I would prefer to give them a 3.5 but since that is not an option I'm going to settle on 4. They…read morewere very accommodating to a last minute reservation for 7 of us. Yet, what was really frustrating was that during the instructions in the beginning, since none of us had been to THIS specific pottery location, there was no mention of a studio fee if we stayed over our reservation time. I have been to multiple pottery painting places (mostly in IN) and this is the first that I was charged for every extra 30 minutes of studio time. (I think it was 30 min) My daughter and I were the last of the party to finish. So, all the other girls had left. The studio was not full at all either. We ended up staying I think an hour or hour and a half past the time everyone else left. Never once was this studio fee mentioned. If I had known I would have left her piece as it was or had her get something smaller in the beginning. Knowing ahead of time would have made me less irritated. I definitely will not be going back specifically because of this studio fee not being mentioned and them having one. Pottery painting is a treat for me personally as it and knowing I'm on a time crunch really ruins the enjoyment of it. The staff were nice enough, and they had a good selection of pieces to choose from as well.

We found it fascinating to delve into the historical background of stained glass art and to learn that the vibrant glass materials are sourced from various places like estate sales and renovated old buildings, imbuing each piece with a unique story and a sense of significance. The detailed explanations provided for each stage of the process and the tools utilized were greatly appreciated - the hands-on learning approach made acquiring a new skill feel particularly rewarding by the end of the session. The hidden gem that is the stained glass class within the Laurel Park mall pleasantly surprised us, and we're eagerly looking forward to returnin

Kimberly was an excellent instructor; she patiently answered all of my questions and helped me figure out how to use different materials in different ways. She had a very generous amount of supplies for us to use and we learned enough to inspire us at home in making our creations. Highly recommend Life in the Craft Room as they have an amazing list of classes, a great workspace and fabulous instruction!

They make these bunnies and deer out of sticks, twigs and logs. You gotta see them! They are so cool. We got a mini one! I wanted a bunch of stuff for myself and my daughter. I definitely had to exercise some self control to not buy out half the store! I will definitely be stopping in again as I promised my 4 year old that I would get her a couple things she liked for her upcoming 5th birthday. This is definitely a place that you want to detour to if you are out shopping all the kitchy stores we have in South Lyon!

Really cute spot! I would classify this place as a Japanese products store that serves…read morecoffee/tea/boba. They had stationery (e.g. notebooks and cards), Japanese and Korean makeup, a lot of gachapon machines, and other anime merchandise. We had a nice time browsing! The makeup section was a nice surprise. The gachapon is a bit expensive (1 token is like $2 and the machines require like 4 or 5 tokens depending on the toy) but I don't know the going rate for gachapon so maybe that's standard pricing? The drinks area is at the back of the store and there is ample seating to the side. The employee was friendly. I ordered a milk tea which was pleasant, not the best I've had but the price was very reasonable. The tapioca was interesting, irregularly shaped and chewy, and the core was a bit harder than the rest of it. My friend enjoyed her matcha. I can see this being a nice place to bring your sushi/bento from One World Market next door, grab a drink, and hang out!

Service is quick and fast. The tapioca is so, doesn't taste ad chewy as I had hoped. The Mango bubble and mango tea is ok.

Never seem to find something when I have a very specific item I'm looking for. I ended up having to walk around the store in order to find any of the storage containers I was looking for. They have a shelf or aisle, almost full of Cricket items. We use our mighty cricket at our store for quick and small jobs all of the time. Found small tins, but no see-through top and they were about half the size of the container I was looking for. I did see some plastic containers with some colorful lids and locks on them, but still would prefer a tin container.

A staple in the arts community, this big box craft store can hold its own yet has growth areas…read more Some staff are friendlier than others but I suspect it's because they're overworked and/or short staffed. When I needed something, it was hard to locate a person working there and I ended up walking main aisles until finding someone to address my question. A worker told me some people won't show up or follow through on their scheduled interview with some not even showing up for their shift. That has to be difficult for management yet the short staff contributed to the efficiency of my trip when stopping in. The yarn selection is changing as this chain brings in "new" options following the downsizing of their former competitor. I appreciate the differing coupons available which make it possible to find items affordable. Michael's is a great option considering local craft stores often have higher prices and some crafters/projects are either not into handspun or natural fibers nor require those as a necessary material. The check-out process is predominantly electronic and card based so keep that in mind if you're hoping to use cash. I was able to find what I needed so Michael's is a solid store despite its inconsistencies in customer service.

Upon arrival to her beautiful home, she had light refreshments waiting for us. Since this was a private class, we had collaborated in advance on a menu, and everything was well organized and ready to go when we started. We chose to do the Country French menu from a number of wonderful options. The menu included a starter of olive tapenade and grilled bread, French onion soup, cassoulet, and poached pears with creme anglaise for dessert. We began the lesson with a brief knife skills lesson, and she took us through the steps of each recipe very clearly, making sure that each person got to experience the various techniques and preparations. At the end, we had a nice lunch to enjoy our efforts! I would definitely make each of the recipes again. Deb has a very well-equipped kitchen, and was happy to answer any and all questions about technique, gadgets, or the recipes. Deb is also very knowledgeable about the local restaurant scene and wine, it was really fun to chat with her about those things as well. If you have a group of 3-4, a private class is great! I understand that Deb will also be offering classes that you can sign up for individually, and this would also be a fun way to meet people and learn something new!
