    I have been coming here since I moved to Colorado, a mere 9 months, and this arts center offers all to be desired.  Lauren, the owner, does art openings, adult classes, paint your own pottery, kid's classes, birthday parties featuring almost any project to be desired and of course special events!  

    One of the best parts is drop ins.  If you want to drop in for a special project, paint your pottery or anything at all there is availability.  Give Lauren a call and she can set you up with the best time if needed.

    The studio is well spaced out with three main "project areas": kids area, pottery studio and the painting/open space area.  This allows for a lot of available work space.  

    This is a great place to spend an afternoon, create a special event or just do a paint your own pottery piece (and yes she will mail them to you if you are here visiting).

    Lauren Merrill is the owner/ manager of this beautiful art center that's set in a commercial park. It's a beautiful loft space with floor to ceiling windows looking out onto the mountains.

    On a cold winter day, too cold for skiing, I took my 4 year old here for a drop-in arts class. For $25 the little one got to make a something out of clay and we came back a week later to glaze it for an additional $12. A few days later we went to pick up her piece all fired and shiny.

    Most days of the week you can drop in and pick a piece of ceramic that needs to be glazed. Paint it come back for it later in the week after they've fired it in the kiln. It's a relaxing alternative to being on the mountain. You paint, listen to music, and just enjoy the low-key atmosphere.

    Lauren has all kinds of events and classes on-going so check out their website. Also, there's a 2 for 1 coupon to paint your own pottery in the tourist guide that's labeled for kids.
