The product quality is top-notch, the artwork exquisitely beautiful, and the business' visibility and reputation in the area is growing quickly. I won a growler at an event the Kalamazoo Public Library hosted during the month it participated in beer-related programs throughout the community earlier this year, and we've been thrilled with how fresh and cold the container keeps the beer and what an awesome conversation piece it is when we attend events with other homebrewers.

I'm in love with pottery. We had to register for this event, and you get a slab of clay ( Shea was kind enough to give as many slabs as we needed!) And Shea showed us how to make couple of pieces, we could also make anything we wanted. Shea was kind enough to help us and even fix our pieces if they had any flaw. The event lasted for 1.5 hours and it was so much fun. I ended up making 3 pieces that I can't wait to see. Overall it was a very unique experience and I loved every bit of it.

I love the Epic Center - it's truly a great resource for the arts. And while there is much to say…read moreabout each business that is here, I'd like to just give a nod to the Crescendo Academy of Music. Our daughter takes voice lessons here (she loves Shannon!), and this is an extremely high quality program for music education for people of all ages.

It's a lovely concert while I'm waiting. Take a look around - there is art on the walls, holiday events, art hop events throughout the building each month, and plenty of arts businesses that we support and enjoy.
