I want to have a girls night here, a holiday party, take a class, use fancy grownup markers, and tell anyone who has a little one too-- just go and play, and allow yourself to feel good. Kids can go after school too. I can't say enough good things, there's even a Thai food place next door.

I've painted pottery at studios like this before, but I was blown away by the amount of choices, creative freedom, and room that this business offered. Their selection of pieces to paint is huge, the glaze selection is also impressive. I chose a mug and we were able to sit outside at a picnic table on the sidewalk and paint. The girls were nice enough to bring our stuff out and get us set up and we had so much fun. We literally sat and talked and painted for hours! We definitely got our money's worth! The best part was our pieces were done within the week. Super fast turnaround for such a busy studio and they turned out perfect!

Programs include twelve art exhibits annually plus two resident artist studios, a ceramics studio, and a classroom. Admission to the galleries is always free and The Arts Studio provides extensive outreach to the community plus a regular program of classes for children and adults. Exhibitions mix solo and group shows including local, regional, and national artists. I've been visiting the Center for many years. I've found the exhibits to be of mixed quality, but that's inevitable given the mission of the organization. Today's visit involved some sort of used clothing sale which was a little confusing and made it difficult to see the current art exhibit. The Art Center is a great community resource and a terrific asset to Longmont.

He was not experienced on 10 needle embroidery machines because he did not know how to calibrate the machine on different hoops. I called BabyLock and they referred me to another dealer who told me what happened. The machine has never been the same. She would only text not respond to calls like a 12 year old. She tried to get my husband to buy another $20,000 machine after they broke mine!!! I have never experienced such incompetence in my life. DO NOT buy a machine from her. I wish I could destroy something of hers that costs $20,000.! She's very unprofessional. I would not have put a 1 star on the review but they would not except less I'd say a negative 10 is sufficient!
