Then when you're done, Aimee will take care of the rest! Aimee, the owner, is a delight! She was very patient in teaching first-timers and gave some great tips. She keeps a quaint and orderly shop, which is kid-friendly and even pet-friendly. Plus, 20% off for college students (and grad students too, for that matter)! You can pick up your finished piece in about a week so keep that in mind if you are on a time crunch for a gift.

I reached out to the studio and they told me my item was there... not sure what or how they were planning to get in contact with me. At the visit I left my name, my number, a description of my item and noted I painted my initials on the bottom of the item - wrote all of this down on the little scrap paper they gave me to write my info. I'm guessing they lost it.... I go to try and pick up my item today, sign says closed 7/18... it's 7/17, no mention on the phone when I called yesterday or on their social media page(s) that they would be closed due. Frustrating to say the least. Items available to paint upon arriving for the visit were sparse so overall, all of these things combined, it was not worth the hassle.

Is a bit pricey, wish it were just a bit cheaper, so I could justify going more often, but they do have special events where they discount the studio fee- like a BYOB ladies night once a month, for example. My daughter and I made a mug and bowl for fathers day, and cost us about $60. Ouch! ( loss of one star for the price factor.) Wet back to pick up a week later, hers was ready, mine was not. (I won't drop a star, since we went on a stormy day, and everyone was making fathers day gifts! So I'm sure it was that they were overloaded with items that weekend!) I would recommend, and would like to go with friends on ladies night sometime soon :-)

Metrowest and Central Mass has SO much to offer (artists, intellectuals, organic farming) and Worcester Wares apparently has a pipeline from allllll of these magical people right into their wee storefront! They're located within the DCU Center (easy to find) and light floods this packed shop....let me list the ways it makes my heart sing: * Screen printed Worcester shirts and totes (both classics and hilarious) (Paris of the 80's & Out of the Night Tees, I love you) * Jewelry and pins of the Massachusetts and Worcester variety (I definitely picked up a Worcester pin) * Worcester Bravehearts wares (baseball?! YES!) * Artsy prints,calendars, and mugs (Mugged In Worcester!! Hank VonHellion!! Sarah Wormann!!) * The shop owner (Jessica) is SO nice! Just the kind of awesomely funky lady to inspire your pride for all things local to the Woo You'll pay a fair price for local gems, but know that you're supporting so many local artists when you do! And THAT's the gift that keeps on giving. The hours are a bit funky (aim for Wednesday or Thursday if you need to shop post 5-o'clock bells), but compared with other local artsy stores they're pretty similar (and worth it). CHEERS, Worcester Wares!

I really wanted to enjoy my experience with Worcester Wares, but unfortunately things took a bad…read moreturn before my order was completed. I went to Worcester Wares to order some custom shirts for my small business. I paid the full price up front (mistake on my part) and patiently waited for the project to progress. I promptly sent in all of the graphics needed to make the various shirts I had ordered. Months into the project I was informed the the owner was dealing with some personal matters, which I was understanding and patient about. She did deliver some of the products I had ordered, and indicated that she was working on the remaining products. Some of the shirts had a defect, which she said she would rectify. The hoodies that I ordered were supposed to feature a large logo on they back, which the ones she delivered did not. After that visit, it was radio silence. I sent several emails and messages inquiring about timeframe for delivering the remaining items, but did not get any response from her, or from anyone at Worcester Wares. I began this process in early December 2025, and paid for my items in full at our initial meeting. It is now May the following year, and I have not hard anything from the owner since February when she dropped off a few of the items I had ordered, despite several emails and phone calls. Unfortunately I would not recommend Worcester Wares to another business. I am now out several hundred dollars and have only a small handful of the shirts that I ordered, some of which were not made as ordered. Very disappointing.

I wish I could say otherwise because I'd really like to support this place & the local artists represented. While shopping, another guest asked the cashier about if any weaving classes were available in the near future but the only response was a grunted "no." Seems like a friendlier response was warranted so I stopped the shopper on her way out to tell her & her daughter about "A Place to Weave" in Fitchburg, MA. My point is, isn't the Worcester Center for Crafts mission to support the craft community? It isn't hard to do and a friendly word goes a long way.

Glassblowing was very interesting but too hard for me. I'm really glad I took it for the experience and I would probably do it over again just to try it out. It requires a lot of coordination, so if you are as klutzy as me, you might find it too difficult too. As described in their catalog, flamework is: Tthe process of shaping glass rods and tubes into small objects over the flame of a torch. Begin by making beads, pendants and marbles to establish a foundation of technique. As the class progresses, projects will advance to include the creation of solid sculpture and hollow forms such as flowers, holiday ornaments, and perfume bottles. Small class sizes and one-on-one instruction allow students to work at their own pace. I love this class and the instructor, Jake Vincent, is patient and a great teacher. You don't have to be quite as coordinated to do flamework. In addition to glass classes, they have classes in clay, metal, fiber, photography, wood, and design and multimedia. They have a gallery too. I haven't been yet, because the glass studio is in a separate area of Worcester. I've heard its great and intend to go soon. I'll update this post when I get there. Oh, and it isn't as far from Boston as you think. Check out their catalog on their Website.
