This is a school/store that works with glass cutting, stained glass making, and kilning flat glass works. They sell all the glass and glass supplies. They even have books and newsletters where you can copy someone's design. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They took us around and showed us all the workshops, kilns, and supplies that they offer. We were stunned to see the colorful displays of the students' works shining in the windows. The staff is so friendly, and obviously passionate about their art! They're happy to help and answer any questions. It's a wonderful community resource! I can't wait to take a class here!

Sometimes it looks like there aren't enough tables/tools in there with all the customers but it always seems to work out! I would give 5 stars because we have continually gone back but I feel like more can be done to show what products are available. It's a silly complaint but I'm always a little bummed when I don't see a piece I would like to work on so I settle for something affordable. (Which in my experience range from $18, 22, 28, 34, etc. I am sure there are ones more/less costly) I also understand some items maybe seasonal or limited but I think snapping a couple pictures and updating their "inventory" on Facebook/Instagram a little more often could go a long way. Lastly, we have found ourselves wanting to go to the store a few times but arrive and realize they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is key to remember when you go back to pick up the pieces you painted and paid for. Photos below are from August 2022.

If you've perused my avatars, then you know that I'm a collector of the creepy and arcane, an…read moreaesthete of the sinister, the macabre, the ironic. I have amassed quite the collection of horror movie memorabilia, signed lyrics sheets, personal correspondence with serial killers*, war artefacts, and sundry other things, some of which I dare not make public on Yelp. While sifting through my most prized items recently, I realized just how cool they would look framed on the walls of the haunted murder dungeon I call my home. Framing, though, can be an expensive proposition, especially at Kurt Youngblood, the premier framing business in town. I've dropped many thousands of dollars there over the years, money well spent but not economically feasible moving forward; I simply have too much stuff! Only recently did I discover that Hobby Lobby had a framing department. The prices I saw advertised online were a fraction of what I've spent at Kurt Youngblood, but I was skeptical. Should I entrust unvetted workers at a chain with my priceless, one-of-a-kind items? My intuition told me "yes," so off I went. I'm glad I did! About a week ago, I dropped off three personally signed horror movie posters for framing. One was signed and dedicated to me by Robert Englund ("Freddy Krueger"), and the other two were signed by Don Coscarelli, writer and director of the excellent "Phantasm" film series. The guy at the counter took a photo of each poster, fed the photos into a computer program, and showed me how they would look with various frames and borders. I settled on a black frame with a red border for all three. He told me they would be ready by September 23rd, which seemed reasonable, and quoted me a price of approximately $125 each. That might sound steep, but Kurt Youngblood would have charged me at least 50% more. Imagine my surprise when I received a call that all three posters were ready only a few days later! This Hobby Lobby is only a short drive from my house, so I rushed over to pick them up. All three were perfect: seamless, symmetrical, and exactly what I had requested. They look gorgeous and professional, and I can't wait to hang them on my walls this weekend. I'm so impressed with the work Hobby Lobby did that I plan to have several more items framed there very soon. Look at the three photos I've posted so far and revel in their awesomeness! I also take perverse, ironic pleasure in the fact that my Freddy Krueger poster -- which references my spirit communication evidence and refers to me as a "bitch" -- is now the featured photo for Hobby Lobby, a business run by a Fundamentalist Baptist. Now, if only I could locate the letter and pentagram doodle I received from Richard Ramirez, aka The Night Stalker. *I should have written "incarcerated serial killers." If I had correspondence from active serial killers, then that would be impressive indeed.

She even went as far as to mention the bell being there should somebody need to request/call for assistance. Wow. Cheers.

When I described what I wasn't finding and asked when there might be more selection, I was told "what we get is there, I have no control over what the truck brings". The employee turned and moved on. Five minutes later on a different aisle when I had found what I was looking for, they (same employee), asked me again the same question. I replied "I didn't value the first response, why would I waste my time". This incident would not normally be the meat and potatoes of a review, but the employee appeared to be representing management. I will attempt shopping here again and hope for a better response to a request for green yarn.

They offer a great selection of supplies, and if something isn't in stock, they're happy to order it for you--just keep in mind it may take a little time to arrive. One of the things I appreciate most is the flexibility they offer. In addition to a variety of classes, they allow studio access outside of class time so you can continue working on your projects at your own pace. If you're not ready to commit to a class or workshop, they also offer flexible studio time with daily, weekly, and monthly options at a very competitive pricing. It's a very welcoming and inclusive environment. I've brought my teenager for both classes and studio time, and I've seen other members bring their kids as well. They're family- and pet-friendly, which makes the space feel even more relaxed and inviting. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, which really enhances the experience. I've taken classes, used open studio time, and even done a full solo Raku firing--all of which have been fantastic. One of my favorite parts is being able to bring my dog along so he can enjoy the day at the studio with me.

I came to BMB 4 days before Christmas and the hats were done by mid-day the next day with no rush fee. They do very high quality work and have a great selection of hats to choose from. Affordable, as well! The lady I worked with was so helpful with designing the hats and made sure I was happy before I left. So happy, in fact, I ended up getting 5 hats because I knew the whole family would want one. I'm very satisfied with the quality of work and would highly recommend them!

For next year, I wanted all new shirts with my own unique logo. I searched the internet and found several companies that could do the job. I was surprised to see BMB Stitch Factory come up in my search. I was even more surprised to learn that they were located about two miles from my home. Instead of ordering on-line, I dropped into their storefront to meet with them and see their shirt selections in person. The lady I worked with there was awesome. She helped me find the shirts that would give me the best comfort and service as workshirts. Then, she even stitched two samples of my logo on black fabric so I could actually pick bettween stitiching styles and see what my shirts would look like before ordering. I liked the sample and ordered ten shirts on Monday, June 28th. They were ready to be picked up four days later, but I didn't get there until today. The shirts look fantastic. The price was fantastic. I will use BMB for all my future custom embroidery needs now because they are affordable, they do an excellent job, I can see and touch the merchandise for quality before selecting it, and the finished products are ready really fast. I plan to get some hats with the same logo for when I go out on duty. Maybe I'll get a jacket made for cold days. Who knows? When you need something embroidered, please drop by BMB and let them show you what they can do. If you do, tell them Jim Baker sent you. I don't get a kickback, but I want them to know that I am speaking highly of them.
