This Plaster Fun Time location has not changed much since I last visited when I was around 10…read more Plaster Fun Time made for one of the best places to have birthday parties for kids, other than Chucky Cheese at the time. I came here with my friend and I's little siblings and decided what the heck, why not paint one myself too? I wanted to try and recreate the spongebob model and ran out of time. I wish they had more paint colors available as they offered a limited selection. You have a couple different glaze options which I thought was cool. Overall, I had an okay experience at Plaster... not the best not the worst. It definitely is a bit outdated & honestly really has not changed at all since over a decade ago.

Rating this Plaster Fun Time location a 3.5 only because the interior is outdated, a lot of the…read morepre-cupped paints were already used....like it you wanted pink you'll see yellow paint mixed in it from whoever previously used it.... So you're pretty much using used paint and have to dig in the shelf to find one that seems new. Other than that my toddler enjoyed herself, its a pretty quick activity to do with a child. The staff here were really nice.

I accompanied my mother here since she heard it was a really cool store and wanted to give the…read morestore a spin. They have all different types of arts and craft products, sewing items, yarn, paints, craft kits, candle items, colored pens/pencils and anything that you might need for your crafting needs. There was even a good selection of seasonal decorative items, right now being Fall themed. We grabbed some of the Fall decorations to put outside in our front yard plus I saw a word puzzle book that looked pretty good so I got that as well. The prices and selection here were not bad at all. There were plenty of clerks scattered about the store looking to help customers find what they were looking for. I found it to be a very fun store to shop.

This place was so busy and buzzing with families with children in tow carts filled with everything…read moreChristmas items today was 50% OFF ALL ITEMS! No recession here! Was very surprised that with the shape of our economy no one just shopped like no tomorrow! The store was well organized and well marked items were a plenty only on issue Not many employees to keep the crowds in line... the lines for check out was out of control and very confusing which line for checkout you were in and some shoppers were abit aggressive! Maybe crowd control by management might help or extra staff at checkout! Noticed a few in line waiting and waiting till they left their picked items and walked out! The store must have made lots of money for sure and parking outside was a mess and maybe hire police details to keep shoppers in line!

However, I can almost guarantee that the reason they aren't open Saturdays is due to lack of help. I love this place! Mike is super helpful and knowledgeable. If they don't have what you need in stock they will order it for you. I will continue to support this business because I don't want Blick or Amazon to push them to close. Let's keep supporting the small, local businesses! (Maybe they will find someone willing to work a Saturday again soon)

This is the go to place for clay! This is the supply store of the Portland Pottery located up in…read moreMaine. Clay prices are great. I buy all my clay here. The prices get better with volume you buy. The staff is extremely knowledgable and glad to help you figure your needs. There glaze selection and glaze material supply is amazing. I have been buying here for several years and only once or twice have they not had what I needed but had it ordered in quickly. If you are in the area stop in to buy your clay. The prices are competitive with ordering online and you save a fortune on shipping. They recently remodeled the show room, much of the jars of glazes and all the fun tools (aka toys) are out on display and the clay and oxidizes etc are in the warehouse. They quickly put your order together and load it in your vehicle for you. They carry kiln shelves and parts and have always had what I needed in stock. Go see they and save a bundle!!!

Tongwood Art was a really positive experience! I have painted canvas of art and crafted with play…read moredough. The art teacher is very knowledgeable and helped me feel confident in creating arts and crafts. The art teacher is very patient, kind, and helpful. She made art and crafts seem very do-able with every learner that participates in the activities. The interior is very uniquely designed where each wall and space has its own character. The location is very easy to get to via public transit and there are parking spots on the streets. I highly recommend this art studio for a date night or family activity!

I wasn't comfortable leaving him so hung back and helped out. One mom dropped off a kid who needed a bit extra help settling in and the teacher was visibly annoyed with him. Just not the type of place that's warm, inviting or inspiring . I took art in Eastern Europe throughout my childhood and the teaches commanded the room. This was basically overpriced babysitting. Hoping it's just this one class. Going to try a different school a go.
