Claire is a great teacher, very patient with the students and made everyone comfortable no matter their artistic ability (or lack thereof in my case). The park class setup was cute and felt very cozy with the cushions and tables. Everything was all set up nicely. I will book many more events, I'm already looking for another day on the calendar!

Painting in Kaneohe, Hawaii…read more.. Paint nights have been happening for years and this is the first time that I got a chance to experience one. Thanks to Jessica and Jules for planning this group activity and organizing us! Before Jessica moves to the mainland, there were a few things that she wanted to do together and one of them was painting. She selected this picture of a waterfall with a flowering tree and butterflies because the other pictures looked "touristy"... haha! The venue (The Beach House) was a local bar in my neighborhood. It was convenient for me since I live and work in Kaneohe. I knew where it was (next to Windward Mall) and that there was free parking...and a restroom with curtains instead of walls to designate separate stalls! Tip: Just lock the door for privacy! Don't let anyone else in with you, ladies! Our instructor, Kate, was awesome! She was so bubbly, informative, and reassuring. I have never painted before and I have always wanted to try. I was afraid of the outcome...lol! This was a super great experience! All of the supplies were provided. Kate and her assistant, Lei, set up and cleaned up for us! We had a blast - and a finished product to remind us of a happy memory. Gosh, Jessica... I'm starting to really miss you already... waaahhh! (Crying a waterfall now...) =( P.S. Thanks to Jules for her patience in walking me through the online registration. I couldn't have done it without you! P.P.S. We were given a stamp card - wow - a Loyalty Program... shall we go again?

Our home is now quickly filling with a large assortment of mugs, berry bowls, sake cups, rice bowls, trinket dishes, incense holders and the list goes on. On a positive note, we now have no shortage of Christmas and birthday presents. As mentioned, Mudd Studio offers wheel throwing and hand building workshops of various lengths (1 day, 3 day, etc.) They also offer studio membership. As a member, you have 24 hour access to the studio as well as use of the equipment, supplies, glazes, etc. My wife has never mentioned a negative thing about the place or people there - only that it is a positive, supportive and inspiring community. Its location in Chinatown (Smith Street) makes it a great addition to the local art scene. Support local businesses!

My husband surprised me with a 3-day wheel class for my birthday, and I can't recommend Mudd Studio…read moreenough! Our instructor, Paola, was fantastic--she explained each step clearly and gave us plenty of space to experiment and practice at our own pace. She struck the perfect balance between guidance and freedom, and I always felt supported. Between the two of us, we made four pieces: two cute little ice cream bowls, a pretty little green cup, and a small planter that I'm absolutely in love with. The class was fun, relaxed, and such a great way to connect--not only with each other, but also with the other classmates in our small group. I can't wait to go back and keep learning (and creating)!

I remember when Fishschool first started offering classes. There was one classroom, 5 buckets of…read moreglazes, one kiln room, and no sink, wheels, tools, and erratic air conditioning system. In spite of that, clay classes were great - some of the taught by the late, great Esther Nowell. Nowadays, it is as good as a large well organized ceramic school with wedging tables, slab roller, wheels, double sinks, and even more classes of varying subjects. The only drawback to this place is the parking situation - on the street - and sparse at that. It is an exciting clay studio with membership options. Fishcake houses the Fishschool and we go through the always dynamic and changing art displays on our way to class. Excellent food vendors take turns in the front with very delicious food during lunch. I am so proud at how far this little school has grown into a great option for people who want to learn and continue ceramics. I still take classes from them - the latest being Shisas with Dane Nakama. I built a huge one with hair and curly ques, fierce eyes and eyebrows. Love it!!!

Kids get bored and if they can come to focus on the art instead of being occupied by the electronics at home, it's all worth it. My 5 and 8 year olds can sit for hours painting.
