Margot hand painted manatee designs for each card(to go with the under the sea themed party I through). Each of my friends loved their cards. This made me want to use her again later when I saw she did calligraphy letters to Santa that she would mail out. I purchased 4 letters to mail to the children in my life. It was a fun surprise for them. She even created an extra personalized note for one of the kids I told her celebrated both Hannukah and Christmas.

Margot's insanely talented & if I was still planning a wedding or having to send out formal invites...I'd hire her for her talented hand in a second! Additionally, I've had Margot help me w a graduation gift, an engraved bottle. I knew she was great at it bc shes engraved her own tumblers that I saw in-person & she at one point would engrave perfume bottles during holiday times within the department stores, usually the higher end ones. I hope to catch some more classes w my sister, mom & girlfriends in the future!

Spent a day creating my first mosaic piece at Breakables. I was pleased with the final product…read more They have a wide array of tiles and pieces, provide the glue, the item to receive the tile pieces and good space to work (little heat on cold days). It's nice it's next to a tea store so you can sip while you work. I thought I'd be finished in an hour but we were there over 3. Initially I thought the prices were high, starting at about $32 for smaller sized things, but after seeing the work, time and tiles involved, it's more than fair. I would have liked for it to be staffed with a helpful person with tiling experience, but the clerk from Picasso's ceramic painting café ran back and forth checking on us and couldn't have been nicer. We were largely on our own, after a brief demo on how to cut tiles. (Needy people and children will perhaps not like the set-up/independence required.) They send you home with a bag of grout to finish it 24 hours after the glue sets. Inventory for tile boards was scant. The finished models showed you what finished products looked like but were not available to make. They had some mosaics on Lucite and had an area for making candles. It was a good first experience. I love the whole artist enclave vibe of the strip of stores here.

I've taken two Stainglass classes there and I highly recommend to anyone who is just slightly interested Maddy makes it easy for you to get into stain glass by pre-cutting the pieces for the classes and Brandon brings refreshing cocktails, tea, or coffee drinks. It's unique in the fact that you can buy stain glass, use studio time to make your own peace, or take a class that she will guide you through. They sometimes have events which I highly recommend checking out like a make and take market during December

Maddy is a WONDERFUL teacher who really teaches you how to create a stained glass work of art from start to finish. She will teach you how to cut, grind, foil, solder and in the end you will love your new original piece of art. After taking the beginner class earlier this year I immediately fell in love with the process and decided for my birthday I would have a crafternoon with the gals! Maddy allowed me to book a private session, she gave me input on design choices, offered snack and drink and even decorated! It was such an amazing day spent with great friends in a super cute place. The studio is just a vibe, I really love it. In every nook and cranny is an interesting or just beautiful decoration or work of art. I just want to hang out in there and read or play a game which I'm pretty sure is encouraged! Within the studio you can find East Coast Trading Co. that offers delicious tea and coffee which you can enjoy for free during your class! In addition to the traditional stained glass classes, Maddy also offers date night options where a bit of the work is already done for you so that you and a guest can get right down to business! I've also seen advertisements for classes with embroidery, candle making, jewelry making, flower arranging, wood burning and resin. I also recently saw a super cool holiday event/market I am planning to check out. Basically if you have any interest in get a little crafty you should really check out 'Akala Studios!
