I can't comment on the level of art instruction or knowledge other than to say that my 8 year old daughter on her first day was introduced to "abstract art". When children should be introduced to the basics of representational art and its techniques they are told that their "doodles" are art -- where do you suppose this goes from here? I didn't wait to find out.

MRS. E!! That is all. Our kiddo was enrolled here over the summer, it's been a few weeks since her class came to an end and I haven't heard the end of how wonderful Mrs. E is. Thank you to Mrs. E for making our child's summer better. She really enjoyed being a part of your art class. As a parent only stopping here to bring my child in for a little something to do over the summer, I was taken back by the beauty in all of the the art found here, especially those pieces found in the art room where the children gathered for class. Astonishing works of art decorate the walls. My kiddo brought home some very unique and creative works being a student here. Classes were always punctual to begin and finish. The class instructor, Mrs. E, is really awesome with all the children. She's very soft spoken and has a calming demeanor. She's hands on in her instruction which is essential when working with young children. She kindly converses with her students, compliments and treats them with respect. We very much appreciated all of this. Little people appreciate this as well. So thank you! We will be back next summer. If I could change one thing about the several visits we made to the Redlands Art Association, it would be in the way we were received by the lady who wears a blazer with the short dark hair and glasses that sits up front. She's not very welcoming for being a receptionist or what you first encounter walking into this place. She isn't friendly, no smile, quite rude actually. Never once said hello, or attempted to speak to us. My 5 star review is specifically written for Mrs. E. If I were to rate my experience based on the lady sitting up front, and the way she acknowledges others, (or better yet, her lack of acknowledgement towards others) this would surely be a 1 star rating. There's another lady with light brown shoulder length hair and bangs that is very kind and welcoming. Much better! Nobody wants to leave their house to be treated rudely by another person, especially on a consistent basis.

Honestly the best place to buy an original work of art and many other artist made gifts. Almost everything is priced extremely reasonably. The gallery is open 6 days a week which is way more than a lot of other places. They have kids and adult classes everyday but you have to sign up in advance as they fill up quickly. A great place for spring artists to gain confidence.

Redlands Art Association is a great place to check out some local art, they host various classes for children and adults. They also host various shows that anyone can enter their artwork in.

Redlands has a beautiful art community and its association has undoubtedly helped that flourish. Definitely a must-see exhibit on State Street.

My child and I have recently taken classes at the Redlands Art Association. They have children's classes during the mornings and mid afternoons. My child really enjoys the classes I've enrolled him in. I recently took the ceramics class and love it. They do not have a pottery wheel so they teach you how to mold by hand. Nancy and Penny are such great teachers. This session we made a turkey bowl, wall pockets, decorative plate, a mug, and a tray. You learn glazing techniques during the last class. You can get discounted rates on classes if you are a member. Being a member allows you to sell or display your art at their gallery. It's located in downtown Redlands. Parking can be fairly easy depending on the time of day.They offer a variety of classes for both adults and children, beginners or those who advanced skills.. some of the classes are listed on their window but you can also find them all listed on their website under the calendar. There are classes in the morning, mid afternoon, and evenings.

It has been a long time since I had done any arts and crafts so while chatting with a friend, we decided to do the summer clay odyssey course with Penny. Once you pay for the classes, you also pay for supplies on the first day of class. We did mostly hand-built work in this class and did not do anything with the wheel. It was a shame the kiln was not working as expected so had a cancelled class, which made us miss a week of in-person work. We did manage to do a few projects like building a planter, mugs, charcuterie trays, and lots and lots of stamps. As for the instructor, Penny is really open and flexible. If you want to take your work home to finish she is all for that. Also, she has all the materials you need from the tools, clay, and glazes. At the end of class, many of our pieces did get fired and we had the chance to pick them up after the Labor Day holiday weekend. Note: Full-time students (w/ valid school photo ID) can get a discounted yearly membership rate. Also, there are no refunds / pro-ratings of classes if classes are cancelled.

I was looking for a paint party to attend with my sitter in law. Redlands Art Association has ones called Paint It & Take It! We had so much fun and actually learned quite a lot in the process! Plenty of room to paint without being squished together. The teacher Martha is amazing. I can't believe what my painting looked like afterwards. I'm so excited to go to more!
