Creativity is my middle name therefore I was excited about attended their Crafting Community African Pottery workshop with Yinka. Yinka was very friendly and passionate about pottery. I loved the goal of the workshop which was to participate in building "community pots" which different women over the course of 12 weeks contributed to crafting. After the pots are done. Yinka will donate them to the African American Muesem as an exhibit which promotes Sisterhood and bonding. The display will have the names of each women who contributed their unique energy to a pot. After the workshop was over I felt very humble and knowledgeable about the strength of my ancestors. In Africa the pots are the women's livelihood and they use them to fetch water due to the lack of resources. Some women even carry their baby on their back while building the pot. Overall I'm glad to have learned a new skill of pottery and to also be apart of a good cause.

They offer a variety of classes including glassblowing, printmaking, etc. The NMT and Panda enrolled together. They are enjoying their class - run like a workshop - very much.

As for me, I walk around enjoying all the beautiful art and relax on the mezzanine. The building is always clean and well lit. Great program in a beautiful space.

I visit museums without pre-conceived notions, reading reviews generally after the fact. PAFA --…read moreas it's known -- is a good one. Founded in 1805 the academy is the first school and museum of fine arts in the United States. The historic landmark building is closed for renovations with three stories of exhibits now housed in their Hamilton Building (which is NOT named for Alexander!) Several things impacted me: the galleries are wide open, light and airy. A pleasure to walk through. A number of items from the Atwater Kent collection -- formerly the Philadelphia History Museum -- are on display. The diverse collection ranges from baseball, department stores (Wanamakers, anyone?), civil rights ... the list goes on. There is student and alumni art for sale and casts of Greek and Roman antiquity located in an active student workspace. As with most museums, exhibits change. The gift store with its friendly proprietor, is as good as any I've been to. A beautifully curated collection, and after Thanksgiving, I believe everything is discounted 30% for the holidays.

Meghan (the owner) is an artist who has been trained by the artist that owns The Art Academy in Hillsborough Township. Meghan's academy is actually a little over a year old and I couldn't find her yet on yelp, so I am putting my review here and hope that's ok. I am an oil painter, and came to The Art Academy in Chester through a referral to Chester school. I have a strong set of skills in oil painting, and have begun to sell my work. I came to Meghan because I wanted to strengthen my foundational skills in the realistic painting style. Meghan is absolutely the strongest and best teacher I have ever had. She has classes for children, adolescents and adults, at all levels. She is so talented in teaching the fundamentals of painting and it has most definitely strengthened my skills, just as I had wanted. She is a master at working with children and adolescents meeting the individual student at their current level, providing a strong education and support in a manner where I've seen children and adolescents blossom into really excellent oil painters. She focuses on teaching values, and color, which are two very important keystones in being able to paint well. She is an absolute gem. As an adult painter, I find her lessons to be critically important and I have seen a great change for the better in my work. If you are looking for an art school that is both wonderfully supportive and highly educational, this is THE place.

It was like stepping back in time to a 19th century French atelier. Hans Schuler had Howard Sill build him a private sculpture studio in 1906. Schuler was a prominent, early 20th century sculptor, who created many sculptures in Baltimore, and served as president of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) for more than 25 years. The school, which opened in 1959, has been training students in the methods and techniques of the Old Masters and is still going strong. We were able to see the two story sculpture studio with its natural light pouring in thru the northern skylight. We were given a delightful tour by Jim and spent time talking with Fritz and Francesca, descendants of Hans and Ann Schuler.

COMPLETELY CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE!…read more Chad is an amazing instructor with loads of experience based guidance and "hacks" for those who want to do it RIGHT.

Chad will dial you in on how to maximize all the aforementioned. The guy's a GENIUS!

It's hard to say too many good things about this class and about this instructor…read more Chad is a master gunsmith, and his specialty is the AR-15. His knowledge of that system is encyclopedic. But who knew he is also an excellent teacher? Lots of people know stuff; few people can be described as both an extraordinary expert and also an outstanding teacher. Chad is one of those select few. One of the amazing things about him and about his class is how he is able to reach both novice students who are new to guns in general and the AR-15 specifically, and yet somehow in the same class is able to go into great depth and detail for those owners who are already very experienced with the rifle. Chad not only covers the "what"; he also hits the "why". You'll leave this class not just knowing the specifics of the AR-15, but how and why everything fits together into an entire system, how one part interacts with and affects the performance of other parts, and how to diagnose subtle problems that appear "over here" and yet cause something "over there" to fail. I took the AR-15 101 Armorers Course. (He also has a Build Course which I did not take.) The class is comprehensive, as demonstrated by the length of the class. If you look at his website about his class, his Overview section is currently 65 lines long, each one on a different topic (e.g. from field stripping, to complete gauging, to the different types of fire control and bolt carriers, to gas rings, gas port erosion, and on and on and on). I won't even try to list all of the topics he covers; check it out for yourself and see. Bring a notepad. Take lots of notes. Chad covers it all. Finally, he makes it fun. He interacts with his students closely, helps them check out their own rifles (yes you can bring your rifle with you and it will get a top to bottom examination by the time you're done to ensure it's in spec), and despite the multi-hour format you'll wonder where the time went when you're all finished. Obviously I'm a fan. With good reason. Whether you're just starting with the AR platform, or an experienced shooter and long-time owner, take this class. You won't regret it.
