Dual location review: Fairmount and Queen Village…read more Philly Art Center has been part of my daughter's life since 4 years old (almost 10 now). I called the Art Center in Fairmount (it was only one location at that point) and spoke to Ms. Jill, explained that my daughter was a new 4 and I was concerned about leaving her. She nicely told me get over it and I would be fine (of course she didn't say that), she reassured me that she would be safe and have fun..after the first class, my daughter was hooked; it doesn't hurt that they get to color on the mirrors in the studio. Throughout the years my daughter has taken numerous classes at the Fairmount and Queen Village Centers, in addition to "Date Night", which you drop your child off for a couple hours and pick them up, I believe around 10pm; they feed them, they go to the gym, and of course do art. Not only are they doing art, the children learn about artists and how and why things are done. I believe the regular classes were about 90 minutes for children. There are general art classes but most of them have a theme or time period that they focus on; one of her favorite classes was pottery. Numerous adult classes and birthday parties are also offered. Recently my daughter started back at the Art Center for drop-in camp. Seeing Ms. Jill for the first time in years was the highlight of our day. While she is the owner, she is fully invested in the children and it shows by how much my daughter loves her! For camp, the campers get creative so it is recommended your child comes in play clothes and sneakers because the do go to the park; before-care and after-care is available. Over the years, due to scheduling conflicts we were unable to attend regularly, but anytime I hear someone talk about their children loving art, I always recommended the Art Center! Ms. Jill and her staff are amazing, now with an addition location in Cherry Hill, NJ! You go girl!!!

I've taken two classes there now, sewing 101 and quilting. Taught by different instructors, both so excellent at de-coding patterns and supporting you each step of the way! Extra shout out to Emily reaching quilting 101, who goes above and beyond to make sure that 6-9pm is still a productive learning time, assigning easy homework we can do independently, and literally offering to lend me a sewing machine for home because I'm so behind. I look forward to taking more of their classes! From bras to jackets, they have weeks-long series as well as one days.

I was even able to bring in my Grandmother's machine and Lara helped me get it set up and recommended a few pieces and tweaks.

I visited for a workshop that included a talk on Tofani doors and then a making session to create our own mini doors out of a slab of clay. I grabbed a vanilla latte and a chocolate croissant before the class started. The baristas were friendly and filled my order quickly. The croissant was fresh and tasty, and the vanilla latte was delicious. The latte was on the sweeter side, which I like. There's a small seating area in the cafe at the front of the space, and the clay workshops are held in the area behind that. There's a restroom in the back for customers. The entire space is clean and bright, and it was comfortably warm on a freezing winter day. The clay workshop I attended was led by Hannah, who is a friendly, patient, and engaged teacher. She gave just the right amount of guidance to encourage us and keep us on track. I can't wait to pick up my finished project in a few weeks once it's been glazed and fired. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on their calendar for future classes.

This is an honest review of my experience with this bartending school. There is no magical school…read morethat will allow you to go from a pure beginner to ready-to-bartend in two weeks. What this class does well, is get you ahead with the basics. You'll learn bar equipment, the order in which to do things, and the general flow of bartending. All of that is great. Unfortunately, the school does not have you make any actual alcoholic drinks. You only use water the whole time. This is not clear when you pay for the class. To be a bartender, it is required to make actual drinks to taste them. I was disappointed about this. Also, they claim to have job placement for the class graduates. Their "job placement" is just a list of restaurants/bars that say they're hiring. It has suggested hours to go in- but they aren't updated. After I graduated I went to 5 bars on the list during the mentioned time, and all of them were either closed or not hiring. Also, the class is quite expensive and in my opinion that cost should include the merchandise they offer such as a drink notepad, bartending kit, etc. I am now an experienced bartender. Worked at 4 craft bars. While the teachers are really nice, the drink methods are completely outdated. The way I was taught in this class to make several drinks was deemed wrong by multiple places. This class is fun. The people are nice to work with, and the bonding is nice too. It will give you a leg up in the bartending world. Do not expect a magical answer however. 3/5
