    Dew Claw Studios is truly a Rhode Island gem! John and Kris are such kind, welcoming people that…read moremake ceramics accessible to all skill levels! The classes are relatively affordable and generally filled with diverse groups of people. Whether you're looking to hand build or throw pots on a wheel, Dew Claw Studios is a great pottery studio!

    A bad place for beginners. The owner is extremely nice and affable, but his inability to actually…read moreinstruct (particularly for the price of these classes!) is absurd. I initially signed up for a hand-building class and noted that the instructor seemed to enjoy socializing with studio "regulars" more than spending a lot of time truly instructing. Indeed, one day the entire class (instructor included) spent the ENTIRE class talking and no lesson was provided at all. This was of course bothersome, but something that I could work through since hand-building can be fairly intuitive/self-taught. Also, I was motivated to learn and this is practically the only studio in the area that offers these courses. However, I then signed up for a pottery wheel course, at which point the cracks began to truly show in terms of the instructor's limitations in the teaching arena. Certainly, the pottery wheel definitely requires a LOT of practice in order to become proficient. But if the majority of your class can't even CENTER a pot--the foundation of pottery wheel work-- by the 4th or 5th lesson (and are being taught by a few of the other class members who have somehow caught on), that truly indicates there's a problem. I attended several open studio sessions in an attempt to hone my skills prior to additional lessons, but again, the instructor would spend the entire time socializing with others working in the studio. You felt as though you were dragging him away from his chit-chat with studio regulars in order to get instruction that you were paying him for. Two studio regulars sitting beside me at my first open studio session finally took pity on me and taught me how to center, which is certainly not their job. But there you are. I stuck out the wheel course for perhaps 5 sessions, in the meanwhile the majority of other students in my section stopped attending. I finally joined them, as I could certainly think of better things to do on my day off than try to wrangle a pottery wheel with little-to-no instruction. I imagine Dew Claw is a fantastic place for those with a background in pottery who are looking to build on their skill-set. But whether they realize it or not, this studio is truly taking advantage of new students who pay a reasonable amount of money and spend a large amount of their time for little return.

    I had such a great experience at Visual Shift Art Studio! I was greeted with incomparable…read moreenthusiasm by both Alyssa and her partner, Manny (Designer 151). Their space is so well put-together and I felt extremely welcome upon entering. After looking around at all the outstanding artwork and items on display for sale and chatting about what we could do, Alyssa and I began our art project. She has so many different options to choose from, I took advantage of the hypertufa pot project. She did a great job explaining the process to me and showing me how to properly make the pots by making one alongside me. This was no ordinary class, I was delving into a new form of art that I had never tried before and it all seemed so easy with Alyssa's help and willingness to teach. I can't wait to go back to Visual Shift with my friends and see what other projects are in store for us. Alyssa told me about paint nights that she would be teaching in the upcoming future and that is definitely something I would try out and encourage others to attend. I look forward to seeing this business flourish and would definitely recommend to any person who is interested in an exciting art experience! Truly a hidden gem in RI.

We only wish the class was two hours. I would recommend the playhouse to anyone who is hoping to integrate more Spanish immersion into their family's life -- in a creative, gentle, playful, friendly, and encouraging way. Gracias!

    From the owner: The Spanish Playhouse is a family-run Spanish immersion program based in Providence, Rhode Island…read more Founded in 2021 by Julissa and Jorge, we set out to create a place where Spanish would come alive through art, music, movement, and imagination. What began with a handful of families has grown into a vibrant community of children who don't just learn Spanish, they live it. Julissa, our Program Director, brings 20 years of experience teaching children, with a background in both music and Spanish education, including her time as a Spanish and Music teacher at Ocean State Montessori School. Jorge, our Director of Operations, is a multi-instrumentalist with a music degree and the music teacher at the Playhouse, where he also teaches our adult Spanish class and our children's Spanish classes. Their daughter Amelia leads our online courses, bringing the Playhouse experience to families everywhere. Together with our wider team, including Miledy (Julissa's mother and Amelia's grandmother), we represent three generations of one family. We celebrate language, culture, and creativity in every child.
