She takes you through the steps of making an aroma filled candle. We choose our vessels, I picked a white ceramic one and there are wood vessels for an additional cost, we sampled an array of scented oils to pick, I went for the amazing smelling "golden hour", then we blended oil and wax, and added a wick. We then picked our dried flowers to add to the edge of our candle, let it set and wait two weeks before lighting. Ashley gave us care instructions and we can recycle our candle vessels by bringing the empty candle holder back to use for another class, with a half off discount. Classes are about an hour in half to two hours, drinks sold to wet your whistle, and they have collaborative workshops with other creators. The total for the class I took was $60.24. Well worth it!

I recently saw an old email from them and I decided to reach out. Rachel, the new owner, called me that same day and expressed how sorry she was that happened. She offered for me to have another birthday workshop and she did not charge the people that signed up last year. She even bought pizzas and salad for the celebration. She went well above and beyond. She was so nice and responsive if I had any questions/issues before the event. I will be definitely coming back for another project!! Thanks Rachel!

Amazing customer service from start to finish. The team was attentive, knowledgeable, and truly…read morecared about every detail of my pieces. I honestly don't understand why people complain about the pricethis is an investment in something you'll have forever, and the quality absolutely reflects that. The attention to detail they put into framing each item is beautiful in itself. You can tell real craftsmanship and pride go into their work. I couldn't be happier with the final result and will definitely be back with future art pieces.

Way Up Art and Frame has great service and attention to detail…read more We had wanted an international threading artwork to be framed with a single mat and outlined frame to put on top of the fireplace, but didn't know where to start. Way Up had pre-selected and well-priced deluxe packages (for labor, framing, mats, and glass casing) to choose from which made the process much easier. You can also go outside of the pricing packages for more customization but we had no need to go to that extent. The framing was done in a timely manner and I received good notification when it was done! To add to the level of service, a week after hanging my painting on the wall, it seemed to have slipped the nail one night and fell, severely chipping the based of the frame. The nail positioning was my own mistake; I was shocked and worried about having to pay again for the full frame. I took it back in to Way Up, explained the situation, and Sierra and the team did an amazing job re-framing it in less than a week and at a small fraction of the original cost. I will definitely be thinking of Way Up Art and Frame for my future artwork and framing needs!

Her glass selection is excellent and her instruction is incredibly helpful. I am so glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews of this studio. My 12 year old daughter and I signed up for the beginner stained glass course. It did take us longer than the 6 weeks to finish our pieces but I wasn't mad because the website warned me it might take longer and the owner also warned me when we picked the pieces we did. The finished products were well worth the time. My daughter and I had so much fun and learned a lot. My daughter has now finished two pieces. I finished a window panel and am now starting my second piece. I will definitely continue coming back here to learn this beautiful craft. This is the place you want to go if you want to learn how to work with glass.

The shop also offers knitting classes as well as classes for open sewing, knitting, and crocheting. The shop carries yarn, fabric, and notions.

My friend and I took the beginning crochet class with Angelica. We both had experience knitting…read morebut wanted to try crochet. The class was 4 hours over 2 Mondays. The fee $75, included a skeen of cotton yarn. We needed to provide our own hooks. The project we were making was a headband. Only one person completed it. The first day there were 8 students and the instructor had an aide. If there hadn't been an aide I feel there would have been too many students for a beginners class. Some of the students demanded a lot of the instructor's time. It was difficult to get clarification. The second day there were only 5 of us and just the instructor. The instructor had to spend a lot of time with a couple of students but she was more available on this day. She helped me with my stitches and showed us how they could be used in projects. Her one-on-one demonstrations were critical to my learning. I give 5 stars for Angelica, her knowledge, teaching ability and patience. I think $75 was high for the value.

Sounds like a small thing, but for our family, it's a big deal. Second, we've gotten several things framed here, both custom and not. We were here this week to pick up some standard size frames, and we never fail to find attractive options. The frames have been moved to make way for the new Joann Fabric section, but that's fine. Third, they transitioned to a system where everyone does self-checkout, but if you have Michaels rewards or coupons, or both, there is always someone there to help you navigate. We want to recognize Zen for helping us maximize our savings this past visit.
