Willing to help/guide if necessary, creative minds, and just plain genuine and personable. I got the chance to make a glass mosaic (think glass art to hand in a window) and a simple smoking pipe (torch melting glass and all!), and it was phenomenal! I'm seriously looking into taking a few classes; and, besides, I know my money is going to an excellent org that's promoting art, culture, and creative partnerships throughout central Ohio!

Terra Gallery is a working gallery that hosts a variety of hands on events listed either on their site or on eventbrite. I didn't spend much time exploring the gallery because I was pretty sure I'd need all of the time for my project, but there were a lot of interesting looking pieces that I will plan to explore more in the future. The space is a little small, but they have made good use of it, and are planning a move across to Bridge Park soon. I was glad I recruited a friend to join, because we were the only two people in the class! It was a fairly laid back event. The instructor had sketched out the details on the canvases before we arrived, and they provided a little instruction card that kind of showed how to build your piece up. As usual with these events, we ended up with two very different finished products, and my friend chose not to add some of the elements to her piece. April helped her take things out as she preferred. Since it was just the two of us, we were chatting and painting and the instructor was working on her own piece while another woman priced pieces in the gallery. They were very friendly and I had a great time!

I love Young at Art, and I'm so glad I got to visit this place with my family when we were in…read moreLancaster. We visited to try out the Splatter Studio, which is pretty much what it sounds like: it's a studio that you can visit to make splatter paintings. We got outfitted with goggles, aprons and other protective gear, then headed into a room with lots of neon paint and a few blank canvases. The lights were turned off, the music was turned on, and were allowed to splatter and throw paint against the canvases to create our own individual paintings. It was a therapeutic -- and fun, and messy -- experience for my whole family. After we were done, we got to take home our artwork that we had created together. I don't usually like to make a mess, so splatter painting is not an activity that I usually would have sought out myself. But I'm glad that I tried it! Like I said, it was very cathartic and therapeutic. Slinging paint against a wall is a big stress reliever, believe it or not. And my kids, who are used to people telling them not to get messy and throw things, were super excited to get messy and throw things. This was a fun art activity for everyone. The owner of Young at Art, Karla, is a local art teacher, which is really neat. Along with the splatter studio, she also offers art classes and art lessons, as well as canvas painting parties. Karla is very friendly and made us feel at home in her studio during our painting session. If you're looking for a unique art activity for all ages, you need to visit Young at Art and try the splatter studio.

Kathryn Gallery is a very high end gallery that features American artists but prides itself on its…read moreinternational artist collection. I've found a lot of Spanish art here and even some Israeli art. One of Kathryn's signature artists is Jaline Pol, a well-cultured French artist. She paints big, globby flowers. She's really good. I don't think she uses any brushes, just a palette knife. I saw her stuff in another high end gallery on a recent Chicago trip. I recognized her immediately. That's one of the key requirements of great art: a recognizable style. Her color palette is also very bright and upbeat. Most of the pieces at Kathryn Gallery are landscape oils. But there are also sculptures. The sculptures tend to have a circular-motion feel, if that makes sense. Even the stickman types are bending into a sphere, making them appear voluminous. For nearly a year, Kathryn Gallery has also been showing these vibrant swirled pitchers that look like something you'd see in Fantasia. They have leaves and lily pistils placed in offbeat places. I don't know what you'd do with something like that, but they're fun to look at for a few minutes while you're visiting. I love Kathryn Gallery's location. It's at the south end of the district near a bunch of other galleries. It's on a corner, so it has all these display windows that are very alluring from the outside, but they also provide a bunch of natural light inside the gallery. I do wish the art changed more rapidly. Sometimes they have the same stuff in there for what seems like months. They don't have exhibits like, say OAL. But they do put pieces in the closet and bring them back out six months later. They do, of course, also get new stock. If you go, I have two suggestions. One, fill your pockets with some of the chocolate from the candy dish near the entrance. Two, go all the way to the back under the exit sign; there's a closet/hallway back there filled with more art.
