We had to draw the entire sunflower image ourselves and then the instructor was going so fast it was hard to keep up. Several of us had issues. For this to be my first time ever doing an activity like this it really ended pretty bad. It wasn't a great experience for me. I would like to suggest that maybe for classes you all offer an option for the image to be shaded on the boards for classes to help individuals like myself who has never done this before. I would rate my experience 1/10 for sure.

They offer a variety of arts and crafts classes downstairs and have over 60 juried artists that sell their art in the store. We enjoyed our short pit stop here and we each bought a small souvenir before getting back on the road.

Definitely worth a stop! Huge selection of crafts at all price points. Quality things, not junk.read more

They are small classes and so you get lots of 1 to 1 instructions. All supplies are included and you go home with a beautiful glass art piece. (At the bead class I actually made about 15 beads) I can't say enough about how fun and enjoyable these classes are. I had zero experience with anything like this and the instructors are so knowledgeable and help you feel at ease. They are always adding new classes - the latest exciting class that has caught my eye is a Fused glass Class. Visualize Art Studio would be fun as a girls night out, or couples fun date night....or anyone wanting to learn how to make beautiful glass art!!!

I really liked my stop into this cute shop (located in Solway in the same complex as D&B's Hot…read moreDogs). The owner is super sweet and while she picks up many items at craft markets, there are a TON of items that she makes herself. In fact, I had FOMO over a pair of Vol earrings I loved on my first visit, stopped back in a few days later and they had sold. She said "oh, well let me make you a pair right now." She didn't end up having all of the parts on hand but took my number to call when she was able to make a pair. What great service! Also cool, they do weekend craft workshops that are super affordable. She spreads the craft options on the entry table with prices listed and you tell her what one you want to work on. You can get $5 crafts for kids while you do a $40. Many craft places have a blanket price of $60 and up, regardless of age or project, which I know would deter me from bringing my kids. They also sell wooden DIY craft kits to bring home. They supply everything but the paint. There were many options.

The Art Center is a worthwhile visit. Galleries feature rotating exhibits of works by (mostly)…read moreregional artists and there are studios in active use for classes in pottery, painting, and other visual arts. The annual open show (a juried show that attracts high-quality work) and the annual camera club photo show (also judged professionally) are perennial local favorites in the galleries. The galleries are modest in size (this isn't the Knoxville Museum of Art, whose huge spaces seem like they were for large-scale works) and well-lighted. Admission is free, but the art center is a community nonprofit that always appreciates donations. The Art Center is easy for Oak Ridge visitors (and even residents) to overlook because it's not on a major street. It's not far away though -- in fact, it's only a short walk from sites like the American Museum of Science and Energy, the Oak Ridge Civic Center, and the Peace Bell (or you can drive, which is what most folks do). Operating hours are limited, so call ahead.
