The team is pretty responsive if you run into any issues with the class scheduling and pretty understanding. I qualified for financial aid and it got approved in less than 48 hours. I'd definitely wound love to check out their other classes sometime.

I took the intensive drawing bootcamp with Brett Xavier Gamache and really enjoyed it. Brett is a…read morepatient and generous instructor. He provided just the right amount of advice and instruction regardless of each person's level of experience. I have some drawing experience but it's been many decades since I took a formal class. Many of the techniques that Brett shared were familiar to me but good reminders. Most helpful was having Brett review my work at different points during the process, and offer advice on how to proceed. Thank you, Brett, for an enjoyable reintroduction to drawing. I look forward to taking another class. The CCAE could do better in communicating what to expect and in keeping the listing up to date. The description says it's 6 hours but it's listed as running from 10am-2:30pm. The supply list was incorrect so I purchased much more than I needed and didn't have items that I did need. They should also note that you only have about 30 minutes for lunch and Cambridge eateries can be very crowded on a Sunday. I would have brought a lunch.

I wish I could say otherwise because I'd really like to support this place & the local artists represented. While shopping, another guest asked the cashier about if any weaving classes were available in the near future but the only response was a grunted "no." Seems like a friendlier response was warranted so I stopped the shopper on her way out to tell her & her daughter about "A Place to Weave" in Fitchburg, MA. My point is, isn't the Worcester Center for Crafts mission to support the craft community? It isn't hard to do and a friendly word goes a long way.

I discovered this place last year and am so glad I did. This isn't crappity ass crafts. It is a…read moreplace to learn artistic crafts. I took glassblowing and flame work. Glassblowing was very interesting but too hard for me. I'm really glad I took it for the experience and I would probably do it over again just to try it out. It requires a lot of coordination, so if you are as klutzy as me, you might find it too difficult too. As described in their catalog, flamework is: Tthe process of shaping glass rods and tubes into small objects over the flame of a torch. Begin by making beads, pendants and marbles to establish a foundation of technique. As the class progresses, projects will advance to include the creation of solid sculpture and hollow forms such as flowers, holiday ornaments, and perfume bottles. Small class sizes and one-on-one instruction allow students to work at their own pace. I love this class and the instructor, Jake Vincent, is patient and a great teacher. You don't have to be quite as coordinated to do flamework. In addition to glass classes, they have classes in clay, metal, fiber, photography, wood, and design and multimedia. They have a gallery too. I haven't been yet, because the glass studio is in a separate area of Worcester. I've heard its great and intend to go soon. I'll update this post when I get there. Oh, and it isn't as far from Boston as you think. Check out their catalog on their Website.

I made an appointment with their professional masseuse and it wasn't the best. I called a few times…read moreto make sure that they had professionals, and I was assured that this masseuse has done this for quite some time but I didn't feel that. I explained to her twice the places that were very tense and it didn't help much. She seemed a little rushed and moved along rather quickly even though I asked her to mostly work on my shoulders. I couldn't quite relax, etc.... I don't know if I would return for another massage, BUT you can all give it a shot. TY!

The center offers package coupon books and decent hours of operation. You do not get to pick a regular person as this is student based and you do fill out a survey at the end but both are reasonable trades for the cost and comfort after. I felt much better after my visit and will go again.

I was scheduled to take a certification exam at RIRAL Testing Center in Woonsocket, RI on Saturday,…read moreSeptember 14, 2024 at 9:00 AM. On my Meazure Learning Scheduling Confirmation Notice (Admission Ticket), the reporting time was 08:45 AM. I arrived in the parking lot about 8:35 AM. There were plenty of parking spots. Around 8:40 AM, I headed into the building and took the elevator up to the 4th Floor. I followed the signs to RIRAL Testing Center. The proctor was helping someone at the moment so she told me to go to the waiting room. The waiting room was 2 doors down. Once the proctor was ready for the next check-in, she went to the waiting room to grab the next person. I submitted my confirmation notice to the proctor. She checked my current, government-issued photo identification (ID) with signature (driver's license), verified the exam I was taking, verified I was not permitted to have any reference items, let me choose a locker to put my car keys in, asked me to roll up my jeans to show my ankle and asked to see my ears, and then walked me to the exam room. She inputted some information in the computer and then I was off to take the exam. The proctor informed me that the room is being recorded, raise my hand if I have any questions, and wished me luck. During the exam, she would walk in and see how we were doing. After submitting my exam, I got up and the proctor returned to shut down the computer. I checked out and grabbed my car keys from the locker. There were about 7 other people taking their exam with me, but each cubicle is spacious. Taking the electronic exam at RIRAL Testing Center was seamless from parking, checking-in, and checking-out with the proctor. The desktop and keyboard were good. I didn't use the restroom, but the restroom was by the elevators and a key needs to be used.
