    I very much dislike giving negative reviews, especially to locally owned businesses, but this one…read moreis definitely deserving. I found this store on Facebook and reached out to the business on Facebook. I communicated with the owner via Facebook messenger and booked a time to come in. My son wanted to make a coffee mug for dad's birthday. We booked our appointment three weeks before my husband's birthday. We arrived on time and found the location to be underwhelming. The front of the store has peeling lettering on the windows and the lobby was cluttered and unorganized. I'm a crafter and I work in a chaotic craftroom, but can definitely see how this would be off-putting. The lobby is definitely not appropriate for young children because of the tripping hazards. We were directed to the back of the store to pick out what we wanted to decorate. Along one wall was items that could be painted and brought home same-day. The other wall held items that would be painted and kept for "one week". My son wanted to make his dad a coffee mug for his birthday, so we chose a mug from the side that would need to be kept at the store for a week. The experience of decorating and the decorating process was pleasant enough, and my son enjoyed his time spent creating. This is why I have awarded this business two stars. Beyond the actual "creating" experience, there were no positives. My son finished his project, I went to the front of the store to pay, and we left. I filled out a form and the owner asked me if I wanted her to call me when it was ready or to message me on Facebook where we had already been communicating. I told her that either was fine and gave all of my additional contact information. After two weeks (a week before I needed our gift), I messaged the business on Facebook to ask if it was ready for pickup. The business read my message but did not respond. Another week went by without a response, so I messaged again. Again, my my message was read but no response. We found a different gift to give my husband for his birthday and I let my (very disappointed) son know that we could still give dad his gift, but maybe for upcoming Father's Day. I called three days later and left a message. I explained my issue and left my contact information. No one returned my call after a week. I came during business hours and the store was locked. Another week went by and I both messaged on Facebook (admittedly very irritated) then called the business. Miraculously, the owner answered and told me that they would be there the next day and gave business hours. They were to be open from noon to three. I arrived at 1:15 to locked doors, even though I spoke with the owner over the phone and confirmed the hours just the day before. Multiple messages and phone calls later, with lots of stress added, I've got the mug. Dad got his now "Father's Day" mug. The mug is cute. My son enjoyed creating it. The business doesn't operate like a business should, doesn't communicate with customers, holds projects hostage, isn't open during their business hours, and is overall just not a good experience. I would not recommend this business to anyone, even my worst enemy.

    I found out about this place because of an event I saw on Facebook. It was open painting from 10am…read moreto 3pm and you could paint a fathers day themed plaster piece for $5. The place was a little hard to find, not sure why my GPS kept taking me to SkyZone nearby but it's just a couple buildings down from there. There weren't too many people there when we arrived around noon. We found a spot at the table and painted for about half an hour. The staff members were kind and refilled paint as needed. The bathroom has a padded changing table for babies which is nice. My 2 year old son had a fun time, we will definitely return :)

    Wonderful Polish centric art/craft store in downtown Hamtramck. This store has a fairly large…read moreselection of artworks that includes ceramics, glassware, matruska , woodwork and the list goes on and on. Lots of nice authentic artwork to see and appreciate, definately NOT MADE IN CHINA, where my personal favorites were their large Christmas ornament selection and their glassware. To that end, I ended up buying a couple beautiful whiskey glasses to add to my bar collection with the Polish Eagle engraved on the heavy weight glass. These glasses are visually stunning and will be very much appreciated and a talking point for my extended Polish family. (: Whether you are Polish or not, there is so many nice/beautiful things to see at this store that you should definately check it out if you are in the area. In a world that is full of cheap junk/trinkets that are mass produced a store like this stands out for both its quality and beauty and should not be missed if you are in the area. Five stars in my book!

    A Polish gift shop featuring Polish items such as folk art,amber jewelry,imported candies and lots…read moreof pottery. Located in the center of town,this Polish establishment first opened in 1958 celebrating Polish culture,history and heritage If you are of Polish decent,this is a must stop while visiting Hamtramck..outside of Detroit.
