I only had two hours and asked the ladies at the front desk what they would go see if they only had two hours to view art. I took their suggestion and went to the modern art section. On the way I saw numerous paintings that have been infamously displayed in school books and other sights. It was very difficult to find the 3rd floor art (had to ask for directions several times). I would recommend that the Institut solace clearly marked arrows on the walls directly Art viewers. The employees throughout the facility were responsive to the hello but seemed exhausted or disappointed to be there.

This is a school/store that works with glass cutting, stained glass making, and kilning flat glass works. They sell all the glass and glass supplies. They even have books and newsletters where you can copy someone's design. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They took us around and showed us all the workshops, kilns, and supplies that they offer. We were stunned to see the colorful displays of the students' works shining in the windows. The staff is so friendly, and obviously passionate about their art! They're happy to help and answer any questions. It's a wonderful community resource! I can't wait to take a class here!

So much fun! Two girlfriends and I wanted to break out of our typical brunch hang out time. Instead…read moreof eating, I suggested we do a craft event. Yelp helped me find this place. We took the Introduction to Stained Glass class. It was a small class, about 7 or 8 to a class. Seating can be limited per class so I suggest you sign up sooner rather than later for your desired craft. They provided all the equipment for the workshop. The only thing is you pay extra (outside of the initial class cost) for the glass pieces. We had 2 selections and I think it was either $12 and $15 each. This is a great beginners class that will help you get comfortable using the hot equipment and give you some knowledge on the Tiffany foil method. Our instructor was the owner and she was very patient and encouraging. They have been running this family business since 2001. They are passionate and have a lot of classes and equipment to offer. I know during Christmas time you can create a glass blown ornament. They offer a lot of classes for stained glass, fused glass, mosaics, and glass painting. Great place if you want to relax, hang out, and create!

As far as I know, it is the only place in San Antonio , outside of the Universities and colleges , that consistently offers open drawing sessions in a professional studio, using live figure models. It even has open session for portraits on Friday mornings, using live models. Additionally it offers adult classes in oil painting, for beginners, intermediate, and more advanced painters. It has classes for children through its "Coppini Kids" program, and a "master class" in drawing for kids 11 - 17. As if this isn't enough, it offers workshops for members and the public, taught by popular and world-class artists who come in from across the country. If an artist is focused on representational art, the Coppini is a great place to investigate!

Paradoxically, once we have these technical skills, we can “let go” of trying to “do" art, and allow what is fresh and natural and authentic to emerge.

Going into her second year she never hesitates to go despite having to wake up early on a weekend. She is in art and theater where they are always brainstorming ideas for new projects and plays. The staff delves into topics that are relevant to their age group. Last year they tackled the subject of death. It was a sensitive topic but handled with much care and reverence by teachers. They keep parents informed about upcoming themes and events. Students are required to maintain good grades in school and must have good attendance. There is an application process and students are selected in order to attend. Some of their artwork goes on display in the galleries and is also for sale. This is a great way for students to learn about the business side of art. I'm proud to have my kid enrolled here. She has made friends from other parts of town, diverse backgrounds and lifestyles. They are an inclusive institution and make sure everyone feels accepted and welcome. If your child is creative I highly Recommend Say Sí.
