This place was a safe space for someone close to me for over a year. When she initially arrived at…read morethis studio, she was eager to take classes and learn the art of pottery but was quickly told that classes weren't necessary for her, so she carried on, asking questions along the way to those around her willing to help. Just recently, a woman by the name of Sue approached her out of the blue and told her that she needed to pick up all of her things and leave and take classes if she wanted to come back. She was then left scavaging for all of her pieces and tools in front of all of the other artists in the studio at the time, leaving my friend mortified. She was later informed that she asked too many questions and so prompted Sue to kick her out. Because that clearly makes sense. In no situation is that kind of embarrassment ever acceptable and if this is the kind of practice that you guys are running, I want zero part of it. I hope you take a moment to reprioritize the humans who give you the money to keep your business running because if you carry on in this manner, that energy will come right back at you. Have a nice day :)

Returned for another session to paint, then a few weeks later to pick up the finished pieces (after…read morethey were fired). The final product is really solid and something I'm very happy with. The colors turned out quite a bit different than I'd hoped, but now I'm motivated to return to try again so I can better perfect my vision! It was extremely therapeutic doing this and Suzanne is a fantastic teacher. She's very patient and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone!

Very bad experience in the framing department here! I brought 3 paintings in to be framed. The…read morefirst one had black stuff all over the Matt that had peeled off the frame. The second one I used my own frame and bought a Matt from them, and 3rd one I ordered a custom frame, and explained I needed it on 8 days. They assured me it would be ready. They left me a message 5 minutes before closing on the day before I was supposed to pick it up saying it didn't make it on the truck but it was no big deal, they would have it ready for me in another week. (I think it didn't make it on the truck because they forgot to order it. )Obviously, this is so unprofessional it's laughable. I needed the painting framed this weekend and now I'm going to have to find another frame store. I know that sometimes these things happen but I really didn't appreciate that they didn't even have the courtesy to let me know until 7:55pm the night before.

I'm an emerging artist trying to get my name out to the public. I've attended several First Fridays…read moreat Gallery 2622. Last year, I approached John Korom, the owner, about bringing my installation Still Life 69 which had been shown before, to show at his gallery. He agreed as long as I brought new work. Good call. Not only did I get to show the installation in a different setting, I had new work to show also. John actually sent out email blasts, facebook posts etc about the show. The space is really special. He employs a special system for hanging your art, one like I've never seen before. I've never hung a show and it was really easy to do. Each artist has their work up for a month. It's really a 4.5 star rating. ;)

I LOVE coming here. The fabrics are out of this world and some are just too luxurious not to touch…read more I come for inspiration for projects, but sadly I don't buy from this shop because the prices are a little too far out of my budget for the items I have made. One day though, one day... The staff prefer to handle the bolts, so if you need a yard or two of anything, please get them to help. This isn't Wal-Mart. Additionally, they will cut sample swatches of almost any fabric on display. The staff on hand are not pushy, and they are knowledgeable in what they sell. They also offer home consultations if you just can decide on which pattern to select for curtains. What's more is that they offer upholstery and window treatment services! Getting here is easy, and there is a private parking lot available. When you're done, it's easy to just hop over to Mayfair for more shopping.

I recently inherited a whole bunch of vintage furniture from my grandma who's in the process of…read morerefurnishing her place. The furniture is ancient, 3x as old as me and is still in amazing shape for its age but dear God was it hideous before I brought it here to have it reupholstered. The prices here match the top-shelf quality and luxury of the products and services, so keep that in mind. The staff was really helpful in finding me the right fabric and patterns for what I was going for. I was a little nervous handing over my furniture considering its age and my history with it but within a couple weeks I got my furniture back looking gorgeous and brand new without any problems whatsoever. I was so happy with their upholstery work that I even had them make me a rug and some drapes that work perfectly with my "new" furniture. Awesome place, I'll definitely be returning if I need any more interior help in the future. If you want excellent, professional service and luxurious fabrics, come here!!!
