Such a cute little spot that's a relatively recent add to the city hall/church street area. Was…read moregiven this experience as a gift and was so excited! They offer painting and mosaics! I've been to a paint-your-own pottery shop before but never a mosaic option! How cool! They have several premade pottery options, with lots of paint colors if you come to paint. For the mosaics they have pre created options that you tile. I was hoping for a circle option that resembled a garden stone but they were out at the time of my visit- not a negative thing at all as I totally understand that- but more so as a thought to plan ahead! I would suggest calling to see if they have the shape you are looking to mosaic before coming in. The only thing I would suggest for the space is to have more options that are not animal shaped to mosaic, as that would cater to the adult crowd more. I went with the heart mirror option and was excited to get to work! They have a wall of different colored shapes and sizes of colored tiles. I was given a tin to select a handful of colors to help separate. I am visiting family here and decided to do a VT sunset with their mountains as my inspo. The turn around time was quick! They were able to grout it for me (for an upcharge) and it was done and ready for pick up the next day! The ladies working were so sweet and helpful, explaining everything for me and checked in regularly on how the process was going. What a great reminder of family and my trip this year! They offer reservations online, you can also call in to book a reservation, and they do walk-ins as well. Lots of tables but I would recommend a reservation (esp with a larger group) to ensure you have a spot to sit to create!

There's a good variety of different types of art (some photography, some prints, some originals, pottery, jewelry, etc.) and they're at varying price levels. Though some artists are very expensive, they always have a ton of stuff that is really affordable, as well. I'm always able to find something at my desired price point for the day. I never mind spending a little more because everything is made by local Vermont artists, and makes for much nicer gifts than generic tourist trap type things. Their selection of ornaments for this year is so cute! Definitely recommend a stop in here over most other places on Church St.

To be honest, I was a little nervous because I am not much of a painter. But Natasha was so welcoming and had such a warm presence. Natasha was an excellent teacher-- encouraging and patient, but left room for you to add your creative touches. Natasha was especially good at checking in with each of us. I left the class with a beautiful painting of a snowy landscape that hangs in my bathroom today. I would highly recommend taking a class with her! Thank you, Natasha! -Holly D

Located on the second floor of an imposing Greek revival building, The Current museum is located at…read morethe Helen Day Memorial Library and Art Center on Pond Street in Stowe village. The Current hosts exhibitions of contemporary art produced by well-known nationally and internationally recognized artists and local Vermont artists -- including elementary school children -- and various events showcasing the art and the artists. On our recent visit to The Current, we happened to visit in between signature exhibitions and the museum was displaying works proudly produced by children from local elementary and middle schools in its three galleries. The quality of the artwork fell somewhat short of our expectations -- given the professional artists' work prominently featured on the museum's website -- but my art viewing companion and I still enjoyed viewing this exhibit and supporting the community. We will return to The Current visit next time we are in Stowe. Admission to The Current is free, although donations are welcome. Pro Tip: The Current also offers reasonably priced art classes for children and adults. Check the website for more information.
