Highly recommend City Arts! They have a myriad of classes with extensive workshops/labs filled with all the tools you could need to start learning. Pottery, silversmithing, glass fusing, painting, etc. The instructors are knowledgeable and good at teaching, and the class provides a cohort of fellow creatives to learn from and be inspired by. Silversmithing has been enjoyable and I’ve learned a lot. Any project I’ve brought in to attempt, my instructor has been able to help me create. I’d like to take a glass fusing class and a pottery class at some point too. Fees are reasonable and you can buy some supplies at the front desk. If you’re looking to learn new skills with fellow creatives, look no further than City Arts.
CityArts is a wonderful art center. They have one day workshops as well as courses. The instructors are very good and the courses are fairly priced. It is easy to enroll in classes online and the staff at the front desk are very helpful. I strongly recommend enrolling in a silversmithing class taught by Emily - she's a fantastic instructor!
The only class I've taken is glassblowing, and it's great. The instructors are very friendly and patient with beginners. Skilled instructors are also available to assist students at all levels. I also enjoy walking through the building to view the various and ever-changing gallery displays. I plan on taking pottery soon. Highly recommend City Arts. First Friday is a blast here! LOTS of art, plus snacks and drinks. There's even live glass blowing demos sometimes.
During the summer I came to City Arts to try their Glass Fusing class and ended up taking a total of three classes back to back. I learned something new and had fun. There is no right or wrong way to fuse glass and create art. It is a great way to relax and meet new people. Everyone is nice and helpful. They have day classes and night classes, weekdays or weekends and not just Glass Fusing but other arts too! Classes for kids as well as adults. Check it out! You never know what talent you might discover you have.
Great fun at their event last night. The sculpture tour got us out exploring Old Town. We submitted photos for their photo contest. It was fun. Also enjoyed their local artist art show and as always, had to buy something from their gift shop.
