The Art Center is truly a hidden gem for creativity and learning in our community. Whether you're a…read morechild exploring art for the first time or an adult looking to refine your skills, there's something here for everyone. I originally stopped by in search of pottery classes--and was delighted to find not only that they offer them, but also that a new session begins on October 13th. In addition, there's a Fall Break Art Camp for grades 2-5, where children will experiment with a range of media including watercolor, acrylics, and collage. As I walked through the space, I was able to watch artists at work and enjoy the current gallery exhibits on display. The atmosphere was inspiring and welcoming. Adult fall classes--running October 6th through December 13th--are also available, covering both visual and ceramic arts. Each class is taught by individual instructors, making it approachable for students of all levels. Best of all, online registration makes it simple to sign up. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that such a wonderful resource has been right in my neighborhood all along. It was a great experience, and I've already registered for pottery classes--something I'm really excited about! If you're looking for a place to explore your creative side, I highly recommend checking out the Art Center. Great value for 8 weeks art class at $280

Last night, I enjoyed my first Tai Chi class, held outdoors on the lawn. The instructor was precise and attentive, making sure we were getting into each pose correctly while maintaining our pace throughout the practice. I especially loved being outside, using my senses, staying present, and even catching a beautiful sunset along the way. This is one of Spruill's free wellness classes, offered on the first Monday of each month. What a beautiful way to bring wellness, art, and community together! Once again, the Spruill Arts Center reminds me that inspiration can take so many forms. If you're looking for a place to explore your artistic side, try something new, or connect with the community, it's definitely worth checking out their calendar for upcoming events.

I recently took an 8-week "Intro to Drawing" class at Spruill and had a wonderful time! My…read moreinstructor was Thomas Key and I appreciated the way he organized the class. The pace was perfect and I never felt as though we were moving too fast. There were only 4 people in my Sunday afternoon class which allowed plenty of opportunities for him to walk around and help us individually. We also had opportunities to take little snack/bathroom breaks. The building is shared with the library and since that's closed on Sundays, there was usually ample parking. Sometimes there would be a children's performance in the theater near our studio but it was never really disruptive. Although sometimes, there would be less parking spots near the studio entrance on those days. I genuinely enjoyed taking this class at Spruill! I hope to take more classes here in the future and I even told my friends about it. The classes are reasonably priced for the quality of instruction that they offer, and there may be a few need-based scholarships available on their website. I believe there is a donation-based supply closet available to students who are currently enrolled in art classes, but the closet itself is only open during the week. Overall, I think Spruill is a great place hone any craft and I would love to take more classes in the future.

I know it is original local art and I'm all for getting what you can for the artist, but 1000+ for something it looks my kid did at Splatter paint studios?! No disrespect... but I'd hang my kids stuff for sure and it didn't cost 1000! The stuff we are standing in-front of was really cool... acrylics and resin... very cool art work and I was interested but not for the prices they wanted. Interesting stop in the North Point Mall though...

I usually am really late reviewing places but I can't keep this place to myself! Coming to AR…read moreWorkshop Milton was far from a stroll from my home in Doraville but oh my! When I arrived at Crabapple Market, I marveled at the beauty of the new mixed-use development made to look like an industrial redesign with rustic and cozy touches. AR Workshop is on the second floor and as I went in last night, I thought the interior aesthetic was in unison with its outside appearance. Check out some of my photos to see. There's a sense of wonder and tactility as you move about the workshop and I got excited about what the evening held in store. I was there for a floral arranging workshop with Bloom Crabapple, the floral design business of my dear friend, Anita Jupin, of over 10 years. I've loved her since I met her, but for those unfamiliar with her, her discerning eye for design and gentle, patient instruction captivate from the first instance. My sister and I sipped on bubble tea that I grabbed from around my way as we painted our planter's boxes and built up our beautiful and wildly different floral arrangements. I went to the workshop mostly to support Bloom Crabapple but I left asking metaphysical and existential questions about life and myself. Yeah, some deep thoughts and feelings. Maybe you don't need all that but you'll still have tons of fun playing. Working with your hands and your imagination simultaneously. I'm not sure when the last time was that I really did that, as I've been raised to color between the lines, but man, I seriously can't wait to participate in another workshop soon.
