I stepped in and saw the paint covered tables, a handful of artists working at easels and I had an internal content sigh. This is my speed! I circled the artwork twice and picked a gift for my son and chatted with a couple of the artist there, one even offered me a teaching gig when I said I used to teach painting classes! Too bad I live 2 1/2 hours away! I loved the energy here and they have some very talented artists and something for every taste- IMO. They even have smaller items like cards and magnets. Support your local artists! And if you're visiting- buy yourself a fabulous and memorable gift!

The price and value are great. Online registration is easy. I received notifications to remind me of the class prior to the date. Upon arrival, you sign in, grab the appropriate size gloves and sit in your assigned seat. Your box with all needed supplies is provided & ready for you. Bridget is positioned at the front of the class and there are monitors on each side that displays what she is doing. She gives step by step instructions, walks around to help assist and answers any questions asked. The instructions are easy and the art comes out unique and beautiful. Everything was so well organized. I loved the class! I highly recommend Bridget and her classes. You should sign up for one for yourself or with a group soon!

We toured the facilities, the workshops, we actually sat down for some demos from the visual arts department, and then gathered around a kiln for a raku ceramics demo, which was ideal on a cold winter afternoon (winter in Florida?). Also, we were able to visit the gallery, which was hosting a photograph exhibit on the history of turn of the century Lake Apopka, about 40 miles away due West, and that was very interesting and enlightening. We also printed a poster, among other things. Personally, I think it was fun to talk/meet some of the faculty, not that I am immediately looking for a new teacher, but it is good to pick one who has some similarities, or none at all. Challenge yourself. After this visit, I will consider taking some classes here. Or come to more events. I really like Crealdé.

I called today (9 days before the first day) and I was told that it was too late and the last day was Yesterday (10/09/23) (10 days before first session). I pointed out the policy and was told that "session" didn't mean class and it was incorrect so I couldn't get my money back. This is fraudulent. I will be contacting the correct state department for this. This is extremely unprofessional and clearly lacks clarity. If your policy is outdated, correct it on the website. I've attached the policy as a picture.

Wow! This is an incredibly eclectic place! An art studio by day, and a live music venue by night! I…read morehaven't done any art during the day, but what I have seen, both kids and adults are having a blast! I am a live music aficionado, so I come up for the live bands. First of all, you can tell that the owner, Brittany, put money, time, and effort into a first-class production- the stage, sound, and lighting are top quality! And the bands that they bring in are eclectic as well- a rock band one night, a jazz band another, an acoustic duo on another. This is also a bar with a great staff and a large selection of quality beers and wines to suit every palate. Apopka has long needed a great live event venue, and this place is better than anything I expected. Do you self a favor- stop by at night and see some great music. You won't regret it!

I called about 3 weeks in advance to book a private party in their small room. There were 12 of us (7 adults and 5 children). When I called to book I spoke with Anna who was super helpful in answering all of my questions. She was also our guide the day of the party. We were able to bring in our own food and drinks for the party. I will note that the party room does not have a ton of extra space if you have a larger party. There is a counter that can be used. Once our whole party arrived Anna gave instructions on what price point to stay within (pre arranged) and sent us off on our own to choose which ceramic we wanted. Then she instructed us to pick which colors we would like. You start with 4 and can add more as needed. Then we got to work. Our whole group was engaged in their project. We laughed and had a wonderful time. Once we were finished she collected our ceramics to store until they were put in the Kiln. The wait time was about 2 weeks. I would recommend for all ages and group sized.

Denise was extremely patient and helped cut each little part of the fish for me. I was very excited with how both of our stepping stones turned out! This is the perfect place for a fun day learning something new! Whether it is with friends, family, or a date night! Creating stepping stones was a more detailed process than I ever imagined. I am so glad we were able to learn from a professional. I felt like Denise truly gave us the knowledge we needed to continue pursuing this hobby if we wanted. She gave us a book she wrote about how to make stepping stones! I don't usually spend this much on a date. However the price was absolutely worth it after we experienced the process! There is a lot of supplies, time, and work that goes into this class. I highly suggest giving it a try! Denise also let us know about a bunch of other classes she offers! The possibilities seem endless and so full of potential.

Picking your project in advance is required so they can have all your stuff ready. The fine details like colors and stains are decided on the spot. Funny enough, 3 out of 7 of us chose the same project! It was the holiday card display board. But even when that happens, as you can see with my picture, they all turned out very different. The class was booked for three hours and we were indeed there for 3 hours. They sell alcoholic bevvies for $5 and had a great selection. They have multiple bathroom stalls there that are very clean. They have a sink in the back with special soap that takes off any paint you might get on your hands/ nails. The staining process you gotta be careful with and wear the gloves. And the sanding process please be careful. A friend got a huge splinter which was bleeding. They helped us clean it up and put a bandaid on it so she could keep creating. Employees were super helpful and easy to flag when you needed help. But they pretty much roamed around the whole time and jumped in to help workout needing to be called over. I was impressed. They took group photos for us and we left with our beautiful projects! We can't wait to come back. They have events for kids as well.
