Studio 34 Creative Arts Center & Gallery

I have not taken any of the classes but I have worked with the owner and met a handful of the instructors. I have also sat in on a class to see how it works.
The studio is located on the second floor of a multifunctional historical building in the Neighborhood of the Arts. When you come to the studio don’t be afraid to knock on the door… just walk in. They keep the door closed because of the a breeze that can sometimes effect the art work going on inside.
All of the staff members I met were super friendly and professional. I came to the studio with no experience in any of the art they offered and absolute no knowledge. Marilynne and her instructors are excellent teachers and truly care to make your experience special.
The class size I sat in on was a glass fusion class. If you don’t know what that is (which I didn’t before I stopped in) it’s where you cut colored pieces of class and place them on a big piece of glass. Once you get your desired arrangement it then gets put in a furnace and melts into an awesome piece of art, just the way you arranged it. The class was a small class size, 4 people total. The instructor gave the students great instruction, then let them get creative. She offered pointers and answered questions along the way.
I look forward to signing up for some of the hot glass classes.
Also, it’s important to note that Studio 34 repairs jewelry. So if you have a favorite piece that needs mending whether its glass, beads, or metal… stop in here!

My rating has nothing to do with the quality of classes Studio 34 offers. In fact, I haven’t been able to enroll. Rather, it is limited to my attempts to connect with the Studio with questions. I sent an e-​mail following multiple attempts to stop by, having found no one at the Studio (which does not list its hours on its website). I did finally receive a reply — 2 months later. Recently, having e-​mailed to sign up for a class which was scheduled several days later, again, no response & the class came & went. I’m under the impression that Studio 34’s classes are popular, & perhaps that’s why the ability to contact them isn’t a priority. It is a business, however, which must maintain not only a clientele, but a reputation — or they won’t have a clientele! Unless this was a fluke occurrence, it would be advisable for those in a management role to either reply to messages or hire someone to do so if they intend to add to their customer base.
