The studio space itself is well-maintained, organized, and conducive to a productive and focused creative process. They offer all the tools you need to create and additional clay can be purchased throughout the session if needed. The selection of glazes that they offer to finish your projects are beautiful. Additionally, the Peggy McConnell Arts Center frequently hosts events and exhibitions that provide opportunities for students to showcase their work and connect with the local art community.

The theatre is intimate and there is no bad seat in the house. The chairs were comfortable too. Columbus is so lucky to have such great talent like Derek DiCenzo, Reggie Jackson and Robert Floyd. The Bobby Floyd Trio's show "All That Jazz" began with a documentary about this incredible photo taken for Esquire in 1958 Harlem that gathered together so many great jazz musicians. Bobby, Derek & Reggie rocked the stage with Dizzy, Sonny, Basie, Thelonious. The ticket prices are quite reasonable too.

Tatiana Kats and the other instructors had a way of making music something magical and fun to practice.

I came here on a Thursday evening just to do something creative and explore Columbus a bit more. Despite the GPS getting me there fine, i struggled a bit to find the entrance itself but came in to find a big bright studio full of color and fun paintings, with the instructor on the phone helping other lost folks guidance on how to get there. I did manage to find signs that guided me to the entrance thankfully! The instructor and owner introduced herself and we eventually got started. She took us step by step and broke down each step to the size of brush and way to do each technique on the canvas. She walked around and helped all of us along the way. It was a small class of 7 so we got lots of one-on-one attention but I can see how in a more packed class that would be a challenge. She was very patient, encouraging, and super complimentary which I loved! She didn't rush us out of the studio even though we ran late, and since we were a small class she even gifted us a free glitter application on our paintings which is normally $1 extra. The cool thing is she also sells older paintings for $5, so you can check out previous projects and shop before, during, and after you paint. It's a BYOB kind of place but she has corkscrews, wine glasses, and a deal with the bar next door if you choose to order food. The only negative is that the class was supposed to start at 6:30 but we didn't start until after 7 which ended up having us end much later than 9:30, but nothing that would deter me from coming back here and bringing friends as well!

Since then, he has performed at 5 whole school performances and a handful of smaller group gigs. He has learned enough bass guitar skills to pick up additional songs by himself, at home.

The staff at SOR Dublin is , in my opinion, stellar. I couldn't be more pleased with my son's progress.
