  This place is great. I went with a friend for the ring making class for two and had a really fun time. I am very much terrible at all things art, and the instructors helped me produce something that even my friends think looks like I bought it at a store. I don't even wear jewelry, but I am proud of the rings I made and have them on display. It was fun to learn the intricacies of even basic metal work and I hope to share my knowledge with more people.

  I love this place, everyone is so nice. Take a class - very inexpensive. Easy walk from the T or park nearby. Not an issue

  I took a "Make a Ring" workshop at Stonybrook this weekend, and I could not be happier! I've taken many 'classes' at other places (sewing, knitting, etc.) in the past (some good, some bad), but I've always gone in under the assumption that I was there to learn basic techniques, not that I would leave with something I actually really liked and would want to wear. (ex. I took a great, helpful knitting class at Michael's, and while I learned a lot... I would not have been caught dead in that scarf!). I try not to get caught up in 'design' at things like this, because obviously with any art, practice makes perfect, and one's first attempt usually does not usually turn out terrific.
  
  Little did I know, I walked away from this class with a STERLING silver ring that I actually like and that looks professionally made even though it was the first ring I ever made. The teachers, Sophie (or Sophia... I'm horrible with names :(..) and Michaela were so helpful and informative. I cant wait to go back and learn more.
  
  ABSOLUTELY recommended!!!

  I learned about Stonybrook when I was wandering around JP Open Studios and I was excited when I got a Living Social deal for a class. I went to a pendant making workshop with a friend of mine and had a great time. The teacher and assistant were very friendly, helpful, and patient with everyone. They were also very efficient and would offer to help when asked or if they thought it would help time wise.
  
  One thing I recommend if you're taking the pendant making class is to bring your own small cabochon (stone with a flat back). You can buy them online on Etsy, eBay, bead stores, or bead shows. The stones that they offer for the class are (I think) plastic, which is understandable given the added cost of providing real stones (especially since everyone is a beginner). I brought my own stone, and since it was a consistent size with the ones they were offering, they were fine with me using it.
  
  Stonybrook really offers an interesting variety of classes that are not easy to find. I'm looking forward to taking another class there in the future.

  I had a great experience at stonybrook. i had wanted to work in bronze sculpture and took the mold making class. it was gratifying to make molds, pour bronze, use the metal shop to grind my pieces, and gain experience with patina. i also got to take the figure sculpting class for a few months. it was powerful to learn more about capturing the beauty of the human body - with a model and in a circle of other dedicated artists.
  
  I love the studio vibe at stonybrook. its truly a community that welcomes you in! i enjoyed having the opportunity to connect with other artists about what they're doing and to share my work. i liked getting to work side-by-side in good company, in a cool studio space, with great music! :)
  
  I recommend stonybrook fine arts: to create what you want, to learn through your own experience and from the very knowledgeable teachers, to enjoy seriously supportive/caring management, and to be in a community of artists. i love this place, and look forward to coming back! :)
