    In town from Chicago- I did not do the crafts, but I stepped in and could see many people enjoying themselves. Sounds of hammering and pounding, so much fun! To be honest, I just wanted a drink, so I came in because they have a full bar. We got two Tito's sodas, great pours and even better prices. The sweetest husband and wife helped me. Cheers!

    A really fun time with a good variety of crafts and drinks! The Craftery is a concept that I'm shocked I haven't seen before. You choose a craft kit, make it your own, toss back a couple of very well-priced drinks, and have a blast talking with your friends. Crafts range from string art, to painting based on stencils, to concrete castings, leatherwork, and more budget-conscious things like bracelet making and embroidery. There's a reasonably wide variety of patterns and options as well as all of the tools and materials you'll need to make and customize. All the servers are also craft helpers. They were instrumental in helping me get my concrete to the correct consistency as well as brought our table a pitcher of mimosas! Couple tips: 1. Grab one of the hanging aprons if you're going to work with messy materials. My wife had a paint pen splash when she opened it and was able to recover, but a different color might have been an issue for continued enjoyment. 2. Time out your craft with the rest of your group. For instance, string art comes as a board, a stencil and some nails. It is going to take you a bit to get that ready compared to others who might be done in a couple hours. I will definitely be back! Its a great way to spend time with friends doing a thing!

    What a fun and cute date night!!! My fiancé found this place on Google and we decided to give it a try while we were in town. The ladies were so patient and helped us finish our masterpieces (even if that meant that they had to stay after closing). The cocktails and mocktails are great! We had so much fun and can't wait to go back again for the next project. Highly highly recommend this place!! Great ambiance and great customer service. Parking is a bit tricky so get there early to find street parking.

    There were some annoying customers but that didn't deter me from being an artist and a savant.

    Had a fun time crafting on a weekend afternoon. Wasn't quite sure what to expect but ultimately was pleased with the experience. I was hoping for more instruction with the craft, but staff did help when I asked them directly. Basically, they check you in, you sign a waiver, and they show you where you'll sit. You look over the craft and drink menus while staff checks in everyone else scheduled for that session. Staff move around the room and takes everyone's drink order first, then after drinks are delivered, they come around for craft orders. This setup meant we didn't start the actual crafting until 30min after we arrived. Everyone gets a packet with instructions and the supplies unique to their chosen craft. Other supplies are located on the table and around the room. It's a bit of a free for all and if you want help or a second drink, you need to be proactive. Checkout was a bit chaotic, with the next session's guests checking in and us cashing out and only one staff member taking care of all that. Overall, I'm glad I tried it.

    This place is so awesome! First it's back in a cute little alley and alcove and it's so well decorated. The inside is so cute too! We went in and got to pick from a drink menu and a craft menu and they had everything we needed and didn't press us to finish or rush. We got to spend our whole afternoon hanging out and crafting and it was so cute! I will be back!

    I went to the Craftery with friends and got a new macramé hanging plant holder ($34). It was one of the easier crafts that took 45 minutes to 1 hour. I also got a cran-ginger mimosa. The projects are completely DIY. You use the directions to complete the project of your choice and get help as needed. I definitely enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It is a cool place to go with friends.

    Learning leatherworking at the Craftery! It was hard to decide what to make because there were so many great options ⁣Finally settled on a custom leather flask cover for some Apple Pie moonshine. Each person gets a bucket with the supplies and a photo guide of how to do the crafts. The staff were knowledgeable and encouraging. This is definitely a place I'd love to come back to again & again in Nulu. Perfect for making one of a kind gifts or spending quality time with someone.

    OH MY GOODNESS!!! What a fun adventure this was!! The Craftery was one stop of my daughter's bachelorette party and what a great choice it was! Everyone had a blast and created something special to take home! There are many craft projects from which to choose (leather items, macramé items, string art, beaded jewelry, painted wooden signs and more) and at several price points. ALL of the materials to complete your chosen project are provided, even necessary power tools! Step-by-step instructions are provided for completing the project, but the staff are super helpful and will help you if you are craft-challenged like myself! Did I mention that to add to the fun of creating something special you can enjoy a cocktail or beer? There is bar with local beers and ciders, and creative cocktails from which to choose (note to self, lighten up on the alcohol when you are attempting to tie macramé knots! ) The shop was very clean (including the restroom) and organized and staff remained masked at all times. Parking is available behind the building and all around the Nulu neighborhood.

    Disclaimer: I am severely unartistic and I even had fun here!!! The Craftery is located in the Nulu Marketplace so a great location near some awesome restaurants. The inside is very cute and artsy with long tables for you and your friends to craft at. My fiancé and I went here with another couple this past fall and it was such a fun double date idea! We picked our crafts from a long list of options, ordered some seasonal drinks from the bar, and got to work crafting! We had so much fun and lots of laughs here and would totally recommend it for a date night or girls activity!

    Omgosh!! The Craftery is the most fun I have had in a while. Super cute, fun, & a great place to hang out & be creative! My niece & I enjoyed the afternoon there. This is a craft store where you pick a project, they provide all tools & supplies that you need, & you then you create your masterpiece. Don't worry, the staff is there if you need help. It has a bar with great drinks & you can bring in food (bonus: Emmy Squared next door has great pizza)!We made a macrame hanger & planter. It was a fantastic afternoon (open air venue is a bonus as well). I highly recommend checking it out.

So I searched online for nearby classes because I need someone to watch where I'm going wrong. Ms. Audrey's offered a beginner class at a time that worked for me and a price that was very affordable. The class had 4 other students and was held in her store. She is a patient instructor and made sure everyone was on the same step as we went along. She explained things in a way that just clicked. I will definitely return for a level 2 class.

They bring a passion with them to the expertise they offer you. That's what it's like to step into Ms Audrey's Emporium. The entrance is filled with art projects that invite you to explore within yourself- What do you wish to create? What crafting skill have you been meaning to pick up or grow? What part of you haven't you had a chance to express yet? And then Ms Audrey will ask you what you're interested in making, so she can help you bring it from idea to life! My artistic, seven-year-old daughter and I came to Louisville for spring break and enjoyed spending more than two days with Ms Audrey. We had stopped at the Speed Art Museum on our way into the city. Pro tip: The speed is free on Sundays. My daughter was inspired by some community artwork with mixed media on canvas. We showed a picture of the inspiration to Ms Audrey. She had the perfect materials and know-how to help us create our own masterpiece, inspired by the art we saw at the museum. My daughter did not want to do anything else in the city besides make art with Ms Audrey- we even skipped the children's museum. We learned different techniques for using the materials and I'll definitely be incorporating them as we continue to create at home. Ms Audrey helps you not only bring beauty into the world, but she makes learning a new craft accessible step by step. Her process helps you create while expanding your crafting skills along the way. She offers such a unique experience. As someone who continually strives to bring analog experiences to the younger generations, I fully approve and value the service she brings to the community. Her prices are absolutely affordable for the value and materials she has to offer. If you're considering starting a crafting hobby or working on a specific craft project, go see Ms Audrey.
