You can decorate a variety of things from phone cases, jewelry boxes to photo frames and mirrors with different silicone whipped cream and cute charms. Reservations are recommended, they get busy with birthday groups and parties on the weekend. The whole experience takes a bit over 2 hoirs depending on what you decorate and prices start from $30+. Lots of charms to choose from and you can bring your own. The staff wad helpful in every step to help teach you how to use the piping bags to decoration ideas. One downside was we were not sure how staff kept track of the cost of our charms after we placed them in our basket. The charm prices are based on size and start from 50 cents to above $5, there are some free items as well. They also offer other art diy activities.

My friend and I booked through an Instagram direct message and went during their "buy one, get one free" promotion for the fluid bear. The bears come in many sizes, and prices increase accordingly (keychain $22, 7" $58, 9" $68, 13" $108, 21" $168, 1 mini bear and canvas $38, and 2 mini bears and canvas $48). On the website, it also lists how long each project is expected to take. They also have pom-pom canvases and bags. The pom-pom canvases are: 8 x 8" $58, 12 x 12" $68, 18" x 18" $88, 18" x 23" $108, 23" x 23" $168, and 40" x 40" $328. The pom-pom bags are: A4 $88, A3 $108, and B5 $68. When we arrived and checked in for our reservation, an employee showed us the different-sized bears, and there were even some that were sitting or leaning back in addition to the standing ones. He gave us some time to decide, and then we also chose paint colours. We weren't sure what colours we wanted, so he showed us photos of previous customers' projects. We were set up at a table with aprons, our chosen paint colours, our bear on a tray, and even given a hair tie if we didn't have one with us to keep our hair out of the way. The employee showed us how to pour and mix our different paint colours and then pour them on our bears. The first pour was definitely the best one for me. The colours and patterns were astounding. Sometimes the paint doesn't completely cover the bear as it drips down, so they provide a plastic spoon to fill in those spots. The last thing before paying was deciding whether or not we wanted the bears to have a matte or gloss finish. Also, there's no tax if you pay in cash. We were informed that our bears would be ready for pickup in two to three days, and I did get a text informing me that our bears were ready within two days. I wasn't sure how to transport my finished bear home. It turns out that they put them in a case for you.   Overall, my friend and I really enjoyed our fluid bear experience. instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whitebear_trt/ website: https://www.whitebeardiy.com/

I took my gf here for a pottery wheel-throwing class for her bday back in March…read more The studio is pretty cozy. It's situated in a corner unit in a random plaza at Warden and Denison. Each wheel class can fit up to 6 ppl (as there are 6 pottery wheels). The class that we partook in was full and we had some great banter w/ the other participants and the teacher during the session. James was our teacher and he's an absolute beast (also, the nicest, friendliest dude)! He gave us a demonstration first in slow motion on how to apply pressure to the clay and proper hand placement. It's A LOT HARDER than it looks lol. Once he finished demoing, he guided each of us through a piece that we wanted to make. I opted for things that were relatively simple as I found it hard enough to maintain equal thickness in the clay on all sides. We learned that James is 5th generation from a family of master potters. No wonder he's so good and made it look easy! My gf and I made 4 pieces total and I paid an additional $40 to keep the other 2 (as the initial prices for both of us only included 1 piece each for painting and baking). Two hours flew by so fast. About two weeks after the session, I received an email notifying me to book a time slot for painting our pieces. Painting occurs in a different room from the pottery wheel room. More spacious and you can go up and get your own paint. After painting them we waited another 2-3 weeks before receiving a final email that the pieces were ready for pickup. We were quite happy with how the pieces turned out. I love the glossy dark blue finish on my sake jar! Ultimately, even if you're not good at arts and crafts, this is a really fun activity! My gf had a lot of fun. Would highly recommend anyone try it at least once!

I especially enjoy Florence's 10 cards in 3 hours class. *Hint: come 15 mins prior to class, do the glueing at home & only finish the essentials in class or you will never leave! Also 15% off on all items you purchase the day you take a class. The store also make gift baskets for all occasions & custom wedding invitations. Pointer also has a reward card program. Everytime you purchase an item you will be able to accumulate & earn $25 reward in products. I joined their VIP Club as I purchased much of my card making items from them. The annual fee is $25. So what do you get?... - 10% off all purchases - 20 % off one entire purchase during birthday month - two friday night crops free - take 3 classes and get one free - special coupon every month (sometimes there are 40% off coupons) - VIP member specials on special events. My fav product from the store would prob. be the Zip Dry Paper Glue. Perfect for paper crafts as the glue will not cause your paper to wrinkle. Stock up if you are an avid scrap/card maker. Lots of parking at the back.

Stop me from coming here. Seriously. I cannot spend more money on craft stuff I don't use!!!…read more Pointers is a scrap booking and paper crafts store and more. They have a lot of variety and choice on papers, stamps, everything. It's a little hard to find when you're not actively looking for it, but it's in a pocket plaza on the side. Working at Michaels, I do quite a few comparisons while shopping at both. - Michaels is a lot more expensive when not using a coupon, while Pointers offers good and affordable deals. There's also a clearance/sales section that is super cool. - Michaels only offers the big name brands and their own line of products. I find that Pointers has a lot more variety in stamps and everything related to scrapbooking - While Michaels is not super modern, I do find that Pointers offers more traditional and "classic" products. Not knocking it down, but I do not like ugly illustrations with curly type that says "you're brighter than a star" on my stamps (I made that one up, but I'm pretty sure I can find something similar to that) I did a lot of comparisons, but I think it is a good way to illustrate that Pointers is an amazing place. I frequently recommend customers here when they can't find what they're looking for at our store. Service is very nice and I notice that they have a lot of classes and loyal customers. Definitely recommended for all your scrapbooking needs.

Especially when it comes to something that can be pricey like jewellry. I didn't catch the name of the guy who served us at this store. But I wouldn't necessarily believe everything he said. Some of what he said I know to be true from experience. But other things I must wait to verify, since I'm no expert on semi-precious crystals & gems. That being said, I went in here with my parents since they were looking for a pendant or bracelet for my dad. They wanted black tourmaline, since they liked the look of a necklace I had. Long story short, they haggled on the price of a bracelet & got a good one from the vendor. There was a lot of nice jewellry in this store. But a lot of it seemed over priced. I will have to call up some gem expert friends to verify if those prices were legit or not.

_ Do not buy from this merchant unless you live locally!!…read more Visited the store in late August this year and spent 200 dollars on a bracelet made of gemstones as a present for my wife's birthday. The bracelet was seemingly well made and was quite beautiful; we were initially happy with our purchase. Three days after we returned to our home in Michigan, the bracelet started coming apart, dropping gemstones. Six fell off and went missing before we noticed. We put the bracelet into a Ziplock bag to prevent the loss of any more stones, and promptly called Crystal Village. The staff was courteous but ultimately unwilling to help. The only option they gave us was to bring the bracelet back so that they could fix it. Being that we live in Michigan, nearly five hours from Toronto, this was not an option for us. I suggested that I send the bracelet back to them via registered mail or FedEx, to which the staff replied "It could get stolen" and "We will probably have to pay taxes on it". (Neither are true --- packages with tracking numbers do not "go missing", nor does one have to pay taxes/tariffs on items that are not shipped as "just sold" merchandise.) The staff of the store were insistent, and made excuses for every suggestion of mine. Their final solution --- bring it back to their store for repair. I mentioned that I did not know if or when I would be visiting Toronto again. The store staff had no sympathy for my situation or the fact that they had, in effect, taken my 200 dollars for what now amounts to a pile of gemstones. Their merchandise is defective and they were not willing to work with their customer to remedy this. Buyers, BEWARE.
