“I loved the clay class Jude presented. First of all, she was adorable, full of enthusiasm, and let us know right off that we were here to have FUN. No judgment. I was moved to let go of “ Am I good enough?” and I dove right in. It was as if she turned off the self-consciousness for me and away I went! I am so delighted with the pieces I made and they were not perfect! I am so inspired to do more! Thank you Jude for sharing your love of clay-work! ”
“You are one of the best arts organizations, extremely creative. Who else would consider skateboards or bread-baking or.....objects for art? Because that is the way I think, I appreciate you. Keep up your creative thinking and finding ways to express it!!!”
“River Arts provides my children with opportunities to use their creative abilities and be inspired. They love it. Perfect place for my little artists to thrive!”
““I moved to Vermont and was thrilled to find a creative community within River Arts. I would never have made friends so quickly or settled into the area without the connections I’ve made.”
“I wanted to send a little extra thank you testimonial about how important and impactful the homeschooling pottery class with Dylan has been for our family. _______ has been (as all kiddos) very isolated through the pandemic. River Arts has been her one, consistent opportunity to engage with others in the community in a way that felt safe for our family. She looks forward all week to her classes, and it has benefited her mental health in ways immeasurable. As homeschoolers we have to take on the full costs of experiences and learning and River Arts has made an enriching opportunity obtainable for our family. We are so grateful! We will have to evaluate the state of affairs for next school year, but if we continue to homeschool and there are more offerings through River Arts, you can bet we’ll sign up.
What you do is important. It has made a difference for this family and I’m certain for many more. Thank you.”
“To say that River Arts is a magical place is not an overstatement. From the beautiful building, to the warm welcoming staff, to the friendly people we have met in the clay studio, our experience at River Arts has been nothing short of magical. My daughter and I have been going to the clay studio for a few months and it has been absolutely wonderful. When my friends ask why I drive so far (we live ~ 1 hour away) I simply tell them that it is well worth the trip!”
“River Arts brings together artists of all kinds in a comfortable and fun environment, what joy!”
“The staff at River Arts are amazing, answering questions when I see them around the building. Sometimes a simple question answered will lead to new discoveries and skills on the next piece. Creativity has been one of my joys during this time of Covid. The clay studio is my safe place outside of home, with a strict one household in the studio and physically distant policies for lessons. Even more, it’s led to a freedom and deep joy that filters into other areas of life.”
“We love your beautiful space and all of the opportunities for kids to make art!”
“So great for my daughter to get to paint at the studio with friends and with the guidance of an instructor. Inspiration for her creativity... These weekend one-time sessions are wonderful! Thanks for getting funding to make this program free! We are so lucky to have an arts center in our community.”
“The program was exhilarating, the results were fantastic and it was fun to work outside my element. The content and instructor were great, very well organized and the time flew by.”
