I have been taking a beginners pottery class here for a month or so and it has been such an…read moreexceptional experience. Amy who owns the business and teaches the classes is a great teacher, an excellent potter, and has an amazing attitude. In a class like this people's pots fall, or they mess up a throw often as they learn but Amy has such an optimistic attitude and helps people come up with what purpose their new creation can serve. Amy clearly works very hard to make this a place for artists to bloom and discover themselves, which is intoxicating. The studio is well equipped and while taking a class you can come in outside of class time to throw and practice. This is a great opportunity to practice and get more wheel time outside of the two hours of class a week. They also offer painting and have lots of fun things to paint with many beautiful glazes!

They did reach out to me finally and offered me a full refund which I totally appreciated. I'd had…read morea recent surgery and had some complications afterwards and didn't think it would be a problem making it to the class. I could not make it after all but I really wanted to learn about pottery making!

Meeting Geoff was like meeting a celebrity for me... and lo and behold, he's also the sweetest and…read moremost generous man on the planet! His wife (I apologize, I didn't get her name!) is very talented and kind, and walked me through the techniques that I was struggling with on my own as a self-taught tufter. The rest of the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful as well! Since I'd had prior "experience" (I jumped into rug tufting on my own by watching Geoff's videos back in February and already own three of their guns!), they let me focus on some techniques that I was wanting help with and let me do a more "complicated" rug. My best friend and my mom took the class with me, and it was their first introduction to tufting. They had a wonderful time and would do it again!! We were all beyond impressed with the amount of effort that the Tuft Love team put into the class -- all of our equipment was perfect, designs were traced out, and many yarn colors were available. They also have an innovative way of gluing/backing the rugs so we were able to take them home at the end of the class. I am so grateful and feel so privileged that Tuft Love is here in my home state of CO, especially knowing how much of an authority they are in the tufting world. I was already a Tuft Love loyalist, but especially after having met these wonderful people in person and knowing their incredible philanthropic mission, I will forever support their business. You should too.

We had a great time learning a new skill and take home an awesome rug at the end of the session!…read moreAfter making the reservation, we texted our design to the shop so that supplies are set up and ready by the time we arrived. The owner Ms. Zoom was super friendly and helpful. Even though I probably accidentally used up all her green yarns, she did not charge me extra and kept giving me encouragements. Highly recommend! By the way, the received moved to a Westminster location, at 92nd and Wadsworth. Super convenient!

I had a great time painting at the MBodied studio! I took the Landscape Painting studio class. It…read morewas very laid back, and I felt like I could go through the nicely organized book of lessons at my own pace. Shannon, the instructor, is very talented and really helped me learn the basic techniques of painting with Acrylics, while also giving me freedom to experiment and learn on my own. She really helped me get the most out of the class. After 8 courses, I was able to take home two paintings that I am really proud of. I found myself looking forward to each week, and getting really excited for a couple hours to clear my mind and create something. I'll be signing up again for another class this Fall!

It takes real commitment and the willingness to be honest with yourself and share with others. Now I have only a few sessions left, and don't want it to end, and have made friendships that I deeply value. Art is a language of the soul, and listening to one's soul takes some practice. It's a self-discovery journey that one's art reveals. Thanks to Michelle and Kc, our facilitator. I'd do it all over again, and would love to take more classes!

Hey Tinker, while we…read morehaven't been to your studio, we just wanted to give you the heads up on the negative review you've got on 1/12/2014 from Caron T. (if its even their real name).

Had my first visit to Makeshift Crafts for my birthday and it did not disappoint! This shop has…read morebeen on my to- visit list for quite a while and I am kicking myself that it took me so long to get up there! The shop is laid out beautifully and I really like their little maker space in the back. Their little living room set up is also so inviting! I especially enjoyed the felt bar and getting to chat with staff. Most items were very reasonably priced though I did find a couple of sets that were a bit on the expensive side, but after doing some more research the mark up appears to be from the person who created the kit, not the shop. There were so many fun and interesting things to explore and I'm very much looking forward to being able to pop in for one of their classes or meet-ups! I'm a bit of a maker nerd and there were so many different items that i hadn't found before as well as some of the standards that are essential to maker spaces. The staff was so kind and helpful. We chatted about various projects and I felt so welcome in their space. I've already sent the calendar to friends so we can plan our next get together up there. I am already looking forward to my next visit!!

SWOON! Do you like romance novels? Romantasy (romance fantasy?) or Taylor Swift?…read more A friend introduced me here via a Heated Rivalry cross stitch night. I will admit- it was a bit more intimidating than I expected; but everyone was so nice and patient, even as I asked the same question and steps five times over. But ALL of the craft classes are incredible! Be warned it is addictive! I also will caution that you may/may not finish your craft during the class; depending on how complex it is, most crafts I've finished at home after the class. Truly such a gem and a wonderful community space!!!

The class price was $75 and covered instruction, materials, Mimosas, and delicious brunch fare. I opted to attend solo and was lucky enough to make a few crafting pals during the class.

A woman-owned business and keeping our community growing and working together to make beautiful things. Sign me up again and again!!

We got to use sticks instead of dowels and there was brunch served. Brunch included hard-boiled eggs, coffee, fruits and a quiche. There was trendy/cool music playing in the background and the space was nice because there were lots of arts-and-crafts tools laying all around. My only objection is how expensive the class is. This place hosts all kinds of different arts and crafts events for both adults and kids.

5 stars for the beginner pottery class I took on Saturday! This class, taught by Kaito (likely not…read morespelling their name correctly), was informative, relaxed, and fun! 12 people total in this 2 hour class. After watching a 20 min step by step guide showing us what we could achieve in this class, we all got started playing with the clay. Not everyone was a beginner, which was fine! Our instructor had plenty of time over the course of our class to visit each station, help us fix mistakes or give us hands on instruction, if needed, and guide us to help us achieve our goal. I appreciated that we were able to "opt out" of hands on instruction if we didn't feel comfortable. That goes a long way for me :)
