  5. 4.5 Prairie Fire Glass (15 reviews)
    - Beautiful meaningful pieces
    Lessons & Workshops
    Prairie Fire Glass image
    I had several memorial pieces (for myself and family members) made by Jim using my husband's ashes this week. I am so appreciative for the whole process. Jim takes a personal approach and I appreciate that, because you feel very vulnerable leaving precious ashes with someone you've just met. He asks for pictures of the loved one, and he learns all about them when he talks to you beforehand. While he's creating the pieces, he listens to their favorite music and talks to them. The end result is beautiful. And it's very affordable, which is always something to consider. I highly highly recommend Prairie Fire Glass. See more..
  6. 5.0 Thrown Elements Pottery (14 reviews)
    - A fun activity for adults and children
    Saturday: 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM Lessons & Workshops
    This is a “paint your own pottery” studio, and a fun experience for both kids and adults. After painting a piece of pre-formed pottery (such as mugs, plates, other tableware, and decorative pieces) with glazes, it is fired, and then you have a fully functional ceramic piece to use at home. Those who want to do more can take “wet clay” classes, and learn how to form traditional pottery on the wheel or by hand. It has a fun atmosphere, and the staff are very helpful and enthusiastic. You can just drop in to choose a piece of pottery and paint it, or take a short wet clay workshop. Time needed to do this is just dependent on the complexity of the piece, and how complex you want to get with your painting design. They also offer children’s pottery painting birthday parties. I am a customer; I have been taking adult wheel throwing classes there for about 3 years. See more..

    - Thursday dive trip

    Mermet Springs image
    I've been to Mermet Sprigs for multiple dives, including dive classes and recreational dives. The dive site is great for training or someone looking for a couple recreational dives. There are plenty of things to see below the surface and lines are well marked. The staff there are great to work with and have such a depth of experience and desire to help connect people with diving they can only be described as First Class. My two favorite things to visit are the 727 plane or looking for paddlefish. My only note of caution is be sure to look at water visibility on their website. On some days the visibility can be less than ideal. I know I will be back many more times. See more..

    - Cute and fun!
    Saturday: Spent 2-3 hours Lessons & Workshops
    It’s a fun place to paint a cute painting! The other students were very nice and easy to start conversation with. The husband and wife who own the studio are also extremely kind and very helpful. The only flaw was that the artist talking us through the steps was flying through everything. She wouldn’t move on until everyone was done, but it was hard to keep up sometimes See more..

It was apparent the instructor was an expert. He was patient and individually attentive, answering our questions and providing lessons according to our skill levels.
