I went to their Grand Opening of their new building and the space, and it's fantastic! Ample space for several different glass art technique classes. The teachers I met are absolutely wonderful, too! Willing to help/guide if necessary, creative minds, and just plain genuine and personable. I got the chance to make a glass mosaic (think glass art to hand in a window) and a simple smoking pipe (torch melting glass and all!), and it was phenomenal! I'm seriously looking into taking a few classes; and, besides, I know my money is going to an excellent org that's promoting art, culture, and creative partnerships throughout central Ohio!

There are date night classes for two and a one time sampler class. Plus, if you've already been to a class there's the option to book an open studio. Which is a spot to come and create. You can also rent out the studio for small groups. I booked my wife a one off Sunday class. Unfortunately, something came up and she was unable to attend so I went in her space. I am glad that I went it was a delightful way to spend a Sunday! The try-it class fee includes one fired & glazed finished piece. (There is the option to purchase other creations as well.) The instructor for the one off Sunday class was great. They explained and showed the process we would take before giving us space to create at our own stations. The showing was great for me as I am the type of person who learns by doing so being able to see the wheel in action, see the movements that change the shape of the clay, and the tools that were going to be used set me up for success when it comes to (attempting) to create on the wheel. Each station had a wheel, many sections of pre-cut ready to be thrown clay, water, tools that could be used, and a posted reminder of the process of creation. (I appreciated this as it gave me something to refer to as I was attempting to create a masterpiece!) During the class time the instructor was walking about offering help, and sharing tips to aid in the creation of our pieces. After creation, you help clean up your station, and choose the glaze color for your creation. Glaze options were blue, green, and red. At the time of this class the turn around time from creation to glazed, fired, and ready to be picked up was four weeks from the class date. ------ Previous to this class I hadn't used a wheel in well over 25 years. (And that was only once or twice in art classes in elementary and middle! So nothing that would give me considerable skills.) I am planning on booking one of the couple classes so that the wife and I can create together. All in all, I highly recommend checking out the offerings at Bareclay and booking a class if you are able! Nice space to try out something new or to get back into something you enjoyed in a comfortable and friendly environment.
