I have taken about four classes here, with two different teachers. My artistic ability is about…read moreaverage. I love looking at mosaics. Therefore, I took two mosaics arts courses. The instructor provided a detailed handout how you do everything, and she was very patient with the class. Later, on my own, I ordered a marble mosaics art kit from Italy, using the skills that I learned from the two classes. Later on, I took two embroidery classes from a different teacher. The two classes had beginner students, and students had some skills. The teacher was very, very understanding with my limited skills. I particularly love to do embroidery. I found a new hobby! If I had time, I would take a class from each of these instructors again.

I have supported the Arts Alliance for years through their craft shows and buying from their…read moreartists. I took my first class here a couple weeks ago to make a dried flower wreath. It was $70 for two hours. We literally did nothing for the first hour. We waited for two women to arrive 20 minutes late. We watched a slideshow about the artist's previous life running a daycare. Then we went around the room and took turns introducing ourselves. We were given a wreath and some sort of twine. There was no demonstration about how to connect the flowers to the wreath. We were given photos of different kinds of arrangements, but those flowers were not there. It was clear other people had taken classes before, and some were quite advanced. I had no idea and had never used a glue gun, as this was supposed to be open to all levels. The teacher would just say things like "attach the flowers in groups" but I didn't know how I was supposed to attach them? I was so frustrated and humiliated. I was going to throw my wreath out but another student took it home to use the materials. The teacher also mentioned another pressed flower class, and a student mentioned that she'd be taking it and was excited. The teacher mentioned they'd be doing advanced techniques bc wildflowers were so boring. The student said she'd never done this before, but the teacher completely blew her off and started talking about how exciting it would be to deconstruct a rose. I contacted the Arts Alliance about my concerns, and they just said that other people liked this teacher and that she was new, but they'd pass on my concerns. I asked for a refund, as $70 is quite a lot of money for me. There was no reply. I think the Arts Alliance is a fantastic place to support artists, I'd just avoid their classes.

I love a good night at the theater and any excuse to be outdoors in the summer, so the Brandywiners…read moreoutdoor performance of Beauty and the Beast was the perfect summer night! $30 ticket gets you admission to Longwood Gardens, a theater show, and don't miss the fountain light show afterwards! It's pretty incredible that most of these people have full time jobs and dedicate a summer to this. They do an awesome job with sets, costumes, and singing! It's cute how excited kids get and they often have a meet and greet with the actors after the show. Pro tip: wait till the week of and check the weather before you buy tickets because if the show is rained out you can't get a refund and they might not decide until a half hour after the show, after delaying it several times (this happened last year) and you might not be able to make the rain date. Also, bring bug spray and a sweater, it can get chilly.

Saw the Brandywiners perform the musical "Shrek" at Longwood Gardens last weekend. What a fun…read moreshow! I went with a friend, and was impressed with the show itself (more fun and hip that I'd assumed) and the performance of the very large cast. The whole show was good; some of the individual peformaces were outstanding. Some tips: You can get dinner ahead of time in the Longwood Gardens cafeteria-style restaurant, about a two-minute walk. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, and outdoor jazz on Thursday evenings. Your theater ticket also gets you admission to the entire Longwood Gardens, if you want to arrive a few hours early and stroll around. The show is outdoors, so bring bug spray. Stick around for the fountain and lights show, starting about 10 minutes after the show ends.
