I am neither an artist or art critic. I don't fully understand auteur theory in the physical arts…read moreand only use phrases like "aesthetic fundi" to secretly mock pretentious listeners. I do however believe quite strongly in the phrase "Happy wife, happy life" and the corollary "I really oughter get creative with the daughter". The Art Collective is an EXCELLENT place for creative gifts for wives and daughters. This is not to discount Dads liking the stuff artistic (so to speak) but I am recommending this store in this particular review as a primo source for can't fail gifts for the wife or daughter who doubt your ability to be fun or even spell "style" with a "y". This store is the place you've been looking for. Recommended

When you first walk in you are greeted and presented with the various projects that the shop has to offer. After selecting pottery painting, canvas painting, or glass fusing you are explained the next steps. We each selected two objects to paint and spent the afternoon in the studio painting away. We go pick up our art in 10 days which is the processing time. The shop does have a strict 60 day policy to pickup within or your art is thrown out. A fun and unique experience!

My husband and I attended a paint your own baby Yoda class (because... who doesn't want their very…read moreown 50 year old smol alien?!) at Hot Fired Arts. It was great fun! Instructions were clear, supplies were all we needed and the instructor took time to help my husband when he fell behind (I mean, took his time). The space was set well for the crowd, and there was enough room that we weren't bumping elbows. Bring your own drink-- stop by a local brewery on the way or visit the Dunkin' next door if that's more your speed. As a comparison, this is much more of an art class than a Paint Nite experience, in my opinion. That was totally fine for us, as we planned more for the evening. The general selection of ceramics was a bit smaller than other local places, but they offer a variety of stuff to choose from. In addition to the adult paint nights, they also offer kids classes (two hours, drop off). We'll be back.

I needed special size extra long bolts for my car that I could not find supplied at any store…read more Jesse made the bolts for me exactly the length and thread I needed and it took him no time at all! He was very fast and and even coated the bolts for me so they do not rust. I would not hesitate hiring Jesse Robinson for any size custom blacksmith work. Since Jesse did such a great job the first time with making specialty bolts I decided to use his skilled welding services again for repairing my exhaust as it had cracked but did not need full replacement and for a Saab, those are quite expensive for a new one! Jesse quickly saw which connection needed replacement, then cut the old one out and perfectly welded on a new connection and pipe in place so that nobody could tell it was not the factory exhaust once he was done with it! He also completed all the work on a holiday! Would definitely use Jesse again next time I need a quality welder.
