    I had a fun experience at my first rug tufting here! Located within the Atlantic blvd plaza so…read moreunderground parking is easy. The spot looks a little small, but they have private back rooms to work on your rugs. One of the hardest parts for us was having a design ready! That maybe took an hour lol I would come with multiple designs in mind and to make sure the color blocking is larger, especially for your first time. After we chose our design, we got a lesson on how to use the tufting guns and especially the safety of how to hold them because the needle is quite sharp. We were then set up with our rugs, and got underway. You trace your design with markers first with a projection. When you start tufting, the key is to have a steady hand, try as best to evenly space your rug lines as you go and keep a good pace, and only doing one color at a time. After this they will show you how to save down your rug and then will add the backing for you because the glue/iron is very hot. This spot was conveniently located to grab drinks and snacks at nearby businesses. Overall a really fn experience and Iove seeing my new rug everyday!

    My friend took me tufting for my birthday and it was such a fun experience! We booked our…read moreappointments online on their website where you could choose what size rug you want. We decided on the small rug which was $98. Once we got there we were greeted by the worker and waited a few minutes for them to set up our tufting stations. Remember to bring your design on your phone to show them! The worker was really nice, he guided us throughout the whole process. He demonstrated how to properly used the tufting gun and his tips to remember when using it. First, they project your design on the canvas for you to trace. After, you start the tufting process which took a long timee. My hands would cramp up and my back got tired from standing. They do have chairs for you to sit on but I found it was harder for me to put enough pressure on the canvas when I sat down lol. I think they have a good selection of primary colored yarns to choose from, but I think they could have more shades of colors. This part took the longest! I was worried that we wouldn't finish in our appointment time which was 3-6pm but they were very lenient and said we could take as long as we want or even come back another time to finish it. So we ended up staying till 3-9pm. Once you are satisfied with it the worker showed us how to cut and shave the rug for the final product! Overall was a really fun activity and worth the experience for the price. Tips: do prepare to spend a lot of time there especially if it's your first time.

    Decided to take an intro class to wheel throwing and initially had my doubts due to previous…read moreexperiences in high school. Our instructor Kristen (and the blonde instructor -- forgot her name) were patient and encouraging throughout the entire class. Kristen's in depth explanation + demonstration was easy to follow as a beginner, but the instructors frequently made their rounds to work with everyone individually, giving advice and feedback. Despite the class session only being 2 hrs, I felt like I was able to focus on improving basic skills and learning new techniques. Even if you don't have any interest in pottery, I HIGHLY recommend taking a class regardless. The space is welcoming, and it was a great (and fun) way to release stress creatively :) looking forward to how my pieces come out!

    Their one time workshops are great for trying out a new hobby without the commitment. I took the…read morematcha bowl and whisk holder making class. It was a full class and the instructor patiently explained each step. Before you sign up, make sure to read the description carefully. There are hand-building classes and wheel throwing classes. Hand-building is hand molding and you don't work with the wheel. My one-time matcha bowl and whisk holder making class was hand-building and we don't get to decorate or glaze it. Instead, you get to pick from a selection of paint colors and their team finish glazing and fire it for you. You also need to wait about 6 weeks for it to be ready for pick up, which is standard for community pottery places. I picked the white paint with specks which I regretted. The glaze came back with some uneven spots and a dark brown mark on the outside. Since the studio glazed it for us, I was a little disappointed with the final result. Pottery definitely tests your patience and perfectionism. Not sure if pottery is for me, but I might come back for their wheel throwing class.
