Many of the artists were present and available. The main person I was there to see wasn't there because she was at a festival. She designs the Ukrainian eggs. Wow is she talented! She also shared space with an artist that we bought several items from. If you like local art then this place is great. You are likely to find something you will want and hopefully buy. Highly recommended. We will be back.

It was beautifully organized and such a joy to be surrounded by neighbors, all creating something together. I'm genuinely excited to see our tile incorporated into the final piece. It means so much to have businesses like this that foster creativity and connection--helping to make our community better and more vibrant for everyone. Being in the space was inspiring and see us going back in the future when our baby is bigger to do so more creative projects. So much art to see and all made right here.

Lovely time to be had by all!…read more Lena was my instructor for my first ever attempt at tie dying anything. It was a hoot and a half. Lena herself is extremely talented, friendly and professional. I brought my own t-shirt and as the instructions posted on the website state: Wash Only DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENER. For a first time intro I ended up with an epic shirt. Hahaha! So very pleased with myself. Well this broke the ice and I am going to do it again and again. Wash. Tie-Dye. Repeat.

Peggy…read moredoesn't just show you the basics, she really makes students think about the process from beginning to end. From pre-planning an art project, to sketching to execution of the piece. I've learned more from her than any art teacher I've taken classes from in the past. She also teaches a variety of after school art classes for children as well as classes throughout the school year. It's always fun to see what the younger students come up with. She's pretty amazing and supportive of the kids as well. Her class offerings change regularly as well, so there's never a dull moment. I've taken PMC classes, mosaic art as well as the adult studio classes. Peggy's studio is really awesome - there are a lot of tools, supplies, books, and more to draw inspiration from. The grounds are lovely too - beautiful garden area with flowing water. It's a creative oasis for art students in Cupertino. :-)

I took ceramics from Peggy for 10 years and I cannot even start to tell you how much I learned…read more Peggy challenges her students to make whatever their mind can think of (and that can fit into the kiln). She teaches a variety of techniques in ceramics and allows her students to think for themselves and use their imagination. She also has an unimaginable amount of glazes to help make each piece of artwork very unique and exactly how the artist envisioned it. Peggy also teaches a variety of different art classes as well, not limited just to clay. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had and you will benefit so much if you or your child chooses to take a class (or several classes) from her!

Here,…read moreat Art Garden, the gallery manager was kind enough to give us a brochure and guide us with what there is to see to get the full experience of the area. Things you should know: I. PARKING There's a massive private parking lot outside the warehouse-style building. Available spaces are endless ~ You won't have a problem finding a space. II. SERVICE Accommodating and informative. They'll go out of their way to help you here. III. QUALITY Vast amount of selection of artwork on various mediums. I like this specific location because everything is up for purchase. So, it's not like you can just observe and move on ~ you can actually buy it if you want it.

The instant you walk through the door, it is obvious that this place was built on love and intention. The space is filled with art from floor to ceiling but doesn't feel cluttered. It kinda feels like a big, warm art hug when you walk through the doors. A lot of the art has a kind of "hippie/spiritual" vibe to it. The art filling the studio is colorful and expressive. They showcase multiple artists' work and have a few studios that you can walk through as well as the main gallery hall. When the weather starts warming up, they will be planing a garden and sculpture area outside as well. This outside area will be quite large, the same size as their indoor space. This is an amazing gallery and I already can't wait to go back!

This is a large space filled with tons of locally made artwork. There is everything from jewelry, scarves, paintings, photography and most any other art/crafts you can imagine.

They were very friendly and helpful yet allowed me to stroll through the space alone. I appreciated my experience here and hope to be back soon!
