Everyone has been incredibly supportive, accommodating, & communicative every step of the way! I appreciate that their teaching focuses on child-led learning via play, art (a moment of praise for their art cove!), music, the outdoors, & all within a supportive structure of community. My kids have thrived here, my oldest even formed strong bonds of friendship that have carried with him into Kindergarten. Allison & the entire staff are clearly very knowledgeable in all elements of childhood education & their dedication to our island kids & community is unmatched! My kids growth & their genuine excitement when, "It's a school day!" is so special! Thank you Hope Harbor!

This facility is a great option for anyone visiting Victoria who needs to work on their strength training while on vacation. They have several Life Fitness machines, including pectoral fly/rear deltoid. They also have some older machines from a brand I have never heard of before called Keiser, which turned out to be an American brand based in Fresno, California. The Keiser machines are strange because they have thumb controls to manipulate a pneumatic system which controls resistance, rather than the traditional system of sticking a pin into a weight stack. But once you figure out how to use them, they're okay.

So what now?.. Long live the home and the computer

The teachers were extremely knowledgeable and well connected in the film industry; most importantly though is that they were friendly! While at PDA, I filmed two short documentaries, two short films, and multiple short art peices, participated in every part of production (Cinematographer, Sound, Director, etc.), and seriously had fun all the while. Now I work in Vancouver and I'm having the time of my life! Highly recommend to anyone interested! Cheers!

The teachers are highly-skilled and extremely knowledgeable, the director great, and the staff always friendly and helpful. The small classes provided quality personal attention to every student, and the pleasant atmosphere and historic building made it a pleasure to come in every day. (Our son always wanted to show up a half-hour or even an hour early.) He studied hands-on with working professionals in the film industry, learned the full spectrum of skills in all areas of filmmaking, was taught the business of filmmaking and professional attitude, and was introduced to networking in the Vancouver and Victoria film industry. Through it all, he had a rollicking good time! When he graduated with his certificate at the end of the year, it was hard to say good-bye. We can't recommend this school highly enough. Everyone serious about the arts should have the good luck to take courses here.

I first met Raimie when he changed my life as a potter during a 1 on 1 coaching session at his…read morestudio in Quadra Villiage in Victoria. I was really frustrated learning how to centre but after a few hours under Raimie's instruction and coaching everything started to make sense. I spend 6 months of the year in Victoria and immediately signed up for their beginner program for the potter's wheel which I am thoroughly enjoying. I recently attended the "Make a Mug Night" where we learned hand building skills to create a mug. It was amazing to see that after 2 hours everyone created something to be proud of. I've been so impressed at how organized and friendly the studio is with instructors and members keen on sharing their skills. I have learned more than expected in the short time and look forward to signing up for more programs during my time in Victoria. Thank you to Raimie and his team at Hands on Pottery for great instruction a fun place to hang out and keeping a new potter's dream alive.
