Gather holds a number of different crafting classes, from painting to macramé, to candles and body scrubs, and everything in between! They also offer seasonal classes such as wreath-making and chunky blanket weaving. I attended a private "Scrub & Bubbly" party where we made 3 different body scrubs to take home. The sweet owner Meleya was our instructor and had the mimosa bar and our work space, nicely organized with all of our tools and ingredients, set up when we arrived for our 90 minute class. She had some pre-printed recipe suggestions for us or we could make up our own concoctions as far as what scents we liked. Everyone's individual sugar scrubs turned out amazing! It was such a fun and enjoyable time, sipping on our mimosas and getting our hands dirty (and by that, I actually mean, getting our hands CLEAN AND SOFT AND SMELLING WONDERFUL!). Perfect spot to host a special event (birthdays, showers, etc.) or if you're just in a crafting mood. So gather your friends, make something awesome, and have a great time!

Gather hosts a variety of craft classes. You can learn to knit an infinity scarf, glass etching, jewelry stamping and so much more. The day I attended their one year anniversary event we made a glass gratitude jar and a hanging succulent in a glass ornament. I had so much fun! You can book your own private party, you can bring food and snacks for that or use their local chefs and bakers. Visiting here with a group of friends would be fun, for girls night out. Date night or a this is a great birthday party idea too! I'm looking forward to returning soon!

They carry art from over 60+ artists, each piece is truly unique and a conversational piece. Some of my favorites art pieces include the motorcycles made from spark plugs & spare bolts, the skateboard decks turned into wall lamps and the vampire survival kits built into old radios. The staff is always super friendly and eager to explain the history behind any of the pieces. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you check them out and find some truly unique gifts for yourself and the ones you love.

I was totally lost with how to execute my vision and how to make it come to life within my budget. Shannon looked at my inspiration and she guided me right through and made suggestions that made my space just beyond anything I could have dreamed. Her creativity and intuition are so special and I can rely on her to solve any design problems. Now let's talk about the store. It is so inspiring and beautiful. All of the pieces are special and such good quality. They made it easy to order and receive all of my pieces and they were able to order things for me that I could never have found on my own. They have the best events and the sale is EPIC. I can't wait to work on my next space with them because the joy I feel being surrounded by the beauty Shannon creates is priceless!!!!

I explained that I could no longer attend because I needed to be present for the funeral and ceremony, but my request was still denied. What made the experience worse was that Dave Wilkerson, Director of ACAI Studios & Gallery, personally doubled down on the decision despite the circumstances. A policy is one thing, but compassion and basic humanity should still matter. Being treated this rigidly during a family loss was honestly upsetting and disappointing. I would not recommend supporting an organization that responds this way to someone dealing with a bereavement emergency. Would you want to be treated this way after losing a family member?

Took a throwing class with Terry, who was great. He was super informative and willing to help…read morethroughout all my four classes. I ended up making about 5 pieces throughout the four classes. We glazed during our fourth and final class, meaning we had to return to find our pieces. When I came back the fifth week, my pieces were still not fired in the kiln yet. So I decided to come back in two weeks. That's where I ran into my issue. All of our completed pieces are in a separate room where the glazing happens. There was another instructor, bald lady who I believe instructs the hand throwing class, who was teaching her class how to glaze. My friend and I were looking for our pieces, trying to be as quiet as possible. However, noise is going to be made as we're rummaging through a bunch of finished pieces. There are about four separate sections where our pieces could be, so as we were going through the finished pottery pieces, someone from her class asked my friend and I to be quiet, which we were already trying to be as quiet as possible. She said that we were being rude and disruptive. However, this is just the nature of this room. People are going to be going in and out, trying to find their pieces, as they only place the finalized pieces here. This is when I expected the bald instructor to speak up but she was super rude as well. She was demeaning and condescending towards us. She talked down to us as if my friend and I were 5 years old. When we were looking through the non fired pieces, she raised her voice telling us not to touch the pieces if they weren't ours. The issue is, when you paint the glaze, not only does your piece look completely different, but the glaze is all different types of crazy colors. The only way to verify if the piece is yours is if you find your name on the bottom of the piece. So not only were we not able to verify if those pieces were ours, as the instructor was giving us attitude, we weren't able to find all of our pieces. We went back to our instructor, who was kind enough to find our pieces for us. Overall, we had a good experience but that last instructor really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm conflicted on what score to give, and really feel as though how are you an instructor when you are so rude? For sure left a bad taste in my mouth.

This is an adult education center in San Juan School District. Very convenient location with lots…read moreof parking. My main interest as a retired person is in art classes and this is where I finally found classes to suit my needs. Lynn Morrison teaches water color painting, acrylic painting, drawing and multi-media arts. She really is a wonder and a supportive and generous teacher. I like her pattern of showing how a certain work is started, layered, and completed as the class worked along side of her. This year they added Asian Fine art brush and ink painting. Myungsook Piette really knows her medium and is very generous with materials. She demonstrates technique and allows lots of time to practice. Each session we learned one of the "Four Gentlemen" and mounted a completed painting. We also carved our own stamp to sign our works. There is also photography instruction. I found the material useful in class, but I don't own the software, so I couldn't practice outside of class. The teacher Roy Salisbury is very well prepared and knows what he is talking about. In the spring students can show their work at a week-long art show at Mesa Verde High School. There is also an art sale later in the spring. This is definitely a reasonably priced center where you can get excellent art instruction. The Spring Catalog is now out and online at www.sanjuan.edu/sunrisetc

It's a tough ride going home as you hit rush hour traffic. The commute time nearly doubles going home. It's a real commitment to come to these classes. When you arrive another class (Open Figure Drawing Studio, no instructor is included in the class) is letting out so depending on how early you arrive there will be more or less parking. They have a private lot and you will always find a parking space even if you have to park on the street. Carol Hawkins teaches a monthly painting with paper class. I also believe she teaches a biweekly acrylic class on Saturdays. If you are interested in any of these classes just contact the Sacramento Fine Arts Center for a schedule. The painting with paper class is $75 (Check or Cash) and includes all the supplies. As you can see from the below picture she draws out the design so you don't start with a complete blank canvas. She walks you step by step on how to complete your painting. I've been attending her class for a few years and really enjoy the classes. I can't always make them as I can't always get the time off from work and due to I work full time I have to take time off to attend the class. These classes are fast paced so you need to be prepared for this. There is no messing around. I've been lucky and have been able to finish all of my paintings in the time limit and sometimes I can even leave with a done painting 30 minutes early. Now it won't be dry in that time limit, but it dries in my car and in my house. Not everyone is so Lucky. I'd be so sad if I weren't able to finish my paining. I definitely am not one to finish a project at home as wouldn't have the needed supplies. She is good at being a timekeeper and gives you count downs as to how much time you have left. She will also go around and help you if you need it. I need the most help when it comes to adding the acrylic parts to the paintings. I'm not the best painters so. I need the extra assistance. I'm more of a fan of the all paper classes where paint isn't involved. Once you get on her mailing list she will send you out reminders about upcoming classes and show you what the project is for that time. She asks for RSVPs around a week or two in advance. By then I usually can tell her if I got the time off work or not. And I should note that it was 102 the day of our last class and the AC was blasting. I always have that concern that their AC won't be working that day and I would have driven all the way out there to be miserable. So far my fear hasn't come true.
