What a neat idea for making abstract art! We tried the paint fluid art and Marian taught the…read moredifferent types of fluid paint pouring techniques before we got into the action of pouring. She was super helpful and patient with us while we tried to pick what technique we wanted. They also offer all sorts of art and crafts you want to try. Great ace to make your own art and gift them to friends and family or for yourself! We used a Groupon for the base canvas that came with the 10"x20" size. Resin was $25 extra, which I think would be worth it!

I'm going through a "let's try all the new things!" phase this year and one of the things I did was…read moresign up for a pottery class at Cream City Clay. It was intimidating walking in and seeing all the gorgeous works but everyone there was incredibly welcoming and that extended into the Hand Building I class that I took. The instructor, Lila, was engaging, exciting, and incredibly knowledgeable (and she brought in fresh bread one week!). The class was a touch more free-range and self-directed than I expected but in the end I think that was really for the best - it pushed me to dive into my own creativity (what little there is) and in the end I will be walking away with a handful of fun pieces. I absolutely intend to come back for more classes and potentially signing up for a membership. Highly, highly recommend stopping by - check out the wares, support local, and maybe even sign up for your own class!

It's a very bright and inviting space.We signed up for a Friday night throwing class.Suffice it to say,neither of us is what I would say is artistic,that didn't stop us from having a fun date night across from each other,trying to produce something remotely resembling a pot/bowl.Unfortunately we fell a little short,lol.We still had a fun time nonetheless and so if you're looking for something new and fun,this might be up your alley.

This was our first venture into Soul Fire, and I took my 7yo granddaughter who is a wanna-be…read moreartist. We chose the Glass Fusing for a new experience and it was a hit! We made an appointment ahead of time and as soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by a lovely woman who spent good time explaining to us just how to safely work with glass, and not get cut or hurt in any way. The instructions are very in depth but necessary. When is was time to start the creative process, my granddaughter knew just what she wanted to create and loved selecting all the parts to make it just as she wanted. Start to finish was about 190 minutes, but it could be faster or slower, depending on how your creative juices flow. In the end she was thrilled with her project and we sprayed it to keep it in position for the transfer to the kilns. In 7-10 days I will return and pick up the final project. Our final cost for a 6" square art piece came to $40. We can't wait! The cost is not super cheap, but you know exactly what you are paying before you start. The supplies are endless and we plan to return for other activities as soon as possible. We saw entire families enjoying themselves, and this is a great activity to do with all ages, young children to adults. The options for art projects are: Paint Your Own Pottery, Glass Fusing, Acrylic Paint Projects and Board Art. The Clay Hand Building is now offered only in a class session. Stop in and take look. Then make an appointment for some really nice fun.

Made ourselves a date night for some Christmas memories. I wanted to do some glass work. We…read morewere greeted at the door by Morgan. She was so helpful through the whole process. We decided on Christmas tree ornaments. Morgan got all our working tools and was very thorough in explaining how to cut the glass and told us if we needed any further help she would be happy to help. We then were able to create at our own will and speed. It was a Friday night at the end of the day and we were told to take our time and not feel rushed. You can order drinks to enjoy. The atmosphere was so comfortable and warm. You could paint or do pottery. So many things. I think we just started our new tradition to make a new ornament yearly. We had booked some open creating time. But you can register for any of the classes they offer as well. We will definitely be back. Everyone was helpful and kind. Can't say enough good things about the whole process from start to finish. Took about 7 days to have the project fired and ready for us to pick up. Our ornaments are beautiful on our tree.

We have saved literally thousands of dollars by using the techniques around our home with high end results. They are always very friendly and helpful whenever we have questions. My only complaint would be that they have very limited hours.

The owner, Mary, is a hoot. She bought the place from a washer/dryer and refrigerator shop (which explains the Maytag sign on the building). Some of the left over equipment (stove, etc) is used for storage now. She still takes service calls for the Maytag people! There is a lot of decor-type items for sale. Good place to go for a mother's day gift if your mom is interested in decor or gardening. The goblet painting class was fun. It was just my mom and me and another woman. We painted wine glasses. Mary provided complete start up instruction on the paints and lots of tips, but let our creatively rule the design. It was fun. I would suggest this place for a party (wedding shower? adult birthday party?). Mary also has other painting classes, and ring crafts, and mosaic mirror classes.

It's a home based daycare for 2 to 5 year olds so you have all the comforts of home (with a small group of other kids) plus a preschool curriculum. Theresa posts photos and videos on the parent log-in page on her website so we can see what our son has been up to at daycare. We love the art he brings home, that he talks about the other children, and that he's learning so much -- daily life skills, social skills, and early academics. I strongly recommend Little Sprouts. Really glad we chose it for our son.
