As a Retiree, I recognized early on that I needed establish a focus to carry me through the remained of my life. The Springs offered its residents an introductory art class. I enjoy the process and within a short period began taking lessons from Ann Bruckner at The mosaic Art Loft in Sherwood. Because of the quality of the art instruction provided by Ann and her excellent staff, I've been privileged to have participated in three community art shows, and two shows at the Springs, and have sold a number of original art pieces; and still taking the occasional lesson from Ann and actively practicing and producing original multi-media art

Staff - the owner Ann and our teacher, Christina are absolutely amazing. 2 of our kiddos attended their classes for ~3 years and we loved the overall experience. Use of different medias, the overall process, availability of camps and even showcasing your kids' artwork at the local library or Art Center - are all amazing things that we experienced here. Our kids absolutely loved coming in and spending every Monday creating. COVID was a challenge for everyone, but Ann and Christina put together an amazing plan to engage with students virtually. While most extra curriculum activities (i.e. sports) were not available, Mosaic Arts Loft provided needed activity to our kids and they were looking forward to their weekly classes. If you are looking at options for your kids in the area - I highly recommend them. You will not regret and your kids will enjoy creating masterpieces that you will be able to proudly display in your home and gift to friends and families. Thank you!!!

When I reminded her I have never been provided her terms, not did I make any agreement to them, she emailed me a copy of the terms. I would not do business with any school this shady. You can even cancel at state schools and colleges if you do it within the timeframe (which they provide upfront).

Only complaint is that they could have scheduled the sessions in a better way. A bunch of different people were scheduled in the same session and we had to wait for our turn, while other people got a turn before us. We basically saw the whole process repeated a few times and it got repetitive. But it was still fun to go through it ourselves. There are a lot of other activities to do here as well, like painting, art welding and wood sign painting. Worth a visit!

My friend and I had a wonderful experience making candles here on a Friday night! There is street…read moreparking but also 2 parking garages nearby within walking distance (and first 2 hours free!) This workshop is small but full of bright colors and farm house vibe with lots of fun projects to do. We were greeted warmly by the friendly staff and this workshop started promptly with detailed instructions to explore 20 different scents and discussion of their categories. Both Zoe and Elizabeth were super helpful in guiding us to choose adjacent or complimentary scents for our candles, and the hardest part was choosing only 2 scents to make your candle! You reserved this experience online but you can also upgrade to a different containers (a tea cup or pumpkin - so cute!) and add extra candles onsite. The candle will need at least an hour to 2 hours to set so we were free to walk around Orenco station and got to snack and catch up while our candles were drying. My friend was able to pick her up that night but mine was not set yet so I had to come back during the weekend. They have so many cool projects to choose from and a good selection of beverages for purchase. I will definitely be back with other friends to try out other projects in the future. Check out their website to see if any of their projects will pique your interest!

I asked where the nearest bathroom was and they told me where the "clean" one was and where the "closest" one was, I do appreciate that info. After we got settled in, we did the entire process in about 45 min and was pretty impressed with the quality of the slime, the smell options, etc. Our 3 yr old had a great time. I will say the price for the make your own was a bit of a shock at $27, but they were very up front about it and didn't try to sneak it in. It wasn't bad as a one time thing.

Visited this place for the first time yesterday for a playdate with a small group of kids. The…read more4-star rating reflects my kid's score (5 stars) and mine (3 stars) together. Here are my 8 year old's thoughts; he called it "a really fun place to make great slime" - you can make really cool textures of slime, including "cloud" -- the kid recommends "clear" and "butter" because they are the most stretchy and squishy of all the options - you can add smells and accessories - the employees are really nice and tell you what to do - it's satisfying when it's mixing because all the colors come together As a parent, I'll say this makes for one expensive playdate. At $30 a pop it adds up, and the hands-on time is maybe 20 or 25 minutes total. Still, every kid there was having a good time. And there are a lot of fun mix-ins so that everyone makes something unique and uber-personalized. And the slime is still top toy at home on day 2. You can make reservations ahead of time, but those seem loosey-goosey because walk-ins are also welcome any time.
