I took a beginner's clay class with a friend back in March- it was taught by the owner, Bree, who…read morewas knowledgeable, funny, and super sweet! The price for a 2 hour clay class honestly felt like a steal. Bree taught us all the basics- how to wedge clay and roll out a slab with the slab roller machine, how to slip and score, how to work with porcelain clay vs. stoneware clay- it was AMAZING how much she was able to fit into 2 hours, and she did it without rushing. She was patient and explained things very well, and gave a lovely tour of the entire studio. Plus, her dog is adorable and well behaved! I can honestly say that this is one of the best values for your time and money, and with the options to come back and choose a more advanced class if you think that you're ready to try something more difficult. This is definitely a hidden gem- support a local business and spark your creativity here! It's SO worth it!

There were also nice pieces of stained glass, some pottery and even a framed sports jersey. The back of the shop had a large table where the piece you are having framed could be staged. A huge selection of framing material and mats were available to choose from. Ellen took a great deal of time to show me over a couple of dozen combinations of frames and matting materials that would work with my print. She explained why each piece would work for it's individual complimentary elements and gave me plenty of options. Once all the pieces were chosen she quoted me a price and her current wait time. Could I have gotten a better price at a chain store? Possibly, but her price was pretty good. Would I rather support a shop like this? Absolutely. I did have a tough time finding it at first. This shop is near the Chevy Dealer, and directly across from the Army-Navy Club. This is exactly the kind of shop I was looking for. It was friendly, local, and full of options with knowledgeable staff.

From their website:…read more MCC on Main occupies 7,000 square feet of newly renovated, modern space adjacent to a core block of businesses on Main Street in the Manchester Special Services District. The space houses an art and video gallery, the entrepreneurship center, a small cafe with Wi-Fi access and seminar and conference rooms for classes and event-related programming. Since its opening, MCC on Main has brought a new level of energy and excitement to downtown Manchester. Its presence serves as the catalyst for creating partnerships between the arts, business, education, local government and non-profits. ************************ I have to say, I am so thrilled that MCC on Main is open to the public. I usually attend their live music and open mic events. With a very modest entrance fee of $5 for live events, and a modest bar (wine,beer,coffee, Italian pastries), you can't go wrong. Very clean and friendly staff!!!! I recently was their to see a Nu-Folk Group called "Them Damn Hamiltons"...The place was filled to capacity, 110 people, as the staff rolled out more seats for their guests. Seats are varied, from plush seats, wooden and comfy chairs. The best part: You can sit up close & personal with the entertainment!!! Where else can you do this? I love MCC on Main. What a great idea the President of Manchester Community College came up with!!!! Thank you!!! Please check this new Live Music/ Arts/ Educational Center out soon!!! You won't be dissapointed!!!!

Every step of the…read moreprocess, from my initial consultation to discuss design to the actual tattooing itself, was absolutely perfect. I even have a short follow-up scheduled three weeks after my appointment so they can take a look at my ink after it has healed and to go over areas that may need some touching up. I get a real kick out of talking with people who are passionate about what they do, so my hours in the chair with Kevin just flew by. I'm a relative noob (this was only my second tattoo), so I'm sure I must have been asking the most ridiculous questions, but everyone in the shop seemed eager to share their expertise.
