Take a fused glass or glass blowing class because it was so much fun, I had to book a second workshop and now ... I think I'm hooked! Fabulous and fun instructors had me feeling comfortable and able to create what previously I had only seen other people make. Art du Jour Gallery and Studio is located at 1013 Cedar Street in downtown Santa Cruz. The cool thing about the location is that it's cozy, feels welcoming and has a relaxed pace. It's really a perfect environment to explore and experiment with glass, metal and paint. Bring a friend ... or two ... or three. We booked my bridal party there and had a blast - Now we all think we're artists! Whoop whoop! For details: WWW.ARTDUJOUR.ORG Phoebe S.

Sadly this wasn't the place for me. The owner Geoff has the worst communication and made my son and…read moreI feel really terrible. Some of the people that are members are not the nicest to work around, however I met a few great people that were great! Overall because of the poor communication, bad management and some of the mean members I personally do not recommend Clay Creation. Clay is something my 17 year old son and I have loved doing together for years, but since we went to Clay Creation he hasn't wanted to do it anymore. He really felt terrible with the way we were treated. Hopefully he will start someday again. I've been going to Santa Cruz Clay and Phoenix. Both places have been so incredibly nice and so helpful.
