<span class="drop_cap">T</span>his post is long overdue, but here it is finally! For the locals, I wanted to let you know about an art studio that's new to town: <a href="http://www.oneandonlyartstudio.com/">Elena's One and Only Art Studio</a>. I'm incredibly impressed by the range and variety of classes and services they offer -- from private lessons to parties, from ceramics to stained glass. And I was stunned by the prices. They are more than reasonable as Elena's philosophy is that everyone should be able to learn the arts. 

I remember when I was a kid, my sister and I used to go to a local arts and crafts store where you could pick out ceramics to paint, and then they'd fire them for you. It was sooo fun, and I couldn't help but think of those good memories when I was taking photos at Elena's studio for this post. 

And, as a gratuitous self-promotion, I wanted to show you that some of my lovely pieces are also featured in her studio!
