If you need more assistance, they'd be happy to help- but otherwise, you have free reign! If you want to change up the colors on the picture, that's definitely allowed and they'll give you a different paint palette so you can achieve that! This would be a great place to have a girls' night, a bachelorette event, birthday party, etc.!

They are celebrating the 40th year of the event this year and the trees are creative and amazing. This event is held the first 2 weeks of December and offers a variety of decorated trees on display throughout the museum. Trees, wreaths and other holiday creations are donated by local artists and businesses. The trees are for sale for anyone interested and most-if not all-proceeds go to the museum. If you purchase an item it can be picked up/ delivered after the last day of the festival, which this year is December 13th! In 2020 I purchased a Peanuts tree that was donated by a family who's grandmother/mother had passed and I still display the tree every year. There are also scheduled music and dance performances, arts and crafts, and live music in the main gallery. Santa even appears on some days and volunteers are welcome via sign up. They used to have an opening night gala that was held the night before the festival opened to the public which offered heavy hors d'oeurves, live music, and first pick of items for sale. I think this stopped with the pandemic and have hoped for it's return. Anyway if you have a chance to go see the trees, it's a festive addition to the holiday season!

I had such a great first impression at Clayscapes. I came in as a new small business owner and…read moreteacher, initially coming specifically for some tool kits and a specific clay body. The process was very seamless and fast and felt very much taken care of. Andrew, who helped me, was very knowledgeable with bodies and had I had more time I would have liked to have seen more of the site. I walked out with a sufficient amount of tools to get my program off the ground and the clay I really wanted. As Andrew assisted in loading my car, we saw a very injured bird (in this very packed parking lot). It was so disturbing how broken the wing was that I got on the phone several minutes later to find a rescue volunteer or find a way to take it home with me. I was told that there had just been a call placed in Syracuse with the same description and that it might be the same bird. On revisiting the parking lot, hoping to find the "girl from WA" who I was told caught it, we happened to see Andrew again and asked if he might know if it was scooped up. He smiled and said that they were the ones that caught it and it was off to be cared for. These are the kinds of people you want to do business with. My heart just swelled and I could drive back home feeling we did everything we could and what caring people run this place. I will be back again! I'm actually very surprised I am the first to leave a review as Clayscapes has been verbally recommended many times over since it has been about 20 years since I've bought clay in Upstate NY.

He let us select our images beforehand and had them roughly pencil sketched on the canvases and ready to go when we arrived. This was no simple "paint by numbers" type class. He taught us how to mix our colors and the brush techniques we needed to get the best results for the pictures we had chosen. He even coached us on some alternative/more advanced techniques to create interesting effects to match our source images, such as adding texture/physical depth, and drips/spatters. At no point did we feel rushed and he let us stay until we finished. A really fantastic experience and we hope to do it again!

Eye Studio aka Eye Studio Arts, LLC, offers art & cooking classes for developmentally disabled…read morepeople (among others) which is a great service to provide as cooking is a necessary life-skill- however the deplorable food storage conditions I witnessed firsthand along with the absence of any visible sanitary standards is abominable. The owner's dog is allowed to roam free in the kitchen near food which is a contaminant, and combined with the lack of formal sanitary procedures can easily lead to a food-borne illness outbreak which can range in seriousness from mild to fatal. Students prepare meals and take them home in containers to feed themselves and their families, yet they told me they don't need to worry about Dept of Health requirements because they do not 'sell food.' I would not allow my child or myself to risk my health by eating any food prepared in their kitchen. There is a ServSafe certification posted on the wall, but I witnessed none of the requirements being adhered to and yes- I am qualified to access. It's just a piece of worthless paper if you don't follow the protocol! Any entity that provides funding, donations, or the like to Eye Arts Studio, LLC - and any parent that unknowingly sends their child to a cooking class at this mosh pit of bacteria should take note and investigate accordingly. They are either unprepared or unwilling to undertake the necessary sanitary standards required to provide food in any way to the public. As a side note- the owner exhibited a flash temper several times in my presence complete with yelling and the use of profanity towards staff which is appalling, demoralizing, and completely unacceptable in the workplace. I hoped this behavior was a one-time occurrence, but sadly, it was not.
