Wow love, love, love this place. I could have spent hour upon hour in here. The owners were so…read morehelpful and welcomed you in like you were family. I just happened upon a truck show where they had 3 & 4 mm thunder polish crystals as well as rondells on sale. They also carry the mesh wire that is becoming so popular for making bracelets. If you are one who likes to have all the colors put together for you to make a project, they also have a large selection of kits with all of your supplies and you can just start beading your project. So if you're looking for beads and in the area Morton, IL make sure you check them out. This is not a place to miss!

Simply amazing! Ran in here with my niece to pick something up for my mother-in-law. Once we got…read morein, we were both in hog heaven! It happened to be my niece's 6th birthday so I let her make a necklace. The people working were so wonderful and knowledgeable in helping her create her masterpiece. Some places like this do not like kids in their store but here they really treated her like an actual person who mattered not like a child who was going to break everything she touched. It seemed as if she was the most important person in the store. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. I just wish we didn't live out of state or We'd be frequenting way more often!!!

Charged to much for class. Pottery not ready when said so. Couldn't find pottery…read moresaid someone might have took it by mistake. Said we'll keep looking and will contact you didn't contact i contacted said they found it. went in to pick it up was not finished being glazed. she said it was put on the wrong shelf because it looked like it hadn't been painted. It had been painted. I chose to inform the person behind the desk. Evidently they didn't flip it over. It had been painted and she said oh. After weeks of going thru this my granddaughter finally got her piece they also said that if you don't pick up your piece by seven days, they throw it out . Horrible service i never heard a I'm sorry fr the lady with glasses who I dealt with or give my granddaughter a free piece To paint something?!?! They acted like they did nothing wrong.

Last week my BF told me to get in the car for a SECRET DATE and we ended up in Peoria, at J Draper…read moreGlass. Best surprise EVER! J. Draper Glass is a glassblowing studio that offers classes to the public. During our visit we learned about making those glass pumpkins that are EVERYWHERE in the fall (that I've been not-so-secretly coveting), and then, with hands-on assistance, we got to make our own! Jeremie is the owner of J. Draper, and she worked one-on-one with my boyfriend and me. She was incredibly helpful, nice, and funny. Jeremie and her associates have the whole process down to a science, telling you exactly where to stand, when, making the class safe as well as fun. It was so cool to pick out colors and then make my pumpkin, and I equally loved watching my classmates' pumpkins take shape. J. Draper offers all kinds of classes that cater to a variety of interests and price ranges. There are also dozens of pieces of glass art for sale at the studio if you just want to pick up something beautiful for yourself or a friend. I highly recommend taking a class at J. Draper Glass! It was a fun and unique experience that I'll remember for a very long time.

We had a great family experience with Jeremie and the team! We made two projects in our nearly two…read morehour session. They are very friendly, funny, and make sure everyone has a great time. This is a really cool hands on activity and doesn't require guests to be super artistic. Anyone can do it with their help and make some really cool items. We made ornaments and sun catchers that will make great gifts or cool items for the house. I would recommend this for a date night, family night ( we had 7 people ), team building or just get together night with friends. No complaints at all. Not sure on the official age recommendation, but as a mom I'd say 12 and over.

I come into hobby lobby very often and Deana at the fabric counter is ALWAYS helpful and kind :)…read morethe fabric selection is a bit limited but I don't mind as it's all decent quality.

After a horrible experience with the Peoria Hobby Lobby, I am so glad I made the drive over to…read morePekin to have the rest of my projects done. This location is light years different from Peoria. The Pekin staff are super friendly, interested in your projects and really go out of their way to get you to the end result you want. They have the same deals and sales but you get customer service that is sooooo much better! I will never again waste my time at the Peoria store when I can make the quick jaunt over here and have my projects done with an actual smile in less than half the time!

Having a career in the field of guest service really shows me how bad businesses are failing at the…read moremost basic of things. One of the most basic things is guest service - the beginning interaction, the overall continued guest service while they're in your shop and the lasting impression that will be the deciding factor if someone will come back or not. I brought my family in and on a slower evening, mind you there were only (2) tables with (2) ppl at each table already painting their pottery. We walk in and the two girls at the register didn't bother to make eye contact, greet us, get up off their bums and ask us how our evening was... let alone helping us get started. They were more concerned about their personal conversation than working for the money the owners are paying them. Then basically they had to pry themselves out of their seats to get us paint... still no smiles, advice or anything. While we were painting they stopped at NO tables to ask if We needed anything or had questions. They just continued their personal conversations. Correct me if I'm wrong but they're there for the guests, not themselves. I can only hope they're better than that otherwise ownership really needs to take a closer look at who they let run their business. This is the first time and last time we will come back after spending almost $200 that night. It has a lot of potential to be a fun place to come and hangout but with employees like that, it was a turnoff immediately. I would've immediately turned around and walked out if it wasn't for me coming into town for a week to specifically spend time with my family while I was in town for a short time. But I was embarrassed I brought them there and we were treated or should I say ignored almost the entire Time we were there. When they wrapped up our session, again there was no smiling, zero personality and no cause to want to come back and spend more money. Debating if 2 stars is too much. Disappointing...
