    I've taken adult art classes from Peggy over the past 15 years from her studio in Cupertino. Peggy…read moredoesn't just show you the basics, she really makes students think about the process from beginning to end. From pre-planning an art project, to sketching to execution of the piece. I've learned more from her than any art teacher I've taken classes from in the past. She also teaches a variety of after school art classes for children as well as classes throughout the school year. It's always fun to see what the younger students come up with. She's pretty amazing and supportive of the kids as well. Her class offerings change regularly as well, so there's never a dull moment. I've taken PMC classes, mosaic art as well as the adult studio classes. Peggy's studio is really awesome - there are a lot of tools, supplies, books, and more to draw inspiration from. The grounds are lovely too - beautiful garden area with flowing water. It's a creative oasis for art students in Cupertino. :-)

    I took ceramics from Peggy for 10 years and I cannot even start to tell you how much I learned…read more Peggy challenges her students to make whatever their mind can think of (and that can fit into the kiln). She teaches a variety of techniques in ceramics and allows her students to think for themselves and use their imagination. She also has an unimaginable amount of glazes to help make each piece of artwork very unique and exactly how the artist envisioned it. Peggy also teaches a variety of different art classes as well, not limited just to clay. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had and you will benefit so much if you or your child chooses to take a class (or several classes) from her!

    Reems Creek Pottery is a working studio where the artists also sell what they make on-site. I…read morelearned about it through an artist (IyaBlu' Inc) that was attending a downtown Asheville pottery festival. Rachel Smith opened the studio in 2015 and collaborates with 6-8 pottery artists creating anything from dishes to ornaments to vases and more. Her husband, Dana Smith also sells his custom writing instruments and kitchen utensils here. Besides the expected wooden inlay pens, he uses unique materials like pasta and oats, which are worth checking out. I always find something I like here, and prices are reasonable. It's also a great spot to pick up a gift. Hours are typically around 10-3 M-Sat but do vary.

    From the owner: Reems Creek Pottery is a working pottery studio and gallery. Each of the six ceramic artists has…read moretheir own studio space, and the work is fired in the shared kilns. We specialize in functional pottery, from plates, to bowls to mugs, to vases. We also have decorative pottery such as ornaments, and wall pockets and unique pieces. From cat themed, to mountain themed, we have something for everyone's tastes. Small mugs to large beer steins, and sizes in-between. Reems Creek Pottery also carries hand - made blank cards by a local fabric artist, and pens by a local wood turner. Our potters are knowledgeable about how all the work is produced and can answer your questions, as well as show you what they are working on in the studio. We are also featured in the Blue Ridge Craft Trails. So stop by Reems Creek Pottery today, on your way up to the Blue Ridge Parkway, or on your way back from a hike.

    This place is amazing! Texture Gallery and Art Bar is such a…read morecool place to stop by and look around or to take an art workshop. They are located in an old house (I believe) that has been transformed into an art gallery/ framing studio/ Art bar/ Studio space. The upstairs level is the art gallery. It is absolutely gorgeous with each room with different colored painted walls to make the art on display really pop. They have dragon head sculptures, calligraphy art, burlesque photography, unique jewelry and so much more. My favorite part of this gallery is actually one of the walls-one of the owners has been (over time) gold leafing one of the walls and it is absolutely stunning. I am dreaming of doing this in my future home one day myself now. The bottom level of the space is where the magic happens. There is an "art bar" which is full of all the art supplies that you could imagine. You can take art workshops here with a group of friends, do an art project by yourself, or do a boxed art project with all of the instructions and materials provided. I recently did a group Mixed Media art workshop. A group of six of us did a three hour workshop led by Patrice. She is a great teacher, the class was super affordable, and it was super fun! For $35-$60 (depending on canvas size), we each created our own unique textured, colorful artwork. We were instructed on how to use the different materials (paint, stamps, modeling paste, mod podge, h20 colors, pitt pens, oil pastels, napkins, tissue paper, etc) and given inspiration. Within the three hour time period, each of us was able to start and complete a piece of art. I truly love this place and recommend it for anyone who loves looking at art (walk through the gallery), anyone who is intimidated by the idea of making art (take a no-pressure workshop with Patrice), or active artists (always good to try new things). Bring your friends, your family, your coworkers. Super fun!

    Great space with very unique art! I love it! The top…read morefloor is the gallery and custom framing shop, while the lower floor is a super fun art/craft class space. She has many interesting and fun ideas for making something--from challenging to kid friendly everyone can take a cool thing home.
