Artascope — Local services in Yarmouth

Took a jewelry class here and it was pretty expensive for what I got out of it. A lot of the class time was demos, and the teacher used her own tools and complained about what Artascope had available, and then there weren't proper tools available during open studio time to do what the teacher had taught with her own tools. Open studio time is also very limited, especially if you have a 9-5 job, and either closed early or just didn't open when it was scheduled to. So, I would only recommend this if you are retired and have lots of daytime available, or if you have your own...

Artascope is a non-profit, peer learning, art community in Yarmouth that saved my retirement. The studios moved to Yarmouth the same month that I finished a 40 year career in nursing.I decided to check it out and have been spending at least a day there every week since, taking classes in painting, colored pencils, drawing, precious metal clay and working on projects in open studio time. I've met and enjoyed people of all ages and places of life. It's my second home now. Thank you Bickford Education Center for making this place...

Highly recommend Laura's bezel ring class! She was hilarious, excellent at demonstrating and explaining each step, super patient and helpful. I had no idea what to expect, but the 6+ hours went by before I knew it! It was so fun and interesting, and you get some really cool jewelry...
