Karen, Joe and the gang have been my framers for about the last ten years. They have conserved…read morevarious types of art and objects for me, ranging in size from small to gigantic (e.g. French Grande poster size -- approx. 4 feet by 5 feet), including lithographs, paintings, posters, drawings, and prints, as well as vinyl records and even guitar picks, in custom framed displays that always DAZZLE. They take the time to work with you and help you pick out all the materials that make each project unique and eye-popping. Highly recommended!

I brought in a one-of-one original artwork on paper, purchased for nearly $2,000, to discuss custom…read moreframing. This was a unique piece, not a print or anything replaceable. While I was there, the artwork was handled in a way that felt rushed and careless -- materials were placed directly onto the surface, and frame corners were pressed up against it without protection. Shortly after, I noticed that one corner of the artwork was creased. The piece is thin paper/card stock, and a crease like this is permanent. I had not authorized any framing work and had not paid anything. I immediately removed the artwork to prevent further handling. When I followed up with the owner the next day, I was told that the damage must have already been present when I brought the piece in. I do not agree with that statement. I have clear photos showing the condition of the artwork before the visit and after, and the crease was not present beforehand. Instead of discussing how the damage occurred or how to resolve it, the conversation repeatedly shifted to how long the shop has been in business and how many awards it has received. That did not address the condition of my artwork or the concern I raised. The interaction felt dismissive and confrontational rather than professional. I'm sharing this experience so others bringing in high-value, original artwork can make an informed decision. I chose not to move forward with this shop.

This store may have cute items, but its SOO overly stocked that you can hardly look around, let…read morealone move. I'm not a big person by any means and could hardly make my way through without knocking something over or bumping things. Ever watch hoarders? Ya, it's basically that, just with catalog items. Nothing seems to have a rhyme or reason for where it is, just scattered wherever they could squeeze something in. We couldn't even figure out where the register or employee were the first few minutes. Needles to say we will not be back and will not be recommending this store unless we want someone to have an anxiety attack.

This Archiver's is a nice location.

A nice selection of scrapbooking products and a decent sized sale section to boot! Things at this location are arranged around the store in a slightly odd (to me) manner, but things can be found. My one problem is that the employees often seem to be more interested on chatting or stocking things to notice that there are multiple customers needing assistance/ringing up at the registers. A few "excuse me"s toward them has shown to be less than effective at times. However, while they may not be particularly attentive, they are polite and friendly. While I'd still prefer shopping at a locally owned scrapbook store, I nearly always pop into this Archiver's on drives through Appleton.

How i wish this store was in Milwaukee. I love to go there and see all the items they carry and…read morethe projects they make. As a bonus, they offer free classes but are too far away for me to attend. (2 hour drive so only stop there when travel on business.) Staff is usual helpful. Prices on par with other craft stores but their selection is above average. If you are ever in the area, stop in.

I'm a comic artist and I know how important drawing the human figure is in my trade. I go to…read moreweekly figure drawing at Mud & Prints and it's been ground-breaking for my art! Linda goes above and beyond at getting a variety of different models. Some sessions are clothed and some are nude. She even goes as far as setting up backgrounds that fit with the themes of the costumes and poses. We usually start with some short poses and build up to longer poses. The lighting on the figures is great too. From drawing to painting, you can use any medium that you desire. It's not required to show up every week, incase something in life comes up, and you pay per session you attend. You get a stamp card and Linda throws a free session after you attended so many. Linda is open to comments and feedback with the sessions and makes changes based on the artists' needs in the studio. It's also a very casual environment to meet the other artists in this area too. ‍ I'm learning a lot and my art is really growing each week I attend. Drawing from life is very crucial for artistic growth and this is one of the few places in the valley that offers life drawing models at a very reasonable price.

She was helpful in bringing in other styles just in case. She was good at making sure we had enough time to think and discuss, but not overwhelm us. The reason I didn't give a 5 star review is a bit silly, but being that this was my first time (and hopefully last) buying a wedding dress I kinda really wanted the "I said yes to the dress" picture and that was never offered... despite seeing a sign in the dressing room that indicated they offer that. Kind of made me feel like I bought a dress from a place that doesn't care. I bought the dress but am unsure if I would recommend Erika's Bridal Couture to anyone that wants the full experience.
