Fun time tonight with my daughter and granddaughter, craft and a movie!…read moreFreaky Friday a favorite movie of mine on the screen and fun dried flowers and resin heart dishes to create. A few snacks to start with and we got to choose our colors and go at our pace choosing the design we wanted to make a unique take home project. My first one didn't cure right leaving air bubbles so I was able to make a second one at Ambers insistence and with the help of my granddaughter made it in blues and whites which I really liked. Amber said I could try to leave out the one that didn't cure right in the sun for awhile and the bubbles might go away. We enjoyed browsing in the shop a little bit too and my daughter bought some earrings and a hair clip. Would love to try another class soon!

I love this little art studio and can't wait to take more classes here! I participated in a Dutch…read morePour Class (offered through Artown) and had so much fun making a set of coasters. The class size was perfect for this activity, allowing for the teacher to adequately share instructions, demonstrate the process, and work one-on-one with students as needed. The instructions were organized on a print out with all the materials and supplies needed to replicate the activity at home and referenced during the instruction portion of the class. The materials for the class were well-maintained and organized at each place setting for each student. I've taken other art classes elsewhere and I felt like this was a step above with regard to organization, instruction, and take away materials. I loved the experience so much that I'm going to take another class in October, and this time I'm bringing a friend! In addition to the art classes and studio, Copper Cat also has a delightful little art/gift shop with items made from the artists in studio. Most are in the front shop, but some pieces are scattered throughout. Take your time looking at all the wonderful pieces... so many great art gems for sale at very affordable prices. This little shop is now on my go-to for gift shopping.

Finally made it out to visit Copper Cat Studio! What a beautiful shop; so much larger than I ever…read moreexpected. Spacious and well-lit classroom space. I'm not a mosaic or stained glass artist, but even to my eyes, the supply they carry looked amazing. Also local artists' works (including the owner Katie's) throughout; perfect for gift shopping. Yes, original art makes great gifts, while supporting a local woman-owned business! Everything is so tastefully, lovingly displayed. Just very lovely space. Hope you'll come visit.

There was an allergy to mussels so she substituted oysters, which were delicious. After hesitation on her part, and insistence on ours, she joined our table of friends. Everything, and especially the paella, was outstanding! She showed us the sweet smoked paprika from Spain that gave such amazing flavor. The huge prawns, very tender calamari, and perfectly al dente rice were heavenly. Will book Chef April again!

My partner and I took a Date Night Class with Hayley and it was one of the best dates ever! Hayley…read moreis so incredible at what she does and is such an amazing teacher to top it all off! My favorite part of the class was the partner throw! One partner is the left hand, the other partner is the right hand, and you get to make a piece together! It was such a fun, competitive, and wholesome moment to share with my partner and the other couples there! I can't wait for our next one!

Can't wait until she moves into a bigger studio area to be able to have more access, as there are only 4 wheels in the current setup. Would definitely recommend a class here if you're interested in learning ceramics!

Bottom line: no one showed up to teach my scheduled workshop or has called me to apologize (it has…read morenow been a week). So I can't really give any stars for that. I got a Groupon and the reviews were mixed. It seems like if you are lucky enough to get the right workshop/teacher/materials, it's great! But that doesn't always happen. So I sorta knew I was taking my chances but I do not think it should be that way! I booked online and the email says- You're all set! But I called a couple hours ahead of time to confirm. No one called me back so I had my suspicions as I headed over that maybe the class would be a bust. There's a sign on the door to knock and/or call...i did both, to no avail. Left another message. I waited for like 15 minutes (I really wanted to make the mosaic!!) and then left. A week later, I am still left wondering. Groupon refunded me so that part worked out but I would have been extra mad if I were trying to get my money back from this business that ghosted me. So you're definitely taking your chances if you do! Sad. I wanted the lucky great workshop experience.

My super-fun SIL and I love to get crafty together, so by sheer luck (or fate, if you will) I happened upon a Super Sunday promo and booked us both for a belated Galentine's night out! First, let me say that boss lady Sydney is absolutely the life of the party! She graciously accommodated a customization request for SIL and both our projects came out great! The workshops are quick, unique, and extra fun thanks to sassy Sydney! If you've been there, done that to the canvas paint & sip places, switch it up and come get hammered at Hammer & Stain!

I was terrified the whole time that my piece would turn out awful! But the staff walks you through it and makes sure that you're doing everything correctly. I liked seeing how differently everyone's piece turned out. Thats what set it apart from other activities like a paint and sip. You're able to personalize it, so no one walks out with the same picture. You also can use power tools! What's more fun than that!? The staff was so friendly even when our group got a little rowdy. They helped me figure out color schemes and even brought out the glitter! Definitely want to go again.

When we walked in the store, it was full of customers, the shelves and isles were mostly orderly considering how busy it was. I found it fun to explore the store because there's so many unique holiday decors and a bevy of different crafting supplies. A majority of their check out registers were fully automated but there was still a manned register by the entrance. Overall, we had a nice shopping experience.
