My wife is an artist and used to come here a lot, but it's been a while since her last visit. And…read morenine years since my only previous visit. We were in the area so decided to take a joint visit. Very cool of building with a huge variety of art on display and for sale. My favorite areas were the glass blowing and sheet metal/foundry areas. They were blowing glass during our visit. I was amazed at the amount of expensive equipment used, especially in the sheet metal and foundry. Free admission and well worth a visit if you have any interest at all in art.

This review is solely based on the glassblowing class we took at Hot Shops…read more Tucked in the Millwork Commons area, Hot Shops made for such a fun and unique birthday experience! I booked a one-hour glassblowing class for two people, and it was hot in every sense of the word. We got to choose what we wanted to make, pick out our colors, and then our instructor guided us through every step. They made the process approachable, fun, and safe--even for beginners. If you're looking for something creative and memorable, I highly recommend it!

Rosy Clay Co was awesome! My friend and I took the 12pm class and had an absolute blast. The…read moreinstructor was so kind and guided us through each step, making the whole process feel approachable--even as beginners. We got to make three different pieces and choose our favorites to keep or buy at the end. It was surprisingly therapeutic and easier than I expected! While the activity was delightfully messy (as clay should be), the studio itself was clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully set up. I especially appreciated the small class size--fewer than 10 people--so everyone got individual attention. Highly recommend!

Wow! I was so happy to walk into this little shop; there is a huge selection of yarn here. What…read morereally makes this special is that it's not the wall of acrylic that you would normally see when you go to buy yarn. This is all wool, beautiful colors and textures of wool yarn. Which, you might be surprised, is now softer and less scratchy than most acrylic yarns. Though some of these yarns are naturally at a somewhat higher price point than low-cost yarn at a big-box store, I was pleased to see that there really are budget-friendly items here. That it might be better to do a smaller project with high-quality yarn rather than buy a large quantity of cheap stuff. The owner was very friendly and helpful. It was so nice talking with her. She didn't make me feel like I was expected to make a purchase. Narrator: the reviewer did in fact make a purchase. So - we will see how this "magic loop" knitting works. Wish me luck! I know that if I have trouble I can go back for advice...don't try that at a big-box store!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. From the moment you walk in until you leave, you…read moreare treated like family. Today was our first visit having found it through a Groupon deal. I thought it would be a fun little excursion for myself and my mini me who loves all things art. She picked out a fairy jewelry box and myself a bowl with an intricate design. Joe, the owner, explained the entire process step by step and Mason, the manager, assisted with learning techniques and using tools for our particular projects. Well my bowl ended up being an hours long deal because I am so particular and determined (Joe said it's a strength called being deliberate). They didn't bat an eye and allowed me all the time I needed to complete my bowl. That's not to say I NEEDED to finish in one sitting, I just can't leave things unfinished. You can work on something a little over several days if need be, only paying your studio fee each time. We both had such a blast, we're considering a membership so we can continue the fun and visit our new friends Joe and Mason when they open at their bigger and better location this upcoming weekend. Go create something special as a gift or for yourself. You can spend time with friends and family or chat with the great people working there. No doubt about it, we'll be back! (They also have Date Night events and birthday parties!)

Being new in town this place seemed like a lot of fun. After finding a great deal on Groupon, my…read moresister and I decided to check it out. The place was clean and the staff was super friendly. They were super helpful and were able to share some great information about the local area. There was a huge variety of things to paint and a great color selection. After painting you wait a week and then go pick it up. There is a studio fee which isn't too expensive. The activity can get pricy depending on what you choose to paint. Overall super fun. Will definitely return for the holidays with all the different pieces they offer.

She was very helpful, patient and fun and kept us engaged in our own paintings while she demonstrated techniques!

Did I mention she has a full bar and snacks in her studio??

I love my new glass and metal frames! It's just so rare that you find products that are truly…read morehandmade anymore. I can tell that Valerie put a whole lot of love and care into the making of my new favorite frames. I will be putting my frames on a table with quite a few others and feel certain they will steal the show. These frames are as close to perfect as you can get. The welds are spot on and the real glass is built into the frame which is fabulous. You just slide the photo, mat and easel back up through the back of the frame behind the glass. As mentioned, the glass is real glass which I love; It just feels better than acrylic. The easel back itself is also of great quality. I love my new frames and am so glad to have found the Painted Light Stained Glass website through their Etsy shop. I have to add that I neglected to take a photo of the packaging but can say it was quite professional. I even got a free sticker:). All around excellent service and great quality frames at a fair price. Thanks Valerie!

I was immediately struck by the multiple pottery wheels when I walked in - the perfect place to have a pottery party or take a class and get your hands dirty! I was amazed by the students' creations ready to be fired and the shelves of already-finished works of art. Complimentary coffee and tea were a fantastic, completing touch. The only downside was that I didn't have time to sit at a wheel myself and spin a creation of my own - I'll be back!
