Lots of kids painting and a mural for everyone to be a part of. The staff did a great job managing the event given there was just one person running the show with a lot of interest.

Graphaids is a little slice of art supply heaven tucked away with parking! Every person working there is so knowledgable. You can tell they care and actually do art themselves. The store carries so many trusted and amazing brands, from high end products to alternatives with many affordable options. My kids also love going and exploring and can stay there for as long as their mama wants :) They will also special order things if you request it. I would so much rather support them than any online retailer any day. They also care about their community and hold great little events. Truly a special place.

I also appreciate that most of their frames are kept in good condition. I'm used to having to dig through their various frames trying to find one that wasn't plagued by dings and or scratches and I was so happy to see every frame I picked up on my recent trip was is perfect condition. It certainly helped to speed along my visit. Most reviews here say that the customer service is great. However, on my visit, the only employee I saw was working checkout. Thankfully I didn't need any help on my trip and was able to use self checkout so I could breeze through that process. In all, this Michaels, since it's close to where I work and I won't have to deal with the parking lot, will be a great location for quick supply runs. I wouldn't make it my go to Michaels, but when I just need one or two things, this will be a great option.

I'm a bit annoyed at the overall disorganization and blasé approach that this studio has…read more I took a one-hour bowl making class in February and was pretty disappointed. The instructor seemed inconvenienced at helping novice learners, offering those who messed up to give them a "demo bowl" to push them out rather than just assisting them in making a new bowl. Everything was rushed and it seems like they took the class/shift with disdain. People in the class would look around confused, as they thought it was an hour-long class, but we were being pushed out at the 45 minute mark. I got a notification that our bowls were ready for pickup. The pickup pile is a shelf with 50 different pieces, all with different dates. Some have names, some don't. Never got my bowl because it wasn't there. Tried to message and they are out of office for 5 days. After I left this review they told me I can come into the studio to find my bowls. Came back, still not there! Asked for them to be shipped, absolute silence.

Parking was easy, there is a street around the corner near the crosswalk with plenty of street parking spots that are free. The building is very large and spacious with plenty of room for many people to come and do pottery/ceramics projects. I was there around 6pm and it was not crowded at all, there were plenty of spots open and available for people to use. Upon arrival, there were no signs and nobody greeted me, or the people who filtered in after me. We all kinda stood around wondering, but we couldn't tell who was an employee and who was just a regular person there. People would look up and smile at us or stare at us but nobody said anything until precisely the start time of the class, then suddenly the instructor came to get us. It would have been nice to maybe have a sign such as "please wait for instructor here" or something like that. Once class started though, super fun! The instructor was down to earth, friendly, and patient with us going from station to station to assist everyone as we performed each step. I loved getting my hands dirty and I loved the ease of following the step by step instructions. Watching my bowl take shape was so fun. Learning how to control the pedal speed and how much pressure to apply to the clay to get the shape you want was pretty cool. My favorite part was creating the inside of the bowl and watching the sides of the bowl thin upwards. At the end, you get to choose between several colors of glaze and they will email us to come back to pick up our bowls once they are glazed and dried. I chose Midnight Black to match my kitchen colors. I cannot wait to pick it up when it's ready!
