    There simply is no better warm glass studio in the mid-Atlantic region for learning kiln formed…read moreglass techniques. Owners/artists Judith Conway and Kevin O'Toole invest huge amounts of personal attention, time and energy in developing unique class offerings that exploit the quality Bullseye glass they stock. The knowledgeable staff, glass artists themselves, are supportive and eager to assist students as they learn new techniques and explore new artistic territory. Classes range from introductory kiln forming to advanced courses on specialty techniques presented by internationally recognized artists. Beginner classes give students an excellent grounding in the science of glass and the rudiments needed to produce quality work. This kind of attention to detail is what sets Vitrum classes apart from others. Class sizes are small enough to afford plenty of individual interaction with instructors. Staff can and does provide advice regarding the level of experience a student needs to be able to fully enjoy the more advanced classes; this is one of the special touches that factor into a truly valuable class experience where all learners are able to progress at a similar pace. Class schedules are offered on a semester system; be sure to sign up for the constant-contact-based newsletter for notices of classes, special events and sales.

    I recently started a transition to working with glass as another form of jewelry making, and my…read moreknowledge has been greatly enhanced by going to Vitrum Studios. I learned about Vitrum through Maryland Hall for the Arts in Annapolis, and the classes offered are challenging and exciting. As a novice, I am treated as welcomingly as the many experienced artists. I never feel like a novice, because Kevin and Judy explain everything so well, that I get a full understanding of the approach, tools and methods for each particular style being taught. The classes are so enjoyable - and the teachers put in a lot of time over and above the class time to make sure that what we produce comes out really nicely - including cold working and firing that can't be finished during class. Vitrum offers great sales on their glass materials throughout the year, and they do a wonderful job of communicating with their customers. Sign-up fast for the classes when they are posted by email - they fill-up really quickly.

    I always see this place in passing, but one day I decided to stop in…read more Brentwood Arts Exchange has all types of cool happenings. The space is amazing: Track lighting, natural sun light from the window paneled entrance, large white walls. The design is simple and sophisticated, great place to rent out for an event. Note: they also have a class room that can be rented for presentations and demonstrations. You can purchase original paintings, sculptures, pottery, and jewelry here.Greeting cards of all sorts available with unique and current pop, political- cultural messages and lovely artwork too! I bought this beautiful ring made of rock by Ebony Westbrook, it's called an Upcycled ring. The term upcycle means to reuse (discarded objects or material) in such a way as to create a product of a higher quality or value than the original. Yeah a new one for me too! Prices here are very reasonable. A nice place to get that artistic friend /mentor a mature, rare, and eclectic keep sake. For me, as I get older going to the mall and making certain trendy commercial purchases just feels like I'm purchasing junk. So, I am always happy to find nooks in the county or city, where I can get someone something that actually is hand made or represents something timeless. The staff is very kind and friendly. The art exchange gives art classes for children as well as adults, also lots of local art exhibitions take place here, as well as musical performances, everything from Hip Hop to Electronica. I feel an urgency to support this place, because far too many times art hubs get evaporated by big business and we don't miss them until they're long gone. May this place NEVER rest in peace- LET'S SUPPORT LOCAL ART!

    Full disclosure: I'm a teaching artist who teaches classes here sometimes…read more I adore the Brentwood Art Exchange. A partnership between Gateway Community Arts and MD National Park Commission, there are two galleries and two classrooms inside this nondescript building, as well as a small retail operation selling local artisans' goods. They've got great space and great curation. They're right on the bus line, and also have a Capital Bikeshare rack in front of the apartment building next door. They offer children's art classes (from age 6-14) and I believe they offer some adult classes, too- or will soon. It'a a special, very accessible art space. We need more like it.
