My wife is an artist and used to come here a lot, but it's been a while since her last visit. And…read morenine years since my only previous visit. We were in the area so decided to take a joint visit. Very cool of building with a huge variety of art on display and for sale. My favorite areas were the glass blowing and sheet metal/foundry areas. They were blowing glass during our visit. I was amazed at the amount of expensive equipment used, especially in the sheet metal and foundry. Free admission and well worth a visit if you have any interest at all in art.

This review is solely based on the glassblowing class we took at Hot Shops…read more Tucked in the Millwork Commons area, Hot Shops made for such a fun and unique birthday experience! I booked a one-hour glassblowing class for two people, and it was hot in every sense of the word. We got to choose what we wanted to make, pick out our colors, and then our instructor guided us through every step. They made the process approachable, fun, and safe--even for beginners. If you're looking for something creative and memorable, I highly recommend it!

A is for Art is a gem that we came across about four years ago with our oldest child. We are now…read moresending our third child to this fantastic preschool, and have plans to send our fourth in a couple of years when she becomes of age! Jennifer Borelli is such a kind and creative teacher with her students. She has a focus on learning through the arts, which allows students to express themselves in a number of creative outlets. My children have come home with such beautiful projects! I would have to say that my favorite part of my kids' experiences have been the art openings that are held twice a year. We have a potluck which feels like one big family, and we get to see all of the art our little learners have produced. Another favorite is the field trip to Benson High where the kids get to team up with a high school pottery student to create their own works of art. Though she is focused on learning through art, the kids are still provided with plenty of opportunity to burn off energy through activities in the gymnasium. My kids have come home singing favorite songs and talking about the stories they read. The class sizes are small and diverse, which was wonderful for my kids as this was their first experience with care outside of our home. Our family feel so fortunate to have found A is for Art. It has been such an amazing experience for my kids. I would encourage parents to go visit and consider this wonderful preschool experience for their own children!!

People are very friendly , good manner and respectful. The students have room for self discovery and growth.

PMA also provides additional guides, videos, practice exams, and tutoring with the exam prep course. They'll also walk you through applying for the exam if needed.

The instructor, Phillip Jackson, was experienced and knowledgeable, and he was able to explain the course material in a way that helped everyone. He knew all of the material, and he linked it all back to the PMBOK, which closed the knowledge loop to the source document. Speaking of materials, the materials were great, and now they include a practice guide on Agile methodologies, which is very helpful in my organization. Also, the online material was very useful, and the pre-exam tips book was a good read. In total, Phillip did an excellent job, and the PM Academy provided a great learning experience!
