I visited Bernina World of Sewing this afternoon after having a difficult time with my new sewing…read moremachine, Bernina 590. Lynn Turner, an employee, was there to help me figure out what was causing the problem. She went through step by step in the sewing process of my machine and discovered that my needle was bent and it was as simple as that. She put in a new needle and it worked! I was so sure that something complex was the cause, but no!! Whew!! I love that store and have learned a lot with their classes and of course asking many questions when I visit. Thank you Lynn!!

Here's the reason why the Crafts Center earned this one star review. I enrolled in the beginning sewing class taught by Roberta. Roberta wasn't able to effectively teach all 8 students at once in my experience. For some students she was incredibly attentive and they (first time sewist) finished fabulous projects such as a jacket with set in sleeves. My experience was very different. Roberta could not help me read a beginner pattern (pull on Pietra shorts from Closet Core Patterns), shamed me for not using a Big 4 pattern (which I don't fit into for bust and hips so that wasn't an option) and making a muslin (which is super necessary for my body proportions to check fit), couldn't pivot to tell me how to adjust for high (15") waist/hip difference, or help me learn (in the last class) to sew a basic zigzag stitch. There were constant issues with the equipment in the room and basic supplies such as seam rippers were not provided (Roberta never told us to purchase them, so when I needed a seam ripper during class and there was none, I had to leave to go purchase one). Roberta chose not to wear a mask during the first session of the class (~January 2022) during an Omicron surge. I asked over email several times to talk to someone about this class so that no one else would have to have the atrocious experiences I did. They said that they reminded Roberta about the mask policy and suggested that I talk to someone at the front desk but for the two subsequent classes, there wasn't anyone at the front desk when I arrived to the building. Roberta apologized at the end of the class for not being able to teach me but the bigger question is why would the Crafts Center hire a teacher that can only teach some, but not all, students? The Crafts Center charged me $95 for class where I learned absolutely nothing. I could say you get what you pay for but in this case I paid for getting nothing. Future students should know that the Crafts Center has a zero refund policy once the class starts. Save yourself time and hassle by taking a beginning sewing class somewhere else that actually is invested in teaching *all* students with folks who are good teachers, not just good artisans.

Very impressive crafts center! I go here for night drawing…read moreclasses, and it's teeming with life. Every studio has some kind of class going on: clay, jewelry, photo, painting, woodwork, you name it. The classes have reasonable schedules that accommodate full-time working adults. The prices are quite low. I'm always excited to come here and learn some neat techniques despite it being Monday night. If you are considering anew hobby and looking for classes, check out this place first.

Our instructor was Reagan. She was positive, kind, patient, professional, and very talented. We did a very simple painting as we were limited on time and none of us are artists. It was a great teambuilding activity. They did have a bar with beer and wine. The rest of the staff was also very friendly and helpful They are in a plaza so there is plenty of parking

I recommend reading…read moreall of Ms Tamara's amazing Google Reviews if you are in doubt, but this camp has been such a lifesaver for us! My children love (love!) going to Ms Tamara's, and with the studio's flexible schedule, it has been one of the few we can count on with two parents working outside the home and two school-aged children. Both of our kids love Creating My Art. They are in a cozy, homey environment with couches, a dog and a cat. They create two to three art projects a day in a range of media (their favorite is Clay Day - they each have a shelf for their creations over the years). They also take a walk on the greenway each day and watch a movie at lunch. Seriously, it's the best mix of creative learning, enjoying the outdoors, and relaxing. Do not hesitate to book time at Ms Tamara's studio!
