I however, felt like a criminal anytime I asked for help or had a question for manager Max or cashier Barbara. I was trying to resolve a situation and needed to get only $10 back (I read online all you needed was an ID). Everyone else in the checkout line was treated like they were old neighbors! But me? Any questions I asked were put down, no eye contact, no smile. I am shocked at the poor treatment of your customers. Shame on you! I am sitting in the parking lot in tears, I cannot believe how cold this store is and I WILL NOT be returning!

I was told that all supplies were "included " nothing was said about paper for watercolor, $30.00 extra. I find it rude to be told that this or that brush is 80 or 100$ , why then give it to a beginner it only adds to the stress. The project became what he saw not what I saw. I was so tense and stressed out that I didn't go back for the last class! I feel taken advantage of and believe that a 70$ refund is more than fair. Classes for beginners should include how to hold a brush right from the beginning , paints used were not even given the correct names, etc, etc, ; class should be fun! They were Not!

We were pleasantly surprised to see all these colorful works of art and a very neat studio. Dena told us all about the studio, and described it as an interactive art studio that helps people of all ability levels to learn new art techniques through a variety of classes and events. Very fun looking crafts ranging from 'fluid art', resin beach scenes, resin tumblers, charcuterie boards, wine glasses and more. You can book a paint/resin and sip party (BYOB) and create a very unique piece of art to take home. The finished art examples are on display in the shop and I loved the resin artwork. So much color and bling! There are some jewelry pieces for sale from local artists here as well. Can't wait to come back here to try a class! It is a very uplifting atmosphere and Dena was very friendly and enthusiastic.

I recently bought some cute notebooks and kept one for myself and used the others as little extras in gifts for some friends. The one item I wanted, Le Pen, only came in one random turquoise shade. It did the job, but I am a little curious why they stock this brand in only one color, and it wasn't even standard blue or black. As far as writing utensils go, I'd like to see more variety here. But if you're looking for scrapbook materials, floral, stamping, framing, or even small home decor items, Michaels is worth a stop.

You'll find some cards (there were some pretty funny ones here), notepads and paper, pens, and so on. They had a cool watercolor book by a creator who has a QR code for a free art class on the back, which I almost bought but taking up a painting hobby is just not something I have time to pursue right now. In addition to the paper goods, they have some textile stuff too. Wallets, sunglasses sleeves, tablet holders, cord keepers; you'll find that and more here. In addition to a few there things I bought a few of the cord keepers because finding loose cords around like snakes laying everywhere is annoying. The employee (proprietor?) was friendly. She was sitting at the front of the store at a typewriter when we came in, maybe composing her novel? A blast from the past for sure but old typewriters are works of art.
