They've been here, in an exurb of Minneapolis, for about 20 years. It's like a store you'd have found in rural Arizona 30 years ago. The couple and their daughter have a museum quality changing collection of all kinds of Native American jewelry, blankets, kachina dolls, literature, etc. The dad makes jewelry which is sold there. They have earrings for $30 and Tommy Singer squash blossom necklaces for $5,000. Worth the drive.

The employee working was so sweet and accommodating and made sure to find us a table asap. We were so appreciative of her! As for options, I was surprised to see a lot of Christmas items available to paint in mid February. I would've loved to see some spring items or even more bowl/plate options. That is truly my only "complaint". Everything else went great! We chose our 6 colors and our pieces to paint and stayed for a couple house. We were offered refills on our paint and more paint brushed options by the staff which was extra helpful. I highly recommend coming here with a small group! They glazed/finished the pieces by the following week and were very helpful to find all 4 bowls with me at pick up. I'll definitely be back!! Thanks again for the great service :)

I went with my family last week, and the experience was excellent. I took one of the baskets and…read morepainted an ocean on the outside and a beach on the inside. You are given 6 or 4 colors (based on whether you choose a board or pottery) of paint to choose from and get refills of the fabulous color. It's a little bit on the pricy side, but for the creation of pottery, paints, and polishing it, I think price meets product.

I've shopped at the Michael's more than a few times. I like the selection of items compared to the…read moreone in Bloomington. I do miss the sales/coupons that they used to offer as corp but for most items I buy they are fairly priced & they now offer a decent rewards program. For the most part this store is pretty clean and organized. More recently I had to make a return. They do offer a few self checkout kiosk now but I never knew you HAD to use them to checkout even though there's almost always 2-3 staff standing in the checkout area. While in line waiting to make my return there was a staff directing people to the self checkout kiosk. When she realized I had a bag she took me to a register to help with my return. There was an older lady behind me that moved up a bit to stand behind me at the register, meaning she wanted to be assisted with her checkout. The cashier told her that the registers were for returns only and that she had to get back in line to use the kiosk. The lady expressed she always has trouble using the kiosk and would rather have assistance and the cashier still stood on the fact that she could only checkout via the Kiosk. I did not like that at all. All I could think about is my older non tech savvy grandparents being treated this way as if everyone is hip to modern technology. I have even had issues trying to figure out how to redeem the rewards vouchers on the kiosk. I get that may be the way world is going (to reduce workers or whatever) but the register can indeed be used to ring up an order and the cashier should have assisted or at least called for help from her other idle coworkers to assist the woman at the kiosk. That was a very poor display of customer service in my opinion.

There were a few options that would have worked, and then I spotted the *perfect* frame! So happy to spend $35 rather than a couple hundred on custom framing. This location has self-checkout lanes, which I didn't have any problems with. The gal at the regular register was standing by and thoughtfully offered me a larger bag for my frame.

Very bland and not even remotely close to being worth the price. Save yourself some money and get a pack of McDonald's cookies. *EDIT* It's appalling that the employee replying to this review as fraudulent. What part would be fraudulent? I'm adding a picture to prove this is your product. Please not that I'm squeezing it as hard as I can in an effort to break it. Perhaps spend more time on a quality product and customer service over calling customers liars.

So I ordered 2 of these kits for my grandchildren for Christmas , I ordered…read morethem on Dec 9 and received only 1 box but it was after Christmas and the next box I had to contact them and request the box again. So I received both after the holidays even tho I ordered them in plenty of time to get before Christmas. I just tried the winter wonderland cookie baking kit with my granddaughter last night. The experience was fun making the cookies with her but the cookies were awful. She was so excited to take them to her friends for school but I am not sure they will be tooo impressed. The cookies are hard and awful. I haven't tried the second kit yet which is the royal cocoa bomb kit so I guess I will let you know how that goes when I do it. I like the idea of the cooking experience with your children but the product for the price I would not recommend.

I've also always had great experiences at Joann With that in mind, I had the absolute WORST experience with this location. The employees of this store have no concept of what customer service is. Not only were they rude and short, but I had to come back on THREE separate occasions because my small order still wasn't ready even though I was told to come back at those times. I live down the street from this location but I will be going out of my way to not have to come here for supplies again. I would leave a 0/5 but that would take too little effort.
