Los Angeles City College

Can't say enough great stuff about this class! Certainly got my money's worth and much more. Gregory Frank is a terrific instructor - extremely patient and explains the process of each exercise very thoroughly. He goes around one-on-one throughout the class to make sure each person is understanding the steps as we go through them. You will never feel "left behind." I was pleasantly shocked with how much we learned in the 2-day class. Because our class size was small, we even covered elements of Illustrator not laid out in the description - Bezier curves and creating text. Even if you have had no exposure to Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator in the past, Gregory Frank explains things in such a way that you can complete the exercises and feel very satisfied about what you learned.

It was a fun class, nice group and the teacher was very patient. He didn’t mind showing us several times how to center the clay and how to manipulate with teknique how to make the clay do what we asked. It was challenging but I think we all made some interesting vessels to take home. I will continue to take more classes, I want to get good at it. Great experience.

Great class, my 11 year old daughter loves to draw and learned quite a few tricks. Will be signing her up again.

Rosie does a great job properly preparing you to be successful by taking her time to explain the information to you. Throughout the class you have time to ask questions. Very interactive session.

Instructor was great, class was very fun, social and informative.

Packed full of info from the instructor and other attendees as well. Highly recommend.

The teacher was great, but the location is not. The parking situation is not addressed correctly. If you’re going to this location, you can plan to park at metered parking in front of the building—the lot they said to use is far behind the building and you can’t find the place to purchase a day pass. If you park on the street near the lot, you have to walk around a city block, the area smells really bad, there are people urban camping all around. If you want to grab lunch, there’s a jack in the box across the street, but you have to get through all the street vendors with their sheets of what appears like a yard sale. In fact, some of the regular businesses are closed, and there’s just people everywhere selling all sorts of second hand items. Unless you live nearby, I would not take a class there. I had received one email from course horse that had one classroom location; then another email with a different location—then when I got there, a woman waiting for a class asked what class I was waiting for, it was the same class—she had a totally different class location, the room next door. After the class start time, a group of people gathered waiting for the class; because I had the other class room on my receipt, I went to the other class to check. I tried the office, but no one was there. At ELAC, they at least have someone in the community service office to help with questions and the parking is really easy to navigate; the neighborhood is pretty clean too. When the teacher arrived, one of my classmates, with whom I’d exchanged numbers, was kind enough to text me. Another student was lost, I encountered her in my travels at the other classroom. The instructor had also been lost. The class experience itself was very positive and helpful; the instructor is knowledgeable and devoted sufficient time to answering questions. I have a very clear to do list of steps to take, resources to pursue, etc. I’m glad I took the class, so it gets 3 stars.

The teacher was awesome! Very informative and had a great way to make everyone feel comfortable!

My daughter had asked me she wanted to take signing lessons. I wasn't sure which route to take and came across this course which was very affordable since I didn't want to spend a lot of money not knowing if she was going to like it. It was the perfect choice since I wasn't sure if she was going to have the stage presence. I believe this class has helped her decide if this is something she wants to pursue and her stage presence is great!!!

Great class for beginners. Instructor is very knowledgeable.
