First time making a pot ever and I tried it at Studio Claremont during a Sunday for an adult class…read more The teacher gave us instructions on how to make pottery items. It is your choice on how big or small you want it and how you would like to paint it as well. Just note that you should not paint the bottom of it so when they can bake it, it will be ok. Overall the session was fun and yes your hands will be a little messy from the clay but you can wash them, inside of the studio towards the back. I came with a party of four and all of us came with something unique and different. I would do this again and can't wait for my next projects. Oh yeah, you will not get it right away you have to let it stay a few days and they will leave it outside with a locker code so you can pick it up anytime after it gets baked in the oven.

My kids are 7 and 9 and love arts and crafts and I wanted to get them into a more structured setting to learn the basics of drawing and shading. Mrs. Gracesol is very kind and attentive. Each child works individually during the class, but gets individual instruction and feedback on their project. Enrollment is monthly w/ 4 classes. She has been very prompt to reply to my emails and texts and couldn't be happier with the experience. The classes are held in a semi industrial area of Claremont, but the art/classroom itself is fun and inviting. I definitely recommend if you're looking for an art class to help build skills.

Elizabeth Preston's Art Studio is a treasure in Claremont. Elizabeth is a dedicated professional,…read moreartist, and successful business woman. I have attended individually and also group art lessons at the studio and on zoom. All formats were successful, and engaging. I learned painting and art techniques such as contrast, composition, landscapes and abstracts using water color, acrylics, collage, and alcohol inks. Her lessons are always fresh, creative, and fun. Elizabeth inspires you to use your imagination and creativity and had an art show inviting all her students to display their work. She also offers creative journaling for the participant to empower themselves regarding life's challenges such as heath, career, stress, life's transitions such as retirement and relationships. Elizabeth is passionate about art!

I started off hand building as I didn't like sitting down doing the wheel while my lower back hurts.

Super enthusiastic and encourages students to explore their creativity. Thank you Josh for creating a cozy and engaging atmosphere!! I love the patio... you hear the birds chirp and wind breeze. Pure bliss.

This place is in a very busy location, so parking can be difficult. I checked their opening time…read moreand made sure to arrive about five minutes after they opened. Unfortunately, the employee arrived late for her shift, so nothing was ready when we went in. Her personality also wasn't great, you could tell she had either just woken up or had a long night. It started getting busier after we left. We were there for a little over an hour. The tastings were good, but very single-noted. They definitely limit the tasting options compared to the large selection of wines they actually have. That said, the restaurant itself looked nice and clean, and the glasses were sturdy and easy to swirl in. I think this place could make for a good night out, so I'm hoping we just caught them on a bad day.

Even though the class duration was set to last for 2 hours, she said it'd be fine if we went a little over. I didn't realize how fun and relaxing painting is and I can't wait to come back. Taking a painting class here would be a great idea for a group get together or an intimate date. 10/10 would recommend :)

There are many art galleries in their "village," but the Ahmad Shariff Art Gallery is, by far, the best. Ahmad features both established artists and those from the local community who hold great promise. He has an eye for talent and his prices are reasonable. There is a wonderful art museum across the street and Pomona College has their art museum just two blocks away. These three location alone are a reason to visit Claremont, but, as one will discover, there are many more.

We were invited to take a trial class today, it turned out marvelously as my little one was able to get individual attention and step-by-step guidance from Phebie. She can't stop talking about what she learnt on the ride home and of course she can't wait to come back. Phebie is a natural teacher in sharing her love for knitting. The shop is a beautiful space showcasing rare talents for an art form that is sadly often overlooked by mass produced quick fashion of the season. The yard shop is within the Claremont packing house, acai bowls, coffee, lunch, bookstore are all within the building with free parking next door to boot, it is a great place to spend a day.
