Red Kiln Pottery Gallery is a small pottery studio based in Salt Lake City, UT. The establishment has many pottery wheels and a large selection of clay to choose from. The people are friendly and the atmosphere encourages creativity. The walls are covered with amazing creations from their very own members. Red Kiln offers classes for beginners. If you already know how to throw a pot, you can simply purchase studio time, some clay, and even have unlimited access to the studio with the purchase of a sixty dollar membership. Firing a pot is relatively cheap, costing about five to ten dollars. I have not found any places cheaper than this. If you are a beginner, I strongly recommend taking their classes. The instructors are very friendly, helpful, and have lots of experience. There are not very many pottery studios in Salt Lake City. This is one of the few that offer studio time, minus the instruction for people who already know how to throw clay, but do not want to sit through instruction. Customers can either pay ten dollars an hour of studio time or can purchase a month for sixty dollars, which gives a person unlimited access to the studio. Those enrolled in the classes offered have priority on the pottery wheels. I strongly recommend Red Kiln Pottery Gallery for beginners and professionals.

The Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City is nothing short of a miracle. There are so many things to do that I’m still amazed. Whether you just pay the entrance fee and walk through, or you choose to take a class or program, there’s something for everybody. Some of the programs for children include Spring Break Camp, Boy and Girl Scout activities, birthday parties and summer camps. These all range in price, but the memories they provide can’t be measured. These classes are educational and fun. The kids won’t even realize that their learning. If you’re on the bigger side of life, consider taking a adult class. There are always different classes going on throughout the year. One of the favorites is the non-fiction book club. Here, adults 18+ discuss, debate, and argue over books concerning the natural world. If reading isn’t your thing, consider the science movie night. Once a month, there is a free movie screening and discussion on the movie. Visiting the Museum of Natural History is a no-brainer. It’s an affordable, fun way to learn no matter what your age. There are classes on biology and science, and even other subjects not referred to a lot in science. There is truly options for everyone, but the only way to find out is to visit.

Bevalo is a great little coffee shop with a wonderful, open design, rich hardwood floors, a leather couch, fantastic art displays, and live music events during Salt Lake City’s Gallery Stroll events. Since I’m a five minute walk from Bevalo (at 123 East 200 South in Salt Lake City, UT) now, I’m thinking I’ll make it my home away from home – a great place to go make blog posts and edit nightlife photos on the laptop. There’s a lot to love about this place, but my favorite feature is that the owners are passionate about coffee. These guys know what’s up! Today we had a nice conversation about Kona coffee – I got addicted to the stuff when I was living in Hawaii, where Kona coffee is in plentiful supply. I’m not a coffee expert by any means, but I love a great medium roast cup of Kona – usually with chocolate. I’m expanding my horizons here, though. Today I was served a refreshing iced cup of vanilla and almond shakerato, (organic milk foam, ice, espresso, and a perfect blend of spices for $3.75). It was just what I need after the five minute trek in the sun from the apartment in the Avenues. Bevalo also serves a delicious Mayan Shakerato, along with Mayan cookies( chocolate, espresso, and just a hint of peppery kick). Delicious! Dying to find more places like Bevalo?
