Artful Soul Santa Fe…read more I took a Saturday night painting class here and had such a great experience. I worked on a landscape inspired by the hills of Taos, and what really stood out wasn't just the painting itself--it was how the whole evening felt. Laura and Mickey are wonderful teachers. They guide you step by step in a way that's clear and supportive, but never rigid. There's a real encouragement to follow your own vision, to experiment, and to not take it all too seriously. It creates this relaxed, creative energy where you can actually enjoy the process instead of worrying about getting it "right." The whole space feels warm and welcoming, and it's easy to settle in and just paint. By the end of the night, I felt both proud of what I made and inspired to keep going. If you're looking for a fun, supportive place to explore painting, I'd definitely recommend checking out a class here.

I came to Santa Fe on a bachelorette trip, which I planned for my sister. She was interested in pottery and we found this absolute gem of a place. I cannot recommend highly enough! Every one of the 6 of us who went felt rejuvenated after the class, it was a fun, creative experience but also somehow meditative. Theo brings the best vibes and was a great, wise, kind leader of the class. I will definitely try to come back on a future visit and if you are contemplating a class or experience, contemplate no further--- pick this one!!

I also rented studio space to do hand building while living in Santa Fe for the month of June. The studio is beautiful, with excellent lighting and very good equipment. Big tables, lots of shelf space. The sign up schedule is easy to understand and the hours available are generous and a reasonable price. Theo was easy to work with, answered questions quickly and was so accommodating. I've worked in many clay studios and besides how well it is is equipped, there is always a vibe, an energy. The energy that Theo has created here is creative, generous, gracious and warm and it attracts clay artists who fit that description perfectly. Loved every minute I spent there, eager to return.

Later while looking up yarn stores on Yelp I found the listing for Miriam's Well and saw the location was right where that sign was, so I called to ask about parking. Miriam answered and told me where to park (the first driveway past the sign while going clockwise on PdP, you have to go down the alley to the end then turn right and then you'll find her shop and a couple places to park in front of it. She has a great little yarn shop with supplies for weavers as well as knitters and crocheters. Miriam is a very nice lady with a great selection of yarns - standards like Berroco, Cascade, Plymouth, Noro as well as a lot of more hard-to-find and more local options as well. Some really gorgeous stuff! She has many sample garments prepared, I'm not sure if they were for sale but there were so many I suspect that some of them are. I myself came out of there with a skein of Great Adirondack sock yarn and a skein of Plymouth Yarns "Happy Feet". Prices were pretty standard compared to other similar shops, she did have a couple specials as well. I will be sure to visit every year when I'm in town!

The staff is uniformly friendly, supportive, and professional. The campus is beautiful, and the facility and equipment on hand are all of high quality. And of course Santa Fe is a photographer's playground. There is soooo much to shoot in and around town. And the Workshops has an extremely diverse, attractive, and interesting stable of models that they work with. I can't wait to get back and take another workshop there!
