This business did a camp at our kids school and had to be supervised at the end of camp as the…read moreemployees were acting in manners so inconsistent with the schools values that the administrator and teachers did not feel comfortable leaving the instructors with the kids. The instructors were yelling at the kids to the point teachers were hearing it throughout the school. The instructors kept making statements about the kids not looking at them like "they were stupid" or "dont act like you're stupid." What made it even worse was this employees behavior was excused and the owner said she was regretful. This behavior shows prejudice and is not a simple mistake when the instructors make this statement over and over for a 6 hour class.

The instructors are so creative and very attentive to the kids. I can't wait to see what they create at their camp next week. If you have creative kids like I do, you should definitely give Abrakadoodle a try. You will not be disappointed. I love the treasures my girls bring home each week.

CIY Pottery is a wonderful and creative space for artists of all skill levels. They have…read morememberships, classes and a ton of workshops on their website. You can also create a private workshop with family/friends if you want so share the experience with people you know. The space is open, inviting and super clean for a pottery studio! The staff and instructors are really nice and helpful and their prices are competitive with other pottery studios in the area. This is not just a paint your pottery type of studio, it's the real deal where you learn how to make ceramic pottery/art from scratch! I love this place.

Very cute spot for a date! My boyfriend and I went and got matching mugs to paint. It was a very…read morepeaceful place. Seating was rather limited, so I would go early or reserve a spot (which I believe you can do). There is a variety of colors to choose from and have samples to know how the paint will look when fired. Some people have already mentioned it, but I highly recommend doing multiple layers. Our mugs ended up streaky in some spots. The paint dries fairly quickly, so it wasn't too bad applying layers. There were a lot of pottery pieces to choose from. I wish there were more like basic pieces though to have a more blank canvas. The prices were reasonable for each piece! The prices were written on the bottom. The firing process took about a week. My boyfriend and I have been using our mugs almost every day and they have held up well! Paint on mine did chip on the side, but my boyfriend's mug has been completely fine.

It was clear that the venue cared about patrons' health and safety. I would have preferred a better sound system to hear the performance, but I'm not sure whether that has to do with the venue.

Classes are also offered in the adjoining studios. Pops is currently showing here along with his fellow artists from Building 10 at the Lorton Workhouse Arts Center, so husband, Moms and I went to the wine and cheese reception they held to kick off the show. Curators and employees are friendly and knowledgeable, and the caliber of artist is exceptional (no bias here, really). All the pieces on show are for sale, and the gallery also has a little gift area selling smaller pieces like stationery, jewelry, and pottery. Husband and I picked up a miniature ceramic vase for a steal. ArtSpace is a bit isolated and remotely located near "Old Town" Herndon, but it's worth seeking out.
