Having a "Glass Experience" at The Furnace counteracted a cold January day. Our Experience was…read moreguided by Danelle, whose warmth and bubbly personality added to the fun. She was expert, not just at glass, but also at teaching, and was great at working around my mobility limitations. My friend and I both decided to make glass bowls, and after these annealed over a 24-hour time frame, we ended up with lovely keepsakes. Expect to learn a lot in a very short time. The Experience is a little pricey, but worth it, especially considering the individual focus. Don't rush off--you'll want to explore the Gallery and pick up a few treasures (use your 7% discount the day of your Experience) and seek sale items. I fully expect to book another Experience!

It takes real commitment and the willingness to be honest with yourself and share with others. Now I have only a few sessions left, and don't want it to end, and have made friendships that I deeply value. Art is a language of the soul, and listening to one's soul takes some practice. It's a self-discovery journey that one's art reveals. Thanks to Michelle and Kc, our facilitator. I'd do it all over again, and would love to take more classes!

Went Wednesday night with a friend to "paint your pet". You…read moreemail them a photo of your pet, they sketch it on canvas, and you paint it! It's one of the best classes I've seen out there since the painting is so personalized. It's also a bit more expensive than other classes because of the extra work that goes into it ($50). I think this class is better suited for people who have painted a couple times, or more. Next time I'll try a class where we're all painting the same thing, so it's harder for me to mess up. When all the pets look so different, it's hard for them to help you mix paint colors and walk you through every step. Some of the paintings were AMAZING and you could definitely tell these people had inherent artistic skills. People were looking at mine and smiling politely... haha. My painting is no masterpiece, but it sorta-kinda looks like Izzy. My fiance laughed at it when he saw it, but it was the first painting I've ever done! The instructor was helpful, and she went around to everyone giving them pointers and tips. The class included a drink, and they had little appetizers (mini meatballs, cheese, crackers, grapes, peanut M&M's!!!!!, hummus). It's a really cute space, and a fun thing to do with friends. Definitely recommend! P.S. There is a garage with free parking right behind the studio.

Art on the Brix has a really cool "open studio" on Tuesdays (less than $30). I had a great time…read morethere, the owners were very accomodating. It was a very relaxing experience, totally open-minded, and a lot of fun! Highly recommended to anyone in the greater Denver area for a visit to try the "open studio". I was surprised that the cost was so low when let you take your canvas with you, which is moderately sized. This would be an absolute blast to come with a group of ~10 people. They have a "paint your date/mate" night - where you can do a portrait of the person you come with. Sounds like a blast - I fully hope to get back there. Beer/wine is available for purchase too, at less than restaurant prices. My only complaint, is that it's hard to find. If you enter from the main street, there's minimal street presence. There's a small sign out front, so don't look for a large window near their address. You need to follow down a hallway before you arrive at the studio. I think it's possible to get there faster from the back side of the studio? Anyway - give yourself time when trying to find the studio. I was surprised to see that other reviews posted were less positive. Reaction to other reviews: --"better suited for someone with painting experience": I've never painted before, and was entirely not intimidated by the environment. I felt no qualms trying funky patterns! --"cancelled birthday party": this definitely sounds like a nightmare. My experience was very unstructured (dropping in to an open studio), so this was not a problem. The staff was very friendly and provided help whenever needed.

Center for the Arts Evergreen is now celebrating 50 years of operations (2025). The facility has…read moreexpanded during my years in Colorado from a small cabin near the Buchanan Park Recreation Center to the repurposed church that is its current location. The Phase II expansion completed in June 2024 has greatly enlarged the facility with community spaces, classrooms, artist studios, an artist-in-residence program, and a state-of-the-art ceramics studio. CAE sees its mission as a community hub, hosting ten annual art exhibits, a wide variety of children's and adult classes and workshops, summer camps, and mentorships. There is also a concert series, community rental spaces, arts festivals, an elegant gift shop showcasing local artists, and many community outreach initiatives. I visit the gallery when I come to Evergreen. It is a nice exhibit space and has presented many interesting shows over the years, featuring material of local, regional, and national scope.

I dropped in just before Christmas to find that they still have my work, unfused and sitting there still. Okay - the holidays, a power outage. So I phoned after the new year, no answer, so I left a message asking what's going on? Nothing. I'm considering asking for my $158 back. In the age of phones, texts and emails, there's no excuse for this lack of communication on their part. I am one unhappy camper. Done in three or four days, she said. Should have been weeks.
