My family - including a 12 & 14 yr old - LOVED our experience with Christal. The review from the…read morewoman that took a class in Colorado was judgmental of Christal's home. You will park in a cul-de-sac. So? She has projects ongoing in her yard. So? The other reviewer maybe expected Martha Stewart. Anyway, the four of us have taken Christal's class twice. She lets you use Groupon for her classes (not limited to one Groupon). She gives instructions for about 15 minutes. You cannot use the colored glass that the other reviewer was crying about because it is specially purchased by Christal for her stained-glass business. Makes sense. There are buckets upon buckets of glass pieces in various colors. Any color you could want! She supplies other interesting shapes and sizes of adornments for your project. You have the choice of many items to make - a set of 4 small squares, a large rectangular piece, 2 small rectangles, and some others. These can be shaped into bowls, soap dishes, and other curved/waved designs after the glass cures in the kiln. You need to bring your creativity and your big girl panties though. Christal allows you to use the time as YOU want. And she's brutally honest about "don't park on the grass" and "don't touch the glass for my business." If you are easily offended then her dry humor and quick wit might offend you. We thought she was hilarious, helpful, and creative. The fact that she opens her home so strangers can take time away from television, computers, etc and let their creativity flow is wonderful. Getting our two kiddos out of the house and truly focused on something they could create with their hands....it was invaluable. Both could have spent many more hours there. The time went too quickly. So, if you are open-minded about trying something new and fun, my biggest tip is to take a design with you that you want to create. Using class time to think of your creation eats through time you need for designing your glass. And if you run out of time then book another session! We loved it. I hope you will too.

My husband got us a class as a date activity. We had done a day in a glass studio in Durango,…read moreColorado last year and it was really fun. This one was a bit odd. It was really far away (granted we live in Knightdale) and in a residential neighborhood. You park in the cul-de-sac (I am sure the neighbors love that) and there is a barrel blocking the driveway. The outside of the house has all sorts of junk and tarps and stuff all over (again- lucky neighbors). I get being eccentric and I appreciate the artsy type, but it just seemed like there was junk all in the yard, in the studio and even in the bathroom. It did not feel clean or organized. It is clear this is her work space but I think she needs to have an organized, less clutter space for the classes. We got about 10 minutes of basic instruction and then were off on our own. We did not learn anything cool and were not allowed to play with color and different glass types or do anything other than just cut and grind glass. Our experience in Colorado was SO much better and more creative. It was a 2 hour class so some bottled water or something would have been nice to have been offered. My hubby got a Amazon deal and I have to tell you even at that price it was overpriced for what you get and the teaching you got. To avoid going all of the way back out there we opted to pay $12 to have it shipped to the house and she said over and over how she is really bad at remembering to ship things and to text her in a couple of weeks if we have not gotten it to bug her about it. I got this is not like a professional business because of the nature of it, but it really did not seen to run or feel like something worth paying for.

I forgot to pick up my prize and he saved it for me until I came back a few weeks later. Overall, the owner is a great guy, but the low event turn out and small merchandise selection is big turn off for me.

Food trucks provided nourishment and snacks for those who spent the day. We are older, so didn't have the energy for an all-day stay but put in several hours. The only thing I would say is it would have been nice to have some hay bales or something to rest on for we older folks. That field is BIG. I noticed one gentleman pulling a wagon with two folding chairs in it...smart guy!! While I wouldn't travel more than a couple of hours to get there, the location was on our way to another destination. I was actually looking for a venue to sell some of my collection of vintage sewing machines, but didn't feel the this market was an appropriate one for me. All in all, it was a fun day and I think we bought one or two items, but am waiting to go to the one near Denton: we were told that one focuses a lot on auto and farm-related stuff so that may not be our target market either. Still fun for a day trip!

My wife did research on antique events in the area and found this on Facebook…read more The Barn at Lloyd's Dairy hosts this event twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. The dates for 2023 are March 25-26 and October 15-16. This 800 acre century farm was well organized and and fun. Parking was well marked and signage was easy to read and helpful. We arrived about 1:30pm on Saturday afternoon after a light spring rain. We purchased our tickets online in advance and there is a discount for purchasing two-day tickets and since we weren't sure what to expect it worked well. The tickets were $7.00 each and we felt that was very reasonable. If you purchase tickets at the even it is $5.00 per day. The majority of vendors had booths outside in the field while some were inside the barn. Our guess is there were approximately 60-75 vendors in total. We found a few treasures for our home and enjoyed strolling through on a beautiful spring day with talking with others who also enjoy vintage and antique items like we do. There were several food vendors as well along with some bakery related items and well maintained portable toilets. We learned that in addition to the Tarheel Antiques Festival, which they have hosted for the past five years, Lloyd's Dairy Farm hosts other events throughout the year such as the Tarheel Balloon Festival, Battle of the Blues Polo Festival and Feargrounds Haunted Barn and Hayride, www.lloydsdairy.com. Overall this was a great event and we enjoyed ourselves.

I like fragrance or more importantly, I know what I don't like so to be immersed in an experience with fragrance experts and not feel overwhelmed was a great time. We worked with Sacha who was very honest about our blends, gave good feedback, and was a good source of encouragement. You have the ability to create 3 different versions of your scent and choose what most feels like you. You can also save your scent for future use. I liked that added benefit. I am always curious as to how brands like these manage to keep their momentum as it sometimes feels like something you do once but I would definitely come again to create other products. They offer candles too as well as you can purchase premade scents. I feel like the price was very reasonable compared to other similar experiences. Definitely a must visit for a date night, girls night out, or just a relaxing end to a stressful day!

Bright black offers the perfume Workshop every Saturday from 11-5 - walk in only. We got there a little before noon, and we were able to get seated right away. The staff was super friendly and explained each part of the process. There were tons of scents to choose from to create your own perfume oil. It was $35 per person which I didn't think was bad at all! They also sell car air fresheners, lotions, and candles. Most of the fragrances of the candles have a story or meaning behind them which I thought was pretty neat! Apparently next month, they will be offering larger, alcohol based perfume workshop options. When you're done, you have the option to log your scent so that you can have it made again or even have it made into candles which is cool! I really enjoyed my visit to Bright Black and would definitely recommend visiting if in the Raleigh/Durham areas
