Ezra taught us the basics and helped us learn how to play with clay. We all ended up with small pots, some more "creative" than others... We picked up our pots that we dried and kilned with the choice of glaze that we wanted a few weeks later. The studio itself is very warm and welcoming and well appointed with all kinds of tools and storage spaces etc. I hope to explore clay more with Manzanita soon...

I had the opportunity to take a wheel class, Ezra was amazing! My kiddo is taking the teens class now and he is loving it!!! Everyone should come out and support this studio, they are bringing something super important to the community; art, ceramics, crafting and most importantly inclusion. Their love and passion pour out into every inch of this space. The members are willing to help us non-members and this is just a very special place.

You come home with this tiny painting, and it's not worth it. And your painting may or may not come out right. I have thrown out couple of my paintings. I wasted my money.

My favorite are the ones of women because they are portrayed out-of-this-world beautifully. There is one that is two faces of girls or women (near the front of the building) that I really love and connected to the most because it looked like my sister and me. I really felt connected to that. It's so beautiful how pieces can have profound affects on us. I will definitely be back.

Our two themes there were date night (you and your partner work together to create 2 themed paintings) and then pet night (you email Amy a picture of your pet, she sketches it, and then you paint it). Amie provides everything and you BYOB and even food! I saw someone there eating a full on dinner while painting. She was totally fine with that. I love this place. Relaxed, fun, and personable. You can't go wrong.

She had our palettes and brushes set out, wipes for cleaning, and aprons to protect our clothes. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot as we are completely novice painters! She showed us how to use the knife and brushes to achieve different painting techniques by demonstrating and then helping out when, surprise, we were not perfect the first time! We were pleased with our results as well (shocker!). She was very patient and instructive. This was a fabulous introduction to painting, and we recommend Rita highly.

We had such a great time a few weeks later we went for one of her venues. So much fun... great food, drinks and cool people to meet. I'll definitely be taking more classes since now I think/believe I'm a closeted artist!!

In class, I followed the typical process of starting with drawing, progressing to shading, then painting. I have developed the ability to see subtleties in images that I did not notice before. This alone has improved my work. I have learned to create virtually any color from a limited palette, which has greatly simplified my process compared to what I was doing prior to the class. Albert, the instructor, has a relaxed demeanor and I recommend Martin Fine Art if you want to improve your painting.
