Every time I visit Worcester I find another gem tucked away somewhere in the city, and my past…read morevisit was no exception. I stopped into CC Lowell in hopes of finding a unique card and decorative paper. Within the first five minutes of being in the store, I'd found exactly what I needed - leaving me with a few extra minutes of browsing time. -First and foremost, they carry interesting and unique greeting cards. The selection could be larger, but what they do have is great! -If you need art supplies, this is your place. They have a great selection and several options in each fine art category. Also, don't forget to check out the display of historical art supplies in the back of the shop!! -Upon entering the store, there is an awesome table full of small gift items. If you are looking for a quick, unique gift, CC Lowell does not disappoint in this department. -The staff is pleasant and helpful - making an already great shopping experience even better. CC Lowell will likely make the ever-growing must visit list for me when I'm in Worcester.

I've really been debating leaving this review because I did enjoy the painting (for the most part)…read more We (my husband and I) went for the very first time a couple weeks ago to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We made reservations ahead of time and when we got there they were assigning tables to sit at. We got shown out table and then we got moved. We were shown the other places to sit so we started looking for the pieces we were going to paint. We returned to the table and another lady started telling us to move again, we would be better off sitting somewhere else. So now we've been moved twice and we end up at a table with little kids who have zero interest in painting. They are on their phones and pushing/knocking the table and my husband and I are having to stop continuously so our painting doesn't get messed up (it did when the kid hit the table and we needed assistance fixing the piece-and we complained at that time). I should note-when we first arrived we told them we were celebrating our anniversary (they asked) and we were told "oh, you need to do a tile!." We didn't think anything of it at that time. When we were almost finished painting the plate we had picked out, a tile was brought over to us. We never asked for it and honestly forgot all about it. It was given to us and we were told to enjoy it. We finally finished the plate and tile so we brought them up to the front. There, we were charged for the tile we never asked for and to be perfectly honest had zero interest in doing - we didn't even put much effort into painting it because at that point we wanted to get out of there. The girl checking us out had no desire to follow up on it so we left, mad. I was told "give us 2 weeks" for the pieces to be ready. No other instructions. So I go yesterday to pick up the pieces -2 weeks and 3 days later. I walk in and tell the desk I'm here to pick them up. "Did you call first?" Ummmm, no, I wasn't told to do that and it's been longer than the 2 weeks. Then she can't find my stuff in the computer, both by phone # and name. I tell her the date we were there and she has to go find the actual paper slip. Then she can't find the pieces and there are now 2 people looking for the items. They finally find them after about 10 minutes of me standing stupidly at the front. Did I enjoy the actual painting? Yes Did I enjoy the overall experience? No Was the customer service good? Not great Will we go back? Probably not, I might give them a 2nd try by my husband will definitely not.

I could not be happier with Sprague Woodworking. I contacted them about creating a maple butcher…read moreblock countertop for my kitchen renovation. They came out and templated the countertop to get a perfect fit against the wall and used our oddly shaped sink to make sure the opening matched up perfectly. In addition, they worked with me on a waterfall edge countertop for an island we were building and with all of the measurements I provided (despite the fact that the island itself was not yet built) it was a perfect fit as well. I was so happy with the way everything looked that I called them later to create additional toppers for other furniture in the room and even some custom shelves that we installed ourselves. We opted to pick up the countertops at their shop and install them ourselves, and they were a big help in getting everything into our truck safely (bring blankets!) and advising us on the right fasteners to use. The Sprague family is delightful. Every step of the way they were knowledgeable, flexible, and happy. Their customer service is unrivaled, as is their expertise and amazing work. I love my new kitchen and the countertops and shelves really bring it all together.

I reached out to the studio and they told me my item was there... not sure what or how they were planning to get in contact with me. At the visit I left my name, my number, a description of my item and noted I painted my initials on the bottom of the item - wrote all of this down on the little scrap paper they gave me to write my info. I'm guessing they lost it.... I go to try and pick up my item today, sign says closed 7/18... it's 7/17, no mention on the phone when I called yesterday or on their social media page(s) that they would be closed due. Frustrating to say the least. Items available to paint upon arriving for the visit were sparse so overall, all of these things combined, it was not worth the hassle.
