    I'm just spitting out some poetry.
    J'hon W.

    I've stumbled upon the little gem in the desert. My first time was at a Tommy Castro & The Painkillers show, with Deanna Bogart. Fantastic experience, leading me to the open mic night... so many great performers making their impact known. I spoke some poetry, and will hope to provide some artwork for their rising artist's exhibit. If you can go, I advise it without question. They teach a slew of classes as well.

    This is our makeshift studio in our family room. We will share pictures once glazed. We will give out the master pieces at Thanksgiving

    My birthday was November and I wanted to host a ceramic painting party for my family. We also wanted our grandson to gain experience painting and making ceramics. We arrived late Saturday with the hope that we could bring a kit home with an art supply kit. The staff was wonderful! Helpful! Inviting and encouraging, we got lost following the GPS. So call for directions. We were very impressed with the studio. We plan to host more parties in the future.

    For my 60th birthday at the beginning of April, I had my family of 8 adults and 2 little ones. I racked my brain to come up with an event that would engage everyone and called the studio. Because of Covid we couldn't all fit but they suggested I bring home the art box. It was filled with paint, brushes and everything we needed. We picked out 10 coffee cups and everyone picked what they wanted. I also ordered (cheap from Amazon) black aprons and plastic drop clothes. We sat around the dining room table and painted for three hours. It was awesome to have the ability to talk, eat and use the bathroom. Everyone had a great time and our cups look fantastic. I highly recommend this event for family or friends.

    Old Town Artisan Studios "Leland Gallery" showing art by "BigMike" called Palm "Springs Love Story Abstracts

    Old Town La Quinta Artisan Studios is an amazing art experience. I discovered last weekend. They now are showing in their "Leland Art Gallery" "Palm Springs Love Story Abstracts" by "Big Mike" that are incredible. From 3-5 each day you can meet the artist, view his work, and even explore the possibility of him creating a special piece of art for you. The ceramic pieces of art that surround his work are truly one of kind. You can make an appointment to meet with Mike which I like since I wanted to bring my husband back to see his work. This artisan village is peaceful, offers classes that I want to try and even has a great gift shop. I am so glad I found this place after going to the Old Town farmers market. I think the classes would be great fun for groups of family , friends or even a bachlorette party.

    Super fun outing for bachelorette party! We had group of 5 women and I really wanted to do something different than the usual (but still fun) paint and wine classes that are popular. I called up spoke to Kristi who was a sweetheart helping me figure out a class that would work for us. We ended up choosing glass fusion class, and it was about $40 per girl. 4 of us made pendants for necklaces and one made a magnet (she will clue magnet on later). We had so much fun considering it was something new and exciting and haven't done it before. Our instructor was nice guy, sorry don't remember his name as this was end of September. The ladies working reception and booking were lovely! ALSO: they have a beautiful patio under trees where you can bring your own wine and nibbles to sit out and enjoy the afternoon. They have a fridge to hold stuff for you. FANTASTIC OUTING! Thank you so much!!

    My First Review... and boy is it long! ..... Ready? This review is based on two different classes/instructors. (1) The most recent class I tried was a private Glass Infused Class, taught by Stephen. I was inspired to book a session with him, after a friend of mine showed me, one of the stunning glass pieces she created in his class. So off we went, thirteen girlfriends and myself, venturing out to a different kind of ladies night out. Despite all the distractions that can be expected in a room filled with women, Stephen was able to keep us focused and guided each and every one of us, in completing our pieces. The moments in which we found ourselves frustrated, Stephen would dive in and help us out. We were fortunate to also have Stefania stay & help out for a bit. She helped many of us, who let's just say are not artistically inclined. Having an artist eyes such as both of the instructors made the process of creating much easier for all of us. Stephen, met & exceeded all of our requests... and believe me we had several (hearts please.) That being said, we were all happy with our creations (pendants, rings, soap dishes, key chains, etc) and I can't wait to see the final outcome of our pieces! ----------------------------------------------------- (2) The first class that started it all for me, was the Beginners Ceramic Class, taught by Stefania. I absolutely loved the beginners ceramic class! I was amazed at what I was able to create in such a short period of time. When I say 'short period of time,' I mean within ONE DAY! ;) Stefania has such a calm, nurturing spirit about her. She took her time to guide us through all stages of the lesson at hand. I truly enjoyed her class and meeting the rest of her well seasoned students who are all just as kind and sweet as she is. No matter what class you take, you will walk out with a smile. ;) --------------------------------------------------- Overall Opinion Of The Studio I honestly feel what makes this studio, so incredible, are the teachers. They take their craft seriously and they truly want you to be able to gain knowledge in the creative process. Despite seeing them juggle a million and one things, they are always beyond patient, kind and understanding. I really don't know how they do it. A special thank you, goes out to Stephen & Stefania. I learned so much from the both of you. The studio and students are lucky to have true artists such as yourselves. The both of you, truly have a wealth of knowledge to share and you're each a valuable, resourceful gift to the community. ----------------------------------------------------- Suggestions for the Studio (A) The teachers/instructors, definitely need an assistant or more staff. I always see them running around multi tasking. By ensuring the instructors/teachers are well staffed, they will be able to fully focus on the students. By doing so, I feel the students would get so much more out of the classes. This is especially true for groups of eight and up. *** I would hate to see such skilled artists/teachers burn out, for they are what makes the studio come alive. (B) I would love to see the studio offer an Adult Sculpture class in the evening. I would sooooo love to take this class. However, like most individuals I work during the day, which means I can't experience the 1-3pm class. As soon as you open up an evening class, I will sign up in a heart beat!

    We did the fused glass ornament class with Bill and it was great! He was so patient with the class and many of us had no experience in working with glass. It was a lot of hands-on fun! Can't wait to pick them up!

    A great place to go for an art experience. It is pretty to sit outside under the shade besides the fountain.

If you are like me and prefer one-of-a-kind service ware, make your way up the mountain and peruse their offerings. I got this neat garlic grater that is so beautiful just grate the Garlic and then pour the olive oil into the same dish Voilà your good to go! They also offer pottery classes here as well.

Ms. Gretchen has a beautiful way of letting him be him, fully. My son is level 1 autistic, plus very shy at times because of lack of socialization due to a rare disease that keeps him in the house a lot. But when with Ms. Gretchen, none of behaviors are challenging, none of his behaviors need to be adapted - she is so loving and accepting in a way that allows him to feel cared for amd safe. To love and care from a distance in the way that she does is such a strong quiet power and we are grateful to know and to have the opportunity to continue returning to 29 Palms Creative Center. Also, the entire place is a gorgeous adventure. I find something new and delightful to look at every time we go. Forever grateful
