    Absolutely amazing experience! I called Keith on a Thursday asking for a pottery wheel lesson for my wife and I and he said he doesn't normally do lessons on Fridays, but would be happy to accommodate for us. We came in the afternoon and he and Courtney sat us down and gave us an in depth lesson on the wheel and helped us create 2 pieces each. They were both very patient and encouraging and made our first pottery making experience unforgettable. I highly highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for a fun experience doing something out of the ordinary!

    Making from scratch the bowl. He is very hands on and keeps it safe even in covid times.

    This is a great date opportunity. If you end up getting four pieces which is two each to make paint and take home. Our teacher and us all wore mask during the covid and there is even a nice little coffee shop right out side. Loved all of this.

    Absolutely an amazing experience. Fun to take your partner or a friend for a unique activity and make memories. Teacher was super nice and informative and friendly. We had the best time and i will definitely comeback for more lessons.

    We had a great time making mugs as an anniversary present for the "pottery anniversary." Both my husband and I found the whole process to be super relaxing and fun. Keith is a great instructor who makes sure you go home with a piece of pottery you actually like by gently stopping you from messing it up! I am absolutely IN LOVE with our little mugs and so grateful for the experience. We will cherish this little anniversary gift forever.

    Some people call what happens at The Firehouse "renegade art". I call it mind expanding, thought provoking, social inspiration. Forgive me if this sounds cliche, but this gallery has opened up new worlds for me. Where else in Fort Worth would a simple girl with no connections like myself get to met and converse with artists, poets, social activists, yogis, and even Kinky Friedman (I had a real conversation with Kinky, not just a handshake). Lori and her crew not only bring art and new thought to our community, they bring it alive. I am today and forever deeply grateful for the work that is done and displayed here. Viva Le Resistance in Cowtown!

    Here are the two bowls that I made with my very first pottery lesson! How fun! This is them wet; still need to glaze/fire them.

    I love this place! I bought a groupon for a pottery class, and it was totally fun! Keith is a great teacher, and I got to make two beautiful bowls. (I'm uploading a pic so that you can see them at stage one--pre-first firing. I haven't glazed them yet, but will add those photos when they are available.) It was really cool to make the bowls--this was the first time I've used a pottery wheel--and I'm looking forward to going back in a couple of weeks to glaze them. If you're looking to take a pottery class, try out Firehouse!

    The pots I made turned out awesome!

The building is too small and overcrowded. I've had classes with over 20 students and ones with only ten students. If you are thinking about enrolling your child in this school, go to trinity valley instead. While I am fortunate enough to have the option of changing schools, I am at the point in my education where I have built up so many friends that it would be a waste to start over. The funding for this school is a joke. Two years ago there was an electrical fire. The visual art department is severely underfunded and undersupplied. The choir students are the golden children, and are at the top of the pecking order. Every classroom on the top floor has stains in the ceiling tiles from leaks in the roof. The bathrooms are terrible. Take into account the fundraisers every year that make around 50k for the school, and you question where the money goes. The 25-26 school year was a rollercoaster for the staff. It began with the new art teacher getting fired for looking up girls skirts when they would grab supplies from the high shelves. Then the tech theater teacher was fired for ignoring the needs of neurodivergent students, as well as reports of him being creepy around the girls. Long term subs were found for both of them. However, two weeks before the end of school, when the teachers re-signed their contracts, several were told they wouldn't be able to come back next year due to budget issues. While complaining to one of my affected teachers, she alluded to the idea that the superintendent got a raise, despite these "budget issues". In my opinion this was scummy of admin, as the affected teachers wouldn't be able to claim all unemployment benefits as they weren't technically fired. The bullying among the elementary, middle school, and freshman students has gotten terrible. Nothing is done by teachers. There are no anti-bullying programs. The counselors are only there for dual credit classes and scheduling. High schoolers are under an insane amount of pressure. We are all heavily encouraged to enroll in dual credit courses, and even if you don't, your friends are in them, and you start to think you aren't smart enough compared to them. I personally know a girl who cries when her grades are under 95. One of the only positives about this school is the teachers. Almost all of the teachers are amazing and kind individuals. While a good chunk aren't that great at actually teaching, they are all so kind and supportive. If they weren't there, I probably would have come to school sobbing every morning. Many of the issues this year were not addressed by the new principal. Not to mention we had no vice principal the last half of the second semester. TLDR: this school is severely underfunded, teachers aren't paid enough to care, it will ruin your child's mental health. You have to buy uniforms then pay to dress out. While it's certainly better than some schools, just look for a better one. At this point in time, FWAFA isn't worth it.

We come back down to Hurst every summer just for him to be able to take classes for a week. All of the instructors are patient, kind and caring. They want every child to do their best and be proud of their work. I love to go in a few minutes early for pickup just to hear the instructors working and encouraging the kids. The instructors are always positive and upbeat. I have not met one student or a parent of a student to ever say a bad word about Art Castle and the teachers. Your children are in excellent hands and will come out with a great experience and love of Art.

    Everything is all fine and dandy unless you are melanated. You claim that a kid has behavior issues…read morebut then you do not mention that until the next day . Then you say well he doesn't really have a behavior issue when we get ready to pull him from camp. Then you state that well my child said his school teacher called us several times for behavior issues. So as an adult you believe a little kid instead of having a conversation with the parent(s) ? Who cares about your 20 years as a school teacher prior to this? All that does is allows you to group kids based on past experiences but you missed on this one. In your mind, you think we are " just some regular black parents". The truth is we are very educated and do accept false narratives. This child had won many awards for his school work , helpfulness, and citizenship. He has tested in the top 3% percentage in the country for math & reading in his age group. He plays the piano very well, plays the guitar, has a true love for art. Never once has there been a behavior issue and I have the references from the daycare, private schools, and gifted and talented schools that he has attended since 3 years of age. I am a realist and the one thing that I will not let happen, is for anyone to create a narrative that is untrue. If you were telling the truth, I could live with that. You have a problem within you. You have a "better than" complex. The other people that work for you know that you were not honest with what you said today. They may be afraid because of their jobs. It appears to me that there is no issue except for the fact that he is very intelligent and brown skinned. Well you now have your wish....a color free school.

Milan Gallery celebrates artwork in a much more casual and colorful way, and that's something I really love! Owned and operated by Fort Worth locals (who have contributed several beautiful pieces on display), Milan is a smorgasbord of local, national, and international works of every medium you can think of. Paintings, sculptures, glass work, jewelry, prints, photographs... Id say it's mostly paintings, but in every style imaginable. Abstract works, photo-realistic, impressionist, classical, and more. My favorites are probably the works by Thomas Arvid (I just love wine! I also heard there is an 11 year waiting list for an original creation), Gregory Beck (his sculptures are absolutely gorgeous and so graceful. I love the human figure and his works are extremely elegant), and Ford Smith (he paints the most vibrant and whimsical landscapes). The Dr. Suess works are amazing, of course! M Milan Gallery has shows all the time, so just keep an eye on their website or facebook for upcoming exhibition information. The best part of Milan is that on most Friday and Saturday nights, there's an incredible pianist playing and Tal (the owner) is pouring wine! The staff here is so knowledgeable about the artists and make you feel like family. Tal and Kelly have been especially helpful and welcoming, which makes all the difference in a gallery experience. This is a definite Sundance Square treasure, and I plan to spend many an hour exploring Milan Gallery.
