So looking forward to our first pottery class, building painted artistically by local students. It is a gem!

I purchased a Groupon to do a 2-person class. Throwing pottery was on my bucket list and I'm…read moregrateful to have had an instructor like Tracey. She explained each step and broke down to a level of detail so that I could make my pieces practically independently. She did jump in to help when I needed. The first session consisted of kneading the clay and then throwing it and creating our two pieces. Visit 2 was the glazing. And finally visit 3 was pickup! I'm shocked that we were able to create our pieces, and bonus - they're dishwasher-safe! If you're throwing around the idea of doing a class like this, I definitely recommend Tracey!

This was such a fun time! I took my nieces and mom there for a family activity. We all enjoyed…read morecreating our holiday paintings with a grinch theme. Upon reserving online, we selected which sketches we wanted. I believe there were a total of 6 sketches you could choose from. Plus, you could add on candle making but you would have to arrive 30 minutes earlier to get started on that. The host was able to give some tips and instructions along the way which helped with our individual paintings. Also, you could bring your own snacks to enjoy while painting and having fun with your family or friends. This was such a nice experience and I would highly recommend it!

All my other visits to this business have been 5 stars. Today was a flop, probably 2 stars. I know…read moreit's a holiday weekend and maybe the teacher had plans she was in a hurry to get to, but then maybe she should have taken the day off. We were very rushed the entire time and it did not feel like she wanted to be there. I asked for help and did not really receive the advice I needed. It was very disappointing all around and I came last minute as a distraction from some real life issues going on. I would have left the canvas behind but I know they will just reuse it for a sample canvas and I didn't feel like benefiting them that way. Just bummed out as this is a place I've always enjoyed in the past and now I'm out $40.

Once the instructors got us started they proceeded to take down the Christmas decorations and then went off to work on their computers. If you needed help, you needed to seek them out. For what the class cost, one would think there would be more instruction. Space was at a premium as well. Thank goodness the class wasn't sold out. That would have been an issue. Not sure if I'll go back

I love AR Workshop. I've done multiple workshops for wood, canvas and blanket projects. I am a…read morecrafty person and I love the level of involvement we get to use, like building frames on the pictures and sanding and staining. I really love their options for projects and no matter who I take with me, even the most reluctant and unskilled crafter, the projects come out really polished and good looking. Staff is there to help when you need it or if you are good on your own, you can really just tune in and work and make some cool art. Great for making holiday gifts and a great spot for a ladies night out.

Totally affordable, super convenient location and flexible session times. Plus Deana Lucille is completely plugged in to the local school programs so she knows what her students are focusing on in their music classes.

First of all, the website is easy to use, and has everything you need. The school itself, the…read moreWestern Campus, is all on one huge piece of land in a big building, and so everything is right there for you to access. It also gives the student a sense of belonging to a group. I appreciate the friendly people, and every single person I have met has been helpful. A lot of folks here will go out of their way to help you out. I think the school was professional from day one. My classes are normal, and the technology side of things is good. They have a ton of computers for you to use. One thing I have especially enjoyed is the library. It is not huge, but they have a choice selection of books. And Ohio LInk allows you to search for materials, to include films, from all over Ohio, and they get to you fast. I have loved this about my school, and it is better than the sketchy film school I went to in San Francisco called Academy of Art University. I was not happy about the weak academics and lack of professionalism there. The choice of films here at this community college is better than what was available to me at AAU. This Community College has a positive feeling to it, and so I am glad to be here. My classes are in the IT field, and I think they really know what they are talking about. The Veteran's Affairs Office here is very good too.

As a woman I was a little worried about finding a class that would help me learn to shoot and get…read morecomfortable with a firearm without being completely intimidated. My brother suggested Civilian Defense Academy and I have been thrilled with them. In February I started with the Learn to Shoot class and absolutely loved it. They keep the classes small and only work with a few people at a time during the range portion. That was fantastic because James was right there to watch everything I was doing as I was loading and shooting the various firearms he provided for practice. He was there to answer all of my questions and offer suggestions on improving my form and accuracy. Yesterday I attended the Concealed Carry course to get my license. James and Bruce are very knowledgeable and put everyone at ease right from the beginning. They make it fun and really interesting while still being very professional and making sure to stress the importance of safety - for you and everyone around you. The idea of sitting in a 10 hour class about firearm safety, mechanics, use, ammunition, maintenance and legal responsibilities sounded a little daunting but I had a great time. They made it so interesting that it seemed to take no time at all. Even the seasoned hunters in the class said they learned a lot and everyone in the class seemed to really enjoy themselves. I would not hesitate to recommend CDA to ANYONE looking to get their Concealed Carry License or simply looking to get comfortable with using a firearm. I feel much safer and more confident moving forward having taken these courses.

As a previous reviewer I will keep this short. I am still very impressed!…read more I just completed their CCW class yesterday and could not be more pleased. Both James and Bruce are very knowledgeable and make your learning experience priority one while still keeping it fun. Nice, small class size. It seriously was the fastest 10 hour class ever! We were not done until we finished the written test and everyone was confident in what they learned. I will continue to suggest Civilian Defense Academy for CCW training as well as beginner shooting instruction!

Hathaway Brown School for girls is a very well educated, sustained, and finical school. Except when…read moreit comes to lunch seats. My daughter is an 8th grader this year at Hathaway Brown middle school and she has been telling me how at lunch her and her eight friends want to sit together. So they have been sitting at two connected tables that equal eight seats for each girl (apparently this table has always been like this). But suddenly they've been noticing that the other half of there table keeps getting moved to be apart of another half table, so they keep having to move the other half table back and forth every lunch day just so they can sit together. (They can't switch to another table because all of them are taken up by different grades/people). So one day my daughters friend is moving the other half of the table like usual and then out of no where apparently a teacher comes screaming at her to not move the table and that nobody can move tables anymore. So now there is only room for six girls at the table so they decide to grab two more chairs to squeeze into the table to include there two friends, that is very nice. But the same teacher comes out and starts screaming at the same girl again about how they cannot move chairs at all. Why does it matter so much? My daughter said that the teacher said that it's ok the six girls will sit at a table and the other two will sit at a table alone be cause they need to engage with other kids an snake new friends. I'm sorry but that is excluding two girls from the rest of there friend group and that's also breaking apart a strong friendship with the girls. It's the 8th grade everybody has there groups by now and they know who they like and don't like, and if they don't have that then there is definitely something wrong with your kid. Hathaway Brown School is a good school but they are just so weird about the whole friend thing, don't send your kids here if you don't like this.

Excellent extra curricular activities. Just realize that you're sending your daughter to a school…read morethat will put her under extreme pressure. If you have a bright child who needs motivation, it's probably OK. But if you have an average child who is a hard worker or, heaven forbid, and under-performing child, this will be an extremely stressful environment for your her. My daughter has some special challenges to learning which were made extremely clear before we enrolled her. With the cost of the school (close to or exceeding tuition for an undergraduate degree each year) I was genuinely shocked that Hathaway Brown's first solution was to ask us for more money for a private tutor within a month ! If you have a child with additional needs, do not go to the school. I do believe that the teachers genuinely care about the students, other than one of the female math teachers who is basically a bully. Summary statement: if you're the kind of parent who has to ensure your child has every advantage to get into an Ivy League school at any cost, send her to HB. Just realize that the school caters to superstars. And if your daughter is not one of them, she will be made to feel pretty bad about herself and placed under extreme pressure until you unenroll her or comply with paying for multiple extracurricular tutors.
