Robin's Gallery is a great place to go for your framing and gift needs. Even if the gift is for…read moreyourself! I've been a patron for a couple of years now. Not only do I go for my framing, I also go to a monthly painting class called Create It. Each month, the resident artist comes up with some fun painting and I sign up to go and paint along. Bring a friend or two, the beverage of your choice and your imagination and have a great evening out for mere $30. The classes are always an absolute blast and it is quite entertaining to see how so many people interpret the painting differently and make it their own. Aside from Create It, framing, paintings and prints, Robin's also has a wonderful assortment of jewelry and gifts. Since I am easily distracted by shiny things, this delights me to no end. Plus, buying from local artists and artisans is a great way to support community and I am all about that! Speaking of supporting all things local, David and Jessica, the owners of Robin's Gallery, are really into that as well. They are very active in both Hip Donelson and Hip Hermitage. They are local business owners who support their local communities not just by word, but with action and actively participating in events within their neighborhood. You really need to swing by and check out all this place has to offer. You won't be disappointed.

UPDATE #2 now her friends are attacking me on social media, and giving my business a negative…read morereview having never come into contact with it. Childish UPDATE: Soon after posting reviews, a refund was provided. Along with a message on Facebook full of attitude blaming ME for not calling during business hours. Which I did, and even waited 15 minutes after opening time. And I left a message. She also ranted about how she hasn't had issues with other people rescheduling. So, you know, it's all my fault even though I emailed her broken website (contact us function didn't work), messaged more than 3 separate times on Facebook AND called, leaving a message. It's really unfortunate, so many others seem to love this place. We would have loved that experience too. Our homeschool group scheduled classes, and we all prepaid. Totally fine. My kids were sick, and I will not expose others on purpose. I was told we could reschedule; my kids were really looking forward to that. Since then, I've done the "contact us" on her website which doesn't seem to be functioning. I've messaged her MULTIPLE times on Facebook, she responded the first time and hasn't since, but it shows the messages are read. I've left a voicemail asking again for the reschedule or a refund of the $45. She still has my money, and we didn't get the class nor the ornaments that came with it. My kids are disappointed, and I just want my money back.

It has small offices and studios for rent, and a large co-working space (think Starbucks without the expensive coffee).

Tours are free, shop memberships are available at www.forthouston.org

This is by far one of the most exciting places I've reviewed. As someone who LOVES making art,…read morewalking into this space is like a kid in a candy-shop. Branded as a "makerspace", memberships start at $150/mo and cap at $500/mo. Open 24 hours a day (to members only), this is the perfect resource for artists looking to get their business of the ground without the commitment of purchasing studio-space. The shops include screen-printing, metal work, and wood. You can use your reserved space for pretty much any type of art if you don't want your livingroom overflowing with tools and clutter. You are responsible for providing all material supplies, the equipment is the responsibility of the establishment. While some might have a hard time justifying the cost of a membership, I personally don't have the funds to purchase the equipment they allow members to use for free. For me, this is the key selling point. There is a gallery on site and a cafe which features some of the artists work on its walls. During off-hours the space can be used an event space. Scheduling and availability is all done online. All in all, it's a very straight forward agreement, and a fun space to collaborate with other artists.

I've taken the ceramics classes here with a focus on wheel throwing and I love it! Becca is an awesome instructor and allows the class to be free to create, but also helps to steer you in the right direction. I'll be taking the summer class here in May. I've been throwing on the wheel off and on for about 15 years now and the intermediate class offered here is perfect for shaking off the cobwebs. They do offer beginner ceramic classes if you're looking to just dip your toe into the ceramic slip. The classes are about $100 for 8- 12 weeks and the cost includes your clay. For comparison other ceramic classes can start $300! I know I'm about to blow up my own cozy quiet nook of Nashville, but if that means the community discovers and supports this arts center... I'm here for it!
