The owner's dog is also super sweet. I painted a pottery, didn't make it from scratch but picked the unpainted one from the shelf and paint it. They have special colors that can make very pretty texture and requires no skill whatsoever. It's very relaxing and fun. They'll fire it for you in 1-2 weeks, then send a text for pick-up. It's a long drive from me but the pottery I got is really worth it!

Rafael has opened her eyes to the beauty in details around her and created a space where she is free to explore different materials and methods. While she has produced creations from impressive macro photography images to mural-sized abstract paintings (no one believes the one hanging in our home was done by an 8 year old), the process of centering herself and tapping into her creative flow is the true gift of this program. She is a shy girl who has found confidence through art. She looks forward to her weekly class and always leaves peaceful and happy. We are truly thankful for this unique place.

It's different than any other art class she has taken. They give guidance, but don't tell the kids what to create. There are so many different styles of art happening all at once from spray painting to photography. Mindfulness is incorporated right in the beginning of class so that the kids can shift gears and more easily tap into their creativity. Love it and HIGHLY recommend this class for kiddos who love art.

Our Girl Scout troop went to Blow a Glass this weekend having no idea what to expect - and we were…read moreabsolutely delighted by the experience. Wes was wonderful with the girls. He was engaging, entertaining, and genuinely captivating. He shared that his grandmother was a Girl Scout, which motivated him to engage with our organization, and that personal connection made the experience feel even more meaningful. He began with a lesson on glassblowing outside by the kiln (and other hot oven-y stuff). What I appreciated most was how much information he shared in such an amusing and accessible way. He is dynamic and held the attention of both the girls and the leaders. We learned so much about the art of glassblowing and the artisan himself, experiencing the craft in a very personal, first-person way. (He even let some of our girls assist him.) At one point, he transformed a bowl into a cup and then into a vase in less than a minute. It was mesmerizing! We then went into the studio to work on our own creations. What was both scary and exhilarating was that, after going over the safety rules and receiving some instruction, we were largely on our own. Wes didn't stifle creativity or prescribe what our creations should look like. Instead, he encouraged us to work through questions ourselves, which left plenty of room for us to experiment, explore, and simply "play." The activity itself was absolutely wonderful. Wes provided a very generous amount of glass, and I truly felt like we had way, way more than enough material to enjoy the experience without worrying about running out. There was so much to choose from, and the girls had the freedom to make the experience their own. This activity has my highest recommendation. Wes is an exceptional teacher and a creative muse who knows how to educate, inspire, and give people the confidence to create. I will absolutely be coming back with my older Girl Scout troop! (The photo below was a "work in progress and not fired yet!)

I did not and was technically late and didn't wear the proper shirt (long sleeve and not black), regardless Wes was accommodating and we had a great class.
