To find that the store supports local businesses was a bonus, always try to shop local and support when I can. The issue was the 3 employees behind the counter making snide remarks about people shopping in the store and criticizing our purchases. Sorry but I don't think what I purchased was ugly. I can definitely find other places to support locally. As a business owner myself it was a bummer to not feel welcome and appreciated for spending money in the store, but glad we still purchased our items, because we think they are great.

Great shop in Wake Forest!…read more Many different vendors under one roof who have displays of their items. Each area is more like a little shop unmanned. There is a selection of items for everyone. Also they had a couple people there in person doing the business ( one did jewelry and I forgot what the other one was). The staff at the register were friendly as well. Cool little place to check out if you are in Wake Forest.

My best friend and I were so excited to visit Klaystation, and it definitely lived up to the hype!…read moreBooking online was quick and easy, and the class was about $75, well worth it for the experience. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted by the staff, one of them I believe was named May, and she was incredibly sweet. Everyone was welcoming and gave clear directions to head to the back for the class. Once I got there, the owner was leading the session and greeted me right away. My best friend had arrived earlier and saved us seats close to the instructor, which made the experience even better. The owner was so patient, kind, and attentive throughout the class. The class itself was very beginner-friendly and easy to follow. She walked us through each step, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. It was such a fun and relaxing experience. I truly didn't want it to end! I left feeling inspired and honestly like I had found a new hobby. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to try something creative and fun!

We were advised to pick the pieces that we wanted to paint and seat ourselves at a table. The pieces that we chose ranged from $11-23 each. There were other pieces that were higher and lower as well. There was no extra fees besides tipping the employees if you choose to. We chose a turtle, a frog, & a monster. Anna was helpful in assisting us during the process of painting our pieces & bringing out the different paints and brushes that we needed. We were satisfied with our pieces when we were finished and can't wait to get the final pieces after they are cured by the business.

It always pains me to leave a two-star review, but I was disappointed with Triangle Treasures. The…read moreshop is a wonderful idea -- a gift store filled with items hand crafted by local artisans. But it's slimly stocked, and I felt did a poor job of showcasing local talent. I frequent our area's craft fairs, and expected to see the kind of variety and quality I see from the vendors there. TT offers some jewelry, one table of soaps and lotions, lots of baby and children's clothes, baskets. I really-really hoped this would be more like Parts & Labour in Austin -- we could really use a hip boutique to showcase lots of local designers in one place.

After stopping by for a browse, I thought to myself... for a craft store, why so much jewelry?…read more There were some metalwork figures, some expensive carved up baseball bats (of your favorite team), but other woodwork (aside from simple toys) was very sparse. There was way too much jewelry for a crafty guy to be looking at. My daughter thought it was cool, but I left feeling like I had wasted my time checking out a craft store that seemed to be about 80% jewelry 10% tin and 10% other varieties. I wish I had the time to make and consign items for this store, but alas, I rarely have the time to enjoy my woodworking hobby as it is, much less to stress over whether or not I could keep up with any demand for production. Maybe there are too many guys like me out there in the same boat.

The lady that looked at the damage said she would see what she could do and by that evening she called and said the repair was done and the picture was ready for pick up. Her work is amazing. Not only did she repair the wood but she also replaced the backing and added a new stronger wire and polished all of the wood. She's amazing. Her pricing is really good too especially for the work she put into repairing our picture. We will definitely go back to this store. Thank you for the fantastic service and quality workmanship!
