    Star's Beads is a great place to go for your bead-related crafting needs, their stock is…read moreimpressive! Came here with my family since we were visiting other stores in the areas and my mother needed a particular item. While she was unsuccessful in that regard, the sheer variety of beads and related craft items is outstanding, and highly likely to give you exactly what you need (and most importantly, allow you to see and feel the product before you buy a bunch of it). The owner and employee we interacted with were nice, though seemed to take some umbrage at our mention of how challenging it was to find the place. I think it's cool that this area has a multitude of businesses fit into a relatively small amount of real estate, though that does present a challenge to those unfamiliar with the area and the stores they are looking for. Honestly, the signage was good, so there's not much more they can do to make locating them easier, it's just going to be a challenge for first-time customers. Pricing of individual items makes them doable for individual projects or gifts, though not for a business looking to source its crafting components. Getting samples from here to try them out then buying in bulk somewhere might be the most economically-efficient approach. Overall, I was very impressed with this location, and it appeared they were teaching a class in the back of the store as well, so if you're looking to brush up on your crafting abilities, this would be a great place to do it! Overall: 4.0 stars --- Pros: - Nice staff. - Great selection of crafting products. - Classes are available for those needing a refresher or instruction in crafting techniques. Cons: - Prices are decent for those pursuing unique projects, though would not be for people making crafts for sale. - Location is a bit of a challenge to find. My recommendation: look at every sign in the windows from the street, and if you pay close attention you will see Star's Beads, then walk around the building and there is a door in the back up some stairs (this is the actual entrance).

These nature stone are beautiful, but can get expensive. Sunday will be the last day of this natural stones sale. Still, if you're into making jewelry and selling it, you got to spend money to make money. The last time I was here, I didn't have as much fun. Maybe because the desire to make jewelry wasn't as appealing to me as it is now. Learning tricks of the trade will be fun. I met Ms. Kay and she is a character if I ever met one. Her personality is wonderful and when it comes to wearing jewelry, she says "go bigger." The fedora man had a good personality to, but I don't remember his name, but the man does have style. I will definitely be back to buy some tools I will need to improve my jewelry making skills. I would like to thank Ms. Kay and my wife for opening my eyes on a wonderful hobby.

    Hot Mess Studios is one of a few great pottery studios in the Wilmington. They have group and…read moreindividual private lessons and parties for on wheel pottery, canvas painting, and piece painting. They have 3 speciality nights you can sign up for in advance. On Thursdays they do Ladies Night Sip & Spin where you get one hour 1 pot, throw as many as you like, keep what you like for just $10 more + wine. Fridays are "Filthy Fridays" where adults 16 and over can sign up for a 7 pm or 8:30 pm time slot and get 1 pot + 1 ball of clay with the option of more at $10 each. On Saturdays they do the same thing but it's family friendly sessions (ages 7+) from 1 - 6pm, and 16+ reservation only from 7-8 pm. They're closed Monday - Wednesday with an exception of private reservations in advance. If you have special time and group number requests I'm sure they can accommodate if you call ahead and plan. They're very responsive, professional and easy to schedule with. I did all my scheduling through email and received prompt responses. The gal running our lesson, Emma, was also so professional and sweet. She's great at what she does and I'd recommend any beginner taking lessons from her. When we arrived Emma greeted us at the door, walked us through the studio, showed us the process and helped us whenever we needed throughout the activity. I had a certificate for 2 hours, 2 people, and 4 pieces each. It was plenty of time and almost too much clay for two first timers, which is a good problem to have. I'm not sure if that special is still running but check their website to see active discounts - they run great deals, often, and are super affordable for what it is! I would highly recommend trying it out or giving as a gift!

    Awesome studio, highly recommend that date night package. Fun place to take my wife on a date. Good…read moreatmosphere!
