The staff was so helpful and there were so many super cute crafts to chose from. We ended up being allowed to stay longer to work since there was an opening in the schedule, which was so generous!

She loves going in, getting her things together and starting to make something. She loves that she has freedom to express and create... with some guidance and feedback but also enough room for her work to be HER work vs a cookie cutter composition that looks exactly like some other artist. She gets to see and play with art the way she wants to, AND I love bringing pieces home and hanging them on the wall. (Talk about a self-esteem booster for her!) I love that Cara and her team bring real art concepts to the kids in a way that they understand and relate to. I highly recommend The Arterie to anyone who is looking to support their child's artistic expression. It's sooooo important... And as an artist myself, I just love creating a love for arts with kids without judgement or assessment.

So sad to not support The Makery any longer. I was a very early adopter of the original shop, going…read morewith friends as well as regularly getting Take and Make kits. When the subscription club started, I was in the initial round, paying over $100 every couple of months for a long time for blind projects. Veteran family, woman, POC owned company - and cute fun. I taught friends to love them and brought several new subscribers to the business over the years. But the customer service has left me in complete (negative!!) disbelief! Unfortunately, Jolie and The Makery have lost my support. There were some super bowl Facebook "games" in February of 2022. I engaged with the posts for fun, expecting nothing. Then was notified I had won a free sign and to contact them for shipping. I did. As you can read for yourself, for over 6 months I've been told different stories while nothing has ever shipped. It's shocking because the website is full of items for sale that match the give away. Jolie and team simply needed to send something surplus they never sold and be done with it (it was a random design after all). It's become principle. Companies ask you to engage to grow their social media presence. The giveaways need to be followed through with. Especially for a long standing customer. Honestly, even letting me know the timeline or that they couldn't afford to send something would have been enough. Acting annoyed I asked didn't sit well with me - With a little communication, I would have said no worries, I didn't need anything! I have entire boxes in my garage of her projects not started as I supported for so long but never had time to do most of them. About 5-6 months after the back and forth there were items posted for sale. I simply asked if any of those were available for the giveaway never sent. My comments were deleted, I was blocked, and my messages and since been rejected. I was treated as an aggressive troll, not a customer that had been respectful and spent quite a bit of money. Simply put, The Makery uses customers to increase their social media engagement and sales, yet doesn't follow through. Support has been lost - from me. Don't fall for the "we love our customers so much". They don't. You could be taken advantage of too! Lots of similar kits from small businesses out there from great, small businesses - some even cheaper! Shop elsewhere!
