    My goal for this year has been to try new things and have new experiences. And as someone who loves…read moreto create, work with my hands, get messy and fill my home with things that I made, a potter course was a no brainer! Blue Skies Pottery has been on my radar for a while. I no longer live in Hoboken, but still really wanted to try my hand at their wheel course! For 2 hours, you get to done an apron, and learn from one of their very kind and patient instructors. We first made a bowl but mine somehow did not make it to the actual bowl stage. I was encouraged by the intructor saying that going too far is what pottery is all about. Why play it safe when you can just mush it back into a big ball and start over. So try 2 was for a vase! Sure it's short and swirly and imperfect but I personally love it and it now holds all of my make up brushes proudly. Their beginners course is $75 for a two hour lesson. You can choose to fire your piece or pieces for an additional $15 a piece. So really the wonky vase you think looks silly is actually a $90 ceramic masterpiece... You pick them up a month later and marvel at the fact that this was just a blob of clay 30 days prior. I'm now soooo excited to try one of the 6 week courses and get better and better, but really just mostly love the idea of working with my hands uninterrupted each week. Thanks for a wonderful experience!!

    First rule of pottery class...don't be sorry. Second rule…read moreof pottery class...just have fun. Our instructor, Sue, was welcoming as soon as we arrived. Each class holds a maximum of 8 people (please don't be late). This was always something I wanted to do ever since I saw the film, Ghost. Sue makes it a point to know everyone's name from the start but she gave me a special one...mom, because I came with my 21 year old son. Lol. She kept the entire class laughing throughout by getting to know each of us personally. I really enjoyed the group we were with. I already knew that I wanted to make a bowl so I can display it in my home. I wound up with a little dish instead. On my 2nd attempt I was like okay, you got this, you can make a bowl. I must have put too much pressure on the clay while going too fast on the pedal. Sue shouts out...look at mom go, she made another good looking plate. I guess I can use it as a jewelry dish. The pieces need time to dry. Choose the colors you want on the wall and they will glaze it for you. You pick up the finished pieces in 4 weeks. Please check out their website for prices. This was an introduction session but they also have weekly classes. I thought it was so sweet of Sue to ask if I had fun. I replied...I sure did because YOU made it fun for all of us!!! I highly recommend this activity if you've never done it before. I found it very therapeutic. You will also have the softest skin ever after you wash the clay off your hands. I had a blast. This place is located in Hoboken, NJ, hometown of Frank Sinatra. It's full of tree lined streets, cafes, and amazing restaurants. So come make a day out of it.

    Local event resources were hyping up an evening comedy show at a new spot called "The Collective"…read more The tickets for the show were available in various packages, some of which included a "custom hat", which was very mysterious to us. Hats seemed like an odd counterpart to a night of humor, but we also had not heard of The Collective and were not sure what type of business it was. Thanks to a sidewalk placard, we were able to locate the business on the second floor of a smaller, remodeled building. The sign called out the hat crafting, which was particularly helpful in catching our eyes, though we were still not sure what to find when we made our way upstairs. My companion was recovering from surgery and was happy to see that the modernized building included a small elevator so that he could avoid the narrow staircase. When we arrived at The Collective, we were created by incredibly nice folks! We were introduced to the owners, Gary and Grace, a young couple that created one of the most unique and creative spaces in town! Gary took us on a tour, where we saw an art gallery with pieces from various local artists, a room selling vintage rock t-shirts and records, a custom hat designing studio (trucker's and cowboy-ish styles), a candle-making facility and display area, and much more. The team was really optimizing their location by offering a variety of after-hours classes and events, all of which were BYOB. The first of which was the comedy performance, which was held in the main room, where a variety of mismatched seating and a small stage were located. The troupe was led by Matt, while the show was MCed by Grace (a different woman than the owner). The two of them were outstanding, as was every other comedian in the hour and half-long show. We had been to a good number of similar local acts and been very let down by the lack of laughter generated. However, that show was had us cackling out loud! We truly enjoyed our time at The Collective and all of the friendly people that we met there; we could not have asked for a better evening! I hope to attend some of their future events as well.

    I got the coolest custom made hat here. I like the vibe and the owners are friendly. You can rent…read morethe space here and there is also an art exhibit here as well.

    This is a wonderful place to have a date night!…read more My date and I learned how to paint alongside other people who signed up for the class. There were only 10 participants (including ourselves), so it was not too rowdy at all. You're expected to bring your own wine and snacks for the event because it will last up to four hours (6-9pm) but time goes by quickly when you're having fun. There will be music playing while you paint and you're free to talk, so don't stress about this being taking super seriously. The painting is taken step-by-step and the instructor was a very patient young woman. She encouraged us to ask questions and request help if needed. She who knew her craft, but never looked down on us if we weren't painting exactly to the original material. After all, art is subjective. By the end of the event, you'll be able to take your painting home so it's encouraged to leave your signature. I felt incredibly proud of my work and it's a great conversation topic to go on about for the rest of the night. I would come back over and over again, as long as I have a partner with me. It's more fun with someone you know.

    This paint and sip was super fun. The instructor was cool. It's a laid back painting experience yet…read morefun. You can bring wine or non alcoholic beverage. My friend and I shared a light snack. We were able to talk and paint and also listen to the instructor. Honestly as someone who is not artistic my painting came out pretty nice. I would definitely come back and recommend to do this for a bday, girls night or date idea. There is a parking garbage near by . It's Hoboken, so parking is not easy so keep that in mind and go early.
