity to Fabre metro - Very reasonable prices for classes and open studio, both of which come with 1/2 lb of clay, firing, and glazing. If you're looking for a new hobby or place to continue an old one, look no further, Atelier Forma is for you.

CLC is an excellent language school that I want to return to! Montreal is so close to Vermont where…read moreI live. It's the obvious locale for studying French, but which school? I highly recommend CLC. Every CLC instructor I had was dynamic, expert at teaching, kind, full of humor, and very attentive to each student. I was stunned by the specificity of the feedback they provided about my progress. And I did progress. I can only imagine if I'd been able to stay two months instead of two weeks. My classmates' French seemed at a compatible level with mine, and we quite naturally supported each other. Our teachers' guidance got us sharing from the heart about our lives and world views, all in the language we were learning. I already miss my new friends. I took the Intensive 25. Starting at 10 a.m., I had three 45-minute classes, each with a different teacher. They were energetic, tuned in to everything and everyone, and never boring. When the 2nd or 3rd teacher of the day came in, they would often pick up on what we'd been working on with the previous teacher. This is a superb level or organization and internal communication. Three afternoons per week, I had a 1-hour private lesson. The Intensive 25 includes fun afternoon activities. I attended French Tea Time to practice my French (with yummy donated tea from David's) and had fun at English Tea Time, too, helping English learners practice. The Intensive 25 is the program I would take again. I will most likely continue my studies with a CLC video class, too. I want to build on the gains I made here!

The CLC is more than just a language school. In addition to offering language courses it also…read moreoffers the community language practice sessions and hosts monthly Festive Fridays which are open to everyone. I never took a class here but I have been to multiple Festive Fridays and practice sessions so I will cover that in this review. The concept behind their language practice sessions, or "Tea Time" as they call it is simple. You can either pay $2 or contribute a box of cookies to be enjoyed while you sit around with the others and practice a language in a casual and relaxed setting. They offer Tea Times in English, French, Japanese and Spanish. For a while I was a regular at French Tea Time because I found it helpful. They always had volunteers on hand who spoke the language either as their mother tongue or fluently so you always had experienced people to practice with. I even volunteered at the English tea time to help others work on their English. In fact the only reason I stopped going was because I ended up getting a new job and my work schedule didn't mesh well with the Tea Time schedule. That is the one downside to this program. It runs from 4 to 6 so if you work a 9 to 5 job you can't make it. Once a month the school also hosts Festive Fridays. These are events designed to introduce the students as well as anyone else who comes by to food from another culture. If you are a student admission is free but for anyone else you have to pay a small fee of $5. Each event centers around a certain food from a particular culture. I have been to taco nights, takoyaki nights and crepe nights. All were quite fun and the atmosphere was indeed festive. This is a great community-oriented school. While I can't speak for the quality of the classes I highly recommend checking out the Tea Time or Festive Fridays. Both are excellent opportunities to work on your language skills and get to know more about the school.

I purchased a groupon for Paint Nite after seeing a few ads on Facebook. A friend and I went to a…read moremedium difficulty painting night at the Bull Pub and had a great time. The instructions for the painting are explained step by step throughout the process and an assistance walks throughout the painters to help out. My only issue was that seating was arranged so that a couple of us had our backs to the presenter making it difficult/annoying to have to turn around every 5 seconds. Also, there should be an effort for the staff of paint nite or the bar to come around and take drink orders, if you step away to get a drink you'll miss steps of the painting and have a hard time catching up. It was great to see all the different interpretations of the same painting by the end of the night. Will certainly be headed back.

The tables are large, in case you want to study or work. I ordered several cookies and a cold brew. The cookies were amazing, I shared them between some friends and no crumbs were left alive. The cold brew was just okay, not amazing but good enough. The space for pottery is large and while I haven't taken a class, I would love to do that in the future. Overall, a great coffee place to visit and support

I visited with a foodie friend on an early Sunday afternoon for brunch and we were really satisfied. It got a bit busy but I managed to get a good table before the rush came in. The menu is simple but they have many good choices. I got the grilled cheese and it was delicious. I also got to try the soup of the day, it was bell pepper and carrot, it was also amazing. Came with little croutons and bread. We also got a piece of banana, coffee, and peanut butter cake. Pretty good for a vegan cake. It wasn't dry and the peanut butter icing was just sweet enough. I had a cold mochaccino with coconut milk and it was ok, I really don't like coffee that much though so maybe that's why I didn't love it. I thought it was bitter still even though there was only a bit of coffee in it. I needed a bit of caffeine to kick start my Sunday and that's why I got it. What I really like about this cafe is that they offer pottery classes in the building over. We could see the class while we ate, it looked fun! They also sell the creations of some of their Montreal artists in store. Service is also very nice and they are very friendly when answering questions about the menu.
