We wanted to do something different for our work team outing and we landed on going to Hot Shop…read moreGlass! We had an appoint for 6 PM and 4 people total. It was hot and humid this day so the shop was pretty hot but that is what was expected. The owner and the other glass maker were running the workshop. The did a great job of explaining the entire process, the equipment , and more ipmortantntly safety. It was easy to follow but rest assured, they will remind you about everything they reviewed. As we sat at the table, their were exampples of the products we can make. 3 od 4 selected a paper weight and 1 wanted to make a gazing ball. The forst thing we did as a group was pick colors that goes into the glass. Then we went one by one and and the glass makers were very thorough on the the process and helped along the way. There were times, we just handled the process. Hewas very good on safety and keeping an eye on us. The glass get as hot as lava. After you are done, they put in in an area to set. You will need to pick it uo next day. The overall price iwas high but s what I expected to pay. It was really about team bonding and not getting burned - lol. Kidding asise, I'd do it again and if you wanted to try, I recommend going here!

Gary will greet you there and show you a variety of samples based on what you need. It's helpful to have a concept ahead of time so he can help you to narrow things down, he'll give you some friendly advice on stocks and appearance... just ask him! Luckily I knew exactly what I wanted and after a brief show and tell, I gave him some info and he emailed me a couple days later with a price quote. After that, it's a simple matter of sending him the files he needs, and he goes to work! When I got my new business cards, I was ecstatic. Literally turned out exactly like I had hoped. The quality is miles ahead of VistaPrint, so be prepared to pay a decent amount of money, but for the quality of what you get in return it is well worth it. High recommendation.

Fantastic. Absolutely flawless service!…read more We had our wedding invitations printed here - they do letterpress, offset printing, thermography, embossing, debossing - etc. We had our invites letterpressed - and they came out perfect. I found AccuColor through a recommendation, as they do alot of unique business cards. I contacted Gary on a Friday afternoon and went over to the shop to learn more about their process, take a look at papers and get some pricing information. We spent about an hour talking about options, paper stock etc. Gary showed us several samples of everything from letterpress foil to letterpress with one color. Everything was stunning. His advice was exactly was we needed - and got answers to every question we could imagine plus some. They carry a wide variety of in-house stocks & envelopes - which makes the process much more economical, and less timing consuming. It's hard to find a printer that has such a wide range of papers that they have on hand. From the moment we contacted Gary at Accucolor to picking up the invitations the process was seamless - they know what they are doing here - with genuine customer service, delivering a magnificent product and the best pricing I have EVER found for this kind of printing. If you are in need of invitations, stationary, menus, anything - contact Accucolor - they were a delight to work with and I will definitely be back here.

Went here with my fiance on a Thursday afternoon/evening. I thought it would be something fun for…read moreboth of us. I didn't know how right I would be. Maria greeted us warmly as soon as we entered the door. We explained we were first-timers at their event but both of us had "dabbled" with ceramics YEARS ago. Short enough time to remember enjoying it, long enough to forget everything else. She did a great job of explaining how all the pieces had prices on the bottom and how many coats were suggested. She even walked my fiance through placing an emblem on his mug. The music from the 70's/80's in the background was quite calming and allowed us to get in our painting mode quickly. I had to apologize every now and then to the other customers for singing along. I can't help myself. Every now and then we'd be "interrupted" to replace our dirty water (from cleaning our brushes) and check on how we were doing. Another gentleman started working but his name tag was broken (they're ceramic tiles!!!) so I can't recall his name but I do recall he was very nice and informative as well. I called to see if my pieces were ready the day before we were due to pick them up since I was going to be in the area. I would have been ok if they weren't since I was just trying to save an extra trip. Lucky for me, they were done and ready for me to pick up. I love how both pieces turned out. I wasn't sure what to expect given my "mostly a beginner" status but it's not a piece I'll have to hide from others. :) My only "complaint" is that it doesn't stay open later. I work outside of town and would love to stop in after work but two hours doesn't seem long enough for me to work on a piece. It probably is. I just like to know I have enough time. If you're thinking about going, go. It's a fun stop, you'll be able to relax, and have a souvenir from your trip there. Will be trying to attend one of their events in the future. :)

I was able to pick out the pieces for painting and in the kit they gave directions and samples to show the kids. Once we brought it back it only took a week to get the fired pieces back! They even separated them and packaged them per child so I didn't have to look through and try to do that myself! They did all of the work for me! It was also a lot of fun for the kids, I will definitely be giving business to them in the future!

The motors started it up and when I tried to fly it ended up going straight to the ground so the propellers broke. No issue for me so I just said Ill take it. Before they closed they gave me a day to test everything out to make sure everything worked and even now when they reopend the worker there told me if there is an issue, bring it back and we will give you a refund. Turns out to be that the controller only stayed on with the charger plugged in and didnt charge at all. When I go back the next day to get a refund(as I was told would happen) the owner over the phone told me they cant give a refund and hung up. I tried asking if the worker could contact his boss again so we can work something out but just told him he cant talk he is too busy. I woukd think if a customer for your business is needing help with an issue you would find some time. Honestly not the best experience at all and that issue needs to be fixed if a person finds a problem with an item and if they were told they can bring it back they should stick on their word.
