What is the sentiment of the following review?
This is for the Mesa Arts Center (downtown Mesa) now that it's under the MCC umbrella... Mesa Arts Center (now known as MCC art center) is wonderful. If you're looking for classes on glass blowing, bead making or jewelry making, this place is it. I can only vouch for the Jewelry classes (you have to sign up via MCC). I've taken the Jewelry classes mainly as a refresher and I like seeing if I can learn new tips and tricks from the instructors. Last summer (2007) they taught a wonderful class on stone setting. For those who can't afford going to school at the GIA or the Revere Academy in San Francisco, this is a good alternative right here in your own backyard. The studio at MAC is top notch as are the instructors. Polly, Alison and the new enameling instructor are well worth the time spent here. The studio is ... AWESOME. Complete with 4 - yes FOUR - kilns to enamel. A casting area with a centrifugal forge...and some wonderful tool benches that make me cry when I have to use mine here. The torches at the studio are acetylene and oxyacetylene - wonderful melting power! They also have a vulcanizer so you can make molds and the ventilation for the studio is superb. So many wonderful amenities that are useful - you can tell a lot of time and thought went into the studio when they were planning it. It's advised that you bring your own tools - like your own investment if you want to cast, casting grains, etc. I like to bring my own tools because you just never know who used it before you and if they've ruined it somehow either through carelessness or just being new to jewelry making. I sign up for classes for the sole purpose of using the jewelry studios. It's a wonderful place. Also the students that go there are somewhat few and far between, even though the classes can be full, most students show up every other week! That means more space for me to work in. ;)
