A great place to take creative classes, even as an adult! Hidden right behind westbrook mall, it's pretty easy to get to from anywhere in the SW.
I took a 9 week "pottery basics" class learning to throw on a pottery wheel. Jane was an awesome instructor, offering a lot of hands on advice. Great place to go to let out any creative energy, or just to get out of the house. Nine 2.5 hour classes for just over $200 including materials and clay firing/glazing, its a pretty good deal! Plus, I now have a selection of awkward coffee mugs as souvenirs!
They also offer a lot of other classes, such as improve, drama, painting, and open studio. Cute facility with great staff.
