It is all flat ground from there. Experience: this museum is FREE, which is awesome! You can leave a cash donation if you want to support the artists and museum. The exhibition I saw was on the fact that humans are destroying the planet, and it was interesting but definitely not kid friendly (this time). I think other times they have more kid friendly exhibits. I do recommend checking this place out! It's good to support local museums and keep them in business.

I recently came here for an event, where I was able to hear the artist speak about his work. It was…read morequite interesting hearing about the way he came about creating some of his pieces. I was super excited to then see his work after. Unfortunately, even though there were a few artist pieces to look at... none were of the artist I just heard speak. After asking about that I was told that the gallery of his work was closed that day, but I could check it out at specific times. Although it was nice to able to hear an artist speak about his work...it really would have tied it all in if we had been able to see the work after. I did however appreciate the other artist work that was there to view.

Both my daughters expressed interest in a ceramics class, including trying a pottery wheel. It is really hard to find a camp that can accommodate both ages. This was a perfect fit for my girls. Carla and her assistants were great at adjusting to each kid's skill level and learning aptitude. They were very encouraging to be creative and try new techniques. I was so surprised by how much they made and the new skills they learned. It was a wonderful experience, and both my girls can't wait for next time.

She was really flexible with my changing head count and just shared the minimum cost which was around $330. She had me choose what design I wanted to paint in advance too, which was easy! Review - I planned this for my birthday and I had such a fun time. Davina really walks you through the steps in an easy to understand way and shows you how to do each step on her own canvas. It was totally fun and doable for my friends who are not generally crafting people! The studio has great decorations and ambiance, Davina gave us glasses, glow in the dark hair clip, and a hat to take home with us. The final painting is so pretty and glows in the dark. Super recommend, especially for kids, families, friends. COVID - we didn't wear masks but you could wear masks. Davina shared she is vaxxed and boosted.

When I walked into the space, the man working greeted me quickly and said I could fill out a small paper choosing my favorite piece, and they do a 'best in show' every month, based on the votes. That painting will be featured and the artist gets a ribbon too. It made the experience interactive, which I really enjoyed. Can't wait to see who wins!
