FIRST OF ALL, THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THE IN-STORE PICKUP SERVICE…read more Arrived at the curbside pick-up spot, checked in on my phone as "I have arrived", the screen showed "We are on our way". Then 15 minutes passed, no one showed up and I was in a hurry to get to another place. So I walked in and got in line, the cashier was totally not aware of my arrival and simply said sorry and gave me my order. Not sincere enough. Walking out the store with a strong disappointment. Not sure if I would ever come here for another in-store pickup.

Tim worked with us and was able to pull another team member, Hector, in to unlock the markers we so desperately needed. i very much appreciate the service provided and Tim was wonderful under an intense atmosphere. be advised, michael's offers online coupons! google michael's coupons and they often have 20-30% off one full priced item available to scan in store. we walked out with $15 markers having paid $11 hooraaay! amazing value!

I took an Introduction to Macrame Weaving class last week at Craft. I have been an Art Teacher for…read more10 years and was very excited to learn some new skills to teach the young ones. The class was scheduled for 2 hours. We ended an hour early with an end product that was a bit underwhelming. Our instructor was friendly enough, though never introduced herself nor took the time to ask the class (all 3 of us) our names. I wrote a letter to the owner and never got a response back. Highly unlikely I will return. Below is the letter I sent, including a few other underwhelming aspects to the class: "Hello! I took last evening's Macrame Weaving workshop. As I was driving back to Long Beach last evening after the class, I had some time to reflect on the workshop. I signed up for it to learn a new skill that I could potentially teach my students. (I've been an Art Teacher for many years). Unfortunately, I feel very disappointed with the class as a whole, as well as with our end result product. I believe the owner was there last evening; I regret not having pulled her aside to chat, though I wasn't quite clear on how I felt about the class until I was on my ride home. Our instructor was very friendly and I so appreciate the use of the high quality organic cotton cord. I also appreciated the hand out with the images of various knot styles. However, I don't even know what our instructor's name was. She never introduced herself or asked our names - there were only two other participants besides myself. We ended class nearly an hour early. This feels like a waste of project making and learning time. Either the project we did was too simple or our instructor wasn't thoroughly prepared. Her instruction was okay, though I don't think it is very helpful to physically do something for the student which she did a number of times. I believe it is more helpful to walk them through it verbally while allowing them to do it to experience the motions and acquire muscle memory. Craft is a great space! I wanted to share my thoughts because I think the class I took last evening could be improved upon for future students. Thank you for reading, Ivette"

We are so happy to find this place just right time because we were looking for a one week summer…read morecamp for our kids 9 and 7yrs old. We registered 5 weeks summer camp mainly in Pasadena, but it started a week after summer vacation so we had to find something for them and Thank God! Yes, it was the answer. Even my son who didn't want to go to the "Craft Class" just loved the full week. They provided all materials, snacks and games with very good price. We highly recommend people who live in local area just check this place out. They have fun things for kids and adults as well.

Today we originally planned to buy ready-made crystal bracelets, but by chance we ended up at a DIY…read morecrystal shop. It was our first time, and the owner patiently showed us around and explained everything. The whole experience of making our own bracelet was smooth and enjoyable. Whenever we had questions, the owner kindly guided us and gave us suggestions. At one point, my boyfriend accidentally messed up a tray of decorations. The owner didn't scold or charge him--she was totally understanding. He was so scared though! She even gave us a small gift and let us choose and assemble our own crystal bracelet. It was such a fun and thoughtful experience!

I booked a same-day appointment early in the morning after looking for something fun for my kids to…read moredo. Our reservation was for 1:30 p.m., and we arrived a little early to make sure we could find the place without rushing. When we got there, no one was there. Since it's an appointment-only studio, I completely understood that they aren't open for walk-ins. I called the number on the door, and the person I spoke with confirmed they would be there shortly--about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it ended up being closer to 30 minutes before someone arrived. By then, my girls were getting restless and were ready to leave. The only reason I waited it out was because I had read about the cancellation fee on their website and didn't want to risk being charged. Once we got inside, though, the experience completely turned around. The shop owner was incredibly patient with my girls, walking them through their decoden creations and making sure they had everything they needed. They genuinely had a great time, and it was a fun, creative activity that kept them engaged. There was one more hiccup at checkout--they initially charged us the additional sitting fee per person because they hadn't realized we had already booked an appointment. Thankfully, they caught the mistake afterward and promptly refunded the extra charge, which I appreciated. Would I come back? Maybe. The activity itself was a lot of fun, and the customer service during the crafting experience was warm and attentive. However, the delayed opening and the confusion over our reservation made the visit feel a little disorganized. If the appointment process were smoother, I'd be much more inclined to return.

I love these charms! They have so many to choose from! You definitely need to check them!!!read more

[Parking]: Easy and free designated parking for the plaza and our party had no issue finding an available spot on Saturday afternoon. [Products]: Most of the stickers are original artwork with only a few anime IPs (less than 1/8 of all stickers). I thought their LA County stickers (including some cities from San Bernardino County) for each city were pretty neat. The shop also has some decent Japanese-brand notebooks, toolboxes, pens, etc. Customers can also make their own through the website by uploading their own images (minimum order of 50 stickers). [Conclusion]: The store is not everyone's cup of tea, but for the right target customers this is an amazing store.
