HELLO, My name is…read moreDoyle, I am with www.doylepottery.com which is another art teaching place in mobile al I teach mainly ceramics and have plans to expand to multiple locations. I welcome any students in ceramic art. One of the teachers from coastal makers took my class and made one of the nicest beginner ceramics sculptures I've seen in many many years. Recently they began expanding to ceramics also using my kiln at times. I recommend if you enjoyed ceramics at coastal, to also visit Doyle Pottery for advanced ceramics classes. I recommend going to coastal makers, the staff there is very talented. They offer a very broad variety of art classes which is awesome for the growing demand in the area and for the whole art community. Thanks Coastal Makers for creating fun art activities to broaden understanding of what goes into all that art for sale in the galleries around the world, and all the cool ARTWORK! that gets produced by all the staff and students! A real art community! Thanks! WE NEED MORE! Sincerely, Doyle Hickman potter/artist/teacher/entrepreneur/dad/dog-friend 251-229-9023 1258 druid drive 36618 Mobile, Alabama https://doylepottery.com/ Doyle Pottery programs and offers: #ceramics classes #kiln share #ceramics tools and materials #art shop #art gallery #apprentice gallery #artist interviews! #literary arts #local music albums If you want to know about 65 different artists in mobile go to page: https://doylepottery.com/mobile-artists-interviews (contains adult language and humor) Community centers and local schools all desperately need Kari and many more people to help teach the community thirsting for something to do that's not digital. This demand is set to increase more and more as robots take over lots of jobs. Kari, in the next fifteen years, we have to somehow teach 20,000 people a month and even more once those have gotten involved, that what's missing today in schools and centers from a full research evaluation with robots. We should see Art some day perform like energy itself due to present robot/computer technology in development like a cell phone never having been made yet but now in process. Doyle is seeking any help out there that would especially like to work before and afterschool programs, and have availability those times. There is vast expansion possibility due to extreme school demand for ceramics, mostly from its costly infrastructure. What's the greatest part for teachers in town is there's many many positions possible today including their assistants! And a market for teaching unmet demand value at... 45 million a year Kari. If you loved Kari's class and made great stuff, call Doyle to help him tackle the huge current demand at schools primarily, if you are available and enjoy the Arts and creating. What you get from Art activity at Coastal is not just Art and fun, you get an education and learn to develop your brain with, "creativity" the best part of any brain which, happily, no robot can take away. Thank you all for enjoying and taking interest in the ARTS! Happy Art making! Doyle

They have walk in art classes or a girls/men group night classes. Holly and Michelle are simply the best-helpful in every way and will be there to walk you through the whole process. Ask a lot of questions. They also allow you to bring in your own wood or driftwood pieces to design. Make sure you have 2-3 hours to spare. Pieces are left overnight to dry and for some for the ladies to add their finishing touch. Great for visiting or vacationers too but again- make sure you add an extra day in your schedule to pick up your pieces.

They do have a small selection of faux and real sea glass, but the real treasure is the local artist items. The lady who owns the store was very pleasant. She helped us with items and gave us some background on her space. For the quality and selection, I was happily surprised with her prices. If you're looking for wall art, shells, jewelry, children's' items, small furniture, fun trinkets or even table lamps, you'll find it all here. They are definitely worth the drive from Pensacola Beach.

I originally became aware of these folks on Facebook and have since attended one of their classes…read more I signed up online and got everything communicated to me nicely via messenger. At Southern Grace Creations they offer art classes dealing with glass and resin, door hangers, canvases, and more. Classes for adults and children, beginner to advanced, and they supply everything you will need to make your art piece: (canvas, window or picture frame, paint, glass, shells, sand, glitter, resin, etc.) Some people choose to bring trinkets like a special sea shell, sand dollars, starfish, small beach wood, necklace, broach, etc. (you can also bring other materials, including canvas and art supplies if you desire) I showed up and was welcomed by Bobbie, the instructor, and since this was my very first time working with resin she was very patient, explained everything about the process, and guided me along nicely. You can choose from either doing your project on canvas or on a framed glass, I chose canvas. (other options available) You pick the size of canvas or size and style of frame and you're ready to go. There's a big variety of crushed glass, shells, and all sorts of materials to put on your project and you can paint it first or work with a blank slate. (stencils are also available if you need them) I chose to draw and paint a basic sky, water, and beach background then cover it in different colors of glass with some shells. After your project is complete Bonnie instructs you how to properly cover it in resin, it's pretty cool. Since it takes 3+ days to cure or set you will need to come back to pick it up, and that's it. Aprons and plenty of space is provided. Bottom line: It's especially easy with Bobbie's patient direction and you can make something that's just fun or make a family heirloom.

TALK ABOUT ANXIETY !!…read more Highly DO NOT recommend having a kids (ages 6-8) birthday party here. The host was very rude and bossy towards all of the kids. It's a retail store with the paint party inside the same building. So of course, all the kids want to look around and touch all the items on display in the retail store before the paint party because it's the first thing you see when you walk in. Anytime the kids touched anything you could not only see and feel her frustration, but she would tell them to put the stuff down and stay in their seats. The helpers tried to make the kids time enjoyable as much as they could and a lot of thanks to them! Do not think you should advertise or welcome birthday parties into your business if you can't handle the kids. This lady COULD. NOT. Have you ever been to a birthday party where the children couldn't really get out of their seats or touch anything? Yeah, this was my first time too. Craziness. The kids did however enjoy the actual painting of their canvas but that was because only the helpers were around and did an excellent job with the kids. We will NOT be back!
