Did a one time wheel throwing class and Kristen was our instructor. She was amazing and very patient. Whenever I felt like things were going wrong, she took time to make sure I got back on track and showed me how to do things properly even if I had to ask multiple times. There was also another lady walking around to help and she was also very patient and nice. I feel like the price is worth it since you get to make two items and they don't try to rush you. Would recommend this to all skill levels! Can't wait to see the finished product when it's ready.

FIRST OF ALL, THIS REVIEW IS ONLY FOR THE IN-STORE PICKUP SERVICE…read more Arrived at the curbside pick-up spot, checked in on my phone as "I have arrived", the screen showed "We are on our way". Then 15 minutes passed, no one showed up and I was in a hurry to get to another place. So I walked in and got in line, the cashier was totally not aware of my arrival and simply said sorry and gave me my order. Not sincere enough. Walking out the store with a strong disappointment. Not sure if I would ever come here for another in-store pickup.

I loved this place! My daughter and I went to a similar place but I like this one much better…read more They have much more variety. Given there's no food here but the second floor of the mall has a great selection of quick food. My daughter made a water bottle with icing and some charms and I made a bear. I just didn't know that mine would take a week to dry I was joking about it but it was actually true. The girls who work here were very nice. I came on a Sunday to pick it up and the whole mall is packed so I might try to come in during the week. When I came in it was just my daughter and I. I definitely want to come back to make my own picture frame. Also the paint did dry up a little darker so I would go brighter

I would give this place a much higher rating but I was disappointed in the turn around time. The…read moreflyer and website both say 7-10 day return time. After painting the piece we were told it would be 20 days for pick up. We went in 16 days before Mother's Day, believing we would have sufficient time, only to be blind sided. They should update their website and the flyer they give you when you arrive. This is bad business! Had I known the turn around time was so long, I would have went to Color Me Mine. Update. The pottery came in 13 days rather than 20. Thank you! My rating is now

I took an Introduction to Macrame Weaving class last week at Craft. I have been an Art Teacher for…read more10 years and was very excited to learn some new skills to teach the young ones. The class was scheduled for 2 hours. We ended an hour early with an end product that was a bit underwhelming. Our instructor was friendly enough, though never introduced herself nor took the time to ask the class (all 3 of us) our names. I wrote a letter to the owner and never got a response back. Highly unlikely I will return. Below is the letter I sent, including a few other underwhelming aspects to the class: "Hello! I took last evening's Macrame Weaving workshop. As I was driving back to Long Beach last evening after the class, I had some time to reflect on the workshop. I signed up for it to learn a new skill that I could potentially teach my students. (I've been an Art Teacher for many years). Unfortunately, I feel very disappointed with the class as a whole, as well as with our end result product. I believe the owner was there last evening; I regret not having pulled her aside to chat, though I wasn't quite clear on how I felt about the class until I was on my ride home. Our instructor was very friendly and I so appreciate the use of the high quality organic cotton cord. I also appreciated the hand out with the images of various knot styles. However, I don't even know what our instructor's name was. She never introduced herself or asked our names - there were only two other participants besides myself. We ended class nearly an hour early. This feels like a waste of project making and learning time. Either the project we did was too simple or our instructor wasn't thoroughly prepared. Her instruction was okay, though I don't think it is very helpful to physically do something for the student which she did a number of times. I believe it is more helpful to walk them through it verbally while allowing them to do it to experience the motions and acquire muscle memory. Craft is a great space! I wanted to share my thoughts because I think the class I took last evening could be improved upon for future students. Thank you for reading, Ivette"

We highly recommend people who live in local area just check this place out. They have fun things for kids and adults as well.

[Parking]: Easy and free designated parking for the plaza and our party had no issue finding an available spot on Saturday afternoon. [Products]: Most of the stickers are original artwork with only a few anime IPs (less than 1/8 of all stickers). I thought their LA County stickers (including some cities from San Bernardino County) for each city were pretty neat. The shop also has some decent Japanese-brand notebooks, toolboxes, pens, etc. Customers can also make their own through the website by uploading their own images (minimum order of 50 stickers). [Conclusion]: The store is not everyone's cup of tea, but for the right target customers this is an amazing store.

Before taking the class, please know that you should have your own machine in good working order, and how to use the basic functions. If you don't know how to use your machine, you can sign up for a private lesson to learn the ins and outs of it. They email you a supplies list before the class. Wow the class was amazing!! Sheryl was our instructor and she was so knowledgeable and patient with us. We learned how to stitch a basic line, curved lines, how to sew a hem, gather fabric and we even did a zipper! We even learned how to change needles and feet on our machines. The class flew by and by the end, I was ready to start sewing. I would recommend this business for anyone wanting to take on any crafting projects that require sewing. They have additional sewing project classes which I plan to attend in the future.

This is isn't your grandma's arts and crafts show. Unless your grandma is a Pabst Blue Ribbon drinking, sailor swearing, Johnny Cash loving, type of dame. The genre or culture this show caters to could be described as rock, rockabilly, pin up, psychobilly, or alternative rock. There's a little bit of everything for ladies, there are lots of vendors (I'd say about 3-4 dozen) who were selling jewelry, hair bows, tshirts, art, and some dessert vendors. If you like zombies, skulls, pin ups, cherries, retro, glamour, then this is right up your alley. The event was great, my only complaint was how warm it was. There seemed to be little to no ventilation in that place (Santa Anita Race Track) . There was a DJ playing some awesome music and a stage all the way at the end where groups/bands were playing. There was a pin up contest and some contest give aways too. Overall the vibe was great! The vendors were all super friendly. We saw so many beautiful, lovely women and business owners. Everyone was complimenting one another and it was genuine. I'm a big fan of supporting handmade items and local artists. The handmade movement is getting larger and larger thanks to social media, looking forward to another Pink Parlour Festival.
