    Incredible! To celebrate my moms birthday, we went to make some pottery! Melissa is an incredible instructor with deep technical skill and passion for her work. She created a fun space where we could explore and learn more along the way. Go take any class they offer here!

Staples had a good quality, but Blick's were very high quality AND cheaper than Staples. This was the first time that I shopped at this Blick as they recently moved into this former Joann store from their India Street location. While this store is a little more out-of-the-way, it is a wonderful size for Blick, and all on one level. Items are easy to find and nicely displayed, making the store a joy to browse in. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it. They also have some fun not-exactly-art things, but fewer books than I remember being at the India store. Lots of easy parking. Helpful service, too.

What I don't like is how sterile this new location is. I miss the homey down to earth feeling of the Little Italy location. I couldn't find the mount boards. I used to know where they were at the old location, and you could purchase single boards or a pack. After wandering around, I asked one of the workers. She was really great, and since they did not have 11x14, she suggested I purchase a larger board and they could cut it down. Went up and purchased the board, and the friendly worker call this other guy and explained what I needed. 5 minutes later, I had two boards, plus the extra that was cut off. There was some interesting things to look at while I was waiting. It doesn't look like the space is finished and I didn't know how long they've been here. But like I said, parking was so much easier which I really like!

    Wow wow wooooow!! I can't recommend The Hot Spot enough! Every staff member I've interacted with…read morehas been so kind, welcoming, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. They truly make every visit such a fun and relaxing experience. A special thank you to MJ for going above and beyond. She is one of the sweetest people I've met and generously offered to do a photoshoot for me and my two friends. She even surprised us by making our pottery on the house! It was such a thoughtful gesture that made the entire experience even more memorable Thank you, MJ, for creating such a welcoming space where I've been able to make my Miffy bowl series, with many more pieces to come. As a frequent customer, I'll definitely be back!!

There were a lot of…read moreoptions for what we could paint, and I love that the price of the piece is what you pay with no other fees added on. We spent three hours painting and hanging out. The space is mostly catered to kids, but we saw people of all ages crafting and chatting. On a warmer day, we probably would have sat outside as it can get really crowded inside. We were never bumped, but sometimes kids would run by on their way to get paint. My only other complaint (which is more so my fault) was that we sat at stools at a shorter table so I was hunched over for a while. I'm just old. The staff was really friendly, and I like that there's a BYOB policy. I would probably suggest going later in the evening to avoid all the birthday parties as it was pretty quiet when we came to pick up our piece near closing.

The employee filled out a…read moresheet on a clipboard, had me pay & asked when I wanted them, which was May 30th, day of party. The MORNING of the party when I'm running to pick up cake, ice, etc. I called Michael's from my car & asked if balloons were ready. This was approx. 2 pm. The man on the phone said " we can't find it". Not sure what that means so I asked what I should do next? He gave the phone to a woman who said, "bring your reciept to prove you bought it." When I purchased the lady said, "you're all set, you don't need anything else, just show up and we'll have it ready for you". I have no idea where the receipt is 2 months later!! I had to drive home turn my home upside down & found it. Sped to Michaels where they had my ballons by the register. I walked up and said "hi, are those my ballons"? She said "yeah, here" AND WALKED AWAY. Because I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet rather than run out I wanted a reason for all this so I asked "do we know what went wrong" to which this lady who looked like the manager replied, "the lady who took your order was crazy, she doesn't work here anymore". What?!?! Super unprofessional. Manager didn't even look at my receipt or at least apologize. Horrible experience. I will NEVER buy my balloons from Michael's & will try & stear clear of any purchases in the future.

    Holy crap I didn't even know they made Cream Savers anymore. Apparently, if you need them in your life, you need to go to Michael's.

It's located in the Liberty station property which I really enjoy visiting. They offer sewing machines to borrow which was really helpful before committing to your own! Hannah, the class instructor was very informative, friendly, available, and patient. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor! For the class we got to practice on some paper before jumping into our pillow case that we got to pick out a fan pattern and take home! I will be returning back for the part 2 of this class! Lastly, I noticed this company offers more than just sewing! I recommend checking it out to do either individually, with your child, friend, or partner!

The lathe instructor basically makes your piece for you, since he is unable to effectively teach you how to do the project in the time alloted. Perhaps teaching first time students how to sharpen tools could be omitted from the session? The glass classes fill up fast, but good luck getting any actual help. The instructor for our class couldn't be bothered to label our pieces, which caused embarrassing mix-ups during the pick up process. Get this: the instructor knew exactly whose pieces were who's but still had admin conduct a passive aggressive email witch hunt to students. Wouldn't you rather just be told you picked up the wrong piece, as opposed to being blindly led down some weird path of discovery? Yeah. Me too. But hey, I was offered $10 off my next $125+ class. Lmk if you want it! I certainly don't.
