This is a wonderful place to have a date night!…read more My date and I learned how to paint alongside other people who signed up for the class. There were only 10 participants (including ourselves), so it was not too rowdy at all. You're expected to bring your own wine and snacks for the event because it will last up to four hours (6-9pm) but time goes by quickly when you're having fun. There will be music playing while you paint and you're free to talk, so don't stress about this being taking super seriously. The painting is taken step-by-step and the instructor was a very patient young woman. She encouraged us to ask questions and request help if needed. She who knew her craft, but never looked down on us if we weren't painting exactly to the original material. After all, art is subjective. By the end of the event, you'll be able to take your painting home so it's encouraged to leave your signature. I felt incredibly proud of my work and it's a great conversation topic to go on about for the rest of the night. I would come back over and over again, as long as I have a partner with me. It's more fun with someone you know.

We were able to talk and paint and also listen to the instructor. Honestly as someone who is not artistic my painting came out pretty nice. I would definitely come back and recommend to do this for a bday, girls night or date idea. There is a parking garbage near by . It's Hoboken, so parking is not easy so keep that in mind and go early.

There is slides, trampoline, ball pit, pretend super market, pretend farm, and even a room where a Sound Start was having a reading/singing session.

I've also been here for adult crafting nights and enjoyed that a lot as well!

Updating my review after almost 3 years because I am officially hooked on taking classes at Blue…read moreSkies. I've taken the multi week workshops pretty consistently since summer 2025, both hand building and wheel, and have fully fallen in love with it. I've tried multiple instructors and they are all wonderful, incredible teachers, fun to hang out with, etc. It's become my favorite way to disconnect. Your 6-7 week course might feel a little pricey, but you get unlimited clay to play around with (you pay firing fees separately), your weekly class, unlimited open studio time to go work on your projects, and use of the studios tools. After realizing how easy it is to spend HOURS here, I've decided there are much worse ways to spend money. I'm okay with it. Judy's classes on Sundays have become my favorite way to cap the weekends. If you are looking for a new hobby, try Blue Skies!

First rule of pottery class...don't be sorry. Second rule…read moreof pottery class...just have fun. Our instructor, Sue, was welcoming as soon as we arrived. Each class holds a maximum of 8 people (please don't be late). This was always something I wanted to do ever since I saw the film, Ghost. Sue makes it a point to know everyone's name from the start but she gave me a special one...mom, because I came with my 21 year old son. Lol. She kept the entire class laughing throughout by getting to know each of us personally. I really enjoyed the group we were with. I already knew that I wanted to make a bowl so I can display it in my home. I wound up with a little dish instead. On my 2nd attempt I was like okay, you got this, you can make a bowl. I must have put too much pressure on the clay while going too fast on the pedal. Sue shouts out...look at mom go, she made another good looking plate. I guess I can use it as a jewelry dish. The pieces need time to dry. Choose the colors you want on the wall and they will glaze it for you. You pick up the finished pieces in 4 weeks. Please check out their website for prices. This was an introduction session but they also have weekly classes. I thought it was so sweet of Sue to ask if I had fun. I replied...I sure did because YOU made it fun for all of us!!! I highly recommend this activity if you've never done it before. I found it very therapeutic. You will also have the softest skin ever after you wash the clay off your hands. I had a blast. This place is located in Hoboken, NJ, hometown of Frank Sinatra. It's full of tree lined streets, cafes, and amazing restaurants. So come make a day out of it.

I've always Been treated with kindness and hospitality . Their efficiency is hard to beat. Many times my jobs were done right in front of me, or I take a walk and it's completed in an hour.

I trust her with my most very important jobs.. the results are always overwhelmingly pro, clean and beautifu.

I initially walked by this place walking back home from a corepower class and there was a sign…read moreoutside that said "Hat Class in Progress." I was intrigued. A few weeks later, I walked by again and there was no hat class in progress. I popped in just to see what EVH is all about, as I love super niche businesses like this. I walked in and the owner was helping out a few other people, so I just perused around for a second. I had my airpods in with no music playing, hiding in plain sight. I heard the owners AWESOME British accent and thought to myself "wow it's really a vibe in here." At this exact moment, I spotted a hat that really caught my eye. It was a hat that had a mix matched denim pattern that could be paired with almost any outfit. I had a vision of me buying this hat and it becoming an integral part of my personality. "Oh, there goes the guy with the cool hat walking up 1st ave" onlookers would say as they walked by, jealous of my cool new hat. Cute girls would come up to me at the Wayland and or Ding-a-Ling saying "Oh my god, I love your hat!" ... "You haven't been to East Village Hats!??!?!?!" I would respond to them with a cheeky, endearing smile. However, when I picked up the hat it was like $130 and that's just out of my price range for a hat at this moment. Also, I have an extremely large head so the hat was probably a pipe dream all along. A man could dream can't he...?

The professional artist, Bulgarian born Milena, is one incredibly talented artist. I have purchased landscapes, portraits of my dogs, a goblet, and numerous handmade greeting cards.

I highly recommend all comers to stop by and see the wonderful artwork.

Our instructor guided us through the process with care and attention while also really allowing room for our own personalization and hands-on creating. So often, with other companies that offer creative classes, you wind up standing and watching more than you are actually participating, and the end result doesn't feel like something you yourself made or even quite understand the process behind making. Other times, you wind up with a product that may have been fun to make, but it's not something you will ever use or display. Happy to say that this was definitely NOT the case for A Glass Act -- you get to make your creation, every step of the way, from start to finish; and the instructors are very generous with their extensive knowledge of glassworks. I look forward to taking more classes (there's so many awesome ones listed to choose from!) and would highly recommend A Glass Act to others - it's a fun and fascinating process with truly beautiful results that you'll be happy to display (in your home and on Instagram!)
