    A few steps in on stained glass 101
    Tabitha E.

    Copper Cat has been around for years. I first heard of her over a decade ago, she had a stand at a craft fair or farmers market where she sold her mosiac tile displays, of which I bought some gifts for myself and for my MIL. She was doing some small private classes teaching mosiac styles at that time. Fast forward a few years ago, after following on social media, saw she had moved to a new space off East McCarran, and had some expanded classes taught by other artist creators in the area. My sister saw a glass fusion yard art class and asked if I wanted to join, and I did. We spent a saturday late morning learning how to score and cut glass, and made ourselves some cute cats to put in our yards. We learned it's hard to mess up those things, because they really come out cute no matter the combination of glass you use. Additionally, Donna the instructor was patient, funny, and helpful for the smaller class size of I think around 8 to 10. The smaller class size helps so everyone gets attention when needed and you're not lost in. the crowd. My undiagnosed but definitely have ADHD personality means, I have interests in about a billion things, but only enough time to focus on one thing for shorts amounts of time. I have an entire room of crafting supplies, sewing macine, die cutters, paints, calligraphy, candle making, needlepoint, crocheting... I can keep going. But I have always wanted to try stained glass making, and saw thats a newer class offered at Copper Cat by local artists A Glass Fantasy! Signed up and went and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I think most artists are just creative people who are always encouraging, stained glass is obviously a talent that requires lots of practice, yet they make you feel like a pro. The mother daughter duo are enthusiastic, funny and great instructors. I'm signed up for another class, and thinking of another already. While at Copper Cat, I realized how much its grown and expanded in what it offers. Of course it has local artists goods for purchase, as well as, tons of craft supplies. Added even more class types from felting to resin pouring to quilting and more. AND offers yoga and reiki. The space is clean and organized considering it offers so many types of crafts. But walking in, you feel inspired by all the creativity and color everywhere. Seeing supplies and tools get me excited to create! We are so lucky to have this in Reno, be sure to check out the class schedule for offerings if you like trying new things, need refreshers on old hobbies, or just want help! The owner and guest instructors I've dealt with have been incredible!

    I attended a silk scarf water marbling workshop and loved every moment. The studio has a comfortable and welcoming vibe and very inclusive to creative rookies (like me!). I love that their workshops are dotted on different days and that there is quite an assortment of workshops you can attend. Check out their website and see which workshop strikes your fancy! Some looked to be for an advanced learner but the owner is super responsive to emails and will tell you more about the level of difficulty. I look forward to attending more workshops soon!

    Loved, loved, loved my Silk Painting Class here. It was an expensive class, so there was some hesitation about signing up - but it was the class my mom wanted to attend, so I sucked it up and forked up the money. Very happy I did! A couple days before class an email was sent with instructions e.g. lunch, arrival time - a planner such as myself always appreciates these touches. The class walked you through on silk painting from step 0 to steaming. Louise Noel the instructor was a very talented teacher and equally likable person. She patiently walked each person through each step, spent more time on a person if they asked for help, and made certain that we understood logic behind the basics of each step. She made the class more lively, by amusing stories. I loved how she also supplied each of us with walk away supplies and a typed list of where she got those supplies along with type instructions on the procedure. They have a small gift shop also, with some very nice gifts - where you can also see the results of different potential classes. My mom and I browsed through it during our lunch hour and got inspired to try more classes and I even purchased a lovely gift. Also, during lunch one of the other staff members gave us a quick tour of the location. Very friendly staff. Lastly, Copper Cat's online registration system makes signing up for a class super easy. Totally would recommend the Silk Painting Class!

    This is the building with a big 300 in the front. It was bit tricky to find due to the signage only being on the door. My mother inlaw purchased a gift certificate from the owner Katie. via phone and the receipt plus certificate was available for printing and physically mailed to the recipient. From there you can go on their website and a call/email to reserve class. Once you get inside the instructor welcomes you and gives you a tour of the classroom, shop, resident studios and points out the yoga room. The yoga room would have been nice to walk into, but it was closed off. They owner teaches the yoga and offers tai chi in this room. We had our art instruction in the center of the place with high tables surrounded by materials. Our instructor Donna was the resident there, and she had her art showcased in the other private classroom. She was very informative about Copper Cat workshops and her upcoming events. We made junk heart necklaces, using "Diamond" glue and special wiring techniques..great for all levels of art experience. Donna explained small businesses to purchase art supplies and made sure everyone understood each step of the process. She is very supportive of your pieces and will give input to make your art setting easier. The class consisted of five people and we are encouraged to look at each other's projects which would further enhance inspiration to add to our own pieces. This is a good family activity and it is pretty therapeutic as suggested by the artist!

    I love Copper Cat Studio's offerings and highly recommend to anyone with even a slight creative interest---which everyone has! I've attended Mosaic 101, a leash holder mosaic class, and most recently I created a mosaic birdbath using a recycled roof satellite dish. The owner/operator, Katie Packham Weaver, is extremely helpful yet accommodating to students' preferences. She will help you if you want and need suggestions but is happy to let you go down your own path. The studio space is not intimidating and is nicely arranged with plenty of space to create. There are a wide range of offerings to suit everyone. The studio also has the cutest gift shop to pick up unique gifts or purchases, and regular featured artists' work in the gallery. Check out a class ASAP!

    So, at the risk of sounding creepy, I've been stalking Hammer & Stain for a while. My mail box is…read morenext door to them, you see, so I've been admiring the projects in the window like a shy voyeur. My super-fun SIL and I love to get crafty together, so by sheer luck (or fate, if you will) I happened upon a Super Sunday promo and booked us both for a belated Galentine's night out! First, let me say that boss lady Sydney is absolutely the life of the party! She graciously accommodated a customization request for SIL and both our projects came out great! The workshops are quick, unique, and extra fun thanks to sassy Sydney! If you've been there, done that to the canvas paint & sip places, switch it up and come get hammered at Hammer & Stain!

    We went to Hammer and Stain for a work event. It's not your average craft and sip. You actually…read morefeel like you made something unique that no one else could make. I was terrified the whole time that my piece would turn out awful! But the staff walks you through it and makes sure that you're doing everything correctly. I liked seeing how differently everyone's piece turned out. Thats what set it apart from other activities like a paint and sip. You're able to personalize it, so no one walks out with the same picture. You also can use power tools! What's more fun than that!? The staff was so friendly even when our group got a little rowdy. They helped me figure out color schemes and even brought out the glitter! Definitely want to go again.
