I started recently taking classical guitar lessons with Ron and can't say enough good things. The lessons are relaxed, the instruction is targeted and helpful. I leave each lesson excited to practice the next step in this journey. If you are looking to start learning an instrument, no matter how old you might be, seriously consider these guys. They are really top notch.

This is probably one of my favorite kid 'education'/'training' places in the area…read more Few things, 1. Kid has great fun. 2. Kids love the teacher(s)/owner(also main teacher). owner is responsible and does care about the students. 3. Kid is able to focus on the project 4. Kid is able to perform and finish good work from very first project. 5. Kid is proud for her/himself, parents too. I am not really an art person, so I am not able to judge how exactly the technique kid obtains or how much they improve precisely, but I feel it worth it. Not sure if they can manage everything perfectly when it scales up with more teachers, so far so good.

I came here last night for a private birthday event where I throughly enjoyed my experience. Unfortunately, I forgot our instructors name but he did great. Especially, for a party of 9. He was patient and extremely helpful in his coaching. All together we made about 5 pieces of clay and at the end of the event we got to pick our favorite piece we made. You put you name, phone number, and email on the piece and I guess in a week or so after it is painted and glazed it will be available for pickup. If you're interested in pottery I would highly recommend them. They have 4-8 week classes available and for what I saw the classes are fairly affordable! I would definitely be interested in coming back! I can't wait to get my bowl back too! Thanks for the awesome experience Nuna!

It was just a loose idea, and I need someone to help with executing it and didn't know where to start. When I looked up a few artists in the area, I found Dottie's website and loved the work I saw. I reached out to her, and felt so confident she was the right person just by taking to her. She is so pleasant and communicates well. She offered to help me with learning to paint/painting this gift myself, but because I wouldn't be in town, she happily painted what I needed on my canvas and had it ready before the deadline. The painting turned out INCREDIBLE! I am blown away by her talent, and her ability to put what I imagined onto a canvas. I can't tell you how much I trust this woman to execute a painting, and be honest about how it will turn out. Thank you so much, Dottie!
