I was impressed with such a large selection to chose from , the possibilities were endless . Too bad my wallet wasn't endless , the prices were a bit steep . I settled on a coffee mug wall art piece . The girls all picked animal figurines , my friend Heather just watched and assisted her girls with getting paint . The women who was working wasn't super charismatic, but admittedly, she had a full house that afternoon with no help . I was impressed on how nice our pieces turned out , the young ladies loved them too . It's not an activity I can afford to do all the time , but it was fun getting my creative juices flowing .

The cost for the 8 lessons are $175, very reasonable for the 2-hour lesson each week. It covers basic drWing techniques on the first 4 lessons, then we get to practice for the next 4 lessons. If you are looking for some ME time, this is highly recommended. I look forward to the class each week. They also have other types of art classes, such as ceramics, acrylic, oil, etc. Parking is on street or in the lot across.

The studio space is tidy, small but efficient for 8-10 people, with a section for potter's wheels,…read morea slop sink, storage shelving, a separate room for the kilns, and two butcher block work areas for slab creations or glazing. I was given classes at ArtYard as a gift several times, and each time by the end of the session, I vowed not to return. Have you ever experienced waiting in line somewhere while the associate chit chats with others, like you're not even there? You might have a question, but you're stuck, waiting, until they're good and ready to address you? And your inquiry is even brief, but you must wait? This is what it feels like taking a "class" at ArtYard - it's really more like you're renting the studio space for six weeks, which if you had acquired the necessary skills would be fine. I expected an attentive teacher walking around offering encouragement, tips and advice to students, and rooting them on, like the substitute that was there once, he was amazing! However, you must simply wait for a break in the conversation, say please, and not chew gum in class if you'd like help. Or to keep from idling, ask another student for help. One can be talented at what they do, but not have the heart of a teacher. (And yes, I understand that there is a certain amount of trial and error to creating art such as pottery: figuring things out, making your own mistakes, trying, trying again. I get that. I am a designer for a living.) Contacting the instructor - via phone, email or text - was unpredictable, you may or may not get a response. Sadly, I got to the point where I could take "the attitude" no longer: frustrated, upset, and humiliated, I walked out of the second class, and didn't return. And no one with the heart of a teacher would allow that to go unnoticed. But they did.

You'd think the art would reflect that in some way, but I couldn't tell! A lot of the works on display are something that I could only dream of creating. The space is very open and inviting.

The result is a truly energized, positive, and uplifting space where imaginations are unleashed. The gallery hosts a wide variety of solo/group art shows throughout the year, featuring work by both Starlight artists and other local painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramicists, and more. Most include live music, food trucks, and some snacks. The quality of the artwork is always outstanding. And supporting the studio's efforts with a purchase (always very reasonably priced) is a double-plus good--you get great art for your home; the studio gets to keep supporting and training these wonderful artists. If you need a serious feel-good, pick-me-up, head to Starlight. I always feel lighter, happier, and more inspired after a visit.

My husband and I attended one of Jessica's events at Applebee's!…read more It was AWESOME! I was impressed with her ability to orchestrate the group despite everyone working on their own individual projects! She offers so many different options at each class--it was a truly unique (and refreshing!!) paint night experience! I have been to several Paint Night-styled events and typically everyone follows instructions to create ONE canvas painting. Jessica's events stand out because the participants choose from several designs to paint on a wide variety of materials --allowing people to pick and choose what suits them, and at the level they feel comfortable creating at! This concept is genius, really... I chose to paint a sunflower piece on canvas with acrylic paint, while my husband chose to paint an Alice In Wonderland themed set of pint glasses. If you know us, you know that these two themes are absolutely PERFECT for us--I couldn't have planned it better myself, actually! The people behind us were painting a set of wine glasses, and several others were working on three other designs on canvas! She offers a faux stained glass option too, but I haven't experienced that yet! The hubs likes to attend paint night (for the drinks and girl chat hahah) but he is a self-proclaimed NON Artist. It was so great to have the pint glass option for him.... it was a simple design that kept him occupied almost the entire time it took me to rock out the sunflowers on the canvas. Her class method truly allowed us to "Paint with (our own) Personality!" And even though there were a ton of people, with a ton of different skill levels, working on a ton of different designs...somehow, she kept the orderly chaos moving along...and EVERYone ended up with a masterpiece at the end! I have liked her page on facebook where she shares info about upcoming projects and classes...There are some pretty awesome winter-inspired designs coming up (specifically the one with the toppling snowmen!! haha).... and I can't wait to attend another class and try the faux stained glass option! I am planning an open house soon and am thinking of having her come to do a craft night with some of my guests! Super cool idea for team building and mingling! Thanks, Jessica... for changing up the game a little...and helping us to Paint with Personality! ;)

I found so many things I want to have hanging on a wall, on a shelf or just for decorating. This place has it all. The mother and daughter duo who own this shop are so knowledgeable about their plants that I almost bought one. They also host several events here, all of which sound fun. I ended up getting some Buffalo themed gifts for some family and a little wooden buffalo for my desk. This place is awesome and they have me asking myself, do I need to come back and order a custom table? The jury is still out on that one but I will definitely be back for more gifts and maybe some plants soon.
