The owner (I am assuming her name is Kym) was very helpful, as were her daughter and son who were helping her out. They gave advice during the session, and brought fresh water to rinse paintbrushes. They came with more paint when we requested it. They also helped us blowdry the canvasses. It was the instructor's first time and he did great. I am not an artist and don't consider myself creative, so I was a bit nervous, but it turned out just fine. You can book and pay online, after choosing the day by whatever painting you want to create. All you need to bring is your own wine; they have available corkscrews and stemless glasses. I look forward to returning to create more art!

Pam worked with us to figure out the best way to do it with our limited time and truly went above and beyond to accommodate our party. Even the day before and day of she was pivoting to make sure we had beautiful shirts. This was one of many stops over our bachelorette weekend but it was definitely a highlight and provided a lasting memory.

The event was well organized, as the canvas/paints/brushes/smocks are all provided. The activity itself was SO much fun! We ate pizza, sipped on wine and paint to our heart's content! Even though we had a large party of about 30 painters, the instructors, Anna, came around and helped me several times, even showing me what I needed to do and offering feedback. She was supportive and helpful. Despite my dreadful painting, I LOVED my experience with Art with Anna. I especially loved that the money raised went to support cancer research at the James.

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.

Bareclay offers several types of classes at the moment. Currently class options are one day each…read moreweek, for three weeks (evening & daytime). 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.

I'd only bought clay from a Ceramics Store or Michaels in the past, so a formal ceramics store was *~*InTiMiDaTiNg*~* (I'm not a real artist ya'll)!!! I'd taken some impromptu lessons in a makerspace with Wichita State University Ceramics Adjunct Prof. Susan DeWitt (and she was an invaluable & loving guide!!)-- but no critiqued or graded courses! Buckeye Ceramics Supply staff is knowledgeable, friendly (once they warm up to you ) and reliable! Susan Mahoney ( I was blessed with TWO SUE's in the god craft of Pottery) -- while she worked here was a graceful and warm representative; I love that having an account at Buckeye Ceramics helps me organize my inventory and track my firings (They call when a piece of artwork has an issue in the Kiln, or when your artwork successfully completes firing). They offer studio memberships at attractive and fair rates for a compared metro area. Seasonally they give away freebies as they clean out the glazes etc from the studio workshop/classroom. Hey Introverts! Since I've been a customer I've seen their stocking change to include small local/artisan made tools which I LOVE! For example: Dirty Girls Bats. Hopefully one day they'll have Garrity Tools, or Elan Transfers, Plum Island etc etc.. but you never know what you'll find unless you frequent! BCS is in perpetual artistic motion If you're Ceram-Curious or a Master you'd be a fool not to stop by!!! ***During Covid 19 beginnings they actively contact traced too btw. ***

Rather, it is principally a place of research, where a variety of specimens, images, recordings, books, and more covering a range of creatures and plant life can be studied. The collections are very impressive and run the gamut: mites and ticks, animal sounds, insects, fish, plants, molluscs, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds. The materials are used for teaching at OSU, as well as research, and the collections can also be viewed by groups, classes, and individuals by arranging a visit in advance with the museum. Annually, the museum hosts an open house, when anyone can stop by. Kids are encouraged, as well, and the staff and volunteers do a great job of putting together fascinating activities and information using samples from the various collections, as well as showing the types of equipment and methods they use to collect samples. Very neat place!
