    Let me start off my saying that I am a huge Michaels supporter, I've loved the brand since I was a…read morechild. Now at 31, my husband and I love to go in at least monthly. This location unfortunately is doing no service to its reputation, specifically the store managers lack of customer service. I had a simple return that I wanted to make and was told it was final sale and could not be completed. I challenged her on that detail and found that in fact, it was not final sale!!! Seemed I just caught her in a bad mood. From the looks of other reviews this service from the manager seems to be a common occurrence. That being said I was able to call Michaels corporate number, and I was offered a refund within five minutes of explaining my situation. All to say, this unfortunately put a bad taste in our mouth for this situation. I highly encourage the owners of this branch to look into their customer service problem.

    It's been a while since I have been here. I saw something I needed for a gift project at a high end…read morestore I use regularly but I wanted an alternative in style and price. Michael's has a lot of items in this category but almost none with the dimensions I needed for the photo needing framing. After looking at aisle after aisle on my own, none of it being real wood and little being glass, I found a pleasant staff member who also looked . We only found plastic, in the size range required. Yes a low price but inadequate for the destination so we left and went back to the higher end store right away as they only had 2 left in stock. Quality is definitely related to price in this case and we did the right thing. The store was fairly empty of customers as well as staff as usual. There were areas that used to be heavily stocked but seemed low now. Maybe import troubles starting to be apparent already.

    Horrible customer service experience tonight with Lisa and the manager on duty. The only positive…read moreemployee was Emerson, who genuinely tried to help but was told by Lisa and the manager not to assist us. It's sad to think of other customers having to go through this kind of treatment. I came in around 8pm and at 8:30pm asked to have fabric cut--30 minutes before closing. I was told they could only cut three fabrics due to it being so close to closing time. We had wanted 6 fabrics cut but decided not to push the issue. Lisa cut two, then stopped early to begin closing down the store. At 8:53pm--still before closing--she refused to cut the last fabric, claiming it would take "5 to 10 minutes" to cut one piece of 3-yard fabric. That excuse is absurd. Measuring and cutting fabric is basic service, and there was still time left before the store officially closed. When Emerson stepped up to help, she was directly told by Lisa and the manager not to serve us. This was after we had already spent about $150 on fabric and other items. Refusing service to paying customers who are well within store hours is unacceptable. I understand not wanting to keep staff past closing, but when a customer is in the store before closing time, they should receive service until that time--not be dismissed early. Tonight's interaction was dismissive, unprofessional, and damaging to Michael's reputation for customer service. I will be escalating this to Michael's corporate management, because I believe the company would not condone the way this store treated its customers.

    There was an amazing selection of clays I was looking for. The staff was helpful and friendly which…read moremade my time easier here. I saved a ton on this trip shoutout to the coupons available!

    Very disappointing experience. There is an old adage: Just because someone knows how to do…read moresomething doesn't mean that he knows how to teach that skill to others. BSOFA is a prime example. A teacher, who, though pleasant, has no ability to teach. I took a beginner's class. (Though except for myself, there were no other beginners in the class. They clearly all had some level of experience.) The teacher would do a twenty-second demonstration (no exaggeration) of something, then expect everyone to immediately know how to do that thing perfectly. It was beyond frustrating. First class, I could tell that I wasn't executing the skill correctly. It was exceedingly obvious that my canvas looked nothing like the other, experienced students' canvases. But though the instructor walked around the table looking at the canvases, for multiple hours, he never said a word about mine. Never proactively provided any constructive criticism. He just let me flounder around for hours without any guidance. (He did interact more with the students who were doing better. There were about eight of us total.) Next class, I decided to make him provide some feedback. (Unsuccessfully, as it turned out.) I would stop him as he walked by, ask him to look at my canvas, and ask for feedback. He was non-committal. (Pleasant, but not helpful.) I would then point out something on the canvas, and say, this isn't right, is it? And he would sort of agree. But he never offered to show me how to do the skill correctly, or provide anything but a vague comment. During that class, I must have stopped him a half-dozen times, if not more, to ask for feedback, but received essentially none. By the third class, I had mostly given up. I listened, trying to glean as much as possible from the twenty-second demonstrations, but unfortunately accepted the reality that the teacher had no ability to actually teach. Again, the teacher was pleasant. But he was also a passive, low-energy person who clearly had zero ability to teach a skill to students. And, oddly, the less experienced the student, the more uncomfortable and non-interactive he became. In a beginner's class. BSOFA makes no sense. Do they not understand? People take classes because they want to learn. They pay good money to attend classes because they want to learn. Allowing a beginner to flounder, with minimal guidance, in a beginner's class is not only unacceptable, but actually a little cruel. BSOFA takes a positive, eager, happy-to-be-there student, and turns her into someone who never wants to experience any of it ever again.

Keep in mind that you will be moving fast. You will do in 4 sessions what would take years in a classical art school. As with everything, to be successful you must commit, practice outside of class even. (If you want to be a good skier you need to practice outside your ski class too). The school gives first class instruction. I am totally addicted to this place. Bravo BFA team! You bring Florence to Boulder.
