Dec 2025 * Friends I worked directly with owner to book…read moreparty room for my Annual Christmas Party. Part of agreement was that she would have 3-4 Christmas figurines in available in an agreed price range for my guests to paint. After discussing and agreeing to terms I pre-paid party room rental fee. In addition, due to it being holiday and fact owner did not know me I offered to pre-pay $100 toward final costs which were not due until conclusion of event. I shared details with invited guests regarding fact there would be Christmas figurines available to paint from "shelf" in partyroom. Day of party I arrived a few minutes before guests, the owner was not at the shop, upon inspection of partyroom, I noted that there were no Christmas figurines in price range owner/I had agreed on. When the staff member reached out to the owner, she lied and said she never agreed to that. She further told her staff member I had prepaid for partyroom rental and owed for costs of pieces and kiln fees. Thankfully I had phone with texted copy of the over the phone receipt. If not I would have had to pay the $100 that I prepaid toward ceramic pieces again until I could resolve issue with owner and get a refund. After a kiln malfuntion/repair they worked hard to get all of the pieces from all of their customers fired. After several texts, owner finally confirmed all of our pieces were ready for pickup on 8:23am on 12/22/25. We scheduled a pickup time for that evening at 5:30pm. Sadly at 5:30pm. While I was sitting in my car in the store parking lot,, I received text saying she had to give her daughter a ride but there was a box outside door on rampway with my pieces!! Crazy business! Box was actually inside entrance behind alocked door! I called her, she arrived 5 minutes later at 5:45pm, as she was "just around the corner" she said . At this point I was past frustrated and informed her it was the worst business transaction I had ever had. Pointed out the several lies, miscommunication, unanswered calls/messages, and poor customer service she had given. While standing outside in a dark parking lot, she was trying to hand me a box with my party pieces. I informed her that I preferred to inspect the pieces to be sure all of them were in the box as Christmas was days away and some items were intended to be gifts. She seemed miffed, informed me she had checked twice to be sure everything was in box....obviously offended, she opened the shop so I could confirm I had all of the items. We proceeded inside and while I was checking to be sure all attendee pieces were in box, she walked away to attend to a phone call (store was not even open) and left me at the counter. Never ONCE did she apologize for her various lies, miscommunication, failure me meet me as scheduled/agreed for pickup or offer any solutionfor all of my inconveniencs.....Clearly my business was not important, my time had no value to her,, and she has poor business sense.. I would not suggest this place of business to anyone! Owner is only in it for $$. Terrible customer experience. I would not even give owner a 1-star.

I'd give it more stars if possible! I just celebrated my birthday there with 10 other friends and…read morewe had the BEST time. There's a room in the back that was set up for my group and Melissa was more than accommodating and helpful. We painted pottery; they have hundreds of options to choose from and in the front of the shop was a hand throwing class going on...which reminds me, my friends and I will be going back to attend one of those! You can have a paint and sip party with pottery or canvas. They're seriously the best and the pricing is good, not crazy like most places I've read up on. OH AND! It's BYOB :D which my guy friends were thrilled about. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Thank you again Endless Creations for a wonderful b-day celebration!

Definitely stop in!

Like many small towns I've visited before and grew up in there is always a store that sells…read morehandmade crafts. What makes this store better then most of the others is the variety and craftsmanship that can be seen throughout. It also doesn't hurt that you are greeted by the happiest and sweetest dog there upon entering the store. The store itself was beautifully maintained and organized. It had a flow to it that just drew you to ever corner. From the front display of handcrafted metal worked lights to the far back of the store's amazingly knitted coats and hats there is something for everyone to see and purchase for a country home. There is a wide variety of kitchen items such as cutting boards and cheese knives that match with the wood fire glazed pottery. Across from the pottery and kitchen items was a knitting selection of mushrooms and other out there figurines such as fish and sock monkeys. But, the crown jewel of the store in my opinion has to be the jewelry. These items which ranged from necklaces to ear piercings are all handcrafted and beautifully worked. Every case had the name of the crafter on it and the store owner could provide you with more info upon request. Overall this is 1 of 2 stores that should be on everyone's must view list when visiting the town of Woodstock, VT.

My eye was more drawn to the Historical Marker in front and then I had to stop and check inside…read more The marker reads, "Old Stone Shop. Built in 1848, by Batcheller & Sons, makers of pitchforks. For many years after 1808, farm implements were manufactured here. Lyman Batcheller & his sons bought the forge in 1835, and their forks became famous throughout the U.S. and Europe. In 1902 they merged with the firm making True Temper products, which re-built the Inn." The marker was erected in 1949 by the Vermont Historic Sites Commission. Inside, not just farm implements but jewelry and toys and furniture and cutting boards and glassware and pottery. It's just amazing to see all of this stuff that is, well, hand made in Vermont.

The Village Green Gallery serves a great niche in Weston. For tourists: The town is in a deadzone for internet, and the cafe offers tables to sit at to check your email. Only, the connection is unreliable in the 6+ times I've visited over the past 2 years. I find the prices for coffee and light pastries to be very expensive, and the service not that great, although there is careful attention paid to keep it all local. In comparison to the tsotchke knick-knacks of the Vermont Country Store and the Weston Village Store, the fine crafted pottery, jewelry, glasswork, and photographs are a breath of fresh air. All the pieces, while expensive, are truly a sight to behold. And there are a handful of intentionally lower-priced items like note cards and glass rings for sale, too. For locals: the Fuji'is host the Weston Film Club for monthly viewings and discussions on foreign and independent films. They also host a book club and open up the space for other community meetings. I highly recommend a viewing (usually during the week) of the Film Club. Pop in to browse! The location right on the West Village Green can't be beat! While this is a favorite, I treat it more like a museum to view the artwork, as there's little there that I can afford there and I've never been wowed by the hospitality of Mrs. Fuji, who's usually behind the counter of the cafe. Look elsewhere for food. Look no further if you need to check your email and want to be inspired by the artwork.
