If I could, I'd give 4 stars for the shop and 2.5 for my experience…read more I wanted this to be so much fun, but instead I was annoyed during the painting process and have been let down afterward too. I went, using a Groupon, during the 3rd week of February. The pros- very cute store, tons of things to paint, we had a lot of fun painting our items. The cons- unprofessional staff ran by high schoolers. When my friend and I arrived two hours before the shop closed, we were told we should come back another day because we wouldn't have time to paint. ?? We're in our early 30s....we were making coffee mugs....this seemed really weird. The another woman came in 45 minutes before closing time with two kids. Another high school employee said she needed to leave and come back another day. The woman was upset, her kids were upset. They even promised to be out by 8pm if that was necessary, the employee said that didn't matter....they couldn't paint at all. Most confusing was that a 3rd employee appeared to be there doing her homework at a different table. This could have just been a friend, but it didn't help with the image that 3 people were there working at the shop and asking everyone to leave. It seemed the staff wanted to turn everyone away. There was a group of Girl Scouts there that night as well, but they seemed completely unable to handle more than 10 people in the shop. Now, on the website the store says it's open till 8. I would assume that means you can come in before 8 and paint until 8:30 or so (like a restaurant if you're wanting food....if it's open till 10 you can come in at 9:30 and eat until 11:00). But they wanted everyone out of the shop at 7:45....I was told this directly by a high school helper. So that made the experience a little blah. But what makes it worse is that it's now almost a month later and I haven't received a call that my item is ready. I called several days ago asking if it's ready (I'm assuming it is, since they said it would take 5-7 days) and haven't received a response to my call. And I paid around $50 plus my $20 Groupon.....not how I'd run the business if it were mine.

When visiting Minneapolis, a friend recommended a glass shop I just had to check out. I love…read moreworking with glass and my current obsession is flameworking. Malcom Potek, the owner, really knows his craft. He has been a flameworker for years and now focuses mostly on fusing and stained glass. He gave me a tour of the shop, which is filled with every type of glass and tool you could want. We even discovered we had friends in common. This place is a true find, and I highly recommend Potek Glass if you are interested in any kind of glass hobby. I only wish I lived closer.

I met Sue Trosvig, owner of Handcrafted Stained Glass at her house and studio location in Golden…read moreValley. I had purchased a large stained glass panel, but it didn't include any way to hang the panel. Sue explored various options to me and we both decided that a wood frame would need to surround the panel for structural support. She also evaluated the stained glass panel for me, in terms of how it was put together and the quality of the design and assembly. Sue was easy to talk to and very open, in terms of choices and prices. She was very generous with the advice she shared. It's obvious that stained glass is a passion for her and she does a lot of custom and repair work for her customers. I was very very impressed with her and found her to be quite trustworthy and knowledgeable.

I would NOT recommend this place for a birthday party! First, It's way too small. Every party I've…read moreever had for my kids have offered help or done everything. That's why you pay more to not have it at your house right!? They offered very little help and only when asked. They did not greet us when we came in, but yelled at the kids for walking around the studio while waiting for parent pickup. (There isn't enough room to walk around. But there isn't enough room to huddle at the door either.) They had multiple birthday parties and were out of everything in the price range I had selected. You would think they would be prepared for parties...and we were the first of the 3 I saw! Fun to go here, but not as a birthday party...definitely not worth the money I spent!!!
