I do however believe quite strongly in the phrase "Happy wife, happy life" and the corollary "I really oughter get creative with the daughter". The Art Collective is an EXCELLENT place for creative gifts for wives and daughters. This is not to discount Dads liking the stuff artistic (so to speak) but I am recommending this store in this particular review as a primo source for can't fail gifts for the wife or daughter who doubt your ability to be fun or even spell "style" with a "y". This store is the place you've been looking for. Recommended

I noticed that not all of the pottery had artist information available, so I asked the person working at the cash register. He immediately knew the artist after looking at the piece. The prices were really great too. Some people might find the pottery expensive, but the amount of work and dedication it takes to make these things is substantial. I also really love this place because they are connected to a pottery studio (Frederick Clay Studio) that offers classes and internships.

They also have other little gifts, such as colorful candles, local handmade soap, and light switch plaques. Cute little place to check out when you're roaming around the downtown Frederick area.

There are no reservations, so you just walk in, select your pottery and paint away. I visited on a Sunday, so it was full when I arrived, but the staff took my name and number and called me when as soon as a table opened up, about 25 minutes. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have about paint, brushes, techniques, etc. Visitors pay the price of the pottery, plus half of the sales price for the glaze and firing of the piece. They were having a 20% off sale for Valentine's Day when I went. All sorts of people partake in this activity, so you could find yourself witnessing a children's birthday party, listening to teens laugh and joke around and watching adult couples show off their artistic skills for a fun afternoon out. You can also bring your own food and drinks to partake while you paint. I would definitely recommend this studio to people of all ages and artistic levels. It's a super fun and relaxing activity.

I also taught a class there in 2007 on holistic business start up. I can tell you they are very thorough in their background checks even for adjunct faculty like myself. I've enjoyed the variety of the courses for retirees. It's wonderful to learn without worrying about grades or quizzes or tests! My most recent class was called, "your corner of the world ". I think it was the best I've taken - it focused on ecology, native plants, and gardening. At our final class we planted about a dozen shrubs near the front of the college. We live nearby and frequently walk on the campus, particularly on weekends with the whole family and dogs. It's a beautiful campus and I think a wonderful asset to Fredrick County.

Beth has taught me how to finish my projects like the high fashion and couture designers. I need my fabric patterns to match and she is so patient and meticulous with the details I obsess about.
