I saw Crafty Girl Austin at an event making cute bookmarks for children. I Co-Chair a festival and…read moreoversee all the children's activities. The festival draws in about 600 people and is a free event for an Austin neighborhood. This year several City Council Members and Mayoral Candidates attended as well. I thought Crafty Girl Austin would be a good fit and asked if they would like to be a part of it which they agreed. I told Crafty Girl that I would provide and set up her table, tent, and all supplies needed for her booth. I also said I would put her logo on our website and print her business name in the local newspaper. She would be able to hand out information at the event for free publicity of her business. All she would need to do is provide four volunteers for the event and the special paper faces that would be glued on the bookmarks. I used neighborhood funds to purchase supplies for her (roughly for about 200 children), set up the booth as promised, and marketed her business all with no cost or obligation to her. On the day of the event as I was setting up I received a text message about one hour before the festival was to begin saying she had morning sickness and was not going to be able to attend. I understand that things come up and people get sick. But not only did she not attend but no one from her business did either. If she was going to provide four volunteers then why did none of them show up? Through text message she said she was going to have someone bring the paper faces to the festival. As you can imagine they never arrived either. After the event I never received any follow up from her to see if we were able to cover the booth and no apologies were given. Crafty Girl Austin was a complete disappointment. I feel this business owner is very unprofessional. I will never ask her back and I would suggest anyone else who plans to use the business in the future to make sure you have a backup plan because you absolutely can not rely on them.

I look forward to attending many more. I had just moved to Austin and hardly knew anyone in town. Crafty Girl was a great way to get out of the house, make something fun, and meet really friendly ladies. Anna is a such a warm, inviting, and fun person. It was such a pleasure to meet her and feel instantly included. She's also a great teacher--helpful and patient (which is excellent because I sometimes struggle with tying knots and stuff, heh.) The crafts are usually about $20 a piece, but that includes instruction and all the materials. The meet-ups I have been to have usually been about 2 hours long. I feel like it's a good value, but I'm also a little choosy about which I sign up for. ...great, talking about this has made me want to go sign up for another Crafty Girl meetup...

I recently chose this for my 18th birthday. I can honestly say that it was a great experience and…read moreshe was really helpful. All of the supplies and tools are provided whenever she comes to the designated spot you provide. The only thing needed is a power outlet so the pottery wheel can work. The way it works usually is whenever she gets there, she'll get set up and then go over how to use the wheel. There are two parts to the class, the wheel section and then the build your own portion. The wheel section is where you can make a bowl or cup. The build your own is where you can make little knick knacks or cool objects. The tools make it a lot easier to build things and she provides help on the wheel section so that way the object you're making can come out great. After she's done explaining things, you're free to work on whatever you want and create however many things you like. The woman is incredibly nice and helpful. Pottery might seem intimidating but it's a lot of fun. You can paint your objects once they solidify a little bit and then once everything is done, she'll take them with her and you'll have to wait around 2 weeks. The wait is worth it, they come out shiny and very colorful if you put enough coats on. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something different to do on a special occasion.

I took my mom to their silver jewlery making class and we had the best time!…read more We were able to find paid street parking around the block no problem. The studio itself is really cute and our jewlery maker was sooo helpful and friendly. We loved picking out our stones and the style of the pendant we each made.

It was really cool to see the process as a whole too!

Attended a silversmith workshop at Sisu Studio with a friend during an almost-full Friday night…read moreclass (9 people). We had a great time!! The class ran about three hours and was mostly sitting, crafting our chosen piece. You can make either a silver ring, pendant, bracelet, or bolo tie. My friend and I both picked rings and it seemed like almost everyone else did too, although a few people made bracelets and a pendant. Class began with everyone picking their gemstones in the main room of the studio. They offered an assortment in all shapes, sizes, and colors -- the hardest part of class was selecting just one stone! Once we had our pick, we chose seats in the room where the magic happens (where we make the jewelry) and remained there until the end of class. You have the option to customize basically everything about your piece, with some customizations included and others costing an additional ~$5-$25. The overall price is around $140-$215 before tip depending on your chosen gemstone and details. We chose the band, bezel, and finishing touches like twisted metal or silver beads around the gem, shadowbox, or patina. The class was split into two, with everyone on my side being led by Bailey. She was super fun to work with and made sure all our creations were stunning. The workshop participants do the easier parts of the process like shaping the metal band, painting on flux, hammering down the metal piece for the backing, and placing silver solder. The instructors do about 70% of the process -- sanding the pieces down, guiding everyone through heating the metal, adding the silver backing to the gemstone, and finishing the piece. At the end of class, we were both very impressed by the quality of the pieces that we created and how much fun we had making them. I'd recommend this workshop to anyone who enjoys jewelry and hands-on crafting. Are we jewelry artists now?? (kidding).

Did they have a lot of fun. YUP. Depending on where you are coming from its up the hill right as you enter hill country off of 290 from south austin. If you are coming from the west off 290 its headed towards south austin about 20min from Dripping Springs a few min past Belterra strip mall food area. Plenty of parking. Lots of seating on a Sunday around 12noon ish Thanksgiving weekend. No time limit on doing your chosen art. I tried glass making for the 1st and it was fun and challenging l. Instructions by the staff very useful! Friendly. Helpful. Welcoming. We each chose something different. Plenty of items small, med or large to chose from. Pottery comes with whatever pain you want, glass area there are easy and complex projects. You pay, they fire/bake the pieces and you show up about a week later to grab your pieces. We each got something around 40.00 or under. Time flew by. We were there for maybe 2.5hrs. My teens were not on their phones once. Engaged, creative, good family time. Come visit, bring a friend, spouse/partner, day date, just yourself. Thank you for having this space for folks to be in the moment and creative with things that open their mind, heart and soul

Unfortunately, we never got the e-mail but went ahead and called in after a few weeks and confirmed we could go pick things up.
