The prices are around $15+ but it's definitely worth it for birthdays or if you want something to do that's not shopping! The process is really easy once you finish the painting you pick it up in about a week after!

Make sure if you come you listen to the instructions and understand them before getting started so you don't have any issues with your art pieces. The only thing I will caution is expect to pay a decent amount per piece. I don't believe I saw a piece less than $20, but those were small and if your younger kids are anything like mine, they will want to paint tons of them, or a really big (read expensive) one.

There's…read moresuch a big makers movement in the area, it'll be nice to see the shelves fill up with even more local crafters, artisans and artists. I liked the layout of the store and the fact that it shares space with a quirky vintage shop. Products range from goodies for kids (my friend's Sunshine Chewelry is there, and there's bibs and onesies, too) to the beautiful ceramic growlers and beer steins of Grayling Ceramics, soaps and lotions, clothes and more. The mural along the wall next to the building is also a lovely local beaut. La!!

Disappointing.

(Particularly with fabric). I'm understanding and sympathetic to new employees learning on the job and with businesses being understaffed with Covid but cackling with your co-workers openly in front of customers who are trying to get help, having multiple broken machines that hold up lines/take forever to even get a receipt, a cashier who doesn't know how to apply coupons nor do a proper return is unacceptable. This is the last time I'll be going to this location.

One of the coolest little local businesses in Kalamazoo, Grayling Ceramics is probably best known…read morefor its beautiful beer growlers, howlers and steins. The product quality is top-notch, the artwork exquisitely beautiful, and the business' visibility and reputation in the area is growing quickly. I won a growler at an event the Kalamazoo Public Library hosted during the month it participated in beer-related programs throughout the community earlier this year, and we've been thrilled with how fresh and cold the container keeps the beer and what an awesome conversation piece it is when we attend events with other homebrewers.

I'm in love with pottery. We had to register for this event, and you get a slab of clay ( Shea was kind enough to give as many slabs as we needed!) And Shea showed us how to make couple of pieces, we could also make anything we wanted. Shea was kind enough to help us and even fix our pieces if they had any flaw. The event lasted for 1.5 hours and it was so much fun. I ended up making 3 pieces that I can't wait to see. Overall it was a very unique experience and I loved every bit of it.

Everything is vibrant and fun, and the decor of her little pop up shop is also eye-catching. I grabbed a pair of the shorts on my last visit and can't wait to get more colors and patterns since they're so comfy and don't ride up your butt! The owner also handmakes some vibrant fleece ponchos for children. Cute as the dickens.
