They fill up quick so I was thinking no way they'd accommodate last minute-- but wow, they did! I was thrilled and it meant so much. Our main instructor was Logan and Mallory was also there to guide us. They were funny, personable, and kind. I'm extremely shy, so it was surprising for my family to see me making jokes and being involved. The energy there just makes you feel comfortable to be yourself. They really talk to you as a good friend; they even remembered everyone's names and seemed interested in each person. (I kept mentioning how hungry I was because I had a busy day-- Logan had a pop tart and offered it to me, lol! It's things like that that make me smile :) As for the pottery making itself, it was so informative but also fun. They made me feel relaxed so I could dive in and give it a shot without messing up. I get nervous doing things like this because I get stressed from work and academics-- I don't want to worry about "messing up" when having fun. They made sure everyone knew that any accident can easily be fixed or accommodated. LONG NAILS: I usually have very long nails. In the photo I have about the Long (L) length currently. Usually it's between M and L. They had accommodations for this and taught alternate methods when needed and it caused no issues. Awesomeeee!! OVERALL: -Kind, inclusive environment -Commitment to making everyone feel comfortable and spreading joy -Great instruction for newbies -Affordable -Great location, lots of eateries nearby -Hilarious instructors -Very "Bob Ross"-esque vibe aka "We don't make mistake, we have happy accidents" love it!

The Lyndon House and Art gallery is a unique and lovely wedding venue. Our daughters wedding was…read moreheld in the art gallery and the reception which was a formal dinner was held in the adjoining meeting room. We had a joyous wedding here. My one complaint was with communication. When trying to reach the staff in the months prior to the wedding several times we found their voicemail boxes full. The night of the wedding the on site staff was a bit snarky in their communication and clearly did not understand that we were their customer. If the venue staff has improved in this one area then the Lyndon House would be perfect!

Everything, from the planning, to…read morethe payment, to the accommodations, to the actual painting session-- it was handled so professionally and yet it still felt so personal, I couldn't have asked for a better experience, especially because I had a lot of issues settling on a date. Kate was the person who handled this specific interaction and I'm not sure if that is always the case, but she is such an easygoing person and was so understanding and patient during our communication, and when everyone showed up to get started painting everything was already set up and the environment was so relaxed that it was impossible NOT to have a good time! Kate guided me to choosing a painting for my party that would fit within the time limits, and the options are nearly limitless so there is definitely something for everyone! Even the boys had a good time! Again, Kate is so relaxed and patient that painters of all levels were very comfortable and she was very helpful in answering any questions! Good to know: they do have adult beverages as well as sodas and water available for purchase! All supplies, including aprons, are included in the price of participating! In short, we had an incredible time and came away with gorgeous "party favors"--our paintings! Would love to come back for a class!

The Art Center is truly a hidden gem for creativity and learning in our community. Whether you're a…read morechild exploring art for the first time or an adult looking to refine your skills, there's something here for everyone. I originally stopped by in search of pottery classes--and was delighted to find not only that they offer them, but also that a new session begins on October 13th. In addition, there's a Fall Break Art Camp for grades 2-5, where children will experiment with a range of media including watercolor, acrylics, and collage. As I walked through the space, I was able to watch artists at work and enjoy the current gallery exhibits on display. The atmosphere was inspiring and welcoming. Adult fall classes--running October 6th through December 13th--are also available, covering both visual and ceramic arts. Each class is taught by individual instructors, making it approachable for students of all levels. Best of all, online registration makes it simple to sign up. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that such a wonderful resource has been right in my neighborhood all along. It was a great experience, and I've already registered for pottery classes--something I'm really excited about! If you're looking for a place to explore your creative side, I highly recommend checking out the Art Center. Great value for 8 weeks art class at $280

Every member of the tour team did a wonderful job of making us feel welcome, sharing lots of information, and being open to answering questions. 10/10 experience highly recommend!
