They have zippers of every kind, size, color. Fabric, yarn, beads. Antique buttons. I bought 8 yards of muslin for $6!!!! I am a big believer of reusing and refurbishing and this is my kind of place. The employees are so friendly and helpful. If you can imagine it..... they have the stuff to make it a reality. You won't be disappointed. Plan to spend a lot of time just looking and being amazed at their selection!!!

It is insane how devoid of personality Michaels has become. It used to be a cute little craft…read moresupplies store but now it has the ambience of a hospital combined with a morgue. Everything is bright white and depressing. Plus they're trying to reduce the amount of human interaction as much as possible. They only have 2 real registers, the rest are self checkout and they've got the curbside pickup BS right by the front door trying to shove that new system down our throats. There's no point to come here unless you want to feel like you're buying craft supplies from a hospital staffed by robots.

There are so many different pieces to select from and there is an even greater amount of colors to choose from to decorate your piece! I personally choose to glaze on of the pre made creations but there are other options such as a making your own pottery, candle making, and glass art! Seating is first come first serve and to my knowledge there is no time limit to how long you can stay and paint! I would definitely recommend!

What a fun time we had. This was great family fun time. Essentially, we called ahead of time to…read moremake a reservation so we could all be seared. We were a party of 9. Immediately, we were seated and they gave us our instructions. We selected a piece of pottery we wanted to paint. My wife and I chose bowls, then we were given a selection of paint colors to paint our bowls. After a few coats of paints, our job was done. We then proceeded to pay and in about a week we will pick up our works. It was a real fun time. The staff were very helpful. Everything was well organized and fun. Everyone had a blast. Apparently they also had candle making along with some glass design/decorating.

First you have to make a reservation on line, I struggled to add a picture on their website so emailing it was easier for me. We got there and they had everything set up so we could all sit together. We brought food and drinks and had a great time. There is a video running to show a demonstration on how to apply the material and paint. We had a great time and can't wait to go back!

Having the stencils is exactly my speed, and it the first art class I felt truly relaxed doing. The instructors were great and helped me to feel confident that the project would come out great. I was glad that I was able to pick out my project ahead of time online so that everything was ready for me when I got there! There's so many options to choose from so I definitely see myself coming back again! The value is great as well- you'll pay the same, if not more, at a craft fair or to have someone custom make this for you, but it's way more special knowing I made it myself!

Cate and another employee greeted me as soon as I walked in and directed me to the things that I was looking for. They have a nice variety of quilting fabrics that other shops in the area do not carry, which is nice for those of us who prefer modern fabrics and pattern designs. For those who are not quilters, there is also a nice variety of patterns and fabrics for making garments as well.

I didn't see a lot of precut sets, but their five dollar a yard clearance section won me (and my bank balance) over. Really nice employees who greet you like you're a regular, and they have space in the back for classes. A friend of a friend raves about them, drives forty minutes just to attend so going myself is now on my quilting bucket list.
