I wanted to paint a ceramic Christmas tree to give as a gift, and did a lot of research to find one…read morethat was the size I was looking for made from a vintage mold. I'm so happy with how the tree turned out. It took more hours of painting than I expected, but the team there was good about giving me instructions. They play music and I saw people of all ages painting different projects. You have to plan ahead a few weeks for when you need your items to be ready, as it takes time for them to pour the molds, dry them, for you to paint, and then wait for kiln firing and cooling especially during the busy holiday season. I love the tree's vintage charm and they've got a lot of other things you can paint at all price ranges.

I love this place! This, to me, is like what a coffee shop is back where I'm from. Small town feel,…read morecomfortable, friendly! The events are always fun! At some point I won't know what to do with the stuff I paint, so a part of me wants to ask about purchasing an entire table setting for 8 so I can work on it over 2yrs. lol Fabulous employees/owner/hosts. Definitely recommend! (And always a solid play list on!)

My husband and I attended a hand building ornament workshop with Jess who was so encouraging and even had my hesitant husband enjoying the experience and happy with his work! I've now been a member since May. Tom, the owner, has been helping throughout all of these different experiences. I have never met someone who cares so much about trying to reach people where they are and help them achieve anything they are willing to work to learn. All the while he works so hard and is successful at creating a welcoming, supportive, and collaborative community of artists. In the beginning I was nervous that I wouldn't fit into the environment... boy was I wrong. Tom makes such an effort to greet everyone by name and introduce new students and members to everyone. This fosters an atmosphere where people inspire, brainstorm and share different tips and techniques they have learned with each other freely. I cannot recommend enough taking a class at Three Ravens - you won't regret anything but not doing it sooner!

I know bead stores, and Tinks Nook is a great one. It just a few blocks off the main highway and…read morewell worth the detour. There is a marvelous selection of strands and individual beads including Swarovski crystals in many colors. What sets Tinks Nook apart from most bead stores are the findings tables with many unusual and unique clasps as well as cord ends and other pieces rarely seen in stores. The selection includes an extensive choice of metals. Unfortunately it is closed on Mondays so I can't visit when passing through after a long weekend trip, but don't let that stop you from taking a trip another day. Added 10/23/2014: Sadly, Tink's Nook has closed. They still offer classes, but no beads, supplies, etc.

I had called a store in Beloit, WI, and they said it would take a week to engrave the names and the date on to a small brass nameplate. I then called Awards by Jody. She said that she was working on fulfilling larger orders but if I could come in within the hour (before lunch) that she would she would get it in for me. As soon as I arrived, she got to work. I showed her the piece and she knew exactly what I needed. I could not have asked for a better experience!! She set aside her work on a high dollar job, to do a $5 dollar nameplate! I was in and out of there within ten minutes!! Forget the mall! I wouldn't recommend anywhere else for your personalization/promotional needs!!:)
