I know a lot of ladies who live in Mathews and have a great time taking one or two classes here. It's a great way to meet folks in Mathews. It's led to my mom's year or so long obsession with making "toothbrush rugs" which are not made OF toothbrushes, but with a needle-thing that looks kinda like a toothbrush. Great little place, I would totally recommend it. How awesomely fun would it be to come to Mathews for a summer and take a class here in between visiting the shops/restaurants and going to the beach?!

This place has different priorities and that's their business. Mine is taking our family and business elsewhere.

I'm so glad that we have a studio like this close to our place. We went here for my daughter's birthday party and they had a complete blast. Not necessarily my thing, but hey, I'm just the guy fronting the bill for a happy child. The pricing was very fair in my opinion and they did a great job of ensuring all the kids had fun and were coordinated (tough) in their work. The facility was quaint and just enough to be perfect for hosting the event and allowing customers to come in. I'm sure we'll be back but the first line of my review was told to me by the person working. As a married couple always on the hunt for date night activities, this is definitely on the radar. :) Food Taste: n/a Overall Service: 5 Value of food to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no

We were greeted by Kathy the owner along w/ her husband who does all of the woodwork. Such a sweet couple and so accommodating. We were allowed to bring snacks so we had a charcuterie board, cooler w/ drinks, and a birthday cake! We were the only people booked for this day which was perfect. I'm pretty sure we overstayed our welcome but Kathy and her husband were totally chill. We all had such a great time and loved that we were able to take our crafts with us. With the husband doing all the wood work, they accommodate custom orders. I certainly plan on returning.
