I went to Worcester Wares to order some custom shirts for my small business. I paid the full price up front (mistake on my part) and patiently waited for the project to progress. I promptly sent in all of the graphics needed to make the various shirts I had ordered. Months into the project I was informed the the owner was dealing with some personal matters, which I was understanding and patient about. She did deliver some of the products I had ordered, and indicated that she was working on the remaining products. Some of the shirts had a defect, which she said she would rectify. The hoodies that I ordered were supposed to feature a large logo on they back, which the ones she delivered did not. After that visit, it was radio silence. I sent several emails and messages inquiring about timeframe for delivering the remaining items, but did not get any response from her, or from anyone at Worcester Wares. I began this process in early December 2025, and paid for my items in full at our initial meeting. It is now May the following year, and I have not hard anything from the owner since February when she dropped off a few of the items I had ordered, despite several emails and phone calls. Unfortunately I would not recommend Worcester Wares to another business. I am now out several hundred dollars and have only a small handful of the shirts that I ordered, some of which were not made as ordered. Very disappointing.

The merch is cool, but the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. We attempted to get some…read morecustom shirts made and it never happened. Each time we were given a date for review of the artwork, or to see a mock-up, we NEVER heard from her. Texts, calls and emails went unanswered for weeks and weeks. We went back to the store several times and were only given excuses. This was a special project that we were excited about and it never happened. Interestingly, she told us that "small businesses value every nickel" spent, and then, nothing!

The place was way to bright and well lit and poorly decorated for an occult shop and even though they had a couple of adorable kitties, the smell of the kitty litter from wherever it was kept (it's wasn't the room that was the shop). Was overpowering, even with all the incense and candles about. But again, the owner/manager is very nice. Also, their website seems to be better stocked and reasonably priced (I only glanced at it.)

It's a very nice place to browse at your leisure.

Natalie's Piece of Heaven is one of those fun little places, stuffed to the brim with anything you can think of. Something for everyone and definitely the vintage fashionistas roulette - you just know what number lady luck will hand you on a cold and snowy day! Natalie is a gem of person, so much representing the welcoming and friendly vibe Hudson is known for. There are tucked away antique stores to send you on a fun scavenger hunt. Knotty Pine is another (other than one of the owners with this GORGEOUSLY STUNNING FLOW OF PLATINUM HAIR has one of the most acrid personalities I've come across in a long time. I don't know who kicked her cat, but her unpleasantries are forgiven because she keeps a very clean, interesting, approachable business going!) Hudson gem. While Natalie's is a bit smaller space, it doesn't lack for treasure troves of generous piles of vintage and fun jewelry and a stunning case showcasing unique local native indigenous woman's crafts - hair pins, necklaces, etc. all made locally and blessed with what we call "Wampanoag" (but that isn't their true tribal name) spirit. Come say HI to Natalie, and enjoy! Bring kids - vintage toys for them to choose from (just please keep an eye on them, the place is full of delicate glass and moving around is a bit tight). I'm so glad I found this place! I should have started this post as an epic essay: "it was a cold and peltering afternoon. The winds howled as I carefully took my life into my hands on the 20 long steps to Natalie's door..." (YEA, PLENTY OF PARKING close to the entrance! Entrance in the front if you're taking a stroll and go past the brewery on the rail trail or in the back- parking, next to the auto shop across from the gas station, at the light). "OH the challenges of the brave scavenger hunter!" (Ok, I agree, leave the prose to others. I shall stick to my normal hobbies of eating, cooking and eating. Wash-rinse-repeat...)

I wish I could say otherwise because I'd really like to support this place & the local artists represented. While shopping, another guest asked the cashier about if any weaving classes were available in the near future but the only response was a grunted "no." Seems like a friendlier response was warranted so I stopped the shopper on her way out to tell her & her daughter about "A Place to Weave" in Fitchburg, MA. My point is, isn't the Worcester Center for Crafts mission to support the craft community? It isn't hard to do and a friendly word goes a long way.

Glassblowing was very interesting but too hard for me. I'm really glad I took it for the experience and I would probably do it over again just to try it out. It requires a lot of coordination, so if you are as klutzy as me, you might find it too difficult too. As described in their catalog, flamework is: Tthe process of shaping glass rods and tubes into small objects over the flame of a torch. Begin by making beads, pendants and marbles to establish a foundation of technique. As the class progresses, projects will advance to include the creation of solid sculpture and hollow forms such as flowers, holiday ornaments, and perfume bottles. Small class sizes and one-on-one instruction allow students to work at their own pace. I love this class and the instructor, Jake Vincent, is patient and a great teacher. You don't have to be quite as coordinated to do flamework. In addition to glass classes, they have classes in clay, metal, fiber, photography, wood, and design and multimedia. They have a gallery too. I haven't been yet, because the glass studio is in a separate area of Worcester. I've heard its great and intend to go soon. I'll update this post when I get there. Oh, and it isn't as far from Boston as you think. Check out their catalog on their Website.
