Their teaching staff is among the best in the region, all of whom are professional artists and musicians. Their group art classes are intentionally small to allow for individualized attention. The music classes are one-on-one and the school offers 30, 45 or 60-minute increments. They accept children as young as 6 and offer lessons for adults, too.

She really was a rude and nasty misandrist. The unspoken problem appeared to be our differences in politics even though we never discussed these. In fact I bent over backwards to avoid any contoversial subject. I was learning how to hand sew Revolutionary War reenacting garments and it is my opinion she resented this hobby. In addition, she would often make disparaging remarks to me in front of the class. I wrote a complaint letter to program director and never even received the courtesy of a response. Putting my interactions aside, the facility itself is completely run down. The bathrooms are disgusting, the hallways and offices have musty odors, there is no adequte air conditioning during the summer, the exterior grounds are a mess, and the building would likely fail a fire safety inspection. I have subsequently found several superior alternatives.

Horrible Experience! I booked a sculpture class for my cousin and myself as a Christmas present for…read moremy cousin a few days before Christmas. Booked on the website as it says to, paid and everything. We get there today after receiving a reminder email and text from the website yesterday and nobody was there. Waiting in the cold for twenty minutes after calling twice during that time trying to find out what was going on and left voicemails. Mira the owner then finally calls me back as I was going home and couldn't bother to apologize and tells me all her classes for January were cancelled and then proceeds to tell me her website is "broken" and how I should've known to call her even though her website says nothing about it. Then she proceeds to basically berate me for not calling her to ask about details of the class even though her website explains what the class is. She then says that how else would I know that I need to get all the supplies. What class doesn't give you the supplies to take the class especially when there is a decent fee for the class?? And this class is also listed on Groupon! It says nothing about calling ahead of booking! Now when I'm asking this Mira for my refund she's telling me I wasn't charged when I told her exactly how its listed on my card from when I was charged. Don't give business to this scammer!

I have an 8-week beginner class for kids, all supplies are included. I can teach up to 3 students at a time, that is all I have room for. Each class is 2 hours and $40. Kids learn how to use the sewing machine, we have Singer Confidence models, they make a pillow, apron, tote with 2 pockets, and a pair of elastic-waist pants. After the 8-week beginner class, the kids can make a dress and learn new sewing skills. For adults, they start with 4 classes and make a pair of elastic-waist pants, then move on to making a dress. Students can keep sewing as long as they are able, some have been coming here for 5 years. We have fashion shows, free learning events, and we are in the Memorial Day Parade. Learn to sew, it's an empowering life time skill. It's lots of fun, too. It has meditative qualities.
