I LOVE THIS PLACE. As a DIY enthusiast but also a bad crafter and a working parent with absolutely…read morezero extra time on my hands, Projects in Person is a dream. First off, Jill is a goddess. She has super fun energy, is intensely creative and inspired, and - like any good mom and small business owner - rolls with the punches like nobody's business. The selection of projects PIP offers is great - from smaller accent/decor pieces to larger furniture and yard items - meaning they have the right project for any audience. And the whole concept is brilliant! They do the hard part of ideating, planning, measuring, cutting, prepping, and cleanup. You just show up to use some fun power tools and walk out with a stunning custom addition to your home or yard!! And as an activity, this is as multi-functional as it gets. Girl's night out? Yes. Self care solo adventure? Totally. Date night? Already scheduled (we'll be making clocks!). Next time I need to plan a team building experience for work? Donezo. You can also hire them to do private workshops, and they've recently expanded their offerings to include an on-site option where they come to you. Brilliant. I've done two projects with PIP in the last year, and have another on the books for next month. I could continue to wax poetic about how great this place is, but instead I'll just encourage you to check it out yourself. Seriously. Like now.

The Minneapolis Community Ed. program is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) program in the…read morecountry. They've had 40 years to work the kinks out, and it shows. The huge catalog has brief descriptions of the classes and you can find out about the teachers online. Like Jillian C. says, they have everything: sushi rolling demonstrations, ashtanga yoga, money-management, kids programs, watercolor painting and Facebook lessons (Dad would benefit). Years of school have conditioned me into thinking that September is the start of the year, even now, quite a few years after graduation. Point is, I make my "resolutions" in September. Last year I resolved to learn to play the guitar and speak French. I did both for less than $100 with Community Ed.! [cue infomercial] I highly recommend Beginning Guitar with Chris. For less than $40, I had ten practically one-one-one lessons with a great teacher. He even gave us an extra week! When the class was over, I was able to keep practicing using his packet and handouts fairly easily. I wouldn't say my French 1 class was as impressive because the teacher didn't get too creative. I didn't get a lot out of doing flashcards over and over and over again.

My love affair with Community Ed in the fine city of Minneapolis has only just begun. They offer…read moreeverything imaginable including art classes, fitness classes, how to make homemade soap, cooking, vegan cooking, how to manage your finances, how to operate a computer, foreign languages, writing, how to grow an herb garden in your kitchen...and so forth. Some classes are 8 weeks long, some are three hours in one evening. Take your pick! There truly is something for everyone. I've taken beginner Pilates and French 1 and can only say that I have been very, very pleasantly surprised. 8 weeks of French for less than $70 - &)#%!?!? (Oh, and 8 weeks of Pilates for $35, in case you were curious). I was worried that I would be getting what I paid for but was sorely mistaken. If you can deal with taking notes and not having a text book (who cracks them anyway?) the quality of the class so much more than makes up for the lack of supplies and materials. The instructors are fantastic and the class sizes small. To think I considered spending $400 on a French class somewhere else... Pilates is fantastic as well, and I've only heard good things about other yoga or dance classes. The spring catalogue is online now!

Ahhh this place makes me want to have kids JUST to be able to send them here!…read more Leonardo's Basement is a crazy amazing workspace with after school programs and summer classes for kids (mostly, some for adults too). It's pretty much a hands on learning space where children get to explore the extents of their creativity! Walking in you feel like you've stumbled into your crazy inventor uncle's basement: filled to the brim with contraptions the students and staff have built, the tools for building, and all the junk you'd need to build more contraptions. They have classes for every kind of interest, from building functioning robots to learning how to fix a bike, to making costumes, to cooking. They take things that children only dream of (like building a giant maze out of 30+ cardboard refrigerator boxes) and turn them into realities. They have such a variety of classes that you just have to check out the schedule to figure out the specifics. If I had to summarize it in one sentence it would be: This is a place that focuses on the joys of creating through building, experimenting, and learning how to take ideas out of your brain, put them on paper, and then make them physical objects. For the grown-ups they also offer some classes on making things, through the affiliated Studio Bricolage (linked on their website). We were told to check this place out by many members of the design/tinker community here and after seeing it for myself this afternoon I'm really happy to know a place like this exists.
