My daughter is a heart warrior and the painting depicts her strong heart that has been healed through Jesus guiding many surgeons & by His stripes she is healed! Vlada worked on the painting for many days perfecting it each day as she added many intricate details. The value for the amount of time and effort she put into the painting is amazing! I highly recommend Vlada at Spark Bliss Co. for all of your artistic needs.

She made this dream possible. We thought it would be out of budget or something we would have to save up for and we were surprised her pricing is incredibly affordable. I was quoted much more by other artists who quoted a longer amount of time. She should probably charge more, but we are so happy we did this mural. Hopefully it will be loved by the community for years to come!

Agree that the items are outrageously expensive (especially since you can find the same for a…read morefraction of the price elsewhere), but I've come to realize that we're really paying for the experience, materials and time spent at the store. I chose a small sushi plate ($38) and ended up spending 3 hours choosing the colors, chatting and painting. The employees mostly leave you be (which I appreciate) and are super knowledgeable about the process if you have any questions. After you're done, drop off the item with the employee to fire up your items and you should get a call around 3-5 days later. Overall a pleasant experience and place to hangout and chill with your buddies.

The workspaces and glaze area were not as clean as I've seen at other spaces but it worked nonetheless. The selection of pottery was just okay as they had a lot of seasonal items still (holiday, halloween etc). I wanted to paint a plain mug but they didn't have any drink ware so I opted for this plain bowl. The bowl was about the size of a small rice or soup bowl but priced at $39. I know this includes the glaze and firing process but wow it's pricey! For larger or more intricate products it easily went up to $50-$60.

BEWARE - and be sure to NOT pay her upfront. Everything went downhill after I gave her half down…read more Virginia was very friendly and good at making me believe she would do a great job, but in the end I was VERY disappointed. I have never paid someone that much money to mess something up this bad. oh and did I mention the big glob of plaster dripping down the wall behind the banester... an amigo from home depot at $15 an hour could do better job. When I saw that there was NO way it would get done on time, her comment was "I dont care, I need to make $500 a day" I absolutely could not believe it. She was going to make $500 a day no matter how BAD her work was or the fact that she spent very little time here. I hired her to finish a job and all she seemed to care about was how to make $500 a day to pay her bills. I have never left a bad review before, but I hired her largely based on the reviews here and I feel a social responsibility to let the world know to be very very careful in hiring her. She is a nice lady and I wish her well in life, but I would never recommend her to anyone to do work for them. At the end of it all she even said she would give $100 back (which I found offensively low because of the small amount of work done and the mess I was left with). Anyway she said she would give $100 back and I asked for it three times and she would never keep that promise. Just be careful, you have been warned.
