I went here this past Saturday for an event. It was anything short of a disaster. The owner,…read moreKrystal, was probably the most unprofessional business owner I've ever met. She had her baby on the hip the entire event, which was alarming for a workshop where you can literally get hurt anywhere you turn. At one point, she had the baby in a walker and he was just walking around hitting into things and I almost tripped over him... I couldn't believe it honestly. Something could've fallen on him and it wasn't like this was a last minute event. This was planned way ahead of time where she could've found child care coverage for the day, it was no excuse. She was extremely rude to the children and parents alike, I was really taken back. I signed up beforehand on the website and when it was time to make the craft, my daughters name wasn't on the list. She shoved the list in my face and said "you didn't sign up!" I said "I know for a fact I signed up because I sat down with my daughter and I let her pick out exactly what craft she wanted". She then shoved the list back in my face and said "no you didn't, she's not on the list!" My daughter is 5, you're a business owner, it's a simple fix, what's with the attitude? My husband and I were strongly thinking about doing an event together there to make something. We would never go now after this. The crafts are extremely expensive too, not worth it.

My friend and I had a hankering to do something creative and to have a little "girls" afternoon…read more She had been here last summer, and suggested it. Looking over the website I was a bit hesitant as I saw the prices. I thought..."This seems a bit pricey...I'm not sure..." But I threw caution to the wind and decided, what the heck. You pick your date that you want to come to the workshop and you pick your project as well as the design. Upon arrival, your wood pieces are there for you as well as the stencils for your chosen design. You are provided a color sheet that has the paint colors, as well as the wood stain colors. There are a ton of examples on the walls too, as well as samples of different wood staining techniques. Ethan was helping out today and I have to say - I am not sure if our experience would have been as enjoyable if not for him. He was simply AMAZING. So kind, warm, engaging and helpful. He didn't mind when I picked out 5,3492 colors for my wood tray project. If I came back here, I'd want him to be working again. Anyways, I am not going to bore you with the step by step process but the three hours allotted kinda flew by. Depending on your project and the design/colors you pick, you will see why. In my tray with the art supplies, I wanted certain supplies to be "true" to real life and used multiple colors for a single item and this of course took time. The process is fun, easy and even for those who claim "they can't draw" or "they aren't creative" I call malarky - this is a place where you will absolutely have success and have a true one of a kind creation that you have made, and that you didn't purchase from Home Goods or something of the like. Head on down here for the afternoon with a friend or significant other and you are sure to have fun and get those creative juices flowing.

Glorious Glass is an AMAZING place with AMAZING people! I have never seen a concept like…read moreGlorious Glass. We had a party to celebrate everyone's 50th birthdays. This was no painting party, this was no craft party, it was truly something different! It is for all levels of creativity; From not a creative bone in your body to the most creative designer. We all made beautiful creations and had such a ball, we could have stayed for hours more! Anna served devious food and was beyond a gracious host. I was in awe of the behind the scenes effort and thoughtfulness of prepping the canvases, gathering the glass, materials, and the applying the finishing coat. Whenever one us got stuck creatively, Anna and her staff were right there to help and offer suggestions You have got to experience the process first hand. You will marvel at the Art work Anna has created. A spectacular party! We will all be back!

Scott was super easy to talk to, took time to explain options, and made the whole process feel straightforward instead of overwhelming. What we appreciated most was how genuine everything felt. It was not just drop something off and pick it up later. We actually had some solid conversations about business, music, and creativity while working through the project which made it feel more personal than transactional. The final frame came out exactly how we pictured it. Clean work, great communication, and just good people to deal with. Definitely planning to come back for future projects.

Another perfect framing job from owner, Scott. I can't thank you enough for the care and expertise…read moreyou put into two pictures of my grandmothers original dress designs from the 1950's.

A truly professional job and your expertise is priceless. I highly recommend Scott and his fantastic business. Thank you! Lisa C. New York, NY

I recently started learning cross stitch, and am always open to leaning new things. I saw the pretty needlecraft artwork in the window and decided to check it out. When walking in one woman asked if I needed help. I basically said the above. One of them barked "this isn't cross stitch". I said I know, my mother used to do needlepoint and I'm open to new things. She then proceeded to tell me (in quite a snotty tone) "I'm sure this isn't your mother's needlepoint either". Fine. You'll never get my business. I think the other woman might have tried to save herself by starting to tell me everything was hand painted. I was so turned off I told my husband let's go, and we walked out. Don't make judgements and be nasty to potential customers. Obviously they don't care if someone new might have been willing to spend money in their pricey shop. What a disappointing experience.
