Doors locked. We all waited outside a half-hour extra. I found out later that they had taken down the event posters inside! So they canceled the event in advance & purposely did not notify attendees (Eventbrite = super easy to notify) out of some weird mix of spite & incompetence. Other folks told us later that this org does this often for different events w/ no explanation or apology EVER! Some drove an hour like me just for this event, so they would need a loan to comp these people at current gas prices! BOYCOTT them into non-existence!

The staff is incredibly dedicated to the center, studio artists, and future of Cottonwood. I see it grow more and more every week. They have fantastic exhibits to enter monthly open to the public.

Very desirable stuff, but I am of an age that I cannot continue to accumulate things so I did not buy anything. There were a lot of throwing wheels so I presume that primary focus is throwing and most of what I saw being worked on was thrown, even though no one was using the wheels at the time of my visit.

After a couple hours with her I'm no longer throwing odd pieces and today I threw 10 mugs in a row that were exactly what I was intending to throw. I about cried with relief bc it's been 3 months of confusion and heartache and sometimes you just need a person to help you work through the mental blocks to get you back on track.

Browsing the vast collection of turquoise and other stones and pieces of jewelry we asked about White Buffalo. Michael showed us a raw mined chuck of White Buffalo of which he explained how he could craft into a pendant to fit on my wife's Navajo necklace. Velez Galleries went above and beyond to create a truly special pendant. Michael's exceptional service and professionalism made the entire experience unforgettable, entertaining and educational. We were particularly impressed with how Michael took the time to explain where White Buffalo was mined and how he could transform a raw stone into a beautifully crafted pendant. This one-of-a-kind piece is something my wife will treasure forever. Needless to say, Christmas shopping was extended for one more day and we walked out of Velez Galleries with a new pendant and earrings. Give them a call or stop by, not only do they create the most amazing jewelry on site but they do repair work as well as buy selected items from the public.

The owner, Coral, was so nice and helpful. She did a brief overview and stayed the entire session running the kiln and actively answering questions and giving helpful feedback.
