It's one of my first stops at the holidays and for anniversary/birthday gifts because they always have new stuff, and it's pretty affordable. It's like a mix between the DIA's gift shop and other art stores like Art is in Market and Urban Merchant. They close early on Saturdays and aren't open on Sundays though, which is kind of inconvenient. But they are open until late during the week which is cool because you can see the classes going on.

I am very disappointed with Expression music academy in Troy. We have been with them for almost…read morethree years. They had a teacher who cancelled my 6 year old's piano lessons at the last minute. They offered substitute teachers who knew nothing about my son's lessons and ended up coming out confused and happy after his lessons. They wouldn't help us use make up lessons for regular classes after we had accrued about a dozen make up lessons because the teacher cancelled the last minute. The manager is particularly non understanding and unhelpful - she came out with suggestions like please donate your extra lessons to other parents!

The "twist" is the fact that you can bring wine or wine coolers, from my understanding no hard alcohol is allowed. I debate with myself on if the price seems reasonable as each class can be around $40 but the overall experience once it's done seems to make the price not seem so bad. This time I went with about 3 friends and our instructor helped us paint some wine glasses to celebrate New Year! The entire event was around an hour and a half I believe. The instructors are very helpful and give you tips and tricks as you go along. I wouldn't wear anything you're too afraid to get paint on as it can get a little messy at times but it'll come right off with water. Overall this was a very fun painting with a twist experience and I'll come back in the future.

My friend's kiddo was a good age, around 3/4 to get what she was doing and appreciate it. Made reservations online since the website said it was recommended. I'm glad I did! Making reservations was very simple, didn't have to put any money down. Parking can be a little congested since it's in a plaza with other places. Walked in and was immediately greeted. Inside is really cool. The theme is all black and white, looks kind of like a cartoonish vibe, and then all of the crafts speak for themselves with colors! There was a birthday party going on in the back. No private rooms for birthday parties. They use different color cones to show your reservation and where you'll be sitting. Was told to look around the store and decide which type of craft we wanted to do. They had a lot of mediums: candles, bead bracelets, painting, mosaics, and decorating different objects with whipped cream gel and adding charms. The last one was definitely the most popular and most unique. Once you pick out your items, you go to the cashier and can either pay ahead of time or wait to pay in case you want to create something more than what you expected. We were told once we pick what we wanted to let staff know and they will tell us next steps. My daughter went with a small brush and we were then given a tray to pick out the charms that we wanted to decorate our brush. There were so many charms! All of them were included in the price but a few were only allowed to use one time once since it was a bigger charm. We were told to only pick out a few charms and can come back for more. Staff said whatever we don't use charm wise, to be sure to put it back where you got it. Unfortunately, there was so many charms, and with how busy and chaotic it was, it was really hard to put them all back. I would definitely recommend only grabbing so many. We were told you get to pick two different whipped cream gel colors. The gel when dry turns into a silicone like texture. When we were done picking our charms and gel, to let them know and they would come back to tell us how to apply and use the whipped cream gels. Unfortunately, two big parties came in and staff had no time for us anymore. We were pretty much on our own. Just winging it, which was a shame when you're spending $25 on a tiny little hairbrush to decorate and have no idea what you're doing. I think it would be better of staff to all at once just tell you what to do along with a demo how it all works rather than constantly having different touch points throughout. My friend and I winged it as much as we could. I definitely don't think we did it right. I noticed a sign that had different pipping tips for the whipped cream gel, again, a bummer we weren't told about this. The charms and beads are all along the wall and right up against the walkway and tables. So it was pretty difficult for people to try to spend time to look at all the charms, but also letting people by and also people are trying to sit in their chairs. Staff then came over and was great with apologizing for us falling to the wayside due to understaffing and the immense parties that came in. Kelly was very sweet and kind and took her time with us and taught us how to reapply the charms if we wanted to. Along with how to use the whipped cream gel. You then have to take a heat gun and dry your creation for about two minutes, but the longer you do it the better it seemed. Be sure to let your creation sit for 24-48 days to really cure. There is a bathroom that single stall in the back. We were bummed that the Photo Booth machine was down, otherwise we would've used it. When you cash out, you're supposed to turn in the receipt to show what you made. Kelly then put our items in a bag and again apologized for our experience and said coming on the weekday is a much better visit. Our reservations were at four, and we didn't think that it would be so busy, so use caution if booking on the weekends. A very cool unique craft place, that I'm sure can sustain itself with the area that it's in. We'll have to come back on a quieter day to really enjoy all that they have to offer. I would've given a 3 star, but if it wasn't for Kelly, taking the extra time with us and apologizing for our initial experience. She made the whole trip much better!
