Art zone is located behind Walmart in a nice strip mall near financial offices. The space is shared with the owners workout studio. What a fun combination! My daughter knows Mrs. Russell from school and I enjoy seeing the projects they complete. The website has great themed classes in addition to their free paint hours. The pottery date night looks super fun and the kids night camp is a deal for a parents night out. We are looking forward to another one so we can see a movie and grab dinner. The studio is clean and bright. I am slightly jealous of my daughter and would like to take a week off to come do art all week myself. The fake stained glass class looks amazing, I love to see the masterpieces that come home !

With…read moresome assistance from the super sweet owner Rebekah, we were able to make our own souvenirs from our trip - fused glass ornaments! When I made our appointment and before setting out on our trip, she sent me a video explaining how the process would work so we could get an idea of what we were going to be doing. It was SO helpful! Once there, we got one on one help with our  creations. It was so fun to etch the glass, tap it, and break it. We had the best time and I'm so glad we have these great items to hang on our Christmas tree now!

There are so many things you can make here right from jewelry, night lights, wind chimes, plates, dream catchers and so on. We had our girls night there and spent about 3-4 hours. They have workshops with fixed designs and templates but you can also book a slot for your group and go for freestyle glass creation. They have everything you need. I made myself earrings and a night light all for $39. My friends made wind chimes and plates and were super pleased with theirs too! If you're in SGF, you must give this place a try!

Impressive. I have sought out & received services from Academy Of Hair Design for five months now coming in every three weeks booking the services for Hair Color, Cut & style as well as after care instructions between appointments directly from Instructors on the Floor.. all the while the Instructors are checking the progress & finished results of the learning students... Fostering the development & giving the student one on one attention & ownership of their own craft.. Epic!!! I have also received the services of the Student Nail Technicians supervised by the Licensed Instructors every three weeks. Love It!! I loved the stiletto acrylics.. Such perfection.. 4realz!!! During my last appointment I was inspired by the knowledge dropped from the Teacher to the students in a class happening simultaneously while I was receiving nail care.. Knowledgeable Teacher!!!! I could rave all day long about this place.. from the atmosphere & vibe to the Superior Service I've received.. truly.. Special shout out to Samantha!!! Girl you're my hair guru!!! Mad Love for you!!!! You're wicked smart on so many levels on so many subjects.. Lucky Establishment to have such a gifted teacher!!! Thank You, Katrenia A. Sloan

I have been going to The Academy since 2017, so it is incredibly disappointing to say that I will…read morenot be returning for any services in the future. During my first pregnancy, I was able to have services done at The Academy without any issues. I had my hair done approximately six times while pregnant with my first child, so when I recently scheduled a "pamper day," I had no reason to expect there would be a problem. Unfortunately, The Academy refused to color my hair before an important college event. What was especially frustrating was that I was not given a clear explanation as to why the service could not be performed. I understand that salons and stylists may have policies regarding services during pregnancy, but those policies should be communicated clearly and consistently to clients especially returning clients who have previously received the same type of service during pregnancy without an issue. I understand that every pregnancy and situation can be different, but there are many people who continue to receive salon services during pregnancy. If The Academy has changed its policies, I believe that should have been communicated when the appointment was made rather than leaving me without the service I had planned and needed for an important event. After being a customer since 2017, I expected better communication and consistency. Unfortunately, this experience has left me feeling very disappointed, and I will be finding another salon for my future hair and beauty services.

This is a great prestigious old school that offers a first rate education. The option to take night…read moreclasses instead of overpriced, overcrowded day school courses was for me a no brainer. The night school instructors were all really cool, and understanding if you had to work a long day shift job before you got to class. The professors in general are a bit of a hit or a miss, especially in online courses. Some are excellent, with long histories of teaching and with doctorates degrees that they use to provide the best quality classes every single day, and other professors make your life difficult for no reason, and couldn't care less if you even show up at all. The campus is beautiful and you feel a great degree of history here. I attended here for two years after transferring from another school, and I feel like I never fully explored the place. The campus security is a bit over the top, since I got a parking ticket when I was still enrolling and wasn't yet a student for parking in the wrong direction. I didn't know any better and managed to get it dismissed, but it was a bit of a weird charge. I can't give Drury 5/5, simply because of the price. With a private school, you don't expect tuition to be cheap, but this school is EXPENSIVE. There's really no reason for day school to be so exorbitantly costly, unless you're purely paying for the degree. Outside of the cost, Drury is a good school with good instructors that is generally well worth your time.

So yes this is also a very bias opinion. I go to and work at this university. Have for six years…read morenow in total and wanted to contrast the opinion from so many years ago. Education: This place is first rate. The professors are some of the best in their fields, the class sizes are around 20 students, and coursework current. In my time as a student here I've been taught by retired FBI Directors, Judges, and professors that hold one if not more doctorates. Classes are challenging but also fair. I really can't say enough about the education here. Life: Drury has a large extracurricular activity catalog. There are tons of groups of various sizes, purposes, and commitment levels. You really can find a group or hobby that fits almost any interest. We recommend them to students to help them adjust to campus life. We also have a thriving Greek organizations but in contrast to the first reviewer who was a student of mine the groups only make up 27 percent of the student body. A large amount buy by no means a most of the campus. We have an outstanding Campus Recreation office and they hosts intramural for tons of sports. Administration: Dedicated to see you graduate and being a good thriving individual in your next adventure. I had to giggle a little at the first review and think back to an 80s Evil Dean character. If you want an honest answer yes you will be ticketed for violating policies and the process is designed around learning outcomes. Plus I challenge you to visit the university website and review their community standards. I'm sure you will find the policies fair and very similar to that of any university or community for that matter. I can honestly say its not a violation factory but when you are working with people who are on their own for the very first time boundaries are often tested. Overall and in a very bias way I am proud to be a Drury student and Staff member. This university has given me a sense of pride and accomplishment that I can take with me the rest of my life and an education that promises to make that life an interesting one.

I really learned a lot! Sometimes after being out of 'school' for awhile an 8 hour class can seem a little intimidating but it was well worth every minute of it! Any questions that I or anyone else had was answered and then discussed until everyone understood. I am much more confident in myself since going and I still have so much I want to learn. And now I know the place to go!! They seriously have so many different classes and I 10/10 recommended taking a class here. It will not disappoint! From beginners to advanced, this is the place to go!

We have been attending this church for about a year now. The pastor when we started, was temporary until they found a permanent one, which they finally found one a few weeks ago. The problem is the "Worship Service" and it's gotten worse. The bible tells us to be separate from the world. What a slippery slope the churches today entertain with drums, guitars and the backup singers and dancers on stage. Doesn't feel like church and certainly doesn't make you feel like your worshiping. We walked out during the worship service today and won't be back. Hopefully there is a church out there that has remained steadfast with the bible. The bible doesn't change.....
