We came to a party at Glazed and Confused on a Thursday evening. We were given some quick…read moreinstructions and the kids were able to pick an alternative item if they didn't want to paint an ice cream cone. The host was pretty hands off after that they weren't actively helping get colors for the kids who were all really young. There were only two people painting other than the party at the time. They also didn't tell the parents throwing the party that it would be over two weeks to get the items back until the day of the party and that one person would need to pick them all up. The kids had a fun experience but it definitely could have gone more smoothly and been more organized.

When asking for more, I felt like I was an inconvenience. No water for paint brushes out, had to ask for that. Asked for painter's tape, they didn't have any. What kind of art store doesn't have any art supplies? Good luck staying in business.

Mack made sure we were dedicated, focused and happy with our outcome. This was really fun and location was easy to find .

I was pleased to be able to leave the project there, partially finished, rather than rush through the project during the workshop. When going back to complete a workshop project, you do not have to pay a studio fee since that was worked into the initial price. I was able to go and finish gluing my project, using as much of the tiles/stained glass/porcelain as I wanted. I then took home my project as well as grout and a small kit containing a cloth, cuts of newspaper, and a few others things to grout at home, although I could have returned to the studio a third time to do that there if I wanted. Many members of my family go as well and have all expressed the same gratitude for the opportunity to create something new in a comfortable place at our own pace. Project prices (walk-in or workshop) aren't cheap but neither are the materials they provide. Everything I've made there has held up well and they rotate available projects. If you're unsure about project costs or studio fees, ask them before you start. They can recommend projects within your budget and explain the studio fee. They're not out to price gouge, running an art studio with quality materials and trained staff isn't cheap. I typically spend $70 per mosaic project/workshop, if you're looking for a rough estimate. They also sell cute kits for small mosaic projects to do at home, which make a great gift. I highly recommend checking out Yucandu. (thanks Yucandu team!)
