She not only delivered the pieces herself but also fired them with a quick turnaround to ensure they were ready in time. The vases were WONDEFUL and made a lot of money for our school! I would highly recommend Studio 2 You to anyone who values thoughtful craftsmanship and supporting local artists, especially those who care about giving back to schools and communities. Thank you again, Davicia, for being such a bright part of our event!

What I love most about Pratt is the instructors are not only unbelievably strong technical instructors but also amazing artists. I didn't just want to learn how to MIG weld, I also wanted to learn about creating a composed sculpture. That's exactly what I learned in Bill Baber's class. Pratt's facilities are top notch! Highly recommended!

If you try it, be sure to familiarize yourself with the links they will send you ahead of the class. One for Padlet, and one for Zoom.

A lot of fun to dive into oil painting! I haven't touched painting in more than ten years but have…read morealways wanted to work on it. The teacher Lendy was very accommodating and helpful to alternate your perspective of painting and getting you out of perfectionism. Hyper realistic art isn't as interesting--and wouldn't you just take a photograph if that's what you want? Not only did you learn a bit about painting in the 8 week or so in person course but also how high of expectations people have of themselves. We started with probably 15 or so people enrolled and the last class had four. Even if you think your art sucks, just showing up and investing time will make it better. No one is good at anything immediately. You can also get out of external validation in these types of classes. If most paintings from others look similar, what do YOU want your art to look like? Is the question to ask. The class is pretty affordable for the hours and time you spend painting as well. The main feedback I would have is a little more time educating. Most of the beginner classes have a quick overview for about 10 minutes and then you start painting for the rest of the three hour class. I might be a very literal and visual learner, but I would love to go through more examples prior to start, and more in depth learning about technique and maybe some history or introduction to artists for maybe a third of the class or at least 30 minutes. Even if it was a pre read, I would read it. You get a ton of experimentation time, I'm a nerd for learning so I may have initially expected equally technical to hands on experience. I definitely recommend trying a class here especially if your more of a hands on "I'll figure it out" kind of learning style or looking for more studio time over lecture or traditional education. Worth your time!

Located in Georgetown, the cute and brightly lit studio is close by an interesting antique store. After your done with the class, you can head over to see if there are any Antique Show-worthy items. Overall, the beginner's experimental class I took was a fun way to explore colors (in the safety of a patient instructor). The desks with paint splatter gave the place a welcoming vibe. It was definitely a stress-free environment. If I have another opportunity to take an art class, I would definitely come back to The Miller School of Art.

You get a 30 minute lesson and at least an hour to enjoy clay. Best part, it's all the clay you can spin. I took full advantage of that fact to keep trying. You only get to keep 2 pieces which they ship to you after it's fired. Amazing value! Amazing experience! FYI: You really don't have time to drink (sipping is the best you can do) and with your hands are covered in clay don't bother bringing snacks.

It's a laid back, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere, which I really appreciate. Encaustic painting is easy to do, but there are some techniques that are really helpful to learn, and it's not a completely non-toxic art; the fumes need good ventilation.
