Given the time for teaching (roughly 30 minutes) and another 20 for cleaning up your station and washing everything you end up with roughly 40 minutes of spinning, much less than I initially expected.

There are date night classes for two and a one time sampler class. Plus, if you've already been to a class there's the option to book an open studio. Which is a spot to come and create. You can also rent out the studio for small groups. I booked my wife a one off Sunday class. Unfortunately, something came up and she was unable to attend so I went in her space. I am glad that I went it was a delightful way to spend a Sunday! The try-it class fee includes one fired & glazed finished piece. (There is the option to purchase other creations as well.) The instructor for the one off Sunday class was great. They explained and showed the process we would take before giving us space to create at our own stations. The showing was great for me as I am the type of person who learns by doing so being able to see the wheel in action, see the movements that change the shape of the clay, and the tools that were going to be used set me up for success when it comes to (attempting) to create on the wheel. Each station had a wheel, many sections of pre-cut ready to be thrown clay, water, tools that could be used, and a posted reminder of the process of creation. (I appreciated this as it gave me something to refer to as I was attempting to create a masterpiece!) During the class time the instructor was walking about offering help, and sharing tips to aid in the creation of our pieces. After creation, you help clean up your station, and choose the glaze color for your creation. Glaze options were blue, green, and red. At the time of this class the turn around time from creation to glazed, fired, and ready to be picked up was four weeks from the class date. ------ Previous to this class I hadn't used a wheel in well over 25 years. (And that was only once or twice in art classes in elementary and middle! So nothing that would give me considerable skills.) I am planning on booking one of the couple classes so that the wife and I can create together. All in all, I highly recommend checking out the offerings at Bareclay and booking a class if you are able! Nice space to try out something new or to get back into something you enjoyed in a comfortable and friendly environment.

As a result of a conflict with my roommate, the school failed to take any action. In addition, when compared to the math class at my new university, I feel that CCAD needs to improve its current curriculum as it lags behind other schools such as IU and Ohio State. This is my opinion because people should have a basic understanding of general educational knowledge before they go into full-scale art, as they will need to know how to write proper essays and how to perform basic math functions during their lifetime.

When I attended, about half the freshman class dropped out due to not being able to keep up. It's rigorous! By the time I graduated, less than 20% of my original class made it through the program. If you are SERIOUS about art and design this school will be fantastic. Students from all over the country, including international students come to CCAD. If you aren't prepared to work, you'll fail. Professors are friendly and helpful if you make the effort. I was offered a job at Hallmark Cards and recruited before I graduated. Honestly, the best 4 years of my life.
