The Art Center at Johns Creek

Kamryn Taylor

In short: I am new to art. I took a night class for encaustic wax/mixed media, which I was not familiar with before. I absolutely LOVED this class. Amanda was a great teacher. I would 100% recommend and am looking forward to my next class. In long: I’ve always liked art and had a creative side and wanted to do more art bur never actually did it or could come up with ideas. My mom gave me the idea of signing up for an art class here, and I thought that would be a great opportunity to make me do art and get into hobbies. I am SO glad I did. I signed up for the mixed media encaustic wax class and I 1) had no idea what that was and 2) had never taken an art class so didn’t know what to expect. I called the instructor, Amanda, and she was so helpful and quelled my first art class nerves and answered my questions. Every time I came to this class I was able to get into a flow state and just have so much fun. I literally would go to glass and be like wow I forgot that you could have this much fun. I absolutely loved it. Also Amanda is a phenomenal teacher for all experience levels. She’s a talented artist, great at teaching, and super accommodating and able to pivot on her feet quick. The class has a focus on building your skill level and knowledge of the techniques each class instead and then giving you free time to work on your projects. Overall I had an incredible experience in her class and would recommend it to anyone looking to do more art in their lives. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up to try the water color class next to learn techniques about that too!

The Art Center is truly a hidden gem for creativity and learning in our community. Whether you're a child exploring art for the first time or an adult looking to refine your skills, there's something here for everyone. I originally stopped by in search of pottery classes--and was delighted to find not only that they offer them, but also that a new session begins on October 13th. In addition, there's a Fall Break Art Camp for grades 2-5, where children will experiment with a range of media including watercolor, acrylics, and collage. As I walked through the space, I was able to watch artists at work and enjoy the current gallery exhibits on display. The atmosphere was inspiring and welcoming. Adult fall classes--running October 6th through December 13th--are also available, covering both visual and ceramic arts. Each class is taught by individual instructors, making it approachable for students of all levels. Best of all, online registration makes it simple to sign up. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that such a wonderful resource has been right in my neighborhood all along. It was a great experience, and I've already registered for pottery classes--something I'm really excited about! If you're looking for a place to explore your creative side, I highly recommend checking out the Art Center. Great value for 8 weeks art class at $280
