Stained Glass Workshop Weekly Intensive
Auzzie is an amazing instructor, the demos she did were great and the class was so fun. The studio has a very comfortable vibe and the other students were lovely to learn alongside. I would definitely recommend to anyone curious about stained glass. -
Wooden Spoon Carving Workshop
We took this class as a date night and it was such a blast! The instructor Justin was friendly, super knowledgeable, and always ready to help at every step. The class itself was beginner-friendly but still provided a fun challenge. We will definitely be coming back for more classes. :) -

Beginner Wheel Throwing
This class and the studio were great. The instructor, Becca, is incredible. She is a skilled ceramicist and instructor. Instruction was well paced and everyone in the class seemed to be having fun, even my husband whom I dragged to take a class with me! This is the second class I’ve taken at Element Art Center (the other was stained glass) and I’d take a class again. Talented instructors in a fun and safe space. -

Ceramic Charcuterie Board
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the ceramic charcuterie platter class. Teacher was great and value for the tuition cost was terrific. Watching your site for future classes of interest to us. -
Stained Glass Workshop Weekly Intensive
Class was exactly what I wanted it to be. Teacher was great and explained the steps in easy to understand directions. -
Abstract Stained Glass Workshop
The venue and instructors (Becca!!) were wonderful! The set up and process for learning encouraged calmly all. I did wish that glass supply to cover area defined (per design sheet given) and number of pieces for the defined area (8) were available (rather than asking for larger pieces of glass). Working from the supplied pieces (quite small) was difficult. I understand people waste, but the people who signed up for the class seemed to be very aware and kind. I’d assume they wouldn’t waste and limit them if they did. Other than that, it was a wonderful class! I’ll be back! -
Mosaic Workshop
It's always nice to take a class where you learn something and leave with an object you actually adore and want to display. this class was a great blend of process and product. It is fun to do on your own, but because there's some downtime while you're waiting for materials to solidify, it could be a lot of fun for a group of friends because it allows for a little more interaction. -
