They also have some amazing sales. I have a hard time not wanting to buy all of it! The ladies that work here are always nice and helpful. They offer classes on how to do a lot of the techniques you see around the store, and although I haven't participated in one yet, they seem very informative and fun. Great shop!

I have to say the woman who was working Saturday July 8 at 4:30-5:00 PM was the best help I've ever…read morehad in a store! We came a long way to a week-long event and we stayed in Harrisonburg both on the way and on the way back (halfway). I had found the store through Yelp and was eager to visit. We missed the business hours the first trip and got there at 4:50 on the way back. The clerk was so kind to stay open nearly an hour longer so the five of us could shop and see the art and studios. (All of us are artists). She was more than gracious! I'm in a power wheelchair which got caught on the rug at the check out and she was completely unfazed and kind about me thrashing about, causing her to move many things. The prices were a bit steep on many things but that didn't stop me from buying a lot of goodies I've searched for a long time. I left very happy, and so did my companions! We will all gladly go again next year if not before!

Fun place! Choose your own ceramics to paint. There is an extensive selection and includes mugs,…read moreplates, bowls, decorative pieces, etc. Even though we went on a Sat we had the place to ourselves! You choose your colors, sit down and go to town! They fire it up and it takes up to a week to be able to pick up. We are still awaiting the final products but we had a lot of fun painting them! It was a bit pricy bc you pay for the piece as well as the studio fee so we paid close to $60 for the 2 pieces we painted but it was a special occasion so worth it :)

Held a 1.5 hour birthday party for a group of 2-5 year olds here on a Saturday morning on the…read morerecommendation of a staff member at our child care center. Lazy Daisy staff was helpful, patient, and kind! Party room was spacious and cheery, and not fancy, so no worries about what young kids might do in the space. Plenty of tables and chairs for a group of 10 kids plus parents--had two sets of tables so we could do ceramics on one, have extra activities (paper crowns to decorate, coloring pads, blank cards, fossil excavation kit) on the other for those who finished painting early, and then could have cake at the first table once the ceramics were cleared away. They let us store our ice cream cake from Kirt's in their freezer till it was time, and even helped us find plates and forks, which we forgot to pack. (Fortunately there is a nearby gas station with sundries.) They are a small business, so cash/check is preferred (wish I had remembered to bring a checkbook). We did a "test run" painting some small items in the drop-in studio with the two birthday celebrants a week before the party, which worked well so they felt familiar with the venue and activity--if you can manage it I'd recommend that too. In theory the room can handle up to 50, but I'd say our group of ~25 was perfect for the space. Would warmly recommend this place to any parents seeking alternatives to Little Gym, Carver Rec, and Discovery Museum birthday parties for this age group!

The staff is always friendly and helpul. I like the member discounts too. I'd go with five stars for Plaza but for two li'l reasons I'll stick with 4: - they don't stock Staedler graphite pencils, and I just can't do General graphites. - some of the colors of Holbein gouache paint have been out of stock for a while. In all fairness, this might be because these Holbeins aren't currently available from Plaza's distributor. But I keep coming back!

For professional artists, this store has everything you could ever want but I found the store just as enchanting as a casual browser. I especially loved all the unique craft kits that allow children to make everything from mini food to erasers to galaxies. As a stationary lover, I was impressed with their Japanese notebook and pen selection, as well as cute kawaii accessories like a leather cat pencil case which is now my daughter's most treasured possession. The store was clean and the workers were friendly. I'll definitely be back the next time I am in the area!
