I've been here many times, and never have I found such an amazing commmunity. Everyone is wonderfully friendly and happy to help. There are classes that are both vast and enchanting because they are true art forms. I truly recommend that everyone tries to make a trip once on a weekend to either check out the little shop, look in the exhibition gallery, or even take a class! More so, everyone should go and see the Open House on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend of each year to see all the teachers doing demos on their classes! (not to mention a first rate pottery sale!) I love the creative environment here, and wish we could find it everywhere.
