This is a no frills place, and is a little on the cramped side but that doesnt take away from the reason you are there. It cost me $42 to paint two pieces and have them fired.

The atmosphere is also positive and supportive with both student and owner artwork displayed throughout the space. We signed up our 6-year old for art classes during the summer and he's really enjoying his time here. Several rooms are separated by age groups working in various visual art mediums (pencil, charcoal, watercolors, acrylics, etc.). The school provides adult, teen and children's art classes...they also offer a portfolio prep class. Art supplies are included with tuition for all ages. Their rates are also very reasonable. So glad we found this place!

The only feedback I'd have is having other types of projects like painting wood pieces or something like misaic garden stones. Otherwise this place is great. Worth the cost. First time we checked it out wad when they first opened around four years ago. Today I went with my five year old to paint some pottery and a canvas. While there a camp wad starting and they welcomed him in. The owners eric and Kristen are wonderfully patient.

The 6-class package deal was a great bang for your buck and definitely worth renewing.

The Creative Arts Workshop is the place to learn art, pick up a new technique, and meet other…read moreartists. My friend, who is an artist, introduced me to this place, and she says that CAW has a strong reputation in the art community. I have zero art background, but I have taken drawing and photography classes here. All the teachers were friendly, enthusiastic, and well-prepared. I felt like I learned a lot and that the teachers were encouraging of beginners. They have a huge variety of classes here including cool stuff I'd like to try like metal sculpture. There are both short workshops (good for artists who are already well-versed in a topic but want to pick up a new technique) and longer classes. The cost is a little pricey, but well-worth it in my opinion. They also have an exhibition space and show really nice artwork there. This past summer, my friend and I went to see a juried show there and it was very good. The Creative Arts Workshop is a fantastic place to learn art and join an artistic community. I can't recommend it highly enough.

My family has had excellent experiences with learning to make pottery and life drawing at the…read moreCreative Arts Workshop. Most recently my husband and I took a drawing workshop. In the Perspective Drawing of Buildings and Architecture workshop, Eric March introduced strategies, gave students a chance to experiment, and consulted individually to discuss what works for each person and how to expand skills. His presentation was clear, and his comments were gentle and specific. For me, as a non-professional with some drawing experience, the class was engaging and informative - a delightful way to spend two afternoons. Being able to see and draw things from different perspectives makes drawing more fun and satisfying. As someone who ordinarily is more interested in life than buildings, I also realized the advantage of starting with boxier shapes, knowing that I can apply the same techniques to the animate world now that I have seen how they work. I highly recommend the workshop and other opportunities to work with Eric March.

Better yet she is having summer camp again this year so if your kids are like mine and they dont like huge overpopulated camps and they truely love art and music then this is the place for them. This is an investment opportunity for our children's growth and it won't break the bank.
