That was pretty cool. And the staff person working was really nice. There are lots of different colors and patterns to use, and they will help you out if you ask. I saw a chihuahua and immediately had to paint it. They have lots of different animals, which I was hoping for. I couldn't find many pictures of what they had online so I took a bunch while I was there. They also have plates and pottery that you can make. I think the piece I got was like $15, so with the studio fee and tax, it was like $21. I really don't think that's bad, and I had a lot of fun doing it. For the people that have complained about the pricing on here, I think it's pretty fair. They supply the paint and brushes that you need, and then they clean everything up for you. There are some really big pieces that are $50, so that would get expensive, but I would think it most cases that would be a one time thing. It would be nice is if you could leave with your piece, and add glitter or rhinestones and stuff to it. When I was little I used to go to a place like this in a different state, and they had more stuff you could add, and you got to go home with your figurine. Here you have a to wait a week and go pick it up. So if the location is out of your way, you need to go out of your way again. Still fun though, and I'd definitely go again. There's tons of things you can make, and it's a fun and different activity for a night out.

This place is beyond amazing. They are in the village of spencerport. This is a locally owned and…read moreoperated business. A wife and husband team. They offer all sorts of classes along with walk in hours to create something wonderful. They have many options for projects and ideas. A few winters ago they offered a Christmas truck class which was a blast. They also do birthday parties in their back room. With covid I am not sure if they are back into that just yet. They do offer a summer camp for kids and those finished projects they post on Facebook look so good. They are following all covid guidelines. When the pandemic first hit they pivoted their business to take home kits. They have an online shop where you can buy the kits. They were the cutest kits. Customer service is amazing here. They love their customers and business. They are true artists so if you need help with technique or glaze selections they will definitely help you get your finished product to look amazing. It is an affordable activity even for the littlest artist. I love this locally owned and operated business. This is way better than the franchise options in the area.

The Flower City Arts Center is an amazing community space offering art opportunities for ALL…read morepeople: with classes for youth (pottery classes for ages 3 and up, teen classes, workshops and summer camps) and adults, for every level (beginner, intermediate and advanced), in several disciplines (photography, book arts and ceramics, plus offerings in drawing and painting) there is something for everyone! In the years since covid, the FCAC has not only survived, but they have thrived! Thanks in large part to a generous and supportive community of members and students, luck with grants, and a dedicated staff, they have weathered two leadership changes, have innovated with online course offerings and collaborations, and have upgraded the facility's security and air exchange systems to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all students, teachers, members, staff and community attendees. If you haven't visited in a while there are lots of things going on: -- check out exciting new class listings each quarter - weekend workshops, multi-day/week classes, artist talks -- join us on a First Friday when the galleries are open (and free!), highlighting local talent -- take part in our upcoming Flower City Pottery invitational (this year, Oct 13-15, 2023) - a 3-day ceramics event featuring artist talks, demos and a large and eclectic variety of items for sale -- Watch for community collaborations like the Clarissa Uprooted - Pythodd Tribute Mural Unveiling & Celebration on Main Street, in conjunction with Teen Empowerment The FCAC is a place I not only love and support (in case you can't tell from this review and my two others...), but as a 24/7 renter, I actively use the space too. I'd love to see more of your faces there - next time you are around ask for me and tell them I sent you!

I was sent to Intro to Adobe Illustrator by my work, and had the best experience. There was a ton of content crammed into our semester, and I now confidently create advertisements, eblasts, and social media content for my organization in Illustrator exclusively. Working in Illustrator can often be frustrating, but Jeremy (the instructor) answered my questions with grace, patience, and a sense of humor. A gift certificate to this center makes for a great gift! There is a wide variety of class offerings, and many opportunities to push yourself or someone you love out of their comfort zone. Nonprofit art centers like Flower City are the backbone of ROC, and make it the cultural beacon that it is. I hope to someday become a member and make use of this facility on a more regular basis.
