Jessica the instructor is a great guide, flexible, informative and patient. This class isn't cheap but they supply ALL THE ART SUPPLIES and we've painted in acrylic, oils, and watercolors and drawn with charcoal and pencil. Paper, solvent, linseed oil. I was really nervous the first class, but the piece turned out better than I expected. I find the class calming, almost meditative.

But their selection of paint and pottery is awesome. I also like the way they allow you to get your own paint unlike some places that limit you to colors. They have really cute pieces to paint and seems like they have a lot of seasonal switch ups which is appreciated. We did a cute little butterbell and it turned out so good!

When my Cricut has been staring at me from under the plastic for two months I thought it was time to figure out how to use this thing. The class was 2 hours and we were able to complete two projects to take home which was super cool and convenient being so close to Valentine's Day. The instructor was easy going and happy to answer questions while walking us through step by step. I did also learn I'm terrible at this stuff but will continue to work with it I'm hopes I get better. Maybe someday I will be able to return for their Cricut 201 class, but it's doubtful I'm pretty terrible.

She is currently under the guidance of JanRobin Green, who is an instructor that every child should have. I only wished I had a teacher like her when I was young to inspire me and make the world of art come alive.

Not to mention the INSANE work done by the head instructor, I was so impressed! Ginger is one of the most friendly, loving, and hard working women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. So kind, so smart, and so SO talented. Could not recommend more!

I highly recommend ASFD!

I signed up for private lessons with Sheila, who is fantastic. She has been so very kind and patient. Not only has she helped me learn to read a pattern, she also has helped me learn how to use my serger and my sewing machine. I am almost finished with my first project and am excited to start another. If you are interested in learning how to sew, it is never too late. Give them a call. The school is quite large with ample room. I would love to see Ilonka, the owner, have open sew days where people can come and work on projects when you need some extra room to spread out. I would gladly pay for that.

I've taken a few classes here and if you've ever been interested in stained glass or fusing (or if…read moreyou're skilled already and need to buy glass/supplies) this is the place to go! I tried a one time class (3 hours) in the winter and made a snowflake and it made me want to try more classes out and learn how to do bigger pieces- and they have a lot of class variety and dates. I did their 6 week copper foil class and then a 4 week stained lead class. Kris and Lisa are both amazing instructors! I learned so much utilizing the two different techniques, and they're so helpful and knowledgable- always making themselves available to answer any questions you have. You can also use the workshop space outside of class time if you signed up for the 4 or 6 week classes (call ahead and make sure no other classes are going on). I haven't been able to do any fusing classes yet but I hear from everyone who has taken any that they're so fun. They also do repairs and sell stained glass pieces inside- They got it all!

Only after we purchased all the paint did we realize that they recommend a 17 day cure time. This makes it almost impossible to use the paint on cabinets or paint cabinet doors on both sides. We ended up having to let the cabinets dry over a month with a fan on it as they instructed and the paint is still sticky almost 3 months later. Every time we take something out of our pantry, the paint peels off and there are indentation marks from anything remotely heavy. Photo has one small example. And no, I'm not a DIY-er who doesn't know what they're doing. We had a very professional painter do the work. He even called them multiple times to make sure he was doing everything right. We ended up having to get the paint color matched at Benjamin Moore to complete the job because we couldn't jeopardize the custom cabinets we just spent tens of thousands on. Highly recommend just doing that. And silk and sage refuses to return our unused gallons. Don't believe them. Maybe their paint is better for the art in their store and maybe walls but not for actual use in real home projects.
