On the drive up we followed the written directions provided by Orbix rather than the GPS. Once we arrived we were greeted quickly, provided instructions on how to pick colors (and advice for those of us who couldn't decide on which color combo we wanted to use for our ornament), joined our private class (which was super cool) with lots of time to tell us about what we were going to be doing / patience, each made our own ornament and then we were able to have it shipped back to us within a week after it cooled down. It was a seamless experience. We want to sign up for either the flower class or the tumbler class next time.

Twenty minutes from many places you might be, and even closer to the various scenic canyon spots, it's a delightful change from that other beautiful scenery nearby. Surpassing the art, and the views, is the exceptionally wonderfully amazingly superbly happily nice owners and staff at Orbix. We wandered in from the cold on a December weekday and soon were ushered into the warm (890-degree) crafting space. The time spent was educational and fun. With events ranging from the extremely popular "blow your own ornament" (reservations fill like it's Talladega) to multiple 1-4 hour classes and group studio tours, you'll have more reasons than the fabulous artwork to visit. During your visit, make sure to look out for Odie, who really runs the place. You'll get extra points for giving some dog-belly scratches, so plan an extra half-hour for that. Those Alabama and Auburn fans and their loved loved ones will enjoy many team-themed items from which to choose. One team sells more; I'll never tell which. And just because you can't decide what all to take back with you during the visit, or you find you can't live without another piece once you get it back home, hit up their online store for all the choices. We'll be checking out the e-commerce options ourselves, while looking forward to our return trip to Orbix.

Stumbled across the arts center and they had tons of different artists represented, with beautiful pottery and paintings.
