A laid-back comfortable environment. 4. Carole's tips on how to make all sorts of things. 5. Lots of supplies to get creative with. 6. The freedom to make whatever I wanted. 7. Help when I needed it. 8. A really cool result even though I do not consider myself good at this sort of thing. 9. It was affordable. I haven't picked up my finished pieces yet, but I think they are going to turn out great! Carole fires/glazes them and you pick them up later. I recommend the workshop. You can even shop while you are there. Carole had so really cool stuff to buy. Bring a few friends. You will have fun!

Carole demo'ed the whole thing, and was ready to assist at any time. She also had a bunch of materials where we could go hog-wild on the clay craft. She was prompt with correspondence on when to pick up, etc. And the space itself and bathroom is clean and not hard to find-- a touch eclectic and still clean and efficient, very much like Carole! I hope this is the first of many outings here. We plan on coming back, maybe even making it an annual tradition! Thank you, McCheeks!

I visited Love & Make with a friend because we wanted to try something fun outside of the usual…read morefood and shopping routine, and it ended up being such a wonderful experience. Nesha hosted our class and was absolutely fantastic -- welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging. Lillian handled our calculations and guided us through the process with so much care and attentiveness. The breakdown of perfumes and colognes was surprisingly fascinating. We learned about the origins of different scent families, how fragrances are structured, and even some unexpected facts... like the fact that amber comes from the digestive tract of a sperm whale. Definitely didn't need to know that, but it made for a great laugh. The space itself is clean, sophisticated, and beautifully designed, which made the whole experience feel elevated. Overall, I absolutely loved the class and the team's attentiveness. I can't wait to bring my mother when she visits -- I know she'll enjoy it just as much.

What a fun time! We selected the "Weekday Afternoon DIY Fragrance Design". You can select candle or…read moreperfume making. My daughter & I chose the make your personal perfume scent. She & I were the only people in attendance on a weekday afternoon. Before you start, you select which size (ounces) perfume you want to make; 10ml is the default but you can upgrade to a larger size & pay an up-charge. Each person makes their own scent choosing 1-3 scents for each category of base, middle, & top. We had 24 different scents to smell and choose from. The Love & Make employee provides composition guidelines & suggestions on scent quantities. After you make all your scent selections, the worker does the final "math" to tell you quantities of each scent. You measure out each scent & finally mix them all together to create your final scent. I'll admit, the worker was not very enthusiastic while helping us. Yes we were the only participants that day but it would have been nice if she had a little bit of "perkiness" while working with us. Nonetheless, the two of us enjoyed each other's company & enjoyed the unique experience. I would definitely return & bring a few more people to have a group experience. I highly recommend the experience! The overall experience was a 5. However, I will rate it 4 because customer interaction for this type of experience is important. Things to Note: - Weekday afternoon sessions are only 45 minutes, $40 vs weekday evenings & weekend sessions are 90 minutes, $75. - Weekday 45 minute sessions have less scents to choose from BUT 24 is still a good amount. - The class is BYOB! - Parking lot across the street is a "pay-by-phone/app".

He went over the entire process before going one on one when you make what you signed up to make. I found it extremely helpful when it came to what colors mixed well with other colors and what colors didn't mix well. Mark the owner, was very responsive when it came to setting up the class. 10/10 I can't wait to take another class!

Didn't feel dangerous at all. People go one at a time and the instructor is with you reminding you what to do the whole time. Will definitely be back for more classes. It's an art but not as hard as you think. They do the actual blowing but it's still a satisfying experience. Pro tip: If you go first, you can leave early.

I discovered this family run studio conveniently located in Montrose last July and I'm so pleased…read morethat I did. I started out in the beginner class with no previous experience and quickly learned the basics. The beginner class is a reasonable $170 for a 5 week session and you can count on coming home with 6+ pieces. Your final class will be a potluck, work reveal and Raku firing. John and Judy allowed me to take the beginner class for a few sessions until I was confident enough to move forward to the intermediate. I'm currently taking 3 month intermediate sessions with the option of extra studio time on Saturdays for $5. I love to come to class and unwind on Monday nights after a long day; playing with clay is really a form of therapy. The owners are there to assist you hands-on and help you achieve the best result (as are some of your classmates that have been students here for many years). John and Judy often have a different approach to their craft, which is beneficial in that you're exposed to more than one perspective and technique. The best advice that I can give is to eliminate your expectations. Almost every piece you make will look different than you envisioned, but you'll learn to love the unpredictability.

The intuitive painting class is not about cookie cutter techniques, nor perfect art composition - it truly is about allowing your own creativity to surface. When I arrived I was taken by the wonderful atmosphere in Cherie's studio. Everywhere you turned there was something else that was interesting and fun to look at. Cherie herself made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. I was amazed at how quickly the weekend passed and how re-charged I felt at the end. I look forward to signing up for more of Cherie's classes through out the year.

Each and everyone of us created something different and it all turned out beautifully! Unlike painting with a twist or paint pub, we all agreed that what we made we would actually use in our homes!

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. I know that I'll be back to create another one of a kind piece!

I cannot recommend them enough and absolutely plan to work with them again. In the meantime, I'm booking one of their solo candle-making experiences because I was so busy hosting that I never actually got to make my own candle! Thank you to the entire Blumoon team for helping make our Daycation such a special day.

Here you were limited to choosing from 4 scent bases already pre-mixed, and you could choose how you'd like to mix those to create "another " scent if you will. 2 out of the 4 were very sweet smelling for most of the guests there, and for my husband this was very limiting. The overall process is pretty quick; you're done before you know it and were late! The flexibility they offer is super convenient. You can bring lite refreshments and they play music choices by request. I also appreciate the instructions they provide for parking and location as that made it super easy to find them. Overall a cute spot for a nice hangout and to do something different. I'd go back to try the soap making class.
