After I finished my practice pace, I made a stained glass Christmas box with a ribbon on it. Photo below! Her studio is in her basement; it is very well appointed with high ceilings and all the safety equipment that you need for working with glass. Her classes are small, so everyone gets individual attention and support! My granddaughter (age 28) had been there before; she designed and made her own 10"panel with over 20 pieces of glass! The first picture shows the two pieces that I made, the second one is my granddaughter's. 10 out of 10 I would highly recommend Liz and the Glass Patch. If this 77-year-old grandmother can do it, so can you! It was a terrific experience!

This was my very first time doing this, and instructor Tracee Ellis was absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!! She taught 8 of us, some first-timers, others had some experience, but she made getting messy a dream come true for me. I'm so glad my daughter in law gifted me this experience as a Christmas gift last year. The classes fill up super quick, but man, was this truly worth the wait!!!! Thank you, Yellow Door Ceramic Studio and Tracee Ellis, for an incredible way to end the work week and begin the weekend. #potteryrocks

When making the reservation it will ask you for your design and who you want to be seated by. They'll have your board and the stencil ready for you.

I would highly recommend and will likely be back to make my Spring sign! Thank you B&B!

It was definitely different than 25 years ago. I decided to try a new hobby every month in 2026. I'm so glad that I tried it. I was getting stressed because I couldn't get my bowl just right but the instructor was so helpful and got me together. The studio tour was also nice. Make sure to check them out if you're in the Fountain Square area. I can't wait to see the final product. I went solo but there were couples there. I didn't feel awkward going by myself. Everyone was super friendly. The 3rd bowl was an extra $5.

We signed up for the beginners night class from 7-9PM. It was $45 a person which included 2 of 3 pieces you make. I'm not gonna lie, we were both pretty nervous. Neither of us had ever taken a pottery class and we knew we were going to be bad at it. Turns out, we were pretty good!! And all 3 pots were suitable for glazing. The first 45 minutes to an hour is a guided instruction, then the last hour we are free to throw our other 2 balls of clay with the help of the instructor whenever we needed her. I believe her name was Katie and she was great! Funny, nice, and always willing to help. This is such a fun way to spend an evening. Makes for a good date night or I could see a bachelorette party too. Highly recommend this unique experience.

Quite unstructured. I prefer concise instructions. Such as: First get your seat, then pick out your hat, then pick out your design, trace it, transfer to hat, burn it, lastly pick out embellishments. Eventually we figured it out and the instructors did come to the various tables and helped us individually with our projects. Offered help and suggestions. Greatly appreciated. Also a lot of choices were made available for hats, designs as well as embellishments. It was really hard to choose from all of it. I think my hat turned out pretty good for a first try. They also offer many other classes such as candle making, painting, knitting and so on.

I must say we were a bit intimidated by the options and inability to know what the final product would smell like.

Art With a Heart is a non-profit with a mission to provide hands-on visual arts experience to educate and inspire at-risk children. My experience began when I signed my daughter up for Re-Generation Indy, a group of local artists that lead affordable art workshops and host Youth Art Shows around Indianapolis, using this space. For only $5, your child can spend a couple of hours getting creative and expanding their mind through with others. A Youth Art Show is scheduled on March 4th to highlight work done by participants in the program. I'm excited to see all of the wonderful ideas and jumped in myself to draw with the rest of the class. Donations accepted! More info on their website: http://www.regenerationindy.com/

It was around 2004-2005. My oldest daughter was 4 and had just completed summer camp at Holy Angels…read moreCatholic school. We were roaming around the school thanking the teachers, learning about what the students accomplished during the summer and looking at art work when we were approached by a man. He asked if Gylani (my little 4 year old at that time) would like to continue her art program and that the art class she had during camp actually offered honors Saturday classes. I looked at her dad...we shrugged and signed her up...that was 2004-2005.... Gylani is now 14 and a starting freshman at North Central...and she is also a honors student at Art With a Heart. The knowledgeable caring teachers, the ability to work with different mediums of art, field trips and the family atmosphere has kept our family in the Art with a Heart Program. This not very well known program, this gem, deserves your support and if you know a child, especially one from a low-income household that loves art but doesn't have the resources to attend expensive costly classes, this is the organization for that child. The child will grow, be nurtured, be inspired and be taught how to be confident in their skills.

To be honest, I only briefly surveyed the course offerings, but it showed variety and prices seemed reasonable. As much as I enjoy other people's art, I also enjoy making it myself :)
