The cost for the 8 lessons are $175, very reasonable for the 2-hour lesson each week. It covers basic drWing techniques on the first 4 lessons, then we get to practice for the next 4 lessons. If you are looking for some ME time, this is highly recommended. I look forward to the class each week. They also have other types of art classes, such as ceramics, acrylic, oil, etc. Parking is on street or in the lot across.

Terra Clay Studio was still a fun experience overall, and the atmosphere was enjoyable for a group…read moreactivity. The selection for paint-a-pot was smaller than expected, but we were still able to find items to work on and had a good time. One thing that could definitely improve was the guidance and instructions provided. I noticed some groups received detailed explanations while others, including mine, received very little direction, and it didn't seem to relate to age or gender. Even so, it was a creative and enjoyable outing.

My sister, mom and I visited Terra for the first time today. We did the paint a pot which is…read moreavailable Friday-Sunday. Walk ins were welcome and we were greeted kindly and explained the process right away. Quite a selection of pieces to choose from with a reasonable price range. They allowed each person to choose 6 colors of paint. My only complaint was the color choices were limited, you could only choose the paints with the black dots, but we made it work. They supplied everything one would need. We were there for so long we seen a shift change, lol! But both workers were so nice! Overall, the place was clean, they had enough tables and chairs for everyone, and they even hold parties or events. Our pieces look a little dull currently but we will be back in approx. 1-3 weeks for our finished, bright and glossy plates! We will definitely be returning and recommending this place!

Making art together with your friends is a lot of fun--but having everyone sit down to make the…read moreexact same painting (as is the approach at many "wine & painting" studios) seemed a little lacking in creativity for my friends. Instead, we decided to meet at Whimsy By Kelly--and everyone had a great time! The studio is very convenient (the plaza is on Delaware Avenue, just south of Sheridan; her storefront is on the side facing Glencove Ave.) and there's plenty of parking. While it's in a newer commercial building, the 1950s vintage tables and chairs make it feel warm and inviting--and just the right amount of quirky. For the party, Kelly consulted with me on what kind of activity we wanted to do, and we settled on a Zentangle crash course. Zentangle is a meditative drawing practice that anyone can do--you don't have to be "good at art" to make successful drawings using this method! Best of all, all of our artwork looked different! With the tools and techniques she covered, we were each able to produce something unique. She also sent us each home with a little drawing kit so we could practice on our own. In addition to Zentangle, she also offers LOTS of other art classes for kids, teens, and adults. There's something for everyone, regardless of skill level or experience--you can even do finger painting! We really enjoyed our evening and look forward to returning soon for another group "art night."

Locust Street is a treasure! They have free and low cost art classes for kids and adults…read more Each season, they have a selection of scheduled structured classes for which you can register for a small fee. Those classes very season to season- pen and ink animals, print making, special ceramics projects, photography, etc. I took a 3 session Monet class, a figure drawing class, and an intro to pottery wheel class for a fraction of what other clay studios charge. My Monet ended up hanging in the lobby. Each season, they also have open art studio time - kids drawing, teen/adult drawing and painting, ceramics, senior sessions, and more. Three week days and Saturdays the center is open and you can work on your own projects with an instructor on hand for questions or advice. All the materials are provided. Everything is free with suggested donation amounts. This is such a wonderful asset to our community.

Party in North Buffalo!…read more Compact - Party space for up to 100-150 or so. North Buffalo, near Delaware Park and the Zoo, good catering, great, open, easy-to-use space. Street parking. Expanded - Next to the FLW Darwin Martin House is the Greatbatch Pavilion. This large open space has various pieces of historical info about the Darwin Martin House, but it also provides a venue for a cocktail party (up to 150), a formal sit down dinner (up to 100) or a lecture space. I like this space because it is long, open and has unobstructed views throughout. You can really see what is happening from anywhere in the space. You will overlook the Darwin Martin House from this (mostly windows) space. Its an unobstructed view. Gorgeous day or night. The restrooms are modern and functional. There is a space for coatracks, or you can have a coat check. I'm not sure if there is a choice of caterers, but the food I have had at a few events has been good. The service professional and unobtrusive. Its available 7 days a week for rentals. While they don't do weddings or wedding receptions here, they are open for anything else, including the rehearsal dinner. It unique and beautiful. You can decorate to make it "your own" too. Street parking. 10/2015
