Wonderful experience wish I would've had more time and maybe even worse to class! Seeing the youth inspired to do Eco art

In September 2025, hubby and I attended a clay pumpkin making workshop by Tracy Levy of Frickery…read moreFrackery Pottery. We were the first ones to arrive. I asked Tracy how many students were attending day, and her response was "Oh, 14-16 students!" This surprised me as the workshop was sold as a maximum of 8 students. Once everyone arrived, sure enough there was barely enough room to work, with everyone squeezed in a tight space. Her studio is located within a shared shop space, so there was lots of noise going on with a TV and chatter from the other tenants' businesses, which made it hard to hear instructions. She also didn't have enough tools and materials to accommodate 16 students, and only 1 assistant to help with the whole class. They ran out of balloons to help support the pumpkin structure, and we had to make do by scrunching up random plastic pieces and stuffing it in our pumpkins instead. I also had other students keep taking tools I needed to work on my pumpkin. We did our best to share, but it was not ideal at all. The crunch time came when we wanted to paint our pumpkins. Hubby went to the paint table, but it was full and Tracy told him there wasn't enough paint or containers. She gave him a dirty container and told him to go wash it off, but we didn't know where water was available either. Hubby raised his voice at this point on how this should have been prepared for us, the students who paid for the class. I looked up from my pumpkin at this point and asked Tracy, "Do we not have enough paint?" I repeated the question again, both times she did not answer. Hubby then brought up that the class was promoted as max 8 students but clearly she squeezed more in for a money grab. Tracy at this point snatched up his pumpkin, held it in her hands and said, "Fine, I can just give you a refund!" At this point, we had already driven an hour to the class and another hour or so making our pumpkins, so we were invested. Hubby backed off and apologized for his outburst. She returned his pumpkin, but would not stop jabbing him and commenting because he refused to have any further interaction with her after this. I had also apologized to her for the outburst just to keep the peace. I had to go around the paint table and ask other students to share the paint. We finally got our pumpkins painted and were told to come back in 4 weeks to collect them after they were fired. Well, we picked up our pumpkins this week and my pumpkin was super messed up. I had taken photos before we left, so you can see the before and after photos. From what I can tell, someone tried to core my pumpkin stem and did not bother putting the stem back properly and fired it as is, causing my pumpkin to collapse. I took photos and emailed Tracy. She cited "Terms and Conditions", and did not respond after I asked for a proper explanation for what actually happened to my pumpkin. We have taken lots of art classes, and this by far is the worst experience we have had with a teacher and studio. I would highly recommend to stay far, far away from this studio!

I've taken 3 classes with Tracy now and I've learned so much! She is marvelous but perhaps my…read morefavorite part has been discovering a new artistic community to connect with!

This is a very cool loft-like space that would be excellent for any large event. Parking is easy…read more Location is convenient. I'd definitely check this out if I were hosting a small wedding reception or holiday party in the area. Apparently they host art and music classes for people of all ages, which sounds awesome. They also host art exhibitions at regular intervals -- local art is so cool! I hope to check them out again soon!

I visited today with my little one. It was an attractive building in a former mill downtown. It…read morelooked like they had a good number of classes for adults and some for children as well. I was a little disappointed in their community-wide Halloween party. Their press release specified that children should be pre-registered for the party online; however, the software in use on the website would not allow for registration and gave no reason why when I tried to pre-register. I found out today that this was because the party was full. I found it strange that no mention of first come first served was mentioned in their press release, and their software did not specify that enrollment in the event was full. Maybe this was their first Halloween party for the community, and the kinks will be worked out next year. I think that since it is a party for pre-schoolers and an hour is about the attention limit for most preschoolers that they should split the party into two slots. For a two-hour event, that would give all of the kids in the community an equal chance to participate. It would also prevent kids from having to be turned away and disappointed as my daughter and several other young ones were today.
