I am happy to express my support and appreciation for Schuler Arts Studios and the creative arts services provided to Albion College departments and student organizations.    The unique hands-on approach employed by Schuler Arts allows its participants to explore their individual creativeness alongside their colleagues and friends resulting in memorable shared group experience.   Whether glazing pottery for the raku process, throwing your first vessel on the pottery wheel, or free forming a relief, the Schuler Arts studio provides helpful instruction in conjunction with genuine guidance, encouragement and support allowing you to be the artist.   Most importally however, student and staff participants routinely comment on how honest-to-goodness fun the workshops really are.  

If you are looking for a shared group experience to help bring your team closer together or simply looking for an out-of-the-ordinary activity to increase social interaction, I highly recommend the workshops and classes offered by Schuler Arts.   You might select from one of the pre-constructed programs, but if you looking for something a little more custom, please talk to the art studio staff to see if creating a unique experience for your group is possible.    Schuler Arts is a valuable resource not only for students and staff of Albion College, but for the surrounding communities as well.

Schuler Arts is staffed by a couple of the kindest individuals you'd ever want to meet. On top of that, both Pam and Nobel are incredibly talented and dedicated to the work they do and the folks they serve. It's such a wonderful thing to have in the Albion community for surrounding community members as well as the students at the college.

I was fortunate enough to have Pam and Nobel attend at retreat that I hosted for a group of around 40 college students. While it's sometimes difficult to capture and maintain the attention of a group this size, the students were quite taken with the projects we did with the Schulers. One of the activities involved the students creating a piece of art that represented who they were and the community they formed. Pam and Nobel were able to get everyone from the football players to the video gamers excited about creating something. It was so cool to see the students so genuinely invested in a project. The session with the Schulers was also able to bring groups of students together in a way that simple icebreakers would not have been able to.

I would highly recommend Schuler Arts to anyone who is looking for a fun activity to do with a group of any age. You will not be disappointed with your experience or what you're able to create!

Schuler Arts is an absolute treasure for the Albion Community as well as surrounding areas.  The studio is a warm and welcoming environment and the staff members are exceptional teachers and guides.  They have incredible patients while working with all different groups with varing skill levels and ages.  

I have enjoyed the studio with both small and large groups, as well as individually on my own.  The instruction is well thought out and is presented in a genuine, caring way with incredible sensibility that make you, as the artist, more willing to stretch yourself and experience something new.  

I definitely saw this happen when I took a large group of student leaders from Albion College to the studio during one of our training retreats.  The experience was familiar for some, but most were experiencing this type of creative expression for the first time.  It was a great way for the students to bond together while sharing in a group activity.  I can't imagine taking my students any place else that would provide them with such a hands-on learning experience, while getting to know each other as a group.  

I would highly recommend Schuler Arts Studio to anyone looking for something different to do in a beautiful, open, relaxing and encouraging space with their class, youth group, church group, family and friends.
