Cute shop decent selection of trinkets & decorations staff friendly plenty of parkingread more

This shop has always looked interesting to me as we drove past it several times in the last few…read moredays, but despite staying on the island for the summer for several years, I don't remember ever going inside. It's been around for a while so I decided it was finally time that I stopped in to see what was in there. We walked in and no one else was in the store. A much older woman at the front counter seemed to be the only employee. She didn't say hello or even look up from what she was doing when we came in. As I got closer to her, I said hello and then she said hi. To me, it's rude for employees to not even say a quick, "Hi." when a customer walks into their business. It doesn't take much effort. They had a varied selection of assorted decor, clocks, framed prints by local artists, outdoor furniture, lamps, LBI related decor, rugs, and plentiful tchotchkes which were fun to look at, albeit overpriced. Some of the things were unique and looked handmade, plus a lot of made in China items too. It was pleasant to browse there. We were never asked if we needed help with anything or if we had any questions. The woman employee was too busy complaining about her long drive due to construction which backed up traffic on route 72 and the bridge. I didn't buy anything, although I was tempted by a few items. The high prices plus the indifference of the lone employee, made it easy for me to walk out empty-handed. I doubt I'll be back.

Glass, yo, it's from Joy-zee!…read more This is a weird but cool arts campus in Millville, mainly about glass, but also housing a decent-size pottery guild, and a small building of textile/tribal arts. In addition to live glass blowing demonstrations, and special classes or make-and-take events for glass/pottery pieces, they have a glass museum with tons of history on glass in the USA. NJ had all the right conditions and materials (wood, sand, soda ash, and silica) for glass so it was the nation's main source of glass for a long period in US history. They make pottery and glass items on site that are sold in the store, and visitors can observe all of this being made. There is a long nature trail, a lake, historic schoolhouse, and various other interesting buildings on the campus. There are at least two stores, both with tons of glass and pottery/ceramic gift options, among other artistic mediums. There is finer art glass sculpture available too, in the gallery store. Wheaton offers a handful of free admission days every year (mostly in summer), including the Fire Muster, with a bunch of fire engines and firemen! They also host craft shows, holiday themed weekends, and other festival events. Live music and food trucks are normally part of any event day. It's a very fun place, and easily can take 2 hours to explore everything. My last visit I was there 3 hours and still didn't get to the nature trail. Nearby Vineland has many great food options, especially Puerto Rican.

The arts center and village is located where glass making began in North America. Before it was even legally permitted by the British colonial rulers, the sandy soil here was too ideal for glass making to be ignored. Glass makers from Central Furope were encouraged to emigrate to set up glass making here and what a job they did until American independence when it finally became openly legal to produce glass and not have to import it from England. One of the great glass-making families of America were the Wheatons who started a factory in Millville, New Jersey and who also founded this arts center and the American Glass Museum. There is much to do here. Watching and learning how glass is made is fascinating and being able to interact with the glass-blowing artisans is very educational. A visit to the comprehensive Museum of American Glass is de rigeur. You'll be amazed at what you will see inside the museum including the world's largest bottle ever created - of course right here in South Jersey. There are shops, a nature walk, and pottery making as well. It's definitely worth a visit to the Wheaton Arts Center complex when you have an afternoon free and you are in Philadelphia or at the Jersey Shore.

My girlfriends and I wanted to do something different and crafty so we decided to give this a shot…read more When booking on the phone, the woman was short, almost rude, but we just assumed she was busy. When we got there , they gave us very little direction. None of us had ever "cut glass" before, let alone did a project like this. The girls seemed annoyed every time we asked a question. And when they answered, they answered with attitude. I guess the one girl was tired of our questions, so she threw her hands up, said "I'm done!" and walked out of the room. This was a quiet, rainy afternoon in October, no need for the rudeness. Glass shards were all over the table so my one friend asked if she could have a paper towel to clean up. We were told they don't have any, and if we want one we could go to the bathroom. WHAT?? A craft place with no paper towels? I doubt it! Never again, save your money.

Would not recommend at all. Could go on and on about everything that was wrong. Called ahead of…read moretime for a party asking for 6x8 bricks to decorate. They set them out before we got there and when we went to pay they charged us for 8x8 bricks which was twice the price. Did they expect us to measure them on our own, they already had them picked out. Next, the girls who worked there that were suppose to help with our party never came out and checked on us. This is not meant for children. They have you cut the glass yourself! Very dangerous. They do not teach you how to cut and glass flies everywhere. Just overall very bad customer service.
