We walked in without an appointment, and we were able to be seen same day. There's a huge selection of wedding invites to get inspiration from. Andrea is so knowledgeable from everything to the type of font to use, to the ply of the paper, to helping us write out what to say. She's very communicative and transparent about pricing as well. The whole process from deciding on our invites to sending them to the printer and getting them back maybe took about 3ish(?) weeks. I highly recommend for any occasion!

I've been a few times and will go again. It's great when you want to actually see the colors and feel the yarn. And yarn is reasonably priced. I'm thinking of a sewing project too so I plan to buy fabric there as well.

A five-star review when they didn't have what I went there for?…read more This is about the service, not necessarily the store itself. I really had to have a specific product: what? OK, it was the Caran D'ache Grafcube, red tint. There's no place that has this and I *had* to have it *now*, so I checked Blick's website and the store availability checker... In stock in Harlem (only). I'm in Brooklyn but it's a nice bike ride, so on my way... I get there, it's right near the Studio Museum (YES! MY FAVORITE NYC MUSEUM) I find the right aisle, I find the Caran D'ache case which says "Grafcube RGB" - the EMPTY case! The lady who had already offered to help me was still nearby, so I asked her. She checked and the inventory system said there were several in stock. There are overstock cartons above the shelves, labelled with brand or media type. This incredible person (drum roll here...) N'Deye (pronounced En-Day, BTW) reassures me that we'll find them, gets a ladder and starts taking down and going through each obvious carton. When we've exhausted those, she then goes through the non-obvious cartons. We examined about 30 cartons(!) When we cannot find them, she gets a colleague (manager maybe) and he tells her some things to check in the inventory system and they determine that they're not actually in the store (last received over a year ago), maybe stolen. N'Deye then apologized so profusely and sincerely. Hey. at this point I was so touched by all of the attention that had been given, I was fine :) So... disappointing trip...? Let's see Blick stock control: 0 stars Blick location: 4 stars Blick associate N'Deye: 11 stars Other Blick associate (sorry, I didn't get your name): 5 stars Average: (0+4+11+5)/4 = 5 Stars! But really, it's all about N'Deye - Blick management please take notice and recognize this! P.S. I did find the Red Grafcube (YAY*2) as part of a set they had at Janoff's, which I decided to try since I was already 12 miles from home

I found Little Shop of Crafts while searching for a fun spot for my niece's sixth birthday, and it…read morewas a total hit! What really sealed the deal for me was the ability to paint and leave with your masterpiece on the very same day. It was super important for the kids to take home what they worked on; waiting a whole week for a pot to cure and dry is something we can save for a future birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed. There were other kids happily making soap, and the woman who greeted us kindly explained that we could pick whatever we wanted to paint. Once we selected our items, we paid and were set up at a table with paints, brushes, and an apron. I'm so glad she made sure we knew the paint didn't wash out of clothes. Pro-tip: Even if you're not painting, wear the apron. Trust me, your shirt will thank you for this advice! The kids had an absolute blast. It was so interactive, and once they finished, they had blow dryer stations so we could dry the paint. The best part? They took the painted items to the back and made them all shiny! This place is a definite hit. And I hear it's fun even for adults with no kids in tow. Girls' night, anyone? Sign me up!

Came here with a friend and had a great time. Booking was really easy. I requested the 2-hour…read moreintroductory course for needle felting and got an email response within 10 minutes. The store is small, clean, and cozy and classes were intimate. My friend and I were the only people taking the felting class and there were 2-3 other people weaving. The 2-hour course included 2 "projects" - making a bird (where the instructor introduced the basic techniques) and then making another object of our choice. The instructor was nice and informative but I felt really rushed. We spent about an hour on the bird, which didn't leave us much time for the second object. They were also really strict on time (they started counting down towards the end of the 2-hour session and cleaning up the equipment/tools) even though we started late (they were still setting up when we got there). Fun experience but I just really wish we had more time (or didn't have to make the bird).

The staff is helpful and gives you the information you need to get started, but then you just get to quietly relax, work, and create unless you have a question.

Before you know it, you have a pretty piece of fabric that you can turn into a wall hanging, table runner, etc. Definitely a neat experience!
