    We celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday here but there was a slight misunderstanding with her party booking. I spoke with the owner and she offered a solution that seemed fair to me. In the end, not only did she do what we had spoken about she went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. It was completely unexpected but very much appreciated! My daughter had an amazing time with her friends, we will definitely be back! Jen taught the class she was good with the kids.

    I love this place and the people who run it. I came in from nyc to celebrate March Birthdays

    Busy creating their masterpiece on date night

    Brought my parents here for their anniversary. The people were nice enough to let me sit with them. They purposely kept us on the end of the table so that we 3 could sit comfortably. It was "date night" so they each drew a half of a larger painting. Once we arrived, we found our name tags on the table. The open bar served wine, beer & some non alcoholic drinks. The entire place was filled with paintings which gave out a very cheerful vibe. The instructor explained every step in an easily comprehendable and fun manner. There were a couple breaks in between when the bar would be open. My parents, being it their first time, had a blast! I will definitely bring more people here. Great way to spend an evening with your loved ones! But be sure to choose which painting you'd like to create by checking on their website.

    I'm in love with PWAT! We visited this location during their grand opening. It is located in a shopping plaza, but the store itself is somewhat small. When you enter in, the painting space is right there. There doesn't seem to be room for more than one party at a time, unlike some of the other PWAT in the TriState area. The artist are extremely friendly, and know their stuff.

    Had a great time, a private party for my daughter birthday. The instructor was awesome. We recommend attending events

    We absolutely love this place! I've been here several times in the past year with my kids, Mom, husband and bestie and I've never been disappointed. My kids have attended the camp which is a great way to let their creative sides roar while they aren't in school. I love experiencing new things and creating memories with loved ones. Painting with a Twist, does just that :)

    I have taken about four classes here, with two different teachers. My artistic ability is about…read moreaverage. I love looking at mosaics. Therefore, I took two mosaics arts courses. The instructor provided a detailed handout how you do everything, and she was very patient with the class. Later, on my own, I ordered a marble mosaics art kit from Italy, using the skills that I learned from the two classes. Later on, I took two embroidery classes from a different teacher. The two classes had beginner students, and students had some skills. The teacher was very, very understanding with my limited skills. I particularly love to do embroidery. I found a new hobby! If I had time, I would take a class from each of these instructors again.

It was $70 for two hours. We literally did nothing for the first hour. We waited for two women to arrive 20 minutes late. We watched a slideshow about the artist's previous life running a daycare. Then we went around the room and took turns introducing ourselves. We were given a wreath and some sort of twine. There was no demonstration about how to connect the flowers to the wreath. We were given photos of different kinds of arrangements, but those flowers were not there. It was clear other people had taken classes before, and some were quite advanced. I had no idea and had never used a glue gun, as this was supposed to be open to all levels. The teacher would just say things like "attach the flowers in groups" but I didn't know how I was supposed to attach them? I was so frustrated and humiliated. I was going to throw my wreath out but another student took it home to use the materials. The teacher also mentioned another pressed flower class, and a student mentioned that she'd be taking it and was excited. The teacher mentioned they'd be doing advanced techniques bc wildflowers were so boring. The student said she'd never done this before, but the teacher completely blew her off and started talking about how exciting it would be to deconstruct a rose. I contacted the Arts Alliance about my concerns, and they just said that other people liked this teacher and that she was new, but they'd pass on my concerns. I asked for a refund, as $70 is quite a lot of money for me. There was no reply. I think the Arts Alliance is a fantastic place to support artists, I'd just avoid their classes.

    The University of Delaware, with its main campus in Newark, Delaware had its beginnings in 1743 and…read moreevolved into a public institution of higher learning; named Newark College (1765) and then Delaware College (1843). It was not until 1921 that it became University of Delaware. Honestly, I wouldn't care all that much, but for the fact that my son has decided to attend as a college freshman in September. Suddenly, it is very important to me. I've since learned that it is one of the oldest universities in the USA, and is ranked #127 of 1,647 colleges in America and #77 of 366 for engineering schools (my son plans to study aerospace engineering). True, it is also #35 /1,520 top party schools, and #36/672 top public universities. Ultimately, what he makes of it is up to him. I just hope the partying stat is not important to him (I'm dreaming). The most important part of its mission statement is: "...The University of Delaware promotes an environment in which all people are inspired to learn, and encourages intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, free inquiry and respect for the views and values of an increasingly diverse population." So, what is a Blue Hen, you ask. During the Revolutionary War, Congress commissioned the creation of a military battalion from the lower counties of Delaware. It was captained by John Caldwell, who among other things, was known for breeding fighting gamecocks. His chickens had bluish plumage and were ferocious. His regiment soon adopted the name "Blue Hen Chickens" to note their bravery in battle. The assignation stuck, and it became the mascot of the school in 1911 as the Fightin' Blue Hens in their honor. Brave chickens! Guess I'll have to get used to that oxymoron. Hope my son does their history proud.

    I wish I could give them a zero, but I cannot, unfortunately. For a school that claims diversity is…read moretheir number one priority, lemme tell you, they don't. Ever since I started at this school, every time they hear an accent, they give you the nastiest look. They treat me with disgust and make me feel like they don't want to give me attention or help me. They act like I don't belong here. Even their police department plays favorites. They want money, no matter how financially draining the decisions they make are going to be for you. I have never suffered from mental illness, but I can tell you that ever since I started at this school, I have been nothing but depressed, worried about how I am gonna get the money to register for classes. I wanna drop out, but I am already way too in, and they used to give some grants, but they removed that as well. They just want money. They don't care who has to die in order for them to get their money. Worst place ever!! Professors like to torment students! No matter what you do, you will find yourself drowning in debts. At this point, I don't even know if I will be able to complete my last year here. I am in that position where leaving is hard and staying is harder. I hope they burn in hell because that's where they belong.

However... since the people doing the supporting has changed, the kindness and vibe has changed completely. The people that run it are downright rude, snobbish and elitist, none of which supports the arts and its patrons! As of 2023, we visited JP Henry's art reception July 23 and that was a joy and wonderful. However the serious grump of a woman with the German accent behind the counter was unabashedly and shockingly downright rude, obnoxious and bullying to the patrons! I found out she SITS ON THE BOARD of this organisation! It was the first time I felt uncomfortable visiting an otherwise joyous occasion. Disgraceful to not only the showing artist but anyone in attendance! I witnessed board member of CCAC give a young man a hard time from the moment he entered the gallery saying "Oh no, you better not start trouble!" ?!?!? And when he, like other patrons went to get something to eat she YELLED at him telling him it something to the effect that it was a "snack" and he wasn't welcome there for dinner? Way to drive people AWAY in droves! Now I was pleasantly surprised when we visited main street for a holiday theme thing and we went into CCAC and they did have an amazing set up of a wide variety of artists selling for the holiday season at great prices, which is how I accidentally discovered them a couple years back and have been to events and receptions and they were all wonderful but honestly if this lady has anything to do with the org, I will think twice before coming. What a downer!

The learning is fun, interactive, and centered around the abilities of the students, and the hands-on methods of teaching allowed me to understand and apply concepts to real-life situations. I never had to ask myself "Why does this matter?" The teachers there were/are like parents to me, and I knew that I could always come to them with any struggles I might be having, emotionally or academically. The environment is safe and nonjudgemental; my NCCL family has truly shaped me as a person. Although I have had struggles with anxiety since an early age, the staff has always cared for and supported me in even my loftiest goals. When I was in eighth grade, I told my writing teacher, Kate, that I wanted to write a novel by the end of the year, and with her help and constant reinforcement, I completed it. Now, I am an English major with a Writing Concentration at Gettysburg College (minors in Literature and Studio Art). I had a 4.5 GPA throughout high school, and I now have a 4.2 GPA in college. I am a published author, journalist, and artist, as well as the editor for our on-campus literary and art magazine. None of this would have been possible without the support and aid of the teachers at NCCL, who encouraged me to think deeply, and pursue my interests doggedly. NCCL is the most accepting community that I have ever had the privilege of entering, and the staff works hard to accommodate students and families. They have plentiful compassion and experience when it comes to working with children with learning disabilities, and the environment of the school itself is welcoming and supportive to all. This school is a family, and I was so lucky to be a part of it. I will be forever grateful for my time at NCCL.
