    I went here in the late 90s for my diploma and now I am finding more reasons to attend. I went to…read moresee The Crucible here. We were in a theater upstairs. I found the space unusual because it was all around, which I think would make it harder to coordinate a play because there is no front or back. They seemed to make it work. The acting was decent and I love seeing the passion of the students. Definitely will be here again for events. And for the student, smaller class sizes, more one on one attention, close to downtown and LRT and an easy to maneuver campus make it worth the extra cost.

    I began a Certificate program by taking a few online courses. The BlackBoard online learning…read moreplatform was fairly easy to log into and use to submit and view assignments, have online discussions, and access resources. I decided to complete all my courses online and it was great so I didn't have to go into MacEwan except to write exams or do a presentation. The exams were after work hours so it was convenient for me working and taking courses. The buildings were easy to find classrooms and I only ever bought food from the Tim Hortons and it could be a long line. Most of the instructors were fairly good to reply back promptly when I had questions or concerns. There was one instructor that wasn't very good and when I shared my concerns with the Department, they were very open to hearing my feedback. The only issue I had was with the admissions department who act like they don't care about providing decent service and walk around with the ho hum attitude.

    City Arts Centre - Pottery class in progress at the City Arts Center

    Think of the Edmonton City Arts Centre as a cruise ship far out at sea, with lots of activities…read moreplanned to keep you happy. The catalogue headers give a good idea of the breadth available: cooking and baking, crafts and handiwork, dance, mind and body, music, photography, pottery and sculpture, silversmithing, soaps and lotions, theatre, visual art, and writing. The hunnybunny has done some silversmithing, pottery (pix added to this review), and painting, and we've done a cooking class together. There's a lot you can use to distract yourself from a particularly heavy snowstorm :-) The classes have been well planned and leave you with a nice artifact to commemorate your new (or growing) skill. The teachers personalities vary, so not all students will click with all teachers, but the centre seems pretty responsive in allowing switching between classes.

    I recently came for a cooking class at this venue. I went in the front entrance and the staff…read moreperson at the front desk directed me to the stairs to the second floor. For a Sunday morning, they had a room with art class, children's programming on computers, and then the Antique room where the cooking class was. The class had about 9 students and there were tables and chairs set up. When it was time to cook, the kitchen got a bit crowded with 2 stoves and people standing around the middle counter space. We had to maneuver around others to find cooking utensils and bowls. But all the cupboards and drawers are labelled so it wasn't too difficult to find what you're looking for. The knives were sharp and they have lots of cutting boards. There are also lots of pans and some deep ones to hold lots of food. We cooked, ate, and then cleaned up. They even had containers for those that wanted to take some leftovers home. The venue is convenient with parking and also accessible by walking or transit. It's an older building as the washrooms are dated but everything was clean and in working order. I would come back and take a class here again.

    I'd give no stars if I could. Very disappointing overall experience. This was my first time trying…read morepottery, am I to believe all places are like this? It wasn't even a class, it was video-direction on an iPad. (Fair enough. Maybe that was mentioned in the fine print. I never checked.) Additionally, the staff wasn't at all helpful with any questions. I was brushed off. Again, this is my first ever pottery experience. Pretty salty at this point. Second visit was to paint the items. Again, no help. There were other classes going on in the same room (in-person ones, not video.) I had to ask others painting theirs pieces questions. Luckily, they were very helpful! 3rd visit: Pick up the items, (staff was busy and again, brushed off) one item was smashed and the other was cracked. The glaze wasn't even all the way to the bottom of the pieces. Careless? Inexperience? Who knows. (See photos if I'm able to share them here.) Do not recommend this place. Save your money. Go somewhere else.

    I've been to 4Cats Art Studio with my children now a couple of times - for school activities and…read morebirthday parties. Most recently, I stopped in yesterday, to drop off money towards a little girl's birthday account because all she wants for her birthday is money towards art classes here! Yep, it's that good! From splatter paint parties (and I hear they are brining in black light splatter paint parties) to drawing to 3-D canvas painting with clay, 4Cats does it all. Family nights, field trips, classes, you name it - they can probably do it! Check out their website for current projects: http://4cats.com/stalbert/ The staff are always friendly, creative, and super awesome with kids which is what it's all about! Birthday parties will run you about $20 a kiddo and the kid leaves with an art project they made - WAY better than a loot bag! Party bookings are held on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and are times for 1 hour 45 minutes to include a project and treat time. Parties are geared for 3 years of age and up. I was just checking out the site and my son is already clamouring for one of the Star Wars themed ones where they make a clay yoda! I can foresee a party or two or three coming up here for my kiddos' birthday parties! 4Cats - You seem pretty purrfect to me! PS - Remember to dress in clothes/shoes/socks/hair accessories you don't mind getting stained even if it is for a princess birthday party :-)
