Palo Alto Art Center

Extremely expensive and has class times mainly during the daytime, even with scholarship from city. (For example, Sunnyvale's city-run Wilson Park ceramics charges way less and allows you to pay per drop-in). As a result, the space is extremely homogeneous--mainly older white women that don't need to work. Leia (not sure how to spell her name), one of the volunteers, makes me uncomfortable--she is racist and has confused me for other Asian students MULTIPLE times, even though I was there for TWO semesters and dropped in multiple times a week. I want to continue doing ceramics, but I am honestly considering driving all the way to Sunnyvale for a more friendly crowd and more affordable rates.
