My daughters and I have been taking classes at WBCA since August 2018 and LOVE going there!! We have been introduced to so many new skills through the guidance of exceptional artists and teachers. Our skills in pottery, SAORI weaving, jewelry-making, leather-crafting, drawing, and painting all have improved greatly thanks to the encouragement of the instructors. WBCA fosters a sense of community among the students, staff, artists, and teachers. It's a place where you want to keep going to not only build on your creativity, but connect with others who value the arts and their importance in society.
