Such a wonderful shop with beautiful and unique art pieces and great classes for kids. We stumbled upon this shop waiting for the train and Peggy the Head Wizard helped the kids make wands. We wish we lived closer to enjoy this art academy regularly.

If you are an artist who displays your work at the PAA, you need to keep close tabs on your work. My wife had some jewelry on display and four of her necklaces were allegedly misplaced. Two of them were found and the others are still missing. Once the two were found it took weeks, phone calls and emails to get them back. The PAA is run by volunteers, and we have found it to be disorganized and inefficient.

Even though we did not attend an art class, we stopped by after going on the train ride at CNP. We were able to see the silk scarf class in progress. We were really impressed to see the outcome of the scarves being made. Definitely we plan to book a class soon when back in town. The storefront features a variety of artists and a variety of art pieces. Prices seem reasonable. Check it out if you are in the Peninsula area!

I love this place for local art. They have lots of interesting classes (glassblowing, fused and stained glass, painting, drawing, weaving, enameling, upcycled crafting, photography, etc.), and it's fun to browse in the gallery. They have rotating exhibits highlighting different themes or mediums, and the regular gallery is the FIRST place I look when I need to buy a gift. Kids' classes too!

Neat place and interesting to see they offer all kinds of classes! We will be thinking about taking a few classes. 😀

The Academy is a local house for local art, artists, and people shopping for unique things. They also offer a robust class schedule for adults, teens and kids at a variety of times and days on a variety of subjects. I've taken three glass blowing classes here and I know there are also drawing, painting, weaving, and glass fusing classes. I don't know what else they may have, but call and check!

I was gifted a glass fusion class at Peninsula Art academy. The class was for how to make colored flower lawn ornaments. After sketching out the petals and design (I changed my design when I realized how you cut glass). I quickly found out why my prior cutting glass failed. I was never applying enough pressure. Was shown how to make glass cuts and given window glass to practice on. Next was being shown how the grinder works to remove the sharp edges on the glass. Followed by glueing and then placing in the kiln.

Class also went over the annealing process. How and when glass fuses. Hopefully the small microwave kiln works so I can try out what I learned.

Will be back for another art class as it was fun and ygot to learn something new.
