I've been to Craftopia a couple different times now, but the girls and myself went to her new…read morelocation for the first time the other day for her candle making class. It was great. The place is really big, easy to find with a nice big sign right on the building and parking right in front. Has a lot of different rooms and a lot of art displayed in each. I loved walking around everywhere and looking at it, it was definitely encouraging us to want to come back and partake in even more classes she has to offer! Cora was even nice enough to give us one of the pieces that she had done that the three of us liked the best. Definitely recommend this place and we'll be back soon! Thanks Cora!

Cora was really good at explaining our options and helping us make our selections. Her space is very welcoming and cozy, I appreciated how she was available for questions and assistance but also gave us free rein to pick and choose scents/colors/materials. For the class fee, you really get a lot out of the lesson time, definitely worth coming to a class and I look forward to coming to some of the other classes in the future!

I was so lucky to visit my very first GLASS PUMPKIN Patch! Every item is so unique and beautifully…read morecrafted. I was getting delighted, each time you though a pumpkin was gorgeous and held it in the sun it changed to even deeper or brighter colors, it was just stunning. There are many shapes, standard round pumpkin, lay down pumpkin, gourd shapes were my favorite, mushrooms, starfish and ornaments. Normally this is a Tacoma Washington shop BUT this was their ninth season in f holding the glass pumpkin patch in Lincoln City. I can't wait to go to their shop and make something. Glass pumpkin patch! Patrick Cahill, co-owner of Area 253 Glassblowing was happy to pose for a quick photo shoot. I love the yellow pumpkin I am holding, it looked like a lemony dream, exuding happiness and warmth, just waiting to come home and spend the holidays with me.

So tucked behind the Human Society is a great little studio for those who want to go & try their hand at something new, those who want to create & those that want to explore. This is not the usual #sip&paint experience, it is more. Now, I suggest that you go in the daylight to find it the 1st time, wear something comfortable & be prepared to be inspired. I participated in the Love Letters to Self class and met some really nice ladies. This is a safe place to be yourself, to compliment & encourage others. Big shout out to Nadine for extending hospitality and ginger snaps! No doubt, I'll be back for more classes.

The items need to set and are not available for pick up until a week later, so they were able to ship our finished products to us (as we are out of state) for an affordable, additional fee. I have continuously raved on about this experience and have recommended it to all my friends who have even considered visiting Seattle. We are extremely satisfied with how the designs turned out and the customer service provided by Ricky. This is such a fun experience for a neat souvenir! Not only do you play a key role in creating something, you also can shop around for pre-made glass pieces. Please do not miss the opportunity to check this place out!

I also wouldn't be surprised if I find him featured in newspapers or pottery websites someday. In terms of learning, Phi's methods and his attentiveness are encouraging. For any one who think pottery is easy, it isn't. I've spent 6 hours in the studio and I still can't find my center. It's important to put in the work and I don't think it can be done without a teacher. There are some pitfalls that only an experienced potter could tell you. Having access to a full studio with a knowledgeable instructor is a must. Even wedging or hand building comes with special technique because clay itself has its attitude. In any case, this is a great studio and they also have a firing service. It's also located in a garage so if you're worried about the virus, air circulation here is good. Mask and social distancing are also respected. Great positive environment. Parking is decent. Be prepared to get dirty should you decide to join Phi weekly. Sign up sheets and contact information will be disclosed (by email) once you signed up for BIPOC wheel time and lessons.
