    Four mugs that made.

    I started taking wheel-throwing classes at Clay Work Studio in Summer 2023, and became immediately hooked on making pottery. This place is a special community of warm and welcoming potters with various levels and types of experiences. Lee is an outstanding head teacher and owner, and leads a team of skilled instructors in wheel-throwing, hand building, surface design, and more. The regular potters have become my friends, and I'm forever grateful that I have this place to create beautiful and functional pieces. You do not need any experience or tools--everything is provided for you here. I highly recommend that if you were ever ceramic-curious, take a class at Clay Work Studio!

    Attended one class for fun while visiting Ann Arbor for the first time. Lee was a great, patient teacher. He let us use as much clay as we want, no timing restriction, and made sure we had fun (and not go home empty-handed)-- note that it takes some days for the clay to dry and glazed before you can take them home. I highly recommend taking classes at his studio! If I live in Ann Arbor, I definitely would!

    Stopped by here yesterday for the first time. I thought it was a new shop although the cashier said…read morethey've been around for quite a while. They have really cute gifty type merchandise. When I walked in, I saw some coasters and I immediately recognized the artist - it was from Polka Dot Mitten in Saugatuck (I had just been to that store and bought one a few weeks ago), which was fun. They're also doing a promotion with some Main Street restaurants right now, if you purchase something there and then show the slip of paper at the restaurant, you get $10 off your next meal there. And vice versa, if you go to the restaurant, and then show the slip of paper at the store, you get 20% off one item. I ended up getting a cute owl type figurine for my mom, it was about $10 which was reasonable. Cute store and I will stop by next time I'm in Ann Arbor.

    A bit of roaming in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan to sightsee the sights and see the University of…read moreMichigan campus. So much blue and gold here. I needed souvenirs to buy for my co-workers back home and I didn't want to just hit up the airport gift shop on my way out. I wanted to support local businesses who make vintage quality souvenir magnets - similar to what you'd find at the airport but not at the airport. I was with my friend on a brisk Friday evening and we stumbled upon this place. We had asked around for souvenir shops in the vicinity, but ended up here at Roeda Studios. They actually had what I wanted here and thankful that I didn't have to go all over Ann Arbor to get it. In hindsight, Detroit airport didn't have much anyway and I was glad that I came here for souvenirs. We entered around 6pm, exhausted after searching through 3 nearby shops. When the cashier told us they carried Michigan inspired souvenirs, I was happy and thankful that the search was over. Roeda Studios is one of those stores that carries an assortment of trinkets and cute household things that you can decorate your home or office with. There's plenty of Michigan inspired items along with some University of Michigan logo items too. The store itself is very organized and meticulously clean. Just glad that I didn't need to buy at the airport on my way out in Detroit. The overall experience here at Roeda Studios here in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan was quite nice and easy. I took about 30 minutes here browsing and shopping for those souvenir magnets that my coworkers love to have. I did enjoy the ambiance of this cute boutique store. Don't know if they had any public WiFi, but pretty sure they had central air conditioning. Roeda Studios is located at 319 S Main Street in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. They accept major credit cards and cash. Perfect for us out of towners, who are always on the go. We ended up parking at a parking garage that was about 2 blocks away. Kind of perfect though, especially with a low parking fee to park for 2 hours or so. Not sure about Ann Arbor's public transportation options, but best bet would be your own private car or rental. Or if you need it: uber or Lyft is at your service too. Roeda Studios has your Michigan inspired tourist souvenirs and ideas on how to spruce up your home decor or office space. Quite a nice little shop that I happen to stumble into. For the most part though, the experience here at Roeda Studios was quite uneventful and great that I didn't have to run around downtown Ann Arbor for Michigan inspired souvenirs. The service was friendly and quick. I'm glad my friend and I came here and, while prices here can be above average for touristy souvenirs, you can be sure that you do get a quality product here. My reference would be the $6 magnets you find at the typical airport kiosk to $10+ unique ones you find here at Roeda, if you were to find something special for Michigan. Not sure if they have central air conditioning or public WiFi though, but the shopping experience was quick enough to where I didn't notice one bit. I would definitely recommend coming here for your home decor or office space sprucing needs, as well as Michigan inspired souvenir magnets. If you're ever in downtown Ann Arbor, swing on by. They'll be glad to help you out with that you need. Come on by, they would love to see you. Happy with my purchase. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 5.0 stars for the service and selection. 3.0 stars for the prices. Support local! B

    We stopped in here because I recently got into jewelry making, and I'm so glad we did! The…read moreselection of beads is amazing, and they have great prices. The store itself is cute too! The owner, Kim, was there during our visit and was happy to answer any questions we had. This was my first time in a bead store, so if it's your first time too, here are a couple of things that are good to know: Everything is sorted by style and size. I made the mistake of getting two different colors of beads made from the same material but in slightly different sizes. Oops! The strands of beads are all on clips. Each strand is separate. You can either take the entire clip up to the register or remove just the strand you want. If something doesn't have a price, Kim will check it for you if she doesn't already know it. She really knows her inventory, though, so don't worry! I would recommend having at least a general idea of what you're looking for because it would be very easy to get overwhelmed by all the options. Even though the store seems small, there is SO much to look at! Take your time, relax, and enjoy browsing. I had such a fun time and will definitely be back!

The owner was very helpful (I was there multiple times as kept going back for more things for my projects) - I was making pearl and leather necklaces as gifts and they had a very nice selection of the leather and some large drilled pearls- plus the owner showed me a better way to make the knots for my project so they look pretty darn good, if I do say so myself! They offer classes and had a nice selection of beads and findings, as well as examples of finished projects that are inspirational and aspirational- I will definitely be back! Stores like this deserve support- I was very happy to find it!
