I'm sure Camie will enjoy the decorative plate we painted with all our hand prints! Katie - the owner was so amazing! She set up a table full of fantastic ceramic pieces that we could pick from to paint. She had so many helpful hints, and was so great to help us with all our artistic wishes. She was insanely patient. Thank you again Katie for a lovely painting party! It was such a blast! I highly recommend painted rocks for any fun gathering of friends. Arts and crafts are fun for everyone ;-)

My friends and I stopped here for a friend's bachelorette weekend, to make mosaics. We were a few…read moreminutes late running to this place as we were figuring out parking after rushing back from lunch (that's on us). Staff here was super accommodating and very friendly, was great to chat with too! Everything here is very neatly organized and quite a lot of choices for mosaic pieces. We used paint as the base for our pieces (had super cute water bowls for paint brushes we used), I think paint drying took the longest. It was a little funny we all basically hounded over our pieces to dry a bit before we put tile pieces on it. Little mirror pieces, pretty stones and such were plentiful to use. Elmer's glue was used to secure the pieces and surprisingly holding great. Each piece had a price on them when we were choosing them off the wall. Prices weren't unreasonable, on top of studio space and materials that we were using. It was a fun activity as we love our arts n crafts. I think one of my friend's made the appointment/time slot online, everything was smooth sails and we basically stayed till closing time. Final Thoughts: Thank-you for a fun experience and we'd so recommend this place for others visiting here looking for activities that aren't outdoors!

Lots of fun!! Super cute local business!! Great activity for…read moreany time of year, when the weather isn't good, or you just want to do something a little silly and creative. Not just a kids place!! Lots of fun for adults too. You can grab a glass of wine a couple doors down and then have fun painting a personal creation. I made a coffee mug to give as a gift. I thought it would turn out a hysterical mess but it actually turned out better than expected ( still made for a lot of laughs). Perfect way to spend an hour doing something fun. Great spot to know about if you've got kids you are looking to entertain, or need a creative date idea, or want to host a little pottery painting party with friends. Go have a little fun making something! Prices are really reasonable ( painting a large coffee mug was about $30).... They have a lot of options to choose from too! Cups, plates, bowls, animal figures.....

My super-fun SIL and I love to get crafty together, so by sheer luck (or fate, if you will) I happened upon a Super Sunday promo and booked us both for a belated Galentine's night out! First, let me say that boss lady Sydney is absolutely the life of the party! She graciously accommodated a customization request for SIL and both our projects came out great! The workshops are quick, unique, and extra fun thanks to sassy Sydney! If you've been there, done that to the canvas paint & sip places, switch it up and come get hammered at Hammer & Stain!

I was terrified the whole time that my piece would turn out awful! But the staff walks you through it and makes sure that you're doing everything correctly. I liked seeing how differently everyone's piece turned out. Thats what set it apart from other activities like a paint and sip. You're able to personalize it, so no one walks out with the same picture. You also can use power tools! What's more fun than that!? The staff was so friendly even when our group got a little rowdy. They helped me figure out color schemes and even brought out the glitter! Definitely want to go again.

Pros: Very cute shop and inventory targeted mainly to women.

The prices are average. Cons: Young salesgirl who will not take her eyes off the cell phone for a split second. I was there on a winter Sunday morning business was very slow. I was the only customer for a while. Just me and her. She did not even greet me nor offer any help. Awkard silence. While I was browsing, two other women walked into the store and same MO from salesgirl. Not the minimum effort to engage with potential customers. The shop is very cute and offers interesting stuff but the customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

3.5 - A solid spot, but has potential to be so much more!…read more This has taken up as the only toy store toy on the main street of Truckee. Do expect quite a lot of kids roaming around perusing legos, sunglasses, coloring books, puzzles, game, stuffies and more. No sales or discounts here, these are all straight retail and for such a small store, they do have quite the inventory. No rhyme or reason on layout and definitely the old-school aesthetic of a variety store, that some may call tired. It's a little bit in between. Staff isn't the friendliest, they are mainly high schoolers, seemingly. They do have some old candy? But how great would it be if they updated and had a "penny candy" section where kids could fill bags with candy? I'm imagining this spot has been around for a long time and has it cornered for toys and odds and ends in town. It has a lot of potential, but a solid spot for when the grandparents come to town and want to buy the kiddos something.

You are able to make reservations so that's good to know for the future ! We didn't really get a rundown about how the process worked when we arrived but there were signs and directions on the table that we followed. You pick out the piece you want and once finished, you pay for everything at the end! It looks like each piece takes about a week to process. You're told they will not contact you when your piece is ready unless there is something wrong. You are able to go in and pick it up whenever that day Pick up was very easy.
