We had a blast! Friendly, helpful staff and a clean, chill environment. Our mugs turned out amazing and it was really quick turn around. We will definitely stop again for more art projects.

So much fun and we ended up with beautiful work to take home and enjoy. It was fun for a date that wasn't just another dinner and movie. The owner was very friendly and helpful learning how to do the glass fusion.

My boyfriend took me here for a surprise birthday date and we were immediately hooked! Everything feels so cozy and empowering. Super chill and no rush to just have a fun afternoon together. We can't wait to be regulars here! Maybe bring earplugs in case the many children get "overly enthusiastic." ;)
