    Great place with great energy! The owners are community activists and understand the responsibility to give back and educate!

    I have suffered, and I do mean suffered, along with Michael's Vallejo for 8 years since we moved to…read moreBenicia from Alameda, where I loved Beverly's (now gone). Michael's prices are pretty high, IMO, despite the $$ rating. But what REALLY gets me is, TWO of it's stores display as "Gateway", so it's very easy to make mistakes, since the system gleefully changes the store I am shopping (Vallejo Gateway), even when I am logged in, to what IT wants (Fairfield Gateway), and I end up driving first to the Vallejo store (7 miles) and then angrily to Fairfield store (another 23 miles!) to get my item. I only go to Michaels when I need my item today, and by the time I drive to Vallejo and Fairfield, I should have ordered from Amazon! Second HUGE annoyance, and this is the BIG one, whichever store I order from to drive out and pickup items, the store will cancel part or even all of my items without any notice at all. "Your order is ready to be picked up!" and then sometimes I have driven 30 miles to disappointment and anger. Yes, at this point it is anger. Yesterday, I ordered a few things from Amazon and this supply I needed yesterday from Michael's: Jumbo Compressed Charcoal ($3.74) the only thing I needed. But, why drive out for a $4 thing? So I ordered White Compressed Charcoal ($3.74), Vine charcoal sticks ($3.74), and blending tortillons ($1.79), just to make the trip worthwhile (as if!). Got there, grabbed stuff, left quickly, because I was late for an appointment. At home, I see I only got the white charcoal and the blending sticks, and a note on the slip "LM called @2/6 1 p.m." "refund" by the two items I didn't get, and "see cashier". I checked my credit card today, and apparently I have to go back to Michaels and get a cashier to refund me. Man, I really hate Michaels. Grrrr Edit: I did find days later a voicemail from the clerk at Michaels apologizing and informing. After the last 2 iphone updates, I have not been notified of voicemails, and I only came upon it by accident today, trying to find a contact. Customer service via email has attempted to be helpful, lamely, asking for information I already gave and not doing anything about it. What a hassle for about $7. So I'm going to try taking the receipt to the store.

    Micheals is definitely a one stop shop for craft items. I really just wanted a hot glue gun and was…read morequickly able to locate it. Lines weren't too bad and the staff were quick and efficient. Another time I came for the curbside pickup and I had to call inside the store to make sure the curbside pickup was available. The staff was very apologetic and quick to bring my order.

    Very cute little gift shop and pottery studio. I've always wanted to come in and finally got to…read morevisit. They close at 6 so if you come after that you will miss them. Staff were very informative about their classes that are offered. I have been searching for a local pottery class and was so happy to see this one. I look forward to taking a class soon.

    I signed up for a handbuilding chip and dip bowl project class. The cost was $72 which includes…read moreeverything (tools, clay, apron, instructions/help, glaze) and the class itself took 3.5-4 hours. The class size was about 8 people. We arrived 10 minutes before 11am and the gallery was not opened yet. So we strolled around Benicia and by the time it was 11am everyone else was checked in and sitting. My friend and I were two of three newbies. The other attendants had been there before. Our instructor was Robbie. Robbie is fantastic! Ceramics can be a lot more difficult than expected. But Robbie made it fun and it was easy to follow along. The small class size made it personalized and easy to get further help if you feel you missed a step or wanted help or ideas on further customizing your project. Robbie provided many ideas for how previous classes added a unique touch to their chip and dip bowls like widening the dip bowl area, stamps, a different edge that is straight rather than wavy etc. We were shown glaze options at the end of the class including samples of what the finished color would look like. My friend chose Nutmeg and I chose the grey-green glaze. In about three weeks I got an email that our pieces were ready for pick up! Robbie was there again! She carefully wrapped our projects for me. We also chatted a little about the other classes (flowers) and their inventory. I couldn't be more pleased with the end result and the class itself was really fun! I see why people keep coming back to do different classes! The store itself has a great variety of art pieces. They obviously have ceramics. Including a little clearance cart at the front of the store. Student pieces which are also discounted. They have metal work. And jewelry. They have cards from local artists. What a wonderful addition to Benicia! I'm sure I'll be back again soon either for another class or just to browse what beautiful pieces they have for purchase.
