Copper Cat Studio

I love this little art studio and can't wait to take more classes here! I participated in a Dutch…read morePour Class (offered through Artown) and had so much fun making a set of coasters. The class size was perfect for this activity, allowing for the teacher to adequately share instructions, demonstrate the process, and work one-on-one with students as needed. The instructions were organized on a print out with all the materials and supplies needed to replicate the activity at home and referenced during the instruction portion of the class. The materials for the class were well-maintained and organized at each place setting for each student. I've taken other art classes elsewhere and I felt like this was a step above with regard to organization, instruction, and take away materials. I loved the experience so much that I'm going to take another class in October, and this time I'm bringing a friend! In addition to the art classes and studio, Copper Cat also has a delightful little art/gift shop with items made from the artists in studio. Most are in the front shop, but some pieces are scattered throughout. Take your time looking at all the wonderful pieces... so many great art gems for sale at very affordable prices. This little shop is now on my go-to for gift shopping.

Finally made it out to visit Copper Cat Studio! What a beautiful shop; so much larger than I ever…read moreexpected. Spacious and well-lit classroom space. I'm not a mosaic or stained glass artist, but even to my eyes, the supply they carry looked amazing. Also local artists' works (including the owner Katie's) throughout; perfect for gift shopping. Yes, original art makes great gifts, while supporting a local woman-owned business! Everything is so tastefully, lovingly displayed. Just very lovely space. Hope you'll come visit.

There were many thought-provoking and educational pieces. I love that the fruit and vegetables planted on site is accessible to everyone. I also love the floral mural and curtains in the lounge. The retail items in the gift shops are gorgeous as well. Would have been awesome if there were NMA merchandise to purchase for souvenirs!

The wife and I decided to have a ditch day from work and while having breakfast I wanted us to do…read moresomething we don't often do but both enjoy, and that's why we came to the Nevada Museum of Art. As a walk in on a week day there were a couple groups of students touring and a few other walk ins, but for the most part it seemed like we had the place to ourselves. We spent a couple hours taking in as much as possible, from fully immersing ourselves in Ernesto Neto's Children of the Earth to exploring other works like one of my favorites, Ducks in a Row by Clare Rojas. We then enjoyed the bakery in the lower level, quickly admired the Bristlecone clock in the library before departing. There was a section under development that we were unable to explore and we did almost miss the Ernesto Neto exhibit as the entryway was right next to the blocked off area under development. As we were preparing to exit, my wife saw the small entryway next to a table where someone was stationed to block off the section under development. The person stationed there said nothing. Luckily her curiosity led us the exhibit, but we could've easily missed it.

Bottom line: no one showed up to teach my scheduled workshop or has called me to apologize (it has…read morenow been a week). So I can't really give any stars for that. I got a Groupon and the reviews were mixed. It seems like if you are lucky enough to get the right workshop/teacher/materials, it's great! But that doesn't always happen. So I sorta knew I was taking my chances but I do not think it should be that way! I booked online and the email says- You're all set! But I called a couple hours ahead of time to confirm. No one called me back so I had my suspicions as I headed over that maybe the class would be a bust. There's a sign on the door to knock and/or call...i did both, to no avail. Left another message. I waited for like 15 minutes (I really wanted to make the mosaic!!) and then left. A week later, I am still left wondering. Groupon refunded me so that part worked out but I would have been extra mad if I were trying to get my money back from this business that ghosted me. So you're definitely taking your chances if you do! Sad. I wanted the lucky great workshop experience.

My partner & I had a Groupon and set an appointment up for September 23rd at 1:00pm. We arrived at…read more12:45 and were greeted by a "Be back at 2:00" sign on the door. I called several times, no answer. We held onto hope and waited 25 minutes for an employee to show up. Eventually, someone did -- but the reason? Her boss asked her to pick something up. So this lady completely forgot about our appointment and then proceeded to laugh about the irony of her boss reminding her to check online for any appointments prior to this happening. She seemed indifferent overall. The process of making a mosaic is really fun and tedious. That part was great! Only do the 8x8 mosaic workshop if you're okay with figuring it out yourself; the employee there did not guide us at all, despite knowing it was our first time. Once we were finished, she told us that they would need to fill in the gaps with grout and that we would receive a call sometime throughout the week if we were unable to pick up the finished pieces the immediate following day. A week goes by and no calls were received. Shocker, really. Today (October 1st) at around 2:30pm, we called to ask if we could pick up our finished pieces. The same employee from last week answered the phone and told us, "yes," we could, they just "close at 3." We told her it'll only take 15 minutes to get there, which she sounded okay with. We arrive at 2:45pm and catch the lady running back inside, as though she was just in the process of leaving. Which we confirmed to be the case, as she handed our pieces off to us and talked about how she was "leaving early" and we "got here at the just the right time." At this point, I am dumbfounded with how awful this employee is. She hears that a customer is coming to pick up their piece before closing and her instant thought is to leave early/before the customer arrives? As for the cherry on top, the grout looks terrible. There's so many holes. I felt like my contribution to the piece (the glass placement) was done well, but if I had known the employees were going to be careless about it.. I would have done it myself. I am pretty unhappy with the way it turned out and it's not because of my own doing. This place has potential to be great. I feel bad leaving a review like this, but something has to be said. Please do not go here if you're looking for a good glass art experience -- I promise you, this is not it.

Slime Kitchen is a cool one and done experience for most, but maybe a staple activity for some…read more.. We visited the Slime Kitchen Reno with our two boys on a weekday. It wasn't busy and the two young girls working greeted us quickly and got us started on some slime making. The experience itself is really cool. It lasts quite awhile and there are tons of steps from texture to aroma to colors. Every step involves some level of decision making so if you have a really little one, like I do, it's definitely best to accompany them through the whole thing. A grade school aged kid could mostly do everything on their own. After choosing some texture, color, smells, and mixing, you can play with your slime for as long as you'd like. Then you can do your mix ins and package it up. The cost is the toughest thing to stomach about this place. It's $25 to make a slime, so for my two kids and taxes, it was nearly $60 to make something that will likely eventually have to be thrown away. The prices on the retail slimes that you could buy and make at home seemed much more reasonable- around $15. I loved this for my kids- but just this once. I think it would have to be a special occasion to come back and do it again. I could see myself picking up a retail slime for a gift. If you don't mind the $25 price tag, this could be a staple experience for you! Still 5 stars in my book.

After having ice cream at Cold Stone, my kid wanted to go to Slime Kitchen which was just across…read morethe parking lot. We walked inside and the place was packed. We were greeted as we walked in. It appeared they were very busy but they helped us pretty quick. The lady explained to us how everything works and what to pick. My kid put on an apron an he started picking out the type of slime and color he wanted. He even got to pick out the scent. After the mixer, he got to add more things in his slime and mix it around himself. He had fun making slime. The slime is a little on the pricey side I thought but, my kid had fun and the people there were very helpful.

It's alive! Monster mini golf returned to the generator this October with some of the most exciting…read moreand elaborate mini golf creations ever witnessed. Some of the most creative people in the world called the generator and we get to have all of this right here in our backyard. If you're not familiar, the generator is a maker space that house is numerous independent artists that create works of all shape sizes and mediums . It's also a community of artistic folks who come together to learn and enhance each other creativity and teach each other how to become better and more accomplished artists as well. The resource sharing in the space is magical and the work that comes out of it has put our community on the map in a major way. We are so fortunate to have This organization in our community and if you got to check it out, I urge you to hit their website, find an opportunity and get in there. Even if you don't know what you wanna do you can still just drop in and check it out and see everything that's going on so you can be inspired to dive in a little deeper. Back to the mini golf, though this is an annual event where teams come together to showcase their creativity and encourage others to just come and have a little fun interacting with it. The mini golf course has 18 holes a very themes, all tied back to the Halloween holiday my favorites this year had to be the massive Mount Rose Ski lift and Mountain, which was fully operational. I also loved the haunted house that was a full long walk-through or should I say put through and of course, the cow casino, or CowSino, complete with working slot machine that accepted Candy as coins and paid out a massive sugary jackpot when the bell tolled. The cost to attend is super affordable and it's a great outing for a date night family or just friends hanging out . The generator does a ton of other events throughout the year, so definitely hit their website scope out the calendar and get involved .

Thank you to the Generator for opening your doors to non members…read more The Generator is a large open facility for artists to rent space in to work on their large scale and messy projects. I personally have a small space at home that I use to create my greeting cards. But once a quarter the Generator opens its doors to members and non members to host a market night. The night before Valentine's Day I set up a small table to sell a few Valentine and birthday cards I had made. The staff were well organized and made it a pleasure to have a booth and check out other artists. They even had food trucks available for food and a drink booth for libations. Follow them on Facebook and check out their next market night.
