Love this place! So many things to do. The customer service is wonderful and the overall atmosphere is relaxing. This is a place to go to go paint or make something to relax. (Kids also love it)! My favorite thing to do is make mosaics.

I absolutely love this place. It is perfect for people who are not creative, such as myself. And perfect for extremely creative people. So many different things to choose from as well as different types of ways to create. You can create your own glass bowls you can create your own candles, you can create your own pottery. And the staff is so patient so friendly so knowledgeable and understanding
