Kids love the teacher(s)/owner(also main teacher). owner is responsible and does care about the students. 3. Kid is able to focus on the project 4. Kid is able to perform and finish good work from very first project. 5. Kid is proud for her/himself, parents too. I am not really an art person, so I am not able to judge how exactly the technique kid obtains or how much they improve precisely, but I feel it worth it. Not sure if they can manage everything perfectly when it scales up with more teachers, so far so good.

There is so much photography and editing capabilities on our smartphones that the average user has no idea what's available.

You can join as a member to get discounts on their activities and classes or pay non-member fees but there's so much to do and see, you will surely want to come back. My only wish for the class which would have increased 1 star would be handouts of the material presented.

And by the way, if you ever walk around the property, you will find such a neat art that were made by the artists. I always enjoy walking around outside of the buildings and inside too. You will find inspiration and such unique Art everywhere. Such a neat place! Thank you so much.

I had an unusual experience during open lab on Saturday morning. The space was quite crowded, and I…read moreapproached a table to ask if I could join. A woman seated there indicated that it would not be a problem. However, when I stepped away briefly to retrieve a tool, I was approached by a lab aide and instructed to move, as the table was apparently reserved for RAs. There was no visible signage or indication that the table was designated for that purpose. Additionally, to my understanding, RAs have access to a separate workspace, but they'll use of shared student space--especially during a busy open lab-- is somewhat confusing. Then another RA was complaining how students should know better, which is odd since the other RA said I could sit with her. Overall, the situation felt unclear, unwelcoming and rude.

If you've ever wanted to learn pottery, this is the place for you! I took an 8-week class this…read morefall, and learned so much along the way. I'm leaving with a newfound respect for pottery, and so absolutely impressed with the management of this studio. Since ClaySpace is a nonprofit, you aren't nickel and dimed for every service, and the people here truly love their craft. Even in simple things like the management of kiln firings, there is such care taken in each step in the process and everyone here, students, instructors and resident artists alike, are just so friendly and helpful as you learn pottery. Fees for courses and supplies are super reasonable, and I am so glad to have found ClaySpace to continue my exploration of pottery.

This is a local business that offers classes in resin and glass. There are so many different kinds…read moreof classes - in addition to the usual fused glass, slumped flower / coral bowls, stained glass, etc. they also do flamework and of course resin classes which I haven't seen elsewhere. Watch for seasonal classes (heart paperweight! turkey ornament!). Unlike the other suburban glass studio I've taken classes at, they also have a gift shop, so you can buy something instead of having to take a class if that's your jam. You could also actually buy the piece used to advertise a class. Pieces are affordable and there's a wide variety (cute little succulent gardens, stained glass, glass ornaments, resin keychains, etc.). Class prices are similar or a little less than what I've seen elsewhere, and if you become a member they're cheaper. Yes, they do open studio. I took a resin class, which was easy and fun; the teacher was patient and helpful. Class sizes are small (I actually got a solo class as a group canceled at the last minute). The owner was there, who was happy to show me cool projects related to the class I took, as well as to offer information about other classes they do. Signage is pretty good; you have to drive down a driveway to get to the businesses on the ground floor - look for the sign. Lots of parking.
