Terrible experience with this company: I am an art teacher and called to set up an art education…read moreaccount so I could get discounts. I told this to the representative. After being put on hold, and then taking a long time to get all of my data over the phone, she asked me what my first item was. I told her I thought I was setting up an educator account, yet she said, no. To do that, I would have to send a preliminary order in and get a quote for an art educator discount. Who has the time to do this? Why not just tell us what the educator price is per item, or our % discount from the start- like other companies? Total waste of time. To make things worse, I ended up ordering some supplies anyway, without taking the time to get an educator quote. I did this the easy, modern way, via internet. I got a a confirmation email with my order, I used a coupon for a 10% off, and the internet site validated it via my confirmation and credit card charge. I did this to receive my product asap for a upcoming lesson plan. I though everything was taken care of until..... The next day, I get a barely audible voice mail (no email) that tells me that Nasco regrets not being able to honor the 10% off, and asking my permission to charge my card for the full amount. This company is disorganized and completely unprofessional. Beware, especially if you are an art educator!!!

Cute indoor activity! I loved the glazes and the pottery options, but the service needed a little…read morework. Went here on a Saturday afternoon, and I was told it was an hour to hour and a half wait. That was fine with me. I spent an hour in the area and then I called to ask how much more time is left (not to be impatient, but to see what things I could do while waiting) and I was told it would be another 45 minutes. I started doing something else, and 10 minutes later, I was told it was my turn... that was really unfortunate. When I got there, the staff was super nice and helpful! However, I noticed that I wasn't given all the info other customers were getting. They were told about things like the tools to make textures and what not, but I didn't hear about it until halfway through I was done glazing. I wish there better communication. A great spot though for a calming indoor activity.

One-One Thousand is a new start-up centered around a community for makers of handmade craft's and…read moregoods. The shop/space in Madison houses about 10 or so artisans who work tirelessly honing their skills. One One Thousand offers various classes to the public where these artisans teach others their craft. From quilting to wood carving there is a class that could interest just about anyone. These creative workshops are the center of what One One Thousand is all about. The concept of such self motivated craftsmanship is a rarity these days. In a world of big box stores ruling the world, or at least America, getting back to the roots of doing it yourself is a breathe of fresh air. The space is big and bright and there is so much to look at around every corner. All the goods are displayed and available for purchase in the space as well. The variety of merchandise One One Thousand has to offer is phenomenal and the quality of craftsmanship is second to none. Whenever we are in Madison it's a must to stop by and see what's going on there.

I have been a long time collector and lover of Ephraim Faience Pottery…read more I had always seen in it media and at gift shops and even once at the Milwaukee Art Museum for the Arts and Crafts exhibition a few years where we met Kristin and saw some of the other potters working on their wares. I had always wanted to pay a visit to Lake Mills WI but never got there. Until September 28, 2013 We were fortunate enough to be in the area during the grand opening of the new art gallery. It was like a visit to Jerusalem! i was overjoyed with the sheer beauty of all of the items to gawk over! My pictures tell the story. The new gallery is gorgeous. The lighting was made specifically for the location. There was a section of odds and ends that i spent some time at but eventually chose a 9-12" gingko vase. Very special with a new type of glazing process. I am so happy and am planning another trip back to pick up my commemorative tile in honor of the grand opening

They will make sure you have all the instructions and supplies before you begin working on your piece. I usually select the paint your pottery option, over the mosaic tiling or glass work, also offered here. I do struggle tho with selection and pricing of the pieces they have available. The day we went, there was a lot of empty space on the shelves. The pieces that were left also seemed over priced for what they were. I wish they had more creative options, especially around the holidays.
