It was a great time with good music and drinks. The entire class was about 2-2.5 hours depending on how long you took to add some finishing details and everything was provided from paint, canvas, cups, paintbrushes. You're allowed to bring any sort of drinks and snacks which was a lot of fun. They rotate which paintings they do and post it on the website as well and it's fun to just come and pint even if you're not going to follow the template! I highly recommend coming with a group of friends or for a date!

Great service, awesome paintings for purchase and the class was very welcoming and easy to follow…read more Would definitely go again

Ferris Coin and Jewelry has relocated to 199 Wolf Road from…read moreanother Albany location. The business dates back to 1930. Open six days a week. The door is locked, and you are let in after you speak into a microphone. It is a safe environment for all. The store is well lit and attractive. The staff is welcoming. The atmosphere is calm and private. If you have gold or Sterling Silver you do not want to keep, turn it into cash at this reputable store. I was amazed how professional, knowledgeable and efficient the staff is at Ferris. Within 40 minutes I left with a substantial check. The current price of gold is over $3,000. now! I never thought of jewelry as an investment, but it can be. For example, a 14 karat gold bracelet I bought in 1995 for $625. was worth an incredible $6,445. at today's gold market price. The store is also a high end jewelry store. Cases of new jewelry are displayed in cases around the store. There is also some estate jewelry available to purchase including Tiffany & Co. My SIL purchased three "second hand" David Yurman designer SS pieces of jewelry at 60% below retail. While we were there, a couple was shopping for a diamond engagement ring. The staff is experienced, knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant. I returned a few days later with my daughter who wanted to scrap/sell some gold and SS serving pieces. It was another positive experience! Phone: 518 434-3860 Website: ferriscoin.com

So I responded with oh I just need to get my ring sized and he complained that there was someone that was already waiting and has to get a bus and that he would have to size my finger and it would take too long so needless to say I will be telling everyone I know not to go here because I've never been treated so rudely and been dismissed. I'd rather spend more money and go somewhere where people are treated like humans. I'm actually disgusted. And I'm not sure if it had anything to do with my race.

This is definitely the most comprehensive makerspace I've ever been to!…read more There's been some recent staff changes, and things seem to be in a bit of flux, but the space is amazing, and I personally would love to become more active here when I am in the 518. I'd like to see some new equipment, and have some of the existing equipment repaired or replaced. But, there's really good bones, here. Having opted for a family membership with my partner, we've brought my spawn here several times. The kids space is pretty well set up. It would be nice if it were staffed a little more. I'd actually say that's one of the things the space lacks, is clear staffing. Everyone I've met so far has been friendly, and helpful. Very nice. The location is really central. Parking is the only real pain, weekends are pretty convenient. Lots of nearby food and beverage. Nibble moved in right next door. It's a great space.
