This beautifully restored, landmark fire station in downtown Longmont has been run by the…read morenonprofit, The Arts Studio, since 1987 with a major renovation to the building in 1999. Programs include twelve art exhibits annually plus two resident artist studios, a ceramics studio, and a classroom. Admission to the galleries is always free and The Arts Studio provides extensive outreach to the community plus a regular program of classes for children and adults. Exhibitions mix solo and group shows including local, regional, and national artists. I've been visiting the Center for many years. I've found the exhibits to be of mixed quality, but that's inevitable given the mission of the organization. Today's visit involved some sort of used clothing sale which was a little confusing and made it difficult to see the current art exhibit. The Art Center is a great community resource and a terrific asset to Longmont.

Since my first review 1.5 years ago - I've taken several additional classes with Kate. I…read moregenuinely feel like a cheesemaker now, and have applied much of the ongoing learning I've gleaned from these courses to numerous homemade cheeses. I know enough to tackle many cheeses - from chevre to cheddar and everything in in between. However, I was cursed by mozzarella - for the life of me, I could not make mozzarella that didn't turn out like hard, tasteless rubber - trying to follow a recipe off the internet - I was convinced it was an impossible cheese. After Kate's hands-on class, not only did I make an incredibly tasty mozzarella - she also showed us how to turn it into a special Burrata - which tasted amazing and looked beautiful. I learned how to make a great mozzarella in the class and regained my confidence in tackling this cheese - thanks to Kate's careful instruction and sharing several tips and tricks to this tricky little cheese.

Happy cheesing!

He was not experienced on 10 needle embroidery machines because he did not know how to calibrate the machine on different hoops. I called BabyLock and they referred me to another dealer who told me what happened. The machine has never been the same. She would only text not respond to calls like a 12 year old. She tried to get my husband to buy another $20,000 machine after they broke mine!!! I have never experienced such incompetence in my life. DO NOT buy a machine from her. I wish I could destroy something of hers that costs $20,000.! She's very unprofessional. I would not have put a 1 star on the review but they would not except less I'd say a negative 10 is sufficient!
