My fiancé and I had a very disappointing experience. When we first arrived, we were genuinely…read moreexcited. I even mentioned wanting to paint something inside the main studio, and as we were walked over to the other studio, the owner told us they close at 6 and that we would be called back to paint the pieces we made. That made us even more excited about the full experience. As beginners, we expected a more hands-on approach, especially since the class is advertised as beginner-friendly and the goal is to complete two pieces. Instead, we found ourselves constantly asking the instructor for help, only to receive very brief responses before they turned away again. With only one instructor and little to no hands-on guidance, the experience was frustrating and not what we signed up for. As shown in the photo, my piece would not stay centered on the wheel, and I wasn't given the support needed to fix it. Because of this, I was only able to complete one piece, while my fiancé was able to complete two. We drove 1 hour and 30 minutes for this class, so our expectations were high, which made the outcome even more disappointing. We wanted to speak to someone about our experience right after the class, but the main studio had already closed at 6, and it was around 6:06 by the time we finished. I later contacted the manager to discuss our experience. She initially offered a free class with another instructor, but we declined because we didn't feel confident the experience would be any different. We simply wanted to take our business elsewhere and move on. We were not interested in picking up our pieces at any point; we just wanted to forget the experience altogether. Her response felt dismissive and unapologetic, which made us even more certain that we did not want to return. During the conversation, she compared the situation to going to a movie and not liking it, which didn't feel like an accurate comparison. A pottery class is a guided service where instruction and support are expected especially for beginners unlike a passive experience like watching a movie. After about 10 minutes of back-and-forth, she offered a 50% refund, which we didn't feel was appropriate. She eventually agreed to a full refund, but her tone remained dismissive and unprofessional, and she ultimately hung up on me. Overall, I would not recommend this place for beginners. The lack of hands-on instruction, limited support, and the way our concerns were handled made the entire experience disappointing from start to finish.

It was just an overall rude experience. I pray I don't have the same one next time I need to go there.

Many, many years ago there used to be a Woodhill Mall at this location. It was pretty dismal. Now…read moreit's the Shoppes at Woodhill, and it has a whole new vibe including a relatively new Barnes and Noble. And that turns out to be a bookstore with a lot of good things about it. First, it's big, spacious, clean, lots of seating spaces. Second, it's got a lot of books in a lot of genres. And third, and least important to us, it's got a lot of other stuff that isn't books -- things like gifts, etc. -- that add up to a store welcoming to visitors with all sorts of interests. Our primary interest is books, and we found many to like here. Unlike some BN stores, they carry a lot of classics in different publishing formats. There are large sections of popular fiction and nonfiction, and very appealing and diverse cookbook and mystery sections. We really enjoyed our visit here, and we appreciated the friendliness of the staff. We didn't need any help in our searches, but they are quick and efficient in the checkout. All in all, a very good experience, and we can recommend this store without hesitation.
