We decided to try Color Café for a fun pottery painting outing. It was me, my two daughters, my…read moregranddaughter, and me, and we were looking forward to spending some creative time together. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out to be a great experience. * No blank pottery to paint - Everything available already had printed designs on it. We were hoping to paint our own plates, cups, or bowls, but there were no plain pieces available. * Very limited selection - The inventory felt small. We were told a party of 20 was coming in, and it seemed like the blank items might have been saved for them. * Unhelpful service - When we asked about options, the staff didn't seem very helpful or friendly. * Pricing - There's a $10 studio fee per painter, and many of the stamped platters were around $42 more, which felt expensive for items that were already pre-designed. Since there was nothing blank to paint, we ended up leaving without doing the activity. We were hoping to try something different from Color Me Mine, but unfortunately this visit didn't work out for us. We're going to Color Me Mine.

Every class I have taken has been extremely well priced for the value received.

The instructor was knowledgeable and patient which is kind of what you want around fire hot enough to bend metal. The process takes speed, strength, and precision. All crafts highlight a body, mind, spirit, locus in our human experience. You have to summon a portion of courage to stand next to a forge and grab red hot metal. In other words, it's a great way to practice badassery. Look at my knife(letter opener)!

I find her prices to be reasonable and her work serves to add a certain charm to the home and projects calm and color exquisitely.

It was a simple basic repaint of a large bedroom without any bells and whistles but surprisingly they exceeded my expectations. The main room looked amazing but what got me was the attention to detail in the areas that aren't as noticeable. I've done major renovations in the past for another property and big spaces are expected to be done great but sometimes the less noticeable spaces are not done to the same level. With this project, Martin and his crew gave the same level of attention to the interior closets that they did for the main walls and ceilings. I look forward to working with them again in the future.
