My daughter has been taking piano lessons for about 5 years now and continues to love it! The teachers are patient and kind and very well trained in handling all ages of students (even adult students). They don't just do piano.... they have violin, voice, and art classes. Take a look and you will find something for everyone. We are here today doing a practice performance so my daughter can get some extra guidance before here big performance. All the staff work off hours because they are dedicated to teaching and love what they do.

Thoroughly enjoyed being a drawing student but was too shy to try oil painting (the one art medium I'd never attempted). With kind patience, Dori introduced me to the wonder of oil painting.

I've been here a handful of times now and it's so fun! As a not so good at arts person, it was easy…read moreto create some cute pieces here! My friend reserved a table for a group of us, which gives you a time slot to work on your craft. When you are done, they fire it for you, then contact you when it is ready to be picked up. They have such a wide variety of pottery pieces to choose from as well as many paint options and tools. Each paint option was labeled with a number and had a tile showing how the color would end up looking after the firing process, because the wet paint itself is a lighter/different color. Every employee I encountered was a delight, and so helpful. They walked you through the process and helped me with any paint questions I had. I also discovered they have stencils and things like that! There's a big parking lot in the back, or a few spots out front, easy for pick ups. Great experience for any type of outing, and it is family friendly. It's not the biggest space, so I do recommend booking a table. All of the pieces are labeled with a price that comes off in the kiln, and there's a wide range of price ranges for any budget. Some really cute items to choose from. Will be coming back :)

I attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham for my Masters degree in the early 2010s. I have nothing but good things to say about the education I received, the interactions with faculty members (which later led to me securing a full time position post graduation), as well as all of the co-curricular opportunities I was involved with/had offered to me. Yes, parking could be improved on any urban college campus, so I don't think that's necessarily a deal breaker. Thank you for my education and the opportunities that were afforded to me post graduation!
