They are helpful and showing me merchandise. Although they are busy, they are patient and helpful. I had a little difficulty at checkout as prices weren't ringing up correctly and Ruby was very patient and kind and stuck with me to correct the situation. It's really nice to walk into a store where people are friendly and helpful. I'm not from the area. I've been to a number of art supply stores and this is the most helpful one I've ever been to. Sadly, they're going out of business. I hope their staff find jobs that they like and where they are appreciated. You couldn't have a better team of people working together.

I should bring the garments as well, since they keep the buttons behind the counter and I have old lady eyes so it was a little tricky to explain what I wanted from a bit of a distance but I did manage.

Shopping nearby I decided to stop in here and see if maybe I could find some frames and make those dreams of mine come true. Short story here, I didn't. They were having a sale on frames, but it appeared that everyone else had the same idea as I did, or maybe they all needed the same size as I did. Each area I would go to the size I needed was gone. With Michaels being one of the few stores where everything they have is on the shelves, I was out of luck here. I have to say, I was amazed, however, with the way they were able to cram a whole store into this space. It is not your conventional setup for a Michaels and they somehow managed to get the whole store in here.

I contact them the week I was supposed to pick it up and they said it would be another 3wks! Firstly, if they were going to be late on the delivery, shouldn't they be the one to contact and inform me? Secondly, they new my event was that week, so again, if you are unable to meet your timelines, you should be contacting me ahead of time with options or at least allow me time to figure something else out. I was stressed, but did not become angry until talking to them. They were rude and tried to withhold my money. I had already paid upfront for everything yet they had the audacity to say they wouldn't refund me until the dress arrived. Make that make sense?! A dress. That would be arriving weeks later, that I cannot use is what's holding up my refund? I drove over there and collected my money immediately. I will not be returning or referring them to others. Quite disappointing

My daughter and I stopped by yesterday evening after discovering that the fabric stores where we…read morewere originally headed had already closed. What a blessing that turned out to be! Upon entering we found ourselves surrounded by a huge selection of the most beautiful variety African imported fabric we could ever have possibly wished for: lace, george, aso oke,, wax prints, silk, velvet, brocades, chiffon, batik..., you name it and you will find it here. There is also beautifully-designed men's and women's clothing for sale, from everyday wear to fashions for a glamorous evening out, or an elegant wedding. We will encourage family and friends to shop here with our people, where the customer service was excellent; friendly, kind, helpful, respectful and welcoming, even though we discovered it was actually closing time, We are so pleased in every way to have found a new business to support.

Eventually, I received a text from someone at the shop. Unfortunately, it became clear that customer service is not a priority here. The person who texted me told me to just reschedule, but there was no follow-up or flexibility offered. Later, I was automatically enrolled in a class without being consulted, and the date didn't work for me as I was out of town. I'm now moving back to my home state and can't attend any future sessions, but they refused to offer any refund--even a partial one. While I understand this is a small business, the lack of communication and unwillingness to work with customers is disappointing. I'm now out $195 with nothing to show for it.

Been getting back into jewelry making and have been overwhelmed with where to start and needing some technical guidance, so I decided to take a private class at S & A. Regan was my instructor. She was a very patient and insightful teacher who offered a wealth of knowledge, tips and tricks. I scheduled the class while I was shopping in the store and showed her a few of the items that I had an interest in learning how to make. She did I great job of listening and then tailoring a class accordingly. Once we had our session, it was very loose and she continued to structure the direction according to my whims. All while remaining very intentional. Great experience! Go check them out! Even if you're not into making anything, they have a fine selection of unique handmade jewelry for buying.

We were doing a little theme visit, arts and crafts. Earlier we made candles and then we headed to our afternoon reservation to make paint pottery at All Fired Up. Once we arrived we were instructed to pick out our piece we desired. We were seated at the front window, just the two if us. It was nice to sit with each other without others around. I chose two pieces, a topper for $13 and a strawberry container for I think $27. I felt the pricing was extremely reasonable especially since you used their glaze, they fire it, and they set up and clean up for you. They also offer a military discount, which handled around the cost of the tax. The staff were great. They were always making sure we were ok, without being to over the top. They kept things moving. . They do offer "private" parties and birthday parties. The set up was pretty nice, and quaint. There was a large table set in the back. While I was there there was two parties. Each party brought a cake and snacks. There are aprons available and an abundant selection of supplies available. It looks like they also do arts with glass. Parking can be tricky. So I suggest to leave time to navigate that, so you are not late for your appointment. We found street parking a few streets over. But, there was slot a lot where you paid.

We were instructed to pick out any item we wanted, and they even had simpler options for those of us who aren't as artistic. Once we made our selections, we were able to grab our colors and brushes and start painting. The two-hour time limit was very reasonable, and the staff did a great job checking in and reminding us of our time. After finishing, we wrote our names on the bottom, and the staff took care of the rest. They glaze your finished piece, and you can return in about a week to pick it up. The space is small and simple, but it's a great choice for anyone looking for a fun activity or planning a group event. I also found the prices to be very reasonable.
