What a spectacular hidden fiber arts shop offering supplies for knitting quality woolens or…read moresynthetics and all sorts of creative ideas. This is truly a hidden gem on the North Shore and Cape Ann.

A few years ago, the shop had a live on-line sale, but it was open for in-person customers. I'd…read morebeen buying yarn from the shop for years, including under previous owners. On that day, I decided to go to the shop to see what yarns were on sale. Very quickly, I found two kinds of yarn I wanted to buy.While the owner was trying to sell on line, I said that I wanted to pay for the yarn. She became angry that I was bothering her during the on-line sale. She did take the payment for the yarn, but what she didn't know was that she'd just lost one of the regular customers. I never went back and do not intend to. With that business sense, I don't even know if she's still there. I wouldn't be surprised if she hadn't survived.

Nice selection of glass beads, findings, one of a kind artisan beads, tools, stringing material, she has it all.

Wendy led a mobile candle-making workshop for my sister's bachelorette and we had so much fun!…read moreSuccessful workshop and very satisfied Bride & Squad! Some things I loved in no particular order: 1. Wendy was helpful and responsive during the planning/booking process. 2. She was professional, prepared, and on time. 3. The lesson and materials were of high quality. Wendy demonstrated value with her advice and recommendations, offering us insights into how we could make our own candles without the professional equipment, on a lower budget, or just getting creative with different vessels etc. All the scents she brought with her (there were soooo many and she'd have even more if we went into the studio!) smelled AMAZING and true to what they were supposed to smell like. 4. The display and attention to detail were just phenomenal. Check out the pictures! We decorated the space for the party of course and the setup really enhanced the vibe we were going for! So beautiful and classy! 5. Wendy is just a really cool person! It was a pleasure working with her as well as just chatting and laughing with her during the craft. The whole group (8 of us) had nothing but praise afterwards. The highest recommendations for this wonderful local business! I definitely want to visit the studio and will be using Create & Escape again for future events, and you should too!

The employees showed us around and made sure we knew where everything was and how to paint our pottery. There was a wide range of items to paint, so there's something for everyone's interests and budget. There was also a wide range of colors and paint brushes. I've done pottery painting a few times and I typically feel a little let down when I get the finished piece back... but not this time! Clay dreaming's instructions and tips for painting helped my piece to turn out just how I wanted it. Thank you to clay dreaming and I recommend this place for a wonderful date night!

Wish we had more time with our projects. We started about 10 minutes late because the instructor…read morewas picking up coffee and muffins for the class, then she took about 10 minutes to go through attendance/contact info. 20 minutes out of 90 is kind of substantial. Maybe attendance could be dealt with once the class has clay in front of them and they can use the time to prep clay/think of surface decoration. Nice idea, (although eating muffins with hands in clay isn't easy) execution could use some refining.
