Some games and toys could also be fun for the grown ups who are young at heart. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The store is clearly a labor of love. Highly recommended.

There was a table for gifts and a table for snacks and drinks. We had an attendant that got the kids set up with the tools and paints they needed. The kids got to pick from really cute pieces to paint. We had the from for 1:45 but since there was no party booked after ours we got sit in there for two hours. My daughter had a great time and I would recommend them as a place to have a party. I wish that they would have written Happy Birthday on the chalk board in the room though. It still said merry Christmas lol.

Pottery is already in bisque form, so just paint away. It's usually ready to pick up a week after you finish. I did some really cute small stuff bc I had to bring back on a plane. I will post pics later.

We were pleasantly surprised to see all these colorful works of art and a very neat studio. Dena told us all about the studio, and described it as an interactive art studio that helps people of all ability levels to learn new art techniques through a variety of classes and events. Very fun looking crafts ranging from 'fluid art', resin beach scenes, resin tumblers, charcuterie boards, wine glasses and more. You can book a paint/resin and sip party (BYOB) and create a very unique piece of art to take home. The finished art examples are on display in the shop and I loved the resin artwork. So much color and bling! There are some jewelry pieces for sale from local artists here as well. Can't wait to come back here to try a class! It is a very uplifting atmosphere and Dena was very friendly and enthusiastic.

Tuft A Rug is one of the coolest and most creative thing to do- ever! I've been an artsy gal my…read morewhole life and have done all the artsy activities that you can do with your friends but rug tufting definitely takes the cake. Tuft-A-Rug is located in Fox Valley Mall, which is perfect as most other rug making locations are in the city. Walking by, you can immediately see people already at work (a genius way to grab people's attention!). You start by choosing what size rug you would like to make, as price and time requirements differ with both. I recommend booking in advance. If you come as a group, the fee also becomes discounted. I chose the 21x18 size and went with a friend which came to about $60 per person. It starts out with a demonstration so you get to practice a bit! I was super nervous but once you get the hang of it, it's so much fun. You can make any design you want. You'll trace out the image by either free handing it, or you can use your phone to project a picture and trace it that way. A tip is that if you know what you want to do and have an image, you can actually email it to them and they can trace it ahead of time so it's ready- which is super convenient. There's a plethora of color yarn you can choose from. I know I keep saying it, but seriously, this activity was so much fun. Once it comes together it really gives you so much satisfaction. It did take quite a bit of time, and the bigger and more complex your design, the longer it will take. I, of course, like to make my life complicated for some reason so it took a bit of time, maybe about 3 hours. But it came out SO cute! I made a hedgehog laying in a bed of daisies!! Please do note, that you will not go home with your rug the day of. They do have to finish it which may take about a month (it can be shipped if need be). There are some options of finishing touches that you can select. And if you do have some small patchiness that might need a touch up, they're happy to help! Service was awesome, the owner Keaton was the bomb. So patient, funny, and super helpful! Even with a bigger group he managed to help everyone when they needed it. The location is ideal, there's definitely enough space and seating, cool walls to take photos with your rugs. The playlist was bomb. The price is completely fair and actually very affordable for the service, time, and product. I really have nothing but more raving to do about this place and wish it all the best. I've already recruited a friend group to come back and do it with me! Keaton is passionate about his work and it is very clear in the way it is set up! So as always, please support local businesses and especially this one which is unique and so much fun! You won't regret it!

A business's real-world behavior tells you everything you need to know about how they operate. If…read moreTuft A Rug treats their actual customers with the same total lack of respect they show to the local community's personal property, save your money and look elsewhere. While I was having lunch nearby at Lazy Dog with my family, a representative from this shop decided to use the entire parking lot as their personal dumping ground, going row by row shoving unsolicited advertising flyers under the windshield wipers of every single vehicle including mine. Let's be entirely clear: nobody wants your marketing garbage forced onto their car. It is incredibly invasive and disrespectful to touch someone else's vehicle without permission. Beyond that, it creates an immediate, ugly litter problem for the neighborhood when these papers inevitably blow away or get tossed onto the pavement by annoyed drivers. If a company has to resort to desperate, intrusive, guerrilla-style littering tactics just to get eyeballs on their brand, it speaks volumes about the sub-par quality of their operation. I will absolutely never support Tuft A Rug, and I strongly urge everyone else to take their business to other local shops that actually respect private property and the community.

They have a ton of options and it's nice to be able to pick something that you might actually use for your house. (I ended up with a turtle dish that is being used as a jewelry holder!) There's no time limit and walk-ins are welcome, we went around 7:30 at night. The girls working there were super friendly and explained everything to us, only thing is I wish they didn't accidentally cover up our numbers with paint since I couldn't remember which was which. Not too sure why there is such a negative review about the pricing, they're very upfront about pricing and there is plenty of options around the 20$ mark. would I recommend taking younger kids here? Probably not. But older kids would have such a fun time and get really proud seeing their work finalized.
