I am so happy my family and I have found this place! I have been searching all around for a reasonably priced art SCHOOL around the area. This place actually holds regular classes weekly for kids in a nurturing setting. Not just a few-days-in-one-week kind of workshops. Although, the business does offer such workshops. Class sizes are normally fairly small, that way you know your child gets the important attention to help them expand their talents along with the freedom to let them be themselves. Rebecca owns as well as runs classes here and she is a pleasure to work with. She brings a wonderful balance of educational understanding of art and the love and appreciation that comes with it.

Our 6 year old daughter attended two art different 2-day art classes this summer and absolutely loved them. I appreciated the studios efforts to create a fun environment while practicing safety standards to keep everyone safe. We absolutely recommend PPAC and cant way to take more classes.

My 9-year-old daughter enjoyed the summer camps and is looking forward to joining the afternoon classes in the fall. I appreciate how Rebecca fosters creativity, independence, and confidence in my child!

I had been wanting to get back into ceramics for years and had never found a place that fit what I was looking for. A friend of mine suggested Pikes Peak Artist Collective. I LOVE the flow of the classes! Rebecca (the amazing owner) offers as much or as little direction as you want. You are free to work on whatever types of projects interest you most. Personally, my favorite is the potting wheel!Rebecca is full of knowledge, enthusiasm and guidance. She makes you feel right at home in the studio! The monthly fee for weekly classes is very reasonable. I really enjoy the other students as well! The whole studio has an incredible vibe! I strongly recommend Pikes Peak Artist Collective!

Comfortable, fun and creative environment for kids and adults! Ceramics, painting and other medium is taught in small classes as well as one on one learning. Great location in the historic art district of Old Colorado City. Located right next to the new Wobbly Olive and Tapataria restaurants. It is even available to rent for a paint+wine evening, date night or Pop Up art show etc. Great location for this.

My husband and I did this for our anniversary and it was AMAZING! Rebecca was such an amazing teacher! I highly recommend this studio. We can’t wait to go back!

Rebecca is kind, genuine and has an eye for art and teaching. Highly recommend!

Joining the Adult Ceramics class at Pikes Peak Artist Collective has been the best investment I have made for myself in a long time. Rebecca does a great job of explaining different techniques, but letting you run with your ideas. The classes are intimate and she really treats everyone as an individual rather than a number in a large class. She has flexible hours and is always excited to see her students. If you are looking for something new to try and want to do something special for yourself, look no further. I highly recommend PPAC classes.

Erin Gillespie is the finest arts instructor I know. She is incredibly creative, effective, and generous, freely sharing her talents and expertise. She makes learning new approaches and methods both challenging and FUN. So long as Erin Gillespie teaches, I will be one of her many dedicated students.

Erin is an awesome teacher. Wherever you are in the development of your artistic talents, Erin will meet you there. Then, with each class she will help you to improve your skills and expand your vision of yourself as an artist. I have loved every class I have taken with her.

Erin Gillespie is a fun, creative teacher who encourages you to step out of your comfort zone with new painting styles and techniques. Her exuberance for art is catching!

Wonderful art classes with Erin Gillespie! The place is inviting, and set up for lots of different kinds of art. Great place to explore your creative side!

We love Pikes Peak Artist Collective. Our kids have blossomed under Rebecca’s guidance, and have gained so much confidence as well as incredible skills in a short time. PPAC is a gem!

Ive been taking weekly adult clay classes at Pikes Peak Artist Collective with Rebecca for about 3 months and I couldnt ask for a better experience. I took a few art classes in high school but otherwise didnt have much experience with clay and I wasnt really sure what to expect. Ive learned so much about wheel throwing, hand building, carving and glazing and my skills have improved immensely since my first class. I like the free form of the class because I can experiment with different shapes and techniques and Rebecca is always there to provide constructive feedback and guidance. I love having time set aside each week to be creative in a cozy, relaxing environment with someone so invested in helping each student discover and develop their own point of view as an artist.

Our son (7yo) loved it!! Mrs. Rebecca was great and our kiddo talked about how nice she was. He also made great friends that all had an interest in art. He also loved learning new techniques for drawing and clay. He wants to go back next summer.

My husband and I went for an intro to clay couples class. We had so much fun and can’t wait to go again! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Rebecca and Casey have truly created a phenomenal and unique multi-generational community for artists, students, and art-lovers to gather and learn from each other.

Rebecca is fantastic and we love coming to her classes! She has a wonderful, warm nurturing way with the kiddos and my son just loves her!

We have done several classes for kids and teens/ adults here and love it! The new space is large, warm and inviting and the teachers top notch!!!!

Our kids had a wonderful time during the summer here and can’t wait to go back and try another class!

My daughter loves her weekly art lessons here and Rebecca and is kind and patient art instructor. Each week the kids work on multiple different art projects to learn a variety of techniques, including work on the pottery wheel! There are so many options for kids activities, but this one tops the list. Studio 101 is worth the drive even if you dont live on the Westside.

Best little art studio ever!

Great place, kids love it.

Daughter and friends love the classes.
