I would recommend following their Instagram or sign up for their email newsletters to get first notification of when enrollments start. I've learned so much so far - especially with Mac as our teacher Honestly such a fun studio, I look forward to coming here after work all the time. :)

I am taking another class here, so I feel like I should update again. I haven't been back to open…read morestudio, but the place seems more inviting now than it was before. I haven't seen any issues with the amount of clay that is available, and my teacher has been more than willing to mix up what I need. Edit 4/22/2014 I went to open studio this weekend. The monitor was super helpful, but there was no space to do anything and my stuff was moved multiple times by co-op members... I understand that there is a show next weekend, but maybe open studio time should be geared more toward accommodating the people that are paying to be there and less on the co-op members pushing you out of the way to get their stuff done on time... I hate to say this, 1. because I know I will go back there and I really do not mean to offend anyone... I am just giving my opinion and 2. because all of the classes I have taken there have been amazing. However, I keep having not great experiences at open studio. That being said, I have had some open studio's that were great... but not nearly as many as were bad.

I am kicking myself because this last weekend was my most recent visit to this place in maybe 12…read moreyears. Why did I not return more often!?!? Anyways, the visit was filled with visual wonders for the mind and soul. Each piece was truly unique and remarkable in so many ways. Most disciplines of art were represented with shining examples of each. The current exhibition features several highly skilled local Pittsburgh artists. The gallery features art, but also sometimes hosts music shows, which I was happy to be a part of in the past. You will get a plethora of information from the owner if you inquire about the works, artists, or anything and everything. If you love creative works and you are in the Pittsburgh area you have got to go to this marvelous gallery!

The center is named after Irma Freeman, a painter born in Germany but later emigrated to the United States due to the increasing Nazi threat. Her paintings are vibrant splashes of color and light that dazzle the viewer. Whether you attend a Yoga or art class here, it's an inviting and welcoming space that will expand your horizons and encourage your creativity.

My son has been at this daycare for a few months now and we love it…read more The staff is welcoming and makes you and more importantly your child feel at home. Our son was nervous for us to leave him at first and a staff member set down her own child to pick him up and tell him it would be okay. This same staff member stops whatever she is doing every morning to say good morning to our son. The staff is huge on communication. When I emailed the director with an initial question, she immediately looped in his classroom teacher and pushed for us to communicate, rather than her being a third party. I have always received very quick responses. We were pulled into a parent teacher conference within a month of starting here. The teacher then had us all complete an assessment and we used this as a guide to have another conference and make sure we were all aware of how our son is acting and responding in different environments. Since leaving his previous daycare where he was having daily accidents with potty training, he has had 3 accidents in 2 months. The daily routine is very structured and the kids never have lengthy periods of time where they are left to their own devices. The teachers are all knowledgable in child development and amazing at what they do. You can feel their passion for their careers when you walk in the door. My son is always excited to tell me about his day when I pick him up. Overall, I would highly recommend this childcare facility to anyone!

I have visited this gym twice now when visiting my parents who live nearby in Pittsburgh. It takes…read morea while to get checked in when you visit for the first time. I filled out the paperwork and then the person working typed out all my info into the computer. It is $10 to visit with a member. Since they already had my info from last time, it was much quicker to check in. There are lockers available and clean bathrooms. I didn't go in the showers, but noticed they have them. The gym itself is nice! I loved the treadmills. All of the equipment is new and clean. They also offer classes in the main basketball court part of the gym. I saw people doing pilates on my first visit, and indoor pickleball this most recent visit. There is also a small track on the second floor that overlooks the gym for people to walk. There are plenty of tables and chairs and a small cafe. I wonder if WFH people work here? I would. Nice, clean, and comfortable. And affordable! This would cost WAY more to visit where I live in Austin, TX. I recommend this community center!

This was my very first time inside of the center. I attended a book/author conference, and found…read morethe space to be accommodating for a decent size event. You can rent the facility completely and have 2 different areas. For example, one for event and the other you can use for dining.

I'm going to be honest, I had no idea that this place existed. The only reason I ended up here was…read morebecause my coworker was having a surprise birthday party for his mother. Not knowing my way around this neighborhood I was surprised by this asset hidden in plain sight. This is a place that every neighborhood could use and should have. It is a multiuse facility that could be used for anything from birthday parties to conferences. Ample space can be found inside with amenities you can use if need be. The inside is interestingly decorated. There is art everywhere. Talk about being a cultural gathering place, which this place is. Pictures hang just about everywhere, whether they are paintings or photographs. I have to say that if you wanted to escape the room you are in you could definitely distract yourself with all that is in here. Parking is available inside the fenced area or on the street. I suggest trying the street as the parking lot is a bit cramped at the moment, but a good thing to have. As for the name of the place, it is a fitting memorial to a young man that met a tragic end.
