Even though he teaches realism, he emphasizes on being your self. He tells you to feel your art and to not copy but rather interpret it through your own view. He is opinionated and has a strong point of view and that is great because most artists now in days would rather just go with the flow out of fear of not being liked. His wife is also an instructor and super nice.

I had never taken a pottery class and was so excited to learn the ropes. There are 10 wheels here, so our group of 10 was able to arrive a little early, drink wine and eat some snacks we brought before learning the ropes of ceramics. Victor was our instructor and he was amazing! He first did a demonstration on how to work with the clay and start to make your piece. Then he helped us to create our own pieces. We got to make 3 different things. One item is included in your class price and you can purchase the other 2 for just $8 each. It's a hands on experience but so awesome to learn a new skill and get to be able to take your creation home. I will definitely look into more classes as I truly enjoyed my experience with the class.

First of all, I want to say that I'm giving this place two stars and not one because it is a…read morenonprofit and I respect that they offer low cost art classes. However, I don't appreciate the way I was treated here and I was not satisfied with the instruction I received. 1) There was a bad storm one day and my teacher called me to tell me that class was canceled. Later, the owner blamed the missed class on me and said that because "I" didn't show up then I couldn't make the class up or get a refund. Eventually, she told me that I could make it up, which is fine. But I didn't appreciate being told that I was at fault for missing the class when my teacher was the one who canceled it. 2) My teacher was impossible to contact. He didn't have a cell phone and then blamed students for not contacting him. 3) My teacher was a nice guy but I could barely understand him and he could barely understand me. He would get frustrated with me for not understanding his English. I am from the Miami area and should speak Spanish but unfortunately I don't. It doesn't matter though because this place is supposed to be bilingual. 3) My teacher never really taught me how to draw, and as early as the first class he had me doing pastels. I felt like I never really got any real instruction. A lot of it was just trial and error and trying to guess what he wanted me to do. I wasn't ready to move onto pastels because I hadn't learned to draw yet, but drawing instruction stopped after the first class. 4) Payment: payment time was not clear, and when I did not pay on time (due to the canceled class), the owner got nasty with me, but I had no idea when the payment was due in the first place because no one told me. I wasn't evading the payment but she acted as if I was. 5) I switched teachers and classes. When I went to the new class, the new teacher looked at my pastel work and said "You will get better after time", threw a landscape magazine with work that was way too difficult for me, then walked away to attend to someone else leaving me without any instruction for over 20 minutes. I was just sitting there without anything to do waiting for him so I walked out. 6) Before I walked out, I called the owner who told me that I could not get a refund for the classes even though I didn't take any of them. I am in an emergency situation which is why I had to stop attending classes and leave South Florida, but she was not sympathetic to my situation at all and I ended up losing $90. I'd rather spend more money to get quality instruction and better treatment somewhere else.

All of the teachers are professional and extremely knowledgeable in their medium. Every month we participate in the District Art Walk, the 3rd Saturday evening most of the local galleries open their doors to the public. Miami Art Club has recently added wine painting parties to the schedule. They are hosted by real art teachers and include all supplies and wine!! This past March we had a small group paint roosters for the Chinese New Year. I'm planning my daughter's birthday party for later this summer, she is so excited.

When I waned in I was greeted immediately by a girl named Ivette. She told me she could take me. I was only doing one painting. So I sat down and waited... Small paintings I believe are $15. The large ones are $20. The paintings they had all appeared nice. They also had an option for wine glasses which was nice. Well after seeing all this I was still waiting. Finally Ivette came and told me that she was swamped she asked her coworker and he blatantly said no. That he was going to lunch. I felt cheated. She asked me to come back but I said no. What is the point of having walk ins? Probably won't come back. Which sucks cause it looked like a cool experience.

I have been to many painting parties and every event seems to be hurried and the painting is usually predetermined. Not that it is a bad concept but this one has many options to choose from. There are many painting on the wall, painted by the artist on hand, you can choose one of those, you can bring one or design as you go. The great thing is if you come in a group or party not everyone walks out with the same painting or even canvas! Ivette helped me every step of the way. I had an idea and she was able to bring it to life from my blank canvas to an extraordinary piece I am really proud of!! She had a room full of budding artist she was helping yet she showed patience, compassion and her talent as an artist flowed with each person in the room. Her love for art poured out as she mixed the paints to get the perfect colors and in every stroke as she maneuvered the paint brushes. If you come in, make sure to ask for her. She will definitely make your art experience a positive and pleasant one! Art is for all ages! Check it out and enjoy!

We signed up for the kids yoga flow class online and came on our scheduled date. They have options for different age groups. The class was fantastic! My kid really loved it. It is a really nurturing environment and the staff is extremely friendly. The kids yoga class was simple yet fun and energetic. They did many yoga poses and incorporated songs, dance, and games. The calming portion at the end was very peaceful and it was magical to watch all the little kids being so calm and relaxed. The teacher even did a scented food rub to each kid. I had fun just watching my kid in this environment and interacting with the others. Parents are encouraged to stay and watch or assist and participate a bit. No need to bring a mat, kid size mats are supplied. I'm curious to try some of the other classes they offer. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience.

IPIC North Miami Beach

Looking back, I realized it's been a while since I've reviewed this place, and honestly I think…read moreiPic deserves its flowers. Every time we've visited, it's been a great experience. Now, full disclosure: I'm not a huge theatre person. I'd much rather be curled up on my couch than paying to periodically shush strangers. But iPic makes leaving my house worth it. The oversized recliners, cozy blankets, in-seat service, and a good movie? That's a solid date night. Now onto the important part. My biggest tip is to arrive 30 minutes before showtime so you're not trying to read the menu by flashlight once the previews start. Since we caught an afternoon showing, I wanted something a little lighter and ordered the Harvest Bowl, while hubby went with the bison burger and sweet potato fries. I treated myself to one Old Fashioned, and he kept it simple with a beer. Everything arrived before the movie started, which I always appreciate. Just be warned... once those lights go down, you're pretty much on your own trying to guide food from plate to mouth. I find it to be a fun challenge. The Harvest Bowl was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving with chickpeas, quinoa, avocado, and plenty of green. The sweet potato fries were good too. I would've loved a little more crisp on them, but let's be honest that's usually the trade-off with sweet potato. The portions were just right. Filling enough to enjoy without immediately falling asleep in those dangerously comfortable recliners. (Although... maybe skip the late-night showing if you're anything like me.) If you're looking for an easy date night with good food and a comfortable movie experience, iPic remains as my solid choice.

I came here over the weekend and watched a movie. I got the premium seats which ended up being…read moreabout $20 per person, which is pretty comparable to other theaters nowadays the seats recline all the way back and they are super soft and comfortable.

There is also not a super strict role on talking and unfortunately, there were some loud people near us.
