That was pretty cool. And the staff person working was really nice. There are lots of different colors and patterns to use, and they will help you out if you ask. I saw a chihuahua and immediately had to paint it. They have lots of different animals, which I was hoping for. I couldn't find many pictures of what they had online so I took a bunch while I was there. They also have plates and pottery that you can make. I think the piece I got was like $15, so with the studio fee and tax, it was like $21. I really don't think that's bad, and I had a lot of fun doing it. For the people that have complained about the pricing on here, I think it's pretty fair. They supply the paint and brushes that you need, and then they clean everything up for you. There are some really big pieces that are $50, so that would get expensive, but I would think it most cases that would be a one time thing. It would be nice is if you could leave with your piece, and add glitter or rhinestones and stuff to it. When I was little I used to go to a place like this in a different state, and they had more stuff you could add, and you got to go home with your figurine. Here you have a to wait a week and go pick it up. So if the location is out of your way, you need to go out of your way again. Still fun though, and I'd definitely go again. There's tons of things you can make, and it's a fun and different activity for a night out.

Came here for some items I found online for work, bright red buckets for a great price. I was…read moresurprised at how big this place is. It was just after Halloween, so there were one section of marked down fall and Halloween decorations. Then it was aisles upon aisles of Christmas ornaments, lights, trees, stocking and any decoration you could imagine. I loved how organized everything was, each section by product ..even down to the color. Walking around the store was interesting, from the different art sections, frames to the many wooden signs. (seemed they had a sign for everyone) I needed some help finding the red buckets online, a nice salesman walked be right over to them. Really to have the extra service. Seemed like everything was a marked at a good price. I will have to come back to check out all the different seasonal items.

I am a lifelong crafter and I have been sleeping on Dan's! There is so much available at this…read morestore. My husband and I took our niece here, and I think she had more fun just looking around than actually picking out things to buy. There are huge sections of Legos, models, craft kits, games, toys, beads, painting supplies, and even stuff for babies. My niece got a coloring book, pastel colored pencils, a game with sparkly fish, and a little plastic helicopter. My husband even got some super glue that he needed for work. Nothing was terribly priced, and the staff was helpful and friendly. I have been trying to fit more crafts into my life as a relaxing hobby, and I think I'll have to visit Dan's again to pick up a craft kit. It's a fun place to just browse too.

For years now I have been adding to my Pottery Pinterest board... and one of the first artisans I…read morefollowed was Katy. I found out that Katy's creations were actually sold out of East Main Clay so I reached out to Katy and she kindly sent me photos of what they had in stock. I wish I would have taken more photos but I bought items for the Housewarming Baskets I was doing for Emancipated Foster Youth and I treated myself to this planter recently. The item was packed very well and shipped quickly. The customer service is always kind and patient as there is a 3-hour time difference. You can always check out their current inventory on their Instagram account. I wished that some of our local gift shops would carry their items. Respectfully Reviewed.

Potential students beware. It seems to be all about the money!…read more I registered and paid for a stained-glass class at Studio 34 through the Rochester Brainery for $295. The class was supposed to have been taught by a world-renowned glass artist, and the class description read that it included all the glass and all materials except for protective eyewear. On the first day of class, the instructor, who was not the professional glass artist listed in the course description, had us look through bins of glass scraps after we'd decided on a pre-approved design. While I found some pieces I could use, I could not find green or blue glass that matched and/or were large enough for the design. The instructor looked too, couldn't find any, then brought out some sheets of glass for me to choose from. At no point was there a mention of having to pay more for the glass. When I showed up the following week, I was told that I had to pay for the green and blue glass I'd picked out the week before. I objected, and the instructor said I had to call the owner, who said that the bins had copious amounts of glass for the projects. They did not. They were inadequately stocked. I was not the only one having difficulty finding glass. Every student had trouble. The owner said that my options were to pay for the glass or take a refund for the class. I will not be forced into paying for glass that was supposed to be included in the class cost so I took the refund. If there was an additional cost to the glass, that should have been said upfront when the sheets were brought out by the instructor. And it turns out that this class does not even provide the finishing piece so we couldn't actually hang our stained-glass projects. We could only leanthem against a window. The finishing piece is part of another class and this was not mentioned in the course description. Another class and more money to finish one piece. When a course description says we're going to be instructed by a glass master, I expect that it will be unless I'm notified in advance that it's not the case and offered a chance to opt-out at that time. When a course description says the class includes the materials, I expect to be able to find glass that I can use to create an integrated piece, rather than random scraps that result in a mismatched mess. The only other option offered was to open my wallet and pay more.

I have not taken any of the classes but I have worked with the owner and met a handful of the…read moreinstructors. I have also sat in on a class to see how it works. The studio is located on the second floor of a multifunctional historical building in the Neighborhood of the Arts. When you come to the studio don't be afraid to knock on the door... just walk in. They keep the door closed because of the a breeze that can sometimes effect the art work going on inside. All of the staff members I met were super friendly and professional. I came to the studio with no experience in any of the art they offered and absolute no knowledge. Marilynne and her instructors are excellent teachers and truly care to make your experience special. The class size I sat in on was a glass fusion class. If you don't know what that is(which I didn't before I stopped in) it's where you cut colored pieces of class and place them on a big piece of glass. Once you get your desired arrangement it then gets put in a furnace and melts into an awesome piece of art, just the way you arranged it. The class was a small class size, 4 people total. The instructor gave the students great instruction, then let them get creative. She offered pointers and answered questions along the way. I look forward to signing up for some of the hot glass classes. Also, it's important to note that Studio 34 repairs jewelry. So if you have a favorite piece that needs mending whether its glass, beads, or metal...stop in here!

Great experience with an employee at the custom framing center. I enjoyed the open layout of this…read moreframing center compared to other Michaels locations I've visited. The counter is open with bar stools surrounding the space. This set up allowed me to pull up a chair and discuss my framing needs with the employee. She was knowledgeable and broke down all the costs for us. The breakdown and detail of the work going into our framing is what sold me on having it completed here vs just doing it ourselves. I did not get her name but she was a wonderful representative with in depth knowledge on the services available. We got a great deal on the frames as the store was doing a buy one get two free sale which worked perfectly as we had 3 prints. Very happy with the cost and feel it is a great value for what we paid.

Horrific customer service at this store from Noreen "team member since 2021". Literally appalling…read morethe attitude I received for zero reason. Needed more products that they had right at checkout but absolutely refused to give them another dime of my money. Received a shadow box I ordered online for my husbands Christmas gift completely shattered. Okay, no one's fault. Lug my infant and this huge box to the store to try to exchange it so it didn't happen again in shipping and wouldn't be here in time. Nothing is available in the store so I want a refund for their damaged product. Noreen right from the start gives a ton of attitude about the receipt when I kindly explain I barely even opened the box because I could see and hear it was shattered. Told her whatever it came with is in there and also called up the two email receipts so she didn't have to cut her hand digging around. Very rudely again was told that wasn't the receipt and she needed the upc code. So we just looked at each other until I realized she genuinely wasn't going to return this. I asked for the manager. Long story short they tried to say you apparently can't return things ordered from Michael's online in the store but "if you process the return online, print the label, close up the box, and bring it to that store we will ship it back." Like what!?! Then process it now and do that. Only gave me the 29 bucks for the frame not the shipping cost and had to fight to not have it on a gift card and to get a refund on my cc. So now I have no gift, no product, drove 44 mins total with my infant to be treated poorly and still out 13 bucks. Won't be purchasing from here ever again... Hobby Lobby is right next door. Probably should be kinder.
