I am not the most crafty person (far from it), but they were able to help this guy make a beautiful Christmas present (wine carrier in my case) with pre-set or custom designs. They made it fun (full of coffee / tea + cookies), while there is this borderline addictive painting and gluing. Oh and the staff is super helpful and happy to work with you through all your color decisions / gluing troubles. Great for: 1. Friend bonding 2. 7th date 3. lazy day 4. Reunions Bad for: 1. 1st dates 2. Break ups

Feet of Clay is a cooperative pottery studio in Brookline, MA. The studio offers various levels of…read moreclasses and membership. Anyone interested in learning wheel-throwing, hand-building or pottery in Japanese should check this place out. If you're a clay artist, you can also join the studio as a general member with access to all of the public space, equipment, glazes and tools. With various levels of membership, you join as a semi-private member where you receive your own storage shelves or a private member where you receive your own space. The studio has tons of wheels, multiple work tables, electric kilns and slab roller. All members and students are required to buy their own clay. Members get 24 hour access allowing for full flexibility especially for artists with jobs. I highly recommend visiting this studio for anyone interested in working with clay-- from beginners taking their first class to serious artists looking for working spaces.

This is a really snotty studio. One illustration, I called to ask about the studio and about their…read moreclasses and one of the "managers" answered. He dismissed my questions putting me off in a truly condescending tone. He said no one there would have the time to show me around the studio and that he himself had classes to teach. Then he informed me that there was a waiting list of 50 or 60 people to get into the studio and in other words, just bug off. He clearly wasn"t going to give me the time of day. Happily, I did bug off. And I was grateful to know what kind of people I would have been dealing with had I not had the heads up he gave me.

The theater was comfortable, for short legs for short duration. Went outside during a break, security in this direction, turned around, security in that direction. Don't know what that was about. Overall, can't say it was worth the travel time to visit. Maybe I just caught it at the wrong time.

In the front it's just for kids. The prices are very reasonable. So you purchase your ceramic for whatever the price is . Then you pay a $5.00 fee for the paint . Then you paint away . How cool is that. . It's such a stress free experience. Go give it a shot . The staff is attentive and helpful . I definitely will be back again . Very grateful for the wonderful warm welcome .

We were all intrigued by the concept, but admittedly, a little apprehensive about what to expect. From the moment the team arrived, they completely exceeded all of our hopes and expectations. The experience was so much fun, unique, and engaging, and the entire team was absolutely phenomenal. It truly made the entire event and gave us a memorable experience that we'll all be talking about for a long time. I cannot recommend the Artful Bachelorette highly enough! If you're looking for something fun, different, and unforgettable for a bachelorette celebration, this is it!

This was so much more fun than I anticipated!…read more Sabrina (hostess/art teacher/lovely woman) led us through a fun filled 2 hours of my first ever nude sketching session! She was upbeat, informative, respectful to both the sketchers (us) and the models. Made sure there were no photography during class unless it's through them to make the models comfortable. (takes guts to be nude in front of a bunch of people drinking and looking at you!) She brought out the artistic sides of everyone in the room, guided us through different sketching exercises (1-3-5 minute sketch sessions) so we're busy drawing instead of JUDGING what we were drawing. such helpful tips! I think we were all VERY impressed with our own artworks! I really thought I'd be drawing a little more than stick figures before coming here. I had a blast and this would make any gathering unique, fun and explorative! I had an amazing time!
