I did not personally go into the store or do anything there but I didnt call to get some advice on a project I am working on! I spoke with Haley and she was sooo much help! Even though they could not physically help me with what I needed they directed me in the correct direction and gave me very good feedback.

I've done to two different classes. First being a canvas painting class, then a pottery wheel class. I've enjoyed each one a lot and have learned a lot of cool things while taking the pottery wheel class. My niece and I can't wait to do another one.

Was here for my friend's birthday. All the family gathered around painting their individually chosen pottery pieces was so much fun.
Attached is pictures of my painted piece. I pick it up next week after they finish baking it in the kiln.
