My husband and I teamed up for a 5ft single board sign. It turned out so awesome!! The instructor guided us, helped us, and was there for suggestions as we went. We will for sure be doing this again. So many neat possibilities, and I learned so much too! My favorite part was how one piece could be a team effort between my husband and I. It's nice not having to pay per person as with other painting places. Highly suggest this place, and don't forget to BYOB!!! Makes it that much more fun!

Imagine similar vendors from First Friday events, Farmers Market, and/or a Swap Meet, but within a store and opened 7 days a week. There are a variety of different items sold here such as paintings, clothing, kettle popcorn, jewelry, and many more. Every item you purchase here, supports these small local businesses. We bought a few things including some Churro flavored kettle popcorn which were delicious and reasonably priced. You can easily miss this store because it's a bit hard to see if you're driving by because of the trees blocking the store sign which is "Love Local." It's NOT located within the main building entrance on 28th Street, but off to the side closer to 29th Street. The front door is on Main Street. Staff member, Belinda is super friendly and helpful. She had a lot of knowledge about the other vendors and their merchandise. The flavored kettle popcorn is her business. The parking lot are small and there are 2 different ones on each side of the building. I don't recall seeing a restroom nearby, perhaps within other parts of the building.

Every time I've needed assistance, they have been knowledgeable, friendly and helped me quickly resolve my issue. I am treated like a valued customer and they greet me when I enter the store and thank me when I leave. They are one of the reasons that I enjoy shopping at Michael's. They should be commended for their outstanding service!

I'm a lover of the Michaels chain and have been a long time customer. Unfortunately it appears they…read moreare not keeping up with their standards. This particular Michaels was in disarray with carts full of product sitting in multiple aisles. I only saw one employee. Usually there are more and are available if you need assistance. The saddest part for me personally was the only available checkouts were self checkouts. Of course mine was the one that didn't work and No one was there to assist. This is unacceptable. This is not a reflection on all Michael's locations, for me it only applies to this one. They can do better especially in a busy college town.

I'm still gushing after my private pottery lesson with Amanda. I heard about her classes from a…read moreflyer on a community board, I am so happy I followed-up. For $99, I got a 2-hour (well, 2.5 hour) private lesson with Amanda, where I learned how to throw on a wheel and even had the opportunity to create my own piece. Amanda herself is very warm, talented, and a great teacher. She was very encouraging during more challenging parts and stepped in to save the piece. She took the time to teach me certain concepts and terms. The experience felt like learning from an expert friend. A nice touch, too, was that she offered to take photos as I worked on the wheel. At first, I was not very interested, but there is now awesome documentation of my work, including some amusing videos. If video/photos are not your jam, you certainly don't have to do it. But I am grateful that she suggested it because I wouldn't have these awesome pictures as a nice souvenir. I ultimately made 2 pieces. For an extra $15, Amanda will glaze and fire your piece, which you can pick up about a month later. Such a unique, fun experience. I'd highly recommend checking out her studio and lessons.

Wow! I did my wedding invitations here and was so impressed. Who would've thought that such a…read moresmall place in Bryan would have so much? I believe they're the only Crane dealer in College Station/Bryan and we just happened to go in on a whim after eating at the lovely Madden's (see my review of their restaurant). This (plus my wedding dress) was my favorite part of my wedding. Since my husband and I were both English majors in college, we wanted our invitations to really have an "us" feel to them. Boo worked with us in creating the perfect invitation for our style--very art deco. We'd gone through a billion ideas and nixed each of them one by one, but she stayed patient and helpful to the end. I still get compliments on my invitations and it has been over a year since the wedding. I got a bunch of extra blank cards with our specialized monogram for thank you notes, and I actually got thank you notes, for my thank you notes! I'm sure she has more affordable items in her store, but after we fell in love with the Crane's invites, we couldn't look at anything else. I definitely recommend that you work with her. She's very down to earth and will tell you if you're spending money on unimportant things. Also, she knows so much about wording and can help with even crazy family situations/titles on the invitations!
