Acai Studios

I love this little gallery. Tucked in one of my favorite streets since I moved to Sacramento, Winding Way in Fair Oaks. It's practically a little house turned gallery and it's just adorable. I really enjoy that they feature local artists with different themes every month. I've seen some really beautiful work there. Two of my children have had pieces on exhibition at this gallery and I happen to have one there this month under my artist/social media name.They also have a ceramics studio where they teach classes. The volunteers and employees are super pleasant and help give this place a very welcoming feel to it. If you're ever in the area be sure to stop in and look at the work being featured that month.

Planned a little group birthday activity here and it was a great experience. Easy to coordinate, and our instructor (Terrence) was patient and a great teacher. We each got to make 1-3 items on the throwing wheel in about 3 hours and just received our stained/glazed products. Can't wait to use them since they're food safe! Also great decorative pieces. Will be back for their other fundraisers and activities, or sign up for some classes.

This studio has been a pure blessing in my life the past last year. ACAI has been amazing- the prices are affordable (which is huge if you know how much studios can cost...) and the shared studio space offers completely flexible hours (also HUGE!) I have had a shared studio space at this ceramic studio for about a year now and I wish I didn't have to leave! It is small and personal yet I meet new people often in the studio spaces. The clays are great prices, as well. And the classes are informative and personal as well if you are just looking to dip your toes in the water. Dave Wilkerson, CEO of Allied Ceramics Art Institute, is a gracious man with a lot of ambition. He has done a wonderful job building this non profit. I will be back again!
