I love that there are so many different options and everyone can choose their own project. It was hard to choose just one. The set up is very organized and it is easy to find the supplies you need. The instructions are very detailed and easy to follow. Nicole is very patient and helpful, but at the same time doesn't intervene unless you ask. She said she wanted us to feel like it was our project. We all left feeling so proud and accomplished. I have my final product proudly on display at home. I can't wait to come back to do more projects. I can't recommend this place enough!

I signed up to take a coaster making class, which will take place soon, but also purchased an additional kit to make. The shipping was fast and I received the kits 3 days before the class. The night I received the kit, I completed the extra craft I purchased, which was the wooden cactus in a pot. Nicole, the owner, didn't cut corners. She was extremely thorough in everything included in completing your kit. There was even a nail to help you pick up the stencil, if needed. The packaging of all the items was great as well. Everything was labeled and matched with the instructions. Every minute detail was accounted for. You could tell the thought put into this, and that was superb. The instructions were so in depth and she made it so you could not screw it up. They were concise and easy to follow, which made completing the project a delight. There were also tips throughout the instructions, which helped. I live in Buffalo, NY and we have DIY studios around town, but it was so refreshing to be able to purchase different and unique crafts that you can't get around here. I highly recommend this studio for crafting, and hope someday I can attend a class in person.

We were able to get a water bottle engraved and I've been using it daily ever since. I explored the space more and saw that they had several 3D printers, large photo/poster printers, vinyl cutters, sewing machines, laser cutter, metal and wood workshop, and probably more that I missed. Membership is free to MCCCD students, faculty and staff and they charge at cost for materials, which is a great deal. It's open to the public as well and they have membership options. Staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and easy to chat with. I would love to come back and explore more of their offerings!

My son (31 yo) is learning how to tinker with computer programming. The people there working on their own stuff were very open to teach and help. I signed up and took a class on the laser use and my project has since turned out nice. We spent 4 hours there one Saturday and felt like it was paradise.

I belong to a dining group who hosted an event here (catering from an external location). And what a great venue! We used the patio in the back, which is artistic, beautiful, lots of seating, a tent area for gathering and playing music, topped with sincere, wonderful service from some great people! We had Walter Brewing provide sampling of their brews (amazing!). We had a tour of the facility and learned so much about the non-profit outreach to make art accessible to all ages and abilities. I may just have to come back for one of their Monday night FREE art classes!!! Plus an Art Gallery! What's not to like! Please consider visiting and check out the work they do! And if you need a venue for a small, informal event, you won't be disappointed!

Cool looking lobby nice artwork Nice bar area and cafe Nice showers in rooms Downstairs hallways were comfortably climate controlled The bad: Hallways on the room floors were a bit hot..if they were air conditioned, it wasnt working WATER/SNACKS are not available after bar and cafe close (around 9 is on weekday). If you want it, youll have to walk down the street a few blocks. EXPENSIVE: At first I thought their room rates were quite reasonable but upon checking in I ended up paying half as much again just for parking! PARKING: I scanned the QR code for parking immediately entered my info but failed to notice that i didn't receive a confirmation. Apparently something went wrong). 45 minutes later my car was booted and had to pay $220 to get it off! Be careful, whomever controls the parking is aggressive. there must be someone lurking there 24/7 waiting for the chance to get you! MECHANICALS: Looks like they spent a lot of money on aesthetics but not the mechanicals like air conditioning units. Couldnt sleep because my unit was 82 degrees at 10:00 pm so had repack and change rooms.

Jessica's class was a fun way to spend an evening revisiting a craft I'd done years ago and really enjoyed. Both classes included all the instruction and tools you could want!
