I had never tuft before so this was something new and exciting to try out! Every step of the way, Sav (the owner) was absolutely wonderful, so extremely helpful and accommodating. From the detailed emails regarding the correct location of the building (inside Hope Artiste Village) to recommendations of the best images to tuft to helping you sharpen your tufting lines, we couldn't have asked for a better instructor. She gave great instructions and came around to help out where she knew we were struggling a bit but always encouraged and made us feel like we were all rockstars. I can't say enough about how great of a class we had. She had her niece Leah (sp?) help out as well and she was such a sweet kid. The space is large, airy and welcoming. Feel free to bring something to eat/drink but light snacks and water are provided. We left with the cutest rugs that we made ourselves. Great to walk away with a masterpiece we personally put our hearts into. I'd love to come back in the future.

I had such a great experience at Visual Shift Art Studio! I was greeted with incomparable…read moreenthusiasm by both Alyssa and her partner, Manny (Designer 151). Their space is so well put-together and I felt extremely welcome upon entering. After looking around at all the outstanding artwork and items on display for sale and chatting about what we could do, Alyssa and I began our art project. She has so many different options to choose from, I took advantage of the hypertufa pot project. She did a great job explaining the process to me and showing me how to properly make the pots by making one alongside me. This was no ordinary class, I was delving into a new form of art that I had never tried before and it all seemed so easy with Alyssa's help and willingness to teach. I can't wait to go back to Visual Shift with my friends and see what other projects are in store for us. Alyssa told me about paint nights that she would be teaching in the upcoming future and that is definitely something I would try out and encourage others to attend. I look forward to seeing this business flourish and would definitely recommend to any person who is interested in an exciting art experience! Truly a hidden gem in RI.

Definitely a great value and would recommend!

I love that the class was limited to 4 people and we had two instructors. We felt completely safe at all times. Ian and Ben were funny and instructive, with very easy, straightforward directions. It was a perfect first exposure to glass blowing, and we'd love to return! We chose the ornament-making, as it's a simple, easier process for first-timers. They turned out gorgeous! The class was about an hour, and we felt the cost of the lesson and ornament were a good value! I highly recommended this experience at Gather Glass. *The glass item you make is outrageously hot, and needs to cool significantly. You pick up your piece the next day at the same place. *Check out the other Gather experiences on there !

I signed up for an Acrylic Pour class and I was terrified. After attending a few art shows at…read moreJennifer's gallery, I was inspired and took the plunge. However, the last art class I took was an obligatory high school graduation requirement in 1995. So why was I doing this? Why did I dive in for an acrylic pour class that deals with resin and pouring paints? I can't even dye Easter eggs properly. I arrived and Jennifer was there to welcome me. She was warm and friendly. I met the instructor, Jim Bradley (whom I purchased art from previously). It was a two part series class; two Saturdays from 12-2 pm. All materials were provided, even aprons if we needed them. Between Jennifer's and Jim's encouragement, I created pieces of art that I was proud to show others. Through their energy and love for art, they led me to a place that helped me transform my art intimidation into creativity. There were nine others in the class (it sold out very quickly). We all had so much fun. I have since signed up for a Gong Bath, a Paint Nite with Angel Card Reading and my 6 year old attending a Paint with Paper class. Jennifer's background of art and teaching is a gift and it shows through her ownership at HeARTspot. Her class prices are very reasonable and as you can see...they keep you coming back for more. A true advocate in supporting the arts for all!
