I am planning to do some drawing and possibly more painting over the Summer. They offer kids classes too. We used water colors as the base today and she started by teaching several techniques, which was incredibly helpful once we started our abstract pieces. We also used pastels on top, which I thought added a really cool texture to my work. The teacher made each part seem so simple, everyone in the class was able to make something really beautiful. So much fun! Go check it out.

I was really excited to get in to the Yelp Elite event as I only just started to embroider January…read moreof this year. Being that the event was on a Saturday the parking lot was relatively empty so I didn't have to find street parking, but I did notice many of my classmates found street parking. No one complained do it must have been easy. The class was small and intimate with 8 of us present. The instructor Karin introduced us to the Art Students League of Denver, the offerings, and some history. We went around the room and discussed everyone's level of experience and interests. She really listened and worked to tailor our experience based on our responses. Each seat was set up with the materials we needed and we started off with introductory stitches. After an hour we focused on our Art piece and near the end of class picked up remaining supplies to finish our work at home. 10 mins before leaving we all did stretching exercises and cleaned up the room. I'd recommend attending if others are interested in learning something new or expanding their skill set.

I will say it's a small theater with limited seating. If you come later, there's a chance you'll have to stand for a show. It does get a bit stuffy and hot on some nights, but seeing people try out improv is worth it. There seems to be a lot of various classes to take including, but not limited to, improv, comedy, and puppetry. And if you graduate the improv classes, you are able to try out for the house teams that they have here. Hilarious and great way for people to express themselves

If, like me, you spend an embarrassing amount of time surfing the "on trend" articles that pop up…read morein your social media feeds, you're probably already aware that Adult Coloring Books are the hot new thing. You probably already know that several recent studies have shown that creating and or/coloring art is a form of meditation that can be as beneficial as many forms of "traditional" therapy. But did you know that there's a place RIGHT HERE in Denver that offers all this and more? Violet Hive is tucked into a cozy, comforting space behind a Colfax gem shop (signage on the window), and offers Art Therapy to children, teens, adults and families. What is Art Therapy, you ask? Do you have to be an accomplished artist to benefit? NO-- Art Therapy is for EVERYONE (especially young children who may have trouble expressing their feelings in words, and anyone who may have built communication barriers because of past traumas or events). But wait, you say! I don't have any issues... I'm as well-adjusted as they come! Violet Hive is for YOU TOO... because alongside the Art Therapy, they offer group art classes, workshops, and events. Whether it's a De-Stress workshop for adults (and we can all use a little de-stressing, amirite?) that focuses on learning to create mandalas, or a "Parents' Night Out" (drop off those kids and go have an evening for yourself while they create art in a safe, welcoming space), or a beginning pottery class (spread over several weeks, so you can create, fire, and glaze a finished gift), Violet Hive has what you need. I can't recommend this place enough. Art can, and should be for EVERYONE. However, not all of us have the resources, the space, or the materials at home to create everything we wish we could. Art is good for your mind, body, and soul... so go heal yourself at Violet Hive! You can thank me later.
