    We had a really fun time. We used the wheel, which was a cool experience, especially if you haven’t done it before. Judy and Isabel were great, super helpful, engaging, and made everything feel relaxed and easy. Would definitely go back

    I had no idea what's possible with clay until Brendan, a resident artist, offered to show me around the building. The art is mind-blowing.

    Brendan is all passion who happens to be a human. I've never met someone whose entire being is dedicated to his craft and making art interesting and alive for people.

    Kudus!

    I went here for date night with my husband and had a wonderful experience. The couples date night class also provides light drinks and refreshments which was so cute and thoughtful! You check in with the front desk on the first floor in the gallery shop. They print out a sticker name tag with your picture on it that you submit on a machine or via QR code on your form. Then you go to the 4th floor where you can relax before class starts. Have some delicious cheese and crackers! There was wine, beers, and sparkling waters for beverages. The facilities are clean and cozy and the building is beautiful!

    There is a coat closet that you can hang your jackets in before...read full review
