Have a desire to start or hone your photography passion? I would gladly recommend Lenses & Brushes…read moreas your starting place. Having recently rekindled my desire for photography, I've taken Heidi's Photo 1 and Photo 2 courses. The one on one or classroom learning experience just can't be beat. Questions can be answered right away for any confusion you may have. Heidi does an excellent job of clearly explaining the process of photography. I've a much better understanding of how to correctly use my new camera, and I keep practicing to put my new knowledge to better use. I hope to one day take the analog course and delve back into actual film! But wait, there is more. Not only can you do photography here, you can also take art painting lessons, and summer camps for kids are also available. Heidi also does an introductory course using Adobe's Lightroom for editing your digital photos. Lenses and Brushes is located in the lower level of the Mercantile building, and the easiest door is located on 8th street directly across from The Warehouse. Check out the website for all of the courses and activities offered, and keep watch on the Facebook page for photo gathering and happenings.

If you need ANY life event documented, and documented expertly... Travis is your guy. For as…read morecontroversial as it may be, I reached out to Travis to have him document my father's military funeral for the family who couldn't attend. He was willing to work with us, he brought in a still photographer to assist him, the video he put together was.... Guys it was beautiful. A complete tear jerker. The audio editing was immaculate... I just couldn't have asked for anything better. The stills were great. Between the video and stills we captured the entire event without ever having to pose or do anything uncomfortable or unnatural. He's a master at his art and it shows through his communication, coordination, and in his final products. Well done Travis, and thank you for the memories.

He's reliable, honest, and even offers drone footage - which we think is a must these days. What really stood out was the extra effort: Travis staged little things himself, like turning on the fireplace or adjusting decor so everything looked just right. I've attached a few of the shots here, but you can check out the full set on our listing (2305 E Hidcote St). Highly recommend - thanks again, Travis!

I REALLY wish I could write like an actual novel for this lol. I also know I'm so far behind…read more Better late than never. Luckily, I rarely forget experiences...especially one like my first experience blowing glass. What an INCREDIBLE time we all had here. Like so many who have recently wanted to try this...I watched Blown Away on Netflix. For the record tho...ever since I was a kid and we went on a field trip to the Corning Museum of Glass I have ALWAYS wanted to get into glass blowing. I think I could actually create some beautiful pieces IF I actually jumped in and started doing it. I've wanted for years to do it. So when you have a passion like that...I feel like you give it your all and then some. This past Winter I finally tried. We just made drinking glasses. Which is fine. It was a good start. Oh, when I started watching Blown Away, that show helped me confirm that I have waited long enough to try this haha. So a group of us went. There's 5 of us in our little circle of close friends. That made it extra special for me: Ok! The studio is very well laid out. Displays are absolutely beautiful. There is plenty to look at whether you are there to shop or you're there waiting for your class to begin. Look at all of it. It's all so inspiring. People create those pieces! Which just makes me think even more how amazing humans are! The people who work up front, incredibly nice. This place is run beautifully. The layout is next level, cleanliness...again, next level. The Hot Shop is great. Totally different than I was expecting. You see them on Blown Away, online, other various studios and you kinda expect them to be these hot boxes lol. This one is very open, not hot at all. I dressed in all kinds of booty shorts, tank bc I have neuropathy and heat makes the pain ...super intense. Even when I stood at the glory hole turning the rod (lol) to set in the colors and shape the piece, my neuropathy didn't bother me at all. Now, I'm sure if you were there for awhile, making bigger pieces, etc that you'd break a sweat. All of us tho stayed relatively dry for the duration of our class time. Wonderful experience. I still can't get over HOW. MUCH. FUN. THIS. WAS!! Josh was our instructor. What an amazing guy. I feel like we really lucked out getting him as our instructor. Super chill, easy to talk to, he wasn't judgey at all for all us 100% amateurs haha. Just an all around great guy. I kinda had a low key crush on him haha! He has this incredible beard too. Made me jealous. I can't grow one like that haha Anyway! Josh has been doing this a long time. Works at 2 studios here in Boise/Garden City area. VERY knowledgeable. Explains the process absolutely perfectly. It's always fun for me to see someone like Josh and love what he does. It's very obvious how much he enjoys what he does and I believe that added to the amazing time we had there. The pricing...well, I leave that up to yall to look up haha. It's glass blowing ffs lol, so expect to pay. Maybe that's why I haven't started it ... yet. It's an experience hobby. I hate calling it a hobby tho especially bc I'd like to get into and have it more than just a hobby. It's one of those experiences I've always wanted to try, finally did, and felt pure joy in my soul. It just made me so happy. I'm sure when/if you try it..you'll feel the same way. There's nothing like it. And even tho we just did drinking glasses, I look at my piece and think....damn! I created this! Green and brown are my favorite colors..:especially together. My piece was darker than the others. They give you a selection to choose from. They're nice choices, but I wanted to create my own with my own colors and own swirling type design. So much fun! I could go on, but I know Yelp is gonna cut me off. If you have ever thought about doing this....why keep putting it off? I put it off for decades! Literal decades. One of the biggest mistakes. Seriously can't wait to go again! Thanks for reading, Yelp'rBlowers! Cheers!

The service from the salesman to the sales floor people to the actual installation crew... 100%, A+ and Superb! The carpet and pads that they use are all top quality but definitely affordable.

I had about 1200 sqft of carpet and pad removed and then installed. They absolutely turned what was beginning to be VERY stressful and budget bursting experience into a pleasant and budget friendly experience.
