The customer service was lacking. We arrived and stood at the desk. After several minutes, someone…read morefinally decided they should help us and told us to write down the pottery. We plan to paint and that they would set us up. So we walked around, I had not been to paint pottery in about eight years so you could consider me a novice. We found the pieces that we wanted and waited for further instruction. 15 minutes later someone finally decided they should help us again. This is after we stood at the counter, waiting to pay for our item and point out the item that we wanted to paint. At that time we learned we were supposed to pick up the item go sit at a table, and the utensils would be brought to us. We grabbed our items and sat at the table where we had water in a jar and two sponges and a laminated paper with instructions. We then went to pick the paint brushes we thought would fit our project and were told that we needed to select our own paints. No instruction on how to select the paint, luckily my sister, who is with me, helped me figure out what to grab, and how much I could grab. With what I painted, I required more paint, but the three women were so enthralled in a conversation with a gentleman at the counter, they did not come check on us to see what we needed. I finally said loudly excuse me can I get some help and someone came over. This young girl came over and offered to bring me more paint after I explained. I ran out of paint and did not know what to do with the empty paint container because none of it was explained to me and my sister decided to go get me more paint. After the young girl walked away I heard her say this is not my job. Terrible customer service! Also, no one explained to me the process of the painting, again novice at this, and I wasn't sure if I cleaned my brush on the sponges or use the water. When we were finally done with our paintings, we sat wondering what to do next. My sister decided she would stay at the table in case we did not need to bring our painted work to the front and I went to the front counter to let them know we were done. The woman said you were supposed to bring it up to the counter and pay for it now. Thanks for more instruction that you never gave, but apparently I was supposed to know. This was a terrible experience. If I could give zero stars, that's probably what I would give.

The best part about this Gallery, is that the artists are here to greet you, and they are super friendly. They also offer classes to strengthen your own art skills, from beginner to advanced levels. They also offer layaway and the art is very affordable. They also have a wide selection with hundreds and hundreds of pieces to choose from. I'm particularly fond of Gail and Marlyn.

Plenty of natural light and offerings ranging from photography to impressive oil paintings make this spot a must visit. We were greeted warmly upon entering and I chatted with the knowlegable and friendly volunteer long enough to learn that they offer First Friday events with music, food and beverages and a chance to meet the artists of some of the work. While I didn't see anything I absolutely loved this trip aside from a few photographic pieces, this will be on my 'must stop' list in future visits to SC to see what new offerings they may have. How refreshing to see local art displayed alongside the usual mall findings in the Village! Great idea!!

Unless there was a moment of safety, he would let us do everything. Other than gathering the glass on the blow pipe, he was true to his word. His manner of teaching was one of the best that anyone could ever ask for. He was kind in how he spoke, he was direct in his instruction. Because of his directness, which was as polite as anyone could hope for, we all knew what he and Ryan (other instructor) wanted from us. Tommy's demeanor is the reason that I will be back to the store and future classes. Customer service is at its greatest when one can ask a question and get an answer that explains everything.

Besides being incredibly fun and satisfying, our session morphed into a Native American drum and card pulling experience. It was much needed therapy for both of us and I am thrilled that we'll have visual reminders of how special the evening was. We'll be back for more, for sure! P.S. Your experience doesn't have to be "woo-woo/spiritual" -- we were open to it. Make sure to go if you are too! If not, that's cool -- they'll keep it "normal" for you. ;-)

I always thought that it was just a frame shop (yes, I know, I', an idiot,) but when I walked in, I was shocked when I saw so many pieces of beautiful artwork! I was shocked to see so many pieces of high-quality art sitting in a shop in Columbia, SC! Whether you're Christian or not, they had a lot of art pieces featuring Mary and Baby Jesus, which I found to be amazing! They also had a lot of really cool beach landscapes, which I didn't expect to see! The customer service was also amazing, where the employee on shift explained what the shop was all about, offered to answer any questions, and made himself available throughout my entire trip! My best piece of advice: don't be an idiot like me and think that this shop just sells picture frames; please stop in and see all of the amazing pieces of artwork! I promise you won't regret it!

I take the artwork to her, she puts it on a worktable and the magic begins. I consider her an artist in her own right. There is a lot to consider when framing art. Picking the perfect color, design, size, etc. Then what kind of mat, the size, color and how it surrounds the artwork. Also, what kind of glass is of utmost importance in how the finished item will present the art. If the wrong glass is used it may not protect the artwork, cause a reflection, distorting how you perceive the art.
