I have been putting off writing this review for some time... trying to give this business a second,…read morethird, and even fourth chance. Unfortunately, all these chances aren't making any difference. I honestly try to put myself in others' shoes and am often described as being very empathetic. Also, I generally try to support our small community here in Sonora by shopping locally and getting to know the small business owners. Most of them are very nice people and I love to frequent their shops because of it. The first owner, Gina, was quite pleasant, very welcoming, and tried to be helpful where she was knowledgeable. She recently sold the business to Beth Smith and I have had nothing but bad experiences with her. She is not helpful and not very welcoming. She is also incredibly unprofessional -- talking bad about other local businesses and not returning telephone calls. I am an avid crafter and will often spend a lot of money on my crafting supplies. However, I will not be giving Beth anymore of my money.

I like that each persons picture turns out different yet the same. Thank you Kim.

Kym is the best!…read more She's full of love, positivity, and overflowing with creativity. I encountered Kym's Fun Fine Art booth at the Bigfoot Festival in Twain Harte this weekend. Her enthusiasm for tye dye, art, hula-hooping and people is evident and also contagious. Her booth was fantastic. It allowed for hands-on collaborative art (tye-dye and drip art) and it was set-up perfectly so that both kids and adults could do crafts with no mess (she had everything covered - literally and figuratively). Kym's masterful tye dye creations can be found not only at her booth at the regular Thursday Twain Harte Farmers' Market - but they can also be found at a number of stores in Jamestown. Kym is an excellent teacher and if you have an event that you're looking to enhance with some live art making - I highly suggest you reach out to her. Her booth was always full of genuine smiles and excitement throughout the festival and it was so fun to see people so engaged with art throughout this past weekend's festivities. You can learn more about her art and where you can both her and her colorful tye-dye here - https://www.facebook.com/FunFineArtist/ Trust.

That said, the customer service has been consistently disappointing. Every time I've visited, the staff has come across as cold and unwelcoming.

Pattie has many samples to help make decisions and a lot of expertise and experience that helps you make a decision. Pattie also has a great attention to detail and double checks to make sure everything is just the way you want it. We had a great experience.
