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 previously took a class on cookie decorating... but have wanted to sign up for several of the other offerings like learning to paint my pet or paper flower making. While we are under stay at home orders, Give Rise has been doing some online yoga offerings and instructions. They have also been doing kits for at home crafting that seem incredible! I truly think Give Rise is a great resource for the community and showcases amazing talent. I cannot wait til things are back to normal and I can come in for another workshop!

When you first walk in you are greeted and presented with the various projects that the shop has to offer. After selecting pottery painting, canvas painting, or glass fusing you are explained the next steps. We each selected two objects to paint and spent the afternoon in the studio painting away. We go pick up our art in 10 days which is the processing time. The shop does have a strict 60 day policy to pickup within or your art is thrown out. A fun and unique experience!

Instructions were clear, supplies were all we needed and the instructor took time to help my husband when he fell behind (I mean, took his time). The space was set well for the crowd, and there was enough room that we weren't bumping elbows. Bring your own drink-- stop by a local brewery on the way or visit the Dunkin' next door if that's more your speed. As a comparison, this is much more of an art class than a Paint Nite experience, in my opinion. That was totally fine for us, as we planned more for the evening. The general selection of ceramics was a bit smaller than other local places, but they offer a variety of stuff to choose from. In addition to the adult paint nights, they also offer kids classes (two hours, drop off). We'll be back.

Did we ever make it to our original destination, no, but we certainly had a fun time exploring the arts center and would definitely go back again.
