It was so fun meeting Michelle, she's so happy to share and teach others, it really made the whole experience that much better. It's definitely a beginners space and the class was lacking some guidance/direction. We were allowed to make as much as we wanted and play around with whatever ideas we had. Four weeks later we picks up our finished products! Everything was glazed and looked so great! Overall, this class was silly and fun and would definitely go back again!

Mrs. Tallman and her team at the Modesto Academy are exceptional teachers. I took music lessons…read morefrom Mrs. Tallman for ten years. I feel that her instruction in music greatly contributed to my academic success and overall happiness. Even now as a busy attorney in California, I still challenge myself musically and try to continue building upon what Mrs. Tallman has taught me. She is extremely professional, patient, and down-to-earth. When I had recitals, I remember being proud that she was my instructor as opposed to the other ones out there. Whenever I interact with other musicians, I realize how well she has taught me when I am able pass on her teachings. I highly recommend Mrs. Tallman and the Modesto Academy of Music & Design for anyone who is interested in learning music.

Some of the same local artists whose art you can buy also give classes in the learning space. Exhibits rotate often, and there are always announcements for the next one. Now here's the thing with a place that displays a lot of local art: the aesthetics will vary. There are artists I think are top-notch (and I buy the print versions I can afford because my current budget doesn't stretch to originals to go over the sofa). There are artists I think are.. having a great time with self-expression (so I don't buy). Regardless, it is delightful that these are my neighbors (more or less), and many are depicting the local landscape in a part of California that tends to get neglected. Where else can I buy prints of actual Modesto-area places, rather than the "more important" beauty spots elsewhere in the state? I adore this gallery and go as often as I can. Occasionally they will feed you cheese bits or whatever, in a festive way.
