I believe it used to be a post office. But inside, you have lab-like classrooms, equipped to do all of the above jewelry work, and more. There is a lunch/conference room, with interesting displays of beautiful donated works by past and present craftspeople who have studied and taught at TLS. They also have a library room with tons of industry information. The staff at TLS is accessible and friendly. They truly want you to learn, and are extremely patient about helping you actualize your creative vision. My class was Beginning Silversmithing. Our classroom could hold 10 students, each with a station that included our own torch, work block, cooling water, tools, etc. This was a decent number, and I'd say more would be too many. There was a waitlist to get in, despite there being 2 classes (one on Saturdays, one Sundays), so I recommend signing up early. Demographics of my class were mostly retired people, with me and a young couple as the youngest of the group, by a generation. But everyone was polite, respectful, eager to learn, and helpful toward one another. The atmosphere was relaxed, a Delco vibe, as only Delco can do. My class was full of hobbyists, though a beginner would still need to start here in order to learn to make things to sell if so desired. There are intermediate and advanced courses offered to give more practice and know-how, in order to produce on your own. But for my beginning exprience, given the processes involved (use of torches and such), everyone definitely picked up a number of skills, and was able to create and complete projects impressive for novices. Costs vary, but for example, my Silversmithing was: $180 for 4 classes (10am-4pm) $40 lab fee $32 in tools (and I didn't buy nearly all on the list) We made two silver projects (they're fixed, no choosing), a ring and a pendant. My ring is complete, and I'll post my pendant upon completion. I am making it to donate to a charity auction. All in all this was a fun experience, and definitely worthwhile for anyone looking to learn more about jewelry making. Almost everyone in my class had zero experience with any of the stuff we did, but our instructor, Barry, was really helpful and patient, giving tons of one-on-one instruction after her initial class demonstrations. She prepped us with a folder containing all kinds of background info, supplies that were mandatory, as well as optional, and let anyone pick her brain for more info at any time. Though our class was every other Saturday, many of us still missed at least one day for various reasons (winter illness at the top of the list), so Barry very kindly offered to give us a make-up class, of another full Saturday with her at our disposal. It was very kind and amazing of her and TLS to provide so much more time!

Recently finished a 5 class package with Linda. First time ever using a sewing machine. I feel…read morelike it was enough time to get a good foundation to spring board into a new hobby. She has a variety of machines to try out which is nice if you're deciding on purchasing one. Linda also is super flexible with projects and customizing the classes to your needs and wants. I was a bit ambitious and picked a pattern so I would be able to learn how to read patterns as well as use a machine, and I feel like those skills were accomplished, and after 5 classes I feel like I progressed quickly with my comfort using the machine. Also, the classroom is a room in her home and it is lovely. Highly recommend! Thank you, Linda.

Just attended a lovely wedding at the Wallingford Community Arts Center. I've been to quite a few…read moreweddings lately, and this place is much better than most. I love that the space is built onto the existing Dixon mansion, which was itself built in the Arts and Crafts style (?) Don't miss the coffered ceilings, the wrought iron detailing in the entrance windows, and the beautiful tilework and woodwork around the fireplaces. We were in the large space with the high ceilings, with artwork on the walls. I loved that the artwork was all local - it really brought home the community aspect. The event was very well managed, and the food was delicious. I felt like the pacing was particularly efficient, without rushing - no time wasted, here. The only drawback was (were?) the acoustics, despite the acoustic panels in the ceiling. The DJ was on the second level with two speakers, and it just didn't work. I'm not sure if that was the DJ's fault, the fault of the room, or both. Otherwise, an excellent space.

The Community Arts Center is tucked away down a local street, and I was concerned that I was lost--thankfully not the case. I had a great visit. The building feels like a living, breathing tribute to art. There are multiple floors for hosting classes and events. There is a kiln for firing pottery on site. Even the grounds are beautiful, with lots of art and sculptures resting around the walkways outside. The Tea Bowl Exhibition was very well done. I bought a ticket for a Japanese tea demonstration, which was really interesting and enjoyable. I thought I'd be at the Arts Center for an hour, but I stayed much longer to check everything out. If I lived closer, I'd definitely look into taking classes here. For now, I look forward to my next visit for an event or exhibition.

Got my hair did this morning. Nothing beats a $6 haircut. So this is my second experience with a…read morebeauty school and I was equally happy with the results with the hair. Just like the last cosmetology school I went to, make sure you have at least an hour to get a hair cut and dry- there will be NO rushing here since all major cuts and decisions need to be cleared with the trainers. This place is a little rough around the edges (cheap decor, a little gossipy...) but the cut and assistance of the master stylist was good. And again, $6 haircut and blow dry? Can't beat it with a stick. My hairdresser student Vanessa took her time, talked to me about what I was trying to do in the future with my hair and was chatty- but not overly so. The only thing that's a little bizarre to watch is that the students not working on human clients are busy completing scenarios on their dummy heads at their stations. Imagine a room full of 15 hair stylists all working on mannequin heads...and you're the only human. Kinda strange. But- it's a beauty school, that's what they're supposed to be doing- hair! Most important thing to know about the place- they ONLY take cash. After labor and deliver (I'm 37 weeks pregger with #Dos) perhaps I'll go back for another cut and color.
