Every single time I try to be crafty or artistic, I regret it. Artsy-Craftsy is just not in my wheelhouse. But I wanted the Glazed and Confused experience. Dana, the shop owner, encouraged me and helped me. You could tell that she really loves her little shop and the folks that come to create there. I chose the simplest of her Christmas ornament selection and then the colors and painted away, all the while thinking "this is going to be ridiculous when it's done". I had an absolute blast sitting there painting under the palm trees but didn't really expect much. Since it was my last full day on Tybee

This was such a fun family craft on this dreary rainy day. The store owner, Dana, is a true gem. You can tell she loves her store and her customers (even if she's just met them). It wasn't a surprise to see she has all 5 star reviews so I thought I'd add another. Thank you Dana for a lovely experience.

We absolutely love Dana and her shop! My son and I have been in every other weekend for close to a year now and there's always something new to paint. Glazed and Confused is the best part of our weekends

My family enjoyed our trips to Glazed and Confused. We enjoyed choosing a project and painting it to fit our personalities. Projects take a few days to get returned but shipping is available. We will definitely return on another trip to Tybee.

We have visited Tybee twice - and visited Glazed Twice! We had the best experience at this little shop!! My boys are 5, 12, and 14 and each one of them LOVED choosing a piece and painting it - and all three begged to go back when we returned to the island a few months later!! Such a fun family activity. The owner was amazing!! She was so good with my boys - with all of us! Helping everyone make choices, guiding us when we asked on colors and techniques. And we all display our projects quite proudly. What a wonderful memory of our time on the island!!
