There happen to be a birthday party there when we arrived. We had to wait about 5-10 minutes for tables to clear out before we could get started. You are able to make reservations so that's good to know for the future ! We didn't really get a rundown about how the process worked when we arrived but there were signs and directions on the table that we followed. You pick out the piece you want and once finished, you pay for everything at the end! It looks like each piece takes about a week to process. You're told they will not contact you when your piece is ready unless there is something wrong. You are able to go in and pick it up whenever that day Pick up was very easy. We checked in at the front desk and provided our last name. Easy! They give it to you in a cute little bag and that was that.

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.

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.

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 partner & I had a Groupon and set an appointment up for September 23rd at 1:00pm. We arrived at…read more12:45 and were greeted by a "Be back at 2:00" sign on the door. I called several times, no answer. We held onto hope and waited 25 minutes for an employee to show up. Eventually, someone did -- but the reason? Her boss asked her to pick something up. So this lady completely forgot about our appointment and then proceeded to laugh about the irony of her boss reminding her to check online for any appointments prior to this happening. She seemed indifferent overall. The process of making a mosaic is really fun and tedious. That part was great! Only do the 8x8 mosaic workshop if you're okay with figuring it out yourself; the employee there did not guide us at all, despite knowing it was our first time. Once we were finished, she told us that they would need to fill in the gaps with grout and that we would receive a call sometime throughout the week if we were unable to pick up the finished pieces the immediate following day. A week goes by and no calls were received. Shocker, really. Today (October 1st) at around 2:30pm, we called to ask if we could pick up our finished pieces. The same employee from last week answered the phone and told us, "yes," we could, they just "close at 3." We told her it'll only take 15 minutes to get there, which she sounded okay with. We arrive at 2:45pm and catch the lady running back inside, as though she was just in the process of leaving. Which we confirmed to be the case, as she handed our pieces off to us and talked about how she was "leaving early" and we "got here at the just the right time." At this point, I am dumbfounded with how awful this employee is. She hears that a customer is coming to pick up their piece before closing and her instant thought is to leave early/before the customer arrives? As for the cherry on top, the grout looks terrible. There's so many holes. I felt like my contribution to the piece (the glass placement) was done well, but if I had known the employees were going to be careless about it.. I would have done it myself. I am pretty unhappy with the way it turned out and it's not because of my own doing. This place has potential to be great. I feel bad leaving a review like this, but something has to be said. Please do not go here if you're looking for a good glass art experience -- I promise you, this is not it.

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!

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.
