It had been painted. I chose to inform the person behind the desk. Evidently they didn't flip it over. It had been painted and she said oh. After weeks of going thru this my granddaughter finally got her piece they also said that if you don't pick up your piece by seven days, they throw it out . Horrible service i never heard a I'm sorry fr the lady with glasses who I dealt with or give my granddaughter a free piece To paint something?!?! They acted like they did nothing wrong.

Love this place! I have been to a few different painting places and I have to say this one has the…read moremost pieces to choose from to paint which I love! It's very nicely set up, the staff is friendly and welcoming and it's overall a great vibe! We walked in and were given a table but soon enough they had to start turning people away so I would suggest a reservation on the weekends! It is pretty pricey but I'm okay with that for the experience and atmosphere there :) I painted a vase and my daughter painted a corgi and it was $100 before tax. There is a sitting fee for each person painting and then you choose your piece you want to paint which has its own price tag. There is so much to choose from I am sure anyone can find something in their budget! I personally really like the way they provide paint cups of the 5 colors you choose ( I think if you asked nicely they might let you have another color if you started painting and realized you needed another color). So it's not like we need painting trays or anything like at other paint studios! I can't wait to pick up our pieces after the glazing! We will be back to paint more treasures!

Last week my BF told me to get in the car for a SECRET DATE and we ended up in Peoria, at J Draper…read moreGlass. Best surprise EVER! J. Draper Glass is a glassblowing studio that offers classes to the public. During our visit we learned about making those glass pumpkins that are EVERYWHERE in the fall (that I've been not-so-secretly coveting), and then, with hands-on assistance, we got to make our own! Jeremie is the owner of J. Draper, and she worked one-on-one with my boyfriend and me. She was incredibly helpful, nice, and funny. Jeremie and her associates have the whole process down to a science, telling you exactly where to stand, when, making the class safe as well as fun. It was so cool to pick out colors and then make my pumpkin, and I equally loved watching my classmates' pumpkins take shape. J. Draper offers all kinds of classes that cater to a variety of interests and price ranges. There are also dozens of pieces of glass art for sale at the studio if you just want to pick up something beautiful for yourself or a friend. I highly recommend taking a class at J. Draper Glass! It was a fun and unique experience that I'll remember for a very long time.

We had a great family experience with Jeremie and the team! We made two projects in our nearly two…read morehour session. They are very friendly, funny, and make sure everyone has a great time. This is a really cool hands on activity and doesn't require guests to be super artistic. Anyone can do it with their help and make some really cool items. We made ornaments and sun catchers that will make great gifts or cool items for the house. I would recommend this for a date night, family night ( we had 7 people ), team building or just get together night with friends. No complaints at all. Not sure on the official age recommendation, but as a mom I'd say 12 and over.

The Pekin staff are super friendly, interested in your projects and really go out of their way to get you to the end result you want. They have the same deals and sales but you get customer service that is sooooo much better! I will never again waste my time at the Peoria store when I can make the quick jaunt over here and have my projects done with an actual smile in less than half the time!

I think what we smelled was the Emerald Tea room, there was a bunch of ladies in there sitting around a table. I'd love to come back just to visit that, it smelled amazing! As you're walking around the store, you'll notice that there are lots of cute booths set up with all kinds of random affordable items in each section. There's all kinds of different types of things in the store from jewelry, household decorations, seasonal items, pictures, kitchenware, clothing, pet items, ect all kinds of different inventory! The store is huge by the way it just keeps on going. The cash register is near the front of the building but somewhat in the middle of the store. Tammy, the owner was working the cash register today. I tried to make small talk with her. I know a couple of ladies that have booth rentals here so it was finally nice to go in and check it out. I did buy a couple of items, including a "thankful" cheese platter, little red mushrooms, and a wooden soap dish. Overall, it's a really cute store and I just might have to go back and visit again next month.

It happened to be my niece's 6th birthday so I let her make a necklace. The people working were so wonderful and knowledgeable in helping her create her masterpiece. Some places like this do not like kids in their store but here they really treated her like an actual person who mattered not like a child who was going to break everything she touched. It seemed as if she was the most important person in the store. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. I just wish we didn't live out of state or We'd be frequenting way more often!!!
