They where pretty busy with what looked like a kids party and what I could only label as a family with a litter of children. So they didnt spend a lot of time helping me, rightfully assuming that I, as a fully grown adult would need less help and supervision than all the children, this didnt part offend me as much as it did other reviewers. The point is, I had fun hanging out and painting and am looking forward to try the glass melting, but that does seem a little expensive. I would recommend that adults go in the evening when its pretty quiet. Thats when I went the second time and it was very quiet and relaxing, also fun.

The short version of the story is that Color Me Mine Creekside is not a very enjoyable experience:…read more 1. Rushed order an item (paying $5 for it) and when we arrived the evening that it should have been done, we were told that is wasn't put in the kiln on time and had to wait additional days, defeating the purpose of rush ordering as the item was needed that night. 2. The main worker (I think only one person works there?) was rude and uninviting, seemed uninterested in providing assistance and in general seemed annoyed with the presence of people. 3. There wasn't any music playing, not a big deal, but when there was it was the same song on repeat. 4. No white bumpy paint. 5. Very overpriced. Tip: some items are hidden in the back of the store.

The only reason I didnt rate 5 stars is because I felt their selection of pre-made pieces to paint was a bit lacking. I think thats because they are trying to get into a "make your own piece then paint it kinda plan" But that didnt helpe me then! The owner was a bit of an odd duck but she is SUPER nice and helpful so thats cool. My girlfriend also really likes her, so bonus points. Its a good place to do crafts

My experience at Fire Escape was with a group of colleagues. It's a great spot for team building…read morebecause you gain some insight into other people's level of creativity, you share ideas and you engage in conversation which is light and fun because you're mostly engrossed in your own project. We brought food to snack on and made a big mess, which was lovely. It took me awhile to choose the pottery I wanted to decorate, as they have enough variety to make your decision a bit challenging. They had more than enough tools for me to create what I wanted from an artistic perspective and considering the experience as a whole, I'd say the cost was worth it. There ended up being a flaw in my bowl after they removed it from the kiln, so they actually let me come back and make another one, which I most definitely took advantage of. The bowl was not flawed enough that I didn't want it, so I ended up with two! I wouldn't go back regularly, but it's something I'd recommend you experience at least once. I think it would make for a fun girls outing or date option. If you decide to check it out, I'd suggest you make a reservation.

I went in for a glass fusing workshop for 2. In addition to the Groupon cost, I purchased large…read moreglass plates for an additional $160. A staff member called me a month later and told me one plate fused properly but the other one completely cracked in the kiln. And that when I come back I should get a refund for the one that cracked I called back 1 month later and the owner picked up and I asked what would be a good time to pop by to pick up the 1 piece that was fused properly and how getting a refund works for the other piece. He explained that they disposed off the 1 piece that survived as it had been 60 days (no one mentioned they throw out your work after 60 days...it wouldn't hurt to mention that in the phonecall) and he also said he had no record of anything related to the other plate cracking in the kiln and would not give me my money back. That's basically well over $200 gone down the drain. I can understand the 60 day policy of throwing things out, however if they lose/break your work they should keep record of it and give you a refund. I tried to explain the day I went, a little bit about the staff member but the owner said he had no way of knowing so couldn't process a refund.

We bought the Groupon for ceramic painting for 2(good for $50 worth of ceramics) and decided to…read morebook in advance for Saturday morning. The shop wasn't busy (we were the only ones there), so we got a tour and explanation of types of ceramic paints and how to paint with it right away. The selection of ceramics were good, but it would have been nice if they had more different sized bowls, and maybe even some crochet yarn bowls as well. We really enjoyed painting our vase and lucky kitty. It took us about an hour or so to paint both items. Their staff is really helpful and attentive, so it made our first attempt in ceramic painting extremely easy and enjoyable. The only thing I was disappointed with was that it will take 2 weeks to get our ceramics back. Overall, we recommend trying out ceramic painting at Artopia. Their helpful staff makes all the difference, especially if it's your first time.

Attendees are told that this is an experiential learning environment, which basically means you learn by doing. You are given a choice of several pictures, are described the pictures, are told where the supplies are and you go to work. If you're a beginner and don't know about colors, mixing, how much water to use, how much water you shouldn't be using, etc., you can ask, but your whole lesson would consist of asking, which is a waste of time. The children also use the supplies the adults use so they are sometimes less than reliable. We would.often bring our own supplies from home - including pastels/paint/chalk/brushes etc.. Remember! No refunds or credits! So even if you pay for a month and get sick with say, cancer-God forbid-no refunds and no credits.

Especially that I tried to help them by promoting their event on my son's school Facebook page. Very disappointed by business ethics of the owner.

I'm not the crafty type, wish I was so I wouldn't have thought of this place for Christmas decor. First off the store is huge and they have everything. I thought they were only an arts and crafts kind of place, but I was so wrong. From painting supplies, to baking, organization baskets,to every kind of seasonal decoration you can think of, to artificial flowers and plants. A bit of everything. The staff were accommodating and I always found someone to steer me in the right direction. Plenty of parking in front too. It's not a store to make a quick trip too since you get side tracked with all the other aisles. I defiantly found Christmas decorations that I was after and plenty more. Will be back again.
