I made a vase. My wife made a bowl & lid. I accidentally broke a part of my vase off at the top while making it. But Cait gave me a great idea. Why not put roses at that spot? She showed me how to make them. I would have never thought that I could make something like this. 2 weeks later we went back to paint our pieces (a few doors down at a different studio). Even after a few coats, the paint looked dull. Then we went back at a later time to pick our pieces up. WOW!! You can see in the included photos. The firing brings the colors out so vibrant. It was worth every penny for this wonderful experience with such a wonderful staff. Thank you. We look forward to our next visit.

The owner was there and she was incredibly sweet! We initially stumbled upon this shop as we were eating at a nearby restaurant and needed to use the restroom and we were pointed here. This is a hybrid of a thrift store and an art gallery and so much more. My sister purchased a $15 grab bag which was full of all kinds of things, ranging from treasures to total junk. It was so fun to go through the bag and see what it held. I purchased a custom sign that reminded me of my cats back home. I can't wait to display my purchase once we get home!

The staff is great, there are a lot of different ceramics to choose from (I went for this lovely vintage-style bird, but if you have a thing for an octopus wearing a baseball cap, then this is your place, too!) and tons of glaze colors. We were happy to hear that it's only going to take a few days for them to be fired and returned to us, so we'll have our masterpieces by the weekend. Hurrah!

I like their variety of items and if you wait for sales to get vouchers it's an excellent place for decor and projects. I was disappointed that the last time I picked up an item I kept getting messaged for 3 days saying I hadn't picked it up yet. I hope that glitch gets fixed. The items were perfect and very much enjoyed though!

There's lots of the thick chenille-like Baby Blanket Yarn and yarn cakes , but not much to make some pretty baby jackets or Christening sets. I want some nice Bernat yarn or some of the Lion Brand varieties that were carried by JoAnn's and AC Moore. For my needs, Michaels is just not the place to go for a variety of brands of yarn. Also, they need to do a better job of conveying that ALL clearance items are not returnable. I didn't see anything posted, and the receipt doesn't say non-returnable. The sales associate did not know where the policy was posted. Even the "manager" had to look it up, which involved crouching down in front of the counter and reading the entire return policy before she could find that it addressed clearance items. The last line of the policy stated that clearance items were not returnable. The print was about 1/8 inch high. It's unrealistic to think that anyone would be able to read the policy as it is currently posted. The "manager" absurdly stated that I could look at the bottom of the receipt or on their website. Hmm, doesn't that happen after purchase? The signs over the merchandise say "Clearance - lowest prices of the season" but they do not state that the merchandise is not returnable. Maybe they will do a better job of posting the policy so that customers know they can't return clearance items. Surprisingly, the "manager" was willing to let a 40-year customer walk away from all future purchases for less than $20. I did call customer service and they issued me a gift card, but it still doesn't resolve the issue for the next customer. This is the first negative review I have EVER posted. It's never right to turn your back and walk away from a customer.
