Their gorgeous pieces are unique and high quality. They also offer a variety of wonderful classes at the store. I attended a 3 series Mah Jongg beginner class and it was fabulous.

I didn't have a lot of confidence ahead of time about this store because their online presence is not as great as some of the bigger stores, but I was thrilled to find you can't judge a needlepoint store by its website. Great selection of unique canvases I hadn't seen online or in other shops, as well as many canvases by the well known needlepoint designers. Because you're in Chapel Hill, of course you can find all the UNC needlepoint you could ever want, and they even have a somewhat smaller selection for the Duke student/grad/fan in your life. If you're in the area, this one is worth a visit.

I am so glad that I was finally able to make it Crazy Glaze. The staff is friendly, and I think…read morethey have great pieces to choose from! For those who are not aware of what they offer, they have canvas paint classes you can sign up for (very similar to wine and design) private parties, or you can just come in and paint any one of the numerous pieces they offer. I'm sure I am missing something :) At the time I went, I was with my son. I am sure many can agree that doing anything with a young child can be difficult. This particular day, my child was being difficult so we ended up leaving without finishing our paintings. The ladies who work there were so helpful and nice with ensuring us that we will be able to come back and finish our paintings whenever we could. I think we ended up having to go back two separate times, so having that option is so nice! The overall process for painting a ceramic piece is pretty simple. The staff is very helpful with assisting you when it comes to deciding on colors to use, brainstorming text ideas to include, etc. The location is small, but there is plenty of room! I did get a little nervous when my son was walking around because the store is not child proof, but I think as long as you are an observant parent, there should not be any issues.

None of the tables were set up and we didn't even come in the morning. They didn't have much of a color choice or pottery selection. The brushes were really old, the bristles falling off and bent in every direction. You can't paint with frayed bristles. There were no large brushes, just really small ones. Everything there was really expensive too. $20 for a small piece. It wasn't even detailed. The chairs were ripped up and looked like a dog's 10 year old chew toy. They barely gave us any water to wash our brushes and no towel or sponge to get them dry.

If you are trying to stay on budget, I definitely recommend going on a day when they offer discounted studio fees. We went on a Monday and only paid $2 for the studio fee, which was a great deal. I am not the most artistic person, but I had so much fun. It was the perfect way to celebrate and do something a little different. I would absolutely go again and tap into my very limited artistic ability lol. If you are thinking about going, I recommend making a reservation ahead of time.
