It's been a year since I last did tufting! When I was at the mall last weekend, I checked out this…read morestore and found out they offer a variety of projects, including tufting, pouring art, and decoden art. The staff walked me through the tufting process and showed me examples of how to tuft properly and efficiently. I even carried a can of Diet Coke to the session as inspiration for my mini rug. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and they helped trim and flatten the rug at the end. I also got to make a picture frame using decoden art - picking out my favorite charms and decorating the frame one by one. As you can tell, I chose food- and toy-themed charms to reflect my hobbies. It's such a great idea for date nights, birthday parties, team-building events, or family activities. Especially if you've never tried it before, it's easy to pick up and a lot of fun!

Our rugs and decoden picture frames turned out great, but the store gets very busy and that is the…read moremain reason I rated 3 stars. It took us some time to learn how to use the tufting guns properly and it felt like they were understaffed. It would've been nice to have more guidance throughout the process, like if we had any questions we had to wait a very long time for a staff member to be available to help. The seating for tufting is also very close together and it can get a little cramped. But as I mentioned earlier, we were very happy with our finished rugs. After we finished tufting, it took them about an hour to finish them off and we were able to take them home the same day. We also did decoden, which was fun! I was impressed by the charm collection, but it was very hard to find letter charms since they were all mixed up and scarce. Overall, the crafts turned out great, just disappointed by the service. I understand that it was a weekend evening and it wasn't the staff's fault, they were all very kind and understanding. Just understaffed! With tufting especially, having more staff available to help throughout the process if needed would make this experience much more enjoyable.

I'm a first timer at decoden and I love the game Love and Deepspace so when I saw an ad for a…read morecharacter's birthday party I just had to check the studio out! I was originally planning to buy just merchandise but I noticed how cute everything was and so I ended up decorating some items myself. I ended up having such an amazing and memorable experience even though I was overwhelmed and anxious over the whole process because the employees Annie and Becky (sorry if I misspelled) helped me out so much from start to finish. The other customers had a good/friendly enegy as well so I was able to fill up my creative and social cup from the event. I smiled or giggled a ton from people or just putting a charm in the right spot! I definitely want to come back outside of an event just because it was such a fun and relaxing experience for me that even though I went home tired I internally felt rejuvenated! Picking out charms probably took me half an hour to 45 minutes and the actual process took me an hour. I took some pictures of what I decorated and bought. I also got freebies inside the baggie (which I took pics of later on). I spent around $119 which I think was definitely worth it because I got to learn a new skill, I got good quality merchandise, I have items that is literally one of a kind, and I got to take care of my inner child that day. I am super excited for any future events and loved my experience so much that I'm already thinking about when to go next!

Service was awesome! Just for service I would give it 1000000000 stars! She was so sweet and helpful yet I like how she gave us space to be creative and talk to each other without interruption. Lots of super cute organized charms to choose from! Very fun and I will recommend this place to friends and family.

There were a couple other parties with young children and she was so patient and cheerful. Her energy and positivity made our visit extra memorable, thank you Monica! When we arrived, because we were new the staff helped show us around, and explained the process. The area itself is super cute and cozy, with seating by the windows as well as large tables for bigger parties. We were able to pick up our pieces about 5 days later? And the staff were super nice and helpful then as well! I'm in love with how the finished pieces turned out after firing. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, they had some music playing and everything was neat and organized. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're ever looking for something creative to do!

I have made 4 pieces from here and it has always been a…read moregreat experience Price: $15 studio fee + the item you are painting Unlimited time limit - if you can't finish your piece, you can bring it home and come back another time to paint without paying the studio fee again! So many colors and ceramic pieces to choose from! From sculptures to household/practical items. I love that they show tiles of what the paint color will look like Turnaround time to pick up your piece is relatively quick: ~4 days (ie finish sunday, pick up thursday) They have a lot of tools / resources to help design your piece (ie tape, lace, stencils, puffy paint, etc) An area they could improve on is their brushes - I don't always love the brushes they provide since it feels like they've been misused (not their fault but could be prevented but informing customers on how to properly use brushes), so i usually bring my own. Parking: never had trouble- there's free parking behind the store or around the neighborhood

Just a very chill vibe to get your creativity juices flowing. My friends had signed up for a rug…read moretufting session, but we also saw some people assembling tiny beads together into an image. They let me stick around even though I hadn't signed up, so I just took pictures of the process. For the tufting session, you pick a flat image of what you want to make ahead of time. The instructor then will give advice on how to go about putting together your creation. After that, you link the image to the projector and it projects onto your canvas. You then outline the image. Then comes the fun part: the tufting tutorial. The instructor spends about thirty minutes teaching everyone how to use the tufting gun and then has each person practice on a large canvas. After that, you pick your yarn color and tuft away! Apparently, it took four hours for my friends to complete their tufted rugs, but they turned out so cute! They even stayed open past closing hours to let my friends finish. We need more artistic spaces like this.

I decided to give it a second try for my boyfriend's birthday, and this experience was WAY better. Lucy did a great job at thoroughly explaining technique and was so patient with us. We were originally scheduled for 6 hours, but she went above and beyond and let us finish up past the 11pm closing time. We made a large frame (36"x36") for $168. The estimated time was 6 hours, but it ended up taking us 7.5 hours. They have so many different yarn colors. The tufting gun did take some practice, but we were able to get the hang of it pretty quickly (good for beginners). I definitely think we got our moneys worth. It is very tiring and will likely take you longer than you expect, so I would treat this as an all-day event. The booking process worried me a little as they texted me a couple of hours after I booked saying that they might have to reschedule/cancel my appointment if another party didn't book during the same time slot. I didn't receive an update for about 2 days and was about to book with another company, but luckily I was able to move things around and book a time slot that others had also booked.

The customer then went out of her way to tell me that Megan was simply the best. My confidence and expectations were set high. But my project wasn't that glamorous. And my budget was limited. Megan gave me great advice on in-stock frames that would be suitable for what I wanted displayed. But the color she recommended wasn't in stock. I was under time pressure so she researched nearby stores that had the item. Shout out to the to the super helpful cashier in Cupertino who advised me to join the Michaels club to receive a needed (significant) coupon! But I returned to Saratoga to have my items professionally placed in the frame because, well, I was told Megan is the best. And guess what? She is! The work was perfect! Strongly recommend going to the Saratoga store & using Megan B for any professional framing!

The setup was pretty great to accommodate our group size very easily. We got instructions about the steps to make our bowl and a demo, but I along with others definitely found it hard to keep up. We needed a lot of individual help. I wish there was an assistant who could walk around and help us too. The studio glazed and painted the bowls to a color we liked. They looked great! I only wish we were able to be more hands on in the process and perhaps make two items as the process is quite hard if you're new and it would have been fun to take another stab at it.

I was walking through the mall and spotted a really cool store called Rolife. They sell miniature…read moreDIY puzzles and miniatures house kits and items for a dollhouse. They even had a beautiful Eiffel Tower that lights up and a functional pinball machine that lights up and makes sounds. I got to play with one while in the store, and it was so fun. These items are for all ages. They would make a great gift for a child or an adult. The store employee, Natalie, was kind and welcoming. She answered a lot of my questions and encouraged me to play with the pinball machine. She explained that these miniature scenes are like model kits that are ideal for people seeking a mindful activity to reduce stress and enjoy some quiet time. Perfect for solo crafting or a fun DIY project. Each scene is so detailed and intricate. And there are so many different ones to pick from. It was mesmerizing. I really enjoyed this unique store and also purchased a DIY project for myself for $19.99. I look forward to starting my puzzle.

Not your normal square or rectangle puzzle, but an actual cat head. I managed to finish the puzzle with some help and was so excited about finishing it! We went to the mall the following day to see if I could get a picture frame for my cat king puzzle but they weren't available. So I looked around and I must've looked like a kid in a candy store. I wanted everything. I grabbed almost everything but then I stopped myself and ended up leaving with the miniature bookstore and green house models. I'm not sure if $42 is a lot for something like this but i'll gladly pay whatever prices they are because this has been one of the best decision I have made for 2026. It gives me something to do that exercises my mind and keeps me occupied and I love it. A friendly reminder, you much better patience because it can get stressful. Especially if you're new to this. About to finish my miniature bookstore and will start my green house, then back to Rolife for more!!
