I just moved into a new apartment and I work for a plant company so I was super excited to paint a plant themed sign. It fits so absolutely well with my decor and I'm excited! I even got another piece while I was there and they had an incredible sale on Christmas pieces when we went as well. All three of us ended up taking home some earrings which I thought was nifty. Definitely an impulse purchase but I don't regret it! Lastly I'd like to give a big shout out to the studio because my artwork had a little snafu at home and the wooden bar popped off. I came by when I was nearby one day just to see if they wouldn't mind helping me with it and it was all fixed up lickity split. As if that wasn't kind enough, she also mentioned there were a couple corners I forgot to paint in gold over top of the stain so she touched those up for me. Wow. Grade A customer service right there! Thanks for the awesome memory with my besties!

I sort of stumbled my way here because I had forgotten about this factory but my friend Christina happened to be visiting on a Saturday afternoon and she asked if I wanted to come along so off I went. SERVICE -- I didn't see much guidance so you'll be on your own as you navigate your way around which can be overwhelming so keep that in mind. Also, the parking lot is very large so it may take you some time of driving around before you even find a spot. WINTER HOLIDAY MARKET -- I arrived for their winter holiday market. There were probably over 100 vendors (small businesses) inside the factory selling all sorts of items from candles, to artwork, pottery, t-shirts, etc. I also noticed a small section of food vendors. There is so much to see here that I suggest not coming in on an empty stomach. I hadn't eaten lunch when I arrived and I was starving so I left after 30 mins while my friend Christina left before me because of the large amount of people around. This factory is similar to 78th street studios but the Screw factory is much larger. I recommending visiting the Screw factory if you love exploring different artists. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 4/150 total reviews in 2024 - 654 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 February 2024

I had the pleasure of going to the Friday Night Art Bar at Wave Space Studio this past weekend…read more The concept is a bar, but you're ordering art projects instead of cocktails. I "ordered" the block printing project, and my friend "ordered" the embroidery project. I think you can also do collage and stamping projects. The projects range from $20-35 and are varying lengths of time to complete. I was a total newbie to block printing - the total of my instruction had been a 6 minute video tutorial. The owner made me feel very comfortable and gave clear instructions, but was generally hands off for me to figure things out through experimentation. You can't bring food to your project, but I believe you are allowed to bring in n/a drinks while you art. It was such a fun, relaxing way to start the weekend. I'll definitely be back.

My BF's bro + SIL got us this pottery class as a combined birthday gift and it was such a good…read moreidea! This crafty type of experience is definitely up my alley even if it's not so for my BF, lol. It was easy enough to schedule and they were very accommodating with the time slots. Upon getting there though, it wasn't as organized or streamlined as I was expecting. The space is very small, cramped and low ceilinged. We went on a Sunday and it was packed with people. I had to ask about the class and wait an extra 6ish min for an instructor even though we arrived at the exact time of our registered class. I did enjoy the class but felt it was more of a demo, then you're on your own instead of step-by-step. Our instructor would jump in if you really needed help. For example, another worker just ended up finishing his bowl but he gave a brave start. It was fun and relaxing choosing paints and then painting but just wish there was more inspo provided or guidance. We were just left to our own devices but wish there could've been templates, example pictures or even stencils to help out less artistically inclined (I'm not speaking of myself, of course, but for kids or anyone who who could use some extra help). Checking out turned out to be an ordeal, and they should majorly redo this process to make it faster and more streamlined. My BF and I waited for more than 15min behind only one other person trying to pay. We also had our voucher gift printed out so not sure why it took the worker about 15min to enter it into the tablet and make it so awkward and complicated. The class came up to about $80 for the 2 of us so it's no chump change and is more expensive than some of the chains like Clayground, etc. They have a tip jar and ask for tips which feels in bad taste since there was virtually no service or even guidance besides the class portion. I can't imagine paying $40 for a clay piece here, painting and designing it myself, grabbing my own supplies, returning supplies, washing brushes, then paying a tip on top of that. One more annoying thing is that the worker told me to check their instagram page to see our pieces get pictured and I diligently reviewed every single post for the entire month and our pieces were never shown... The location is also pretty inconvenient from me. I would recommend a chain/franchised place with cleaner, less clutter, more space and better facilities.

The instructor was patient and helpful, which made the whole process feel really approachable--even for first-timers. A fun surprise was that we got to paint our pieces after they fired them! They moved the process along pretty quickly, and we got to choose our own colors and painting techniques, which made the whole experience feel really personalized. We were told we could pick up our finished pieces in about a week. They also offer other creative options like just painting pre-made pieces or working with glass. There were a variety of painting styles and tools available, and the overall vibe was very welcoming and creative. The service was friendly and accommodating. The only downside was that I noticed a girl who seemed to be in training, and the manager didn't treat her very kindly--there were moments that felt unnecessarily harsh and condescending, which was a little uncomfortable to witness. Overall though, it's a charming studio with a lot to offer for both beginners and returning visitors. I'd definitely go back!

Heart of downtown Peninsula alongside the river. Prices are a tad steep but there's many items to look at. Plan on spending 30-45 minutes in here or longer. Visa/Mc both accepted. Parking up front. Quick walk to restaurants, the tow path trail, the national park store and other shops and galleries. This building had been a general store from the 1920s-1960s, a barbershop and a post office. By the early 1960s the building, in near total disrepair, was nearly torn down to make a parking lot. Fortunately the historic store was saved before demolition began and restored by Robert Hunker.
