They just won't show up crushing the huge heart of an 8 year old, ON HIS BIRTHDAY! This was not just my experience, this has happened to at least one other mother on her son's birthday as well! The owner SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF and frankly fire Dan, the young man that made the reservation and said he would be there at 9am!

Great studio for classes, camps, one day workshops, open studio time and events. Tons of various…read moremedia projects from pottery, working with sea glass, painting, resin workshops- they do it all. I've only had very positive interactions with this business and I also met them at a craft fair where they had a booth. The many parents I've spoken with LOVE their classes and the children enjoy their time too.It's a wonderful small business run by a wonderful artist who I'm now an owner of two beautiful pieces. As an artist myself I do find a wonderful outlet in the creative and unique projects offered. The owners are professional, kind and very easy to work with. They encourage exploring your creative energy and are always welcoming and open to suggestions. Location: in a small plaza with ample parking off a busy road. But it's an easy on and off. Highly recommend trying their workshops or camps.

Absolutely loved this gem of a place. I wanted to do something for my birthday that was active…read moreand something that everyone could enjoy. The best part of this creative studio is they have MULTIPLE options for each person to pick what they want to create. When you walk in you are greeted by the wonderful owner who checks you in and then they show you their bar/drink menu They then will go through the process you will be going through to create your project. You do each and every step which is super cool. You start with deciding if you want to add some character to your board, then you pick stains and or add on some white wash or paint techniques. Next up is your stencil and paint. It is all so much easier then you think but is a little time consuming. After the paint they even help you seal it with wax so that your creation lasts! Really enjoyed this experience and really cannot wait to go back (possibly with my little one for one of the family nights!).

I cannot imagine it going any better. My first run, I did on my knees. Next, I was standing up. I ended up coming in and watching my family. My kids were standing up and looking so comfortable on the board. This was an amazing adventure - the small class size of 2 people to 1 instructor is dead on perfect! Check this out and have fun!
