I have always wanted to make stained glass. I took a class today, and it was amazing. The instructors were great, experienced, patient, and easy to learn from. Everyone I met was friendly. I made a stained-glass art piece and was able to take it home today. I can't wait to take my daughter back to WAC for another class.
A wonderful, welcoming place to learn pottery and find community. Classes available with highly knowledgeable instructors. They have high fire, midrange and raku firings; combined with studio tech Doug’s beautiful glazes.
Highly recommended.
Absolutely amazing community, studio, education, and supplies for sale. The monitors (there’s always someone monitoring either doing open studio or classes) are very friendly and welcoming. The instructors are well informed, kind, and patience. I know the board is working on making even more inclusive changes, community engagement, and access for open studio. If you’re interested in making anything with clay, I cannot recommend WAC enough.
