★★★★★Christy GonzalezI took an Intro to Metalsmithing class with 5 other ladies and it was an excellent opportunity to learn something new and fun. The instructor was Burnadette Nichols and she is an amazing teacher with patience and guidance! This Art Center in downtown Bradenton is a great find! Shown below is the finished product we created in the class. A beautiful sterling silver bracelet!!
★★★★★Matthew Rzepa Jr.The center has a beautiful new building, very helpful staff and a huge array of classes!
★Lance ThompsonGood idea, poor execution. Beautiful Arts, No classes. Staff doesn't care to explain anything. I asked about Art Classes for my son and was referred to look into a magazine. When I asked about one of the listed classes going on today, front office told me: "Oh, well no one signed up for that one so it was cancelled."
★★★★★angela cedenoBeautiful place. Staff was nice. One of my clients has been taking her pottery there for years and has always raved about it. I haven’t taken a class yet but my experience looking around and walking through was great. I’ll be back !
★★★★Jen HecklerWe brought our 5 year old here for art classes. She loved it. And great encouraging teachers! All staff super friendly! *** update. Our daughter is now 9 and just finished some summer weeks of art camp and still a hit! The classes she was in are from kids ages 6 to 10 with many kids so just realize not all kids have the maturity yet to sit and follow through with all their pieces. It's not a one on one experience. But they will make friends and they will have great instructors/ helpers!🙂
