I vouch for Michaels since I grew up going to it.

From selection of our item to paint, all the helpful hints and great selection of colors, stencils and ideas. I will definitely be back!

I called the number and asked if they had any availability for the two of us and the lady on the line was very helpful on getting our reservation. Upon arrival we were directed to wash our hands with soap and water, then we could proceed to choose our item that we wanted to paint. We'd let the lady know what we were interested in painting and they'd rinse the item with water. They showed us all the colors of paint and instructed us on how many coats of paint we'd need to brighten the color. After we completed, we gave wrote down our number and less than a week later. They came out wonderful! The cost was more than understandable for the items to paint, colors, and quality of service. We had an amazing time and will for sure be back again!

I dropped off my quilts and explained that I wanted to finish the bindings by hand, which meant to…read moreme (as I left a LOT of fabric for them) that when I received it, it would be quilted where the batting was attached, and they would leave a fabric border for me to turn and sew. First of all, the seamstress tells me, "I made a little mistake on your quilt." SHE CUT OFF THE WHOLE BOTTOM BORDER! In addition, if you look closely you can see the quilting goes INTO the border. So, I had to hand-remove the invaiding stitches, and then remove the excess batthing. The other quilt (floral) has the same border problem so I will have to painstakingly remove stitches again. On top of this I was charged $238 for these two quilts, and she did not even offer me a discount for her mistake. I will never go back.

We saw Hobby Lobby's sign off the freeway so knew we had to stop before heading home. My daughter…read moreand I love this store but there are none around in our area so we were delighted there is one in Fairfield. The shopping center parking lot was packed and so was Hobby Lobby. No baskets or carts available so we walked around as best as we could to check out this year's holiday displays. It was challenging to walk around with so many people in the Christmas aisles so I left to check out the rest of the store. After about 30 minutes and our arms filled with treasures, we obviously needed a cart so I went searching for one at the front of the store. Jackpot! Two carts returned so my daughter and I were able to comfortably move our things into one cart. It's a large store with too many fun things to look at and want. I truly wish there was a store closer to us. My receipt said my checker was Danielle W. She was exceptionally happy and filled with smiles. She was also kind enough to wrap our breakables before putting them in a bag. I appreciated her cheerful demeanor in spite of the huge crowds she must have been seeing all day. The store was fairly well stocked and clean in spite of all the shoppers. Hobby Lobby is such a fun store for gifts, crafts, décor and seasonal gems.

We arrived 10 minutes before 11am and the gallery was not opened yet. So we strolled around Benicia and by the time it was 11am everyone else was checked in and sitting. My friend and I were two of three newbies. The other attendants had been there before. Our instructor was Robbie. Robbie is fantastic! Ceramics can be a lot more difficult than expected. But Robbie made it fun and it was easy to follow along. The small class size made it personalized and easy to get further help if you feel you missed a step or wanted help or ideas on further customizing your project. Robbie provided many ideas for how previous classes added a unique touch to their chip and dip bowls like widening the dip bowl area, stamps, a different edge that is straight rather than wavy etc. We were shown glaze options at the end of the class including samples of what the finished color would look like. My friend chose Nutmeg and I chose the grey-green glaze. In about three weeks I got an email that our pieces were ready for pick up! Robbie was there again! She carefully wrapped our projects for me. We also chatted a little about the other classes (flowers) and their inventory. I couldn't be more pleased with the end result and the class itself was really fun! I see why people keep coming back to do different classes! The store itself has a great variety of art pieces. They obviously have ceramics. Including a little clearance cart at the front of the store. Student pieces which are also discounted. They have metal work. And jewelry. They have cards from local artists. What a wonderful addition to Benicia! I'm sure I'll be back again soon either for another class or just to browse what beautiful pieces they have for purchase.
