The 10 Best Lessons & Workshops in Connecticut, United States

December 23, 2021 Malia Yoakum

Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

This is a very nice studio. We had so much fun punting, playing hot potato, singing along the songs. You get to have fun and take a beautiful piece of art.

Visitors are always welcome at John's studio/retail gallery, where he also offers pottery classes. "Forty years as a studio potter has taught me a deep understanding of the pottery process. I'm glad no one told me how difficult a pottery career would be. For me, however, the process is the reward. My focus remains producing, selling and teaching. What brings you joy can bring you abundance." John Macomber

John always has new and beautiful works of art to choose from. The colors are so rich and interesting. His pieces are so functional as well. I find myself reaching for them time and time again for serving or dining. His lamps are really charming and add character to a room.

Grace Farms

Grace Farms is a welcoming new place for people to experience nature, encounter the arts, pursue justice, foster community, and explore faith.

Reviewed By 561ashers - New York City, United States

We visited Grace Farms on a Sunday. It was serene and calm, like going to the spa without getting wet! We sat and had a tea and very much enjoyed a lesson from the tea-maven Brian. He was so knowledgeable about the varieties of teas they stock, as well as all the various methods of brewing the teas. I left with a whole new appreciation. Visiting Grace Farms is a relaxing respite, you feel completely rejuvenated after just an hour or two.
