She and Theresa were incredible instructors--so patient, encouraging, and always willing to help. The energy in the studio was amazing. You could tell that everyone genuinely loved working there and wasn't just showing up for a paycheck. That kind of atmosphere made the experience even more special. Thank you again to Sonia, Theresa, and all the wonderful ladies for making our first stained glass class such a memorable one.

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!

I recently had the pleasure of attending an introductory throwing class at the Mud Studio, and I…read morecan genuinely say it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed in a warm and creative atmosphere. Our instructor, Crystal, was a standout part of the experience. She was not only friendly but also incredibly informative and knowledgeable about pottery and the throwing process. Crystal took the time to explain each step clearly, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and confident at the wheel. Her enthusiasm for the craft really shone through, making the class both engaging and inspiring. The hands on experience of throwing clay was nothing short of magical. I loved getting my hands dirty and experimenting with different techniques under Crystal's guidance. The supportive environment encouraged creativity, and I left feeling proud of what I had created. I can't wait to return for another class! If you're considering trying pottery, I highly recommend the Mud Studio. It's a fantastic place to learn, create, and have fun. I'm looking forward to my next session!

They have great items in the front of their store as well for a quick bouquet to go. I love how the inside is very bright with lots of room. It feels airy and modern, but also like you are in a farmhouse flower-shop. It was pretty busy on Saturday, but definitely plenty of spots to make your own bouquets.

My mother-in-law and I took a flower arranging class with Vintage and we had such a wonderful time…read more I did have an initial hiccup of not being able to find the place (they moved recently so they weren't yet listed on the directory for the area), but luckily the owners saw me wandering around and led me to their studio. It's small but beautifully furnished with an intimate class setup around a standing table. I was pretty apprehensive about the class as I consider myself "artistically challenged" but Ashley's guidance resulted in a beautiful end product that I was proud to display in my home. She was so encouraging and engaging that she put us all totally at ease as she walked us through the steps to build a bouquet. What I really enjoyed was that even though we all followed the same general structure, each flower bucket was slightly different (all the same flowers but different amounts/styles of cutting) so there was no way that any two bouquets would look alike. It was a great hour and a half with fabulous, friendly coaching and conversation and I would not hesitate to do a class again. Highly recommended as a unique date, day out, or gift for someone special. Note that they have transitioned from their large space along the main thoroughfare at Pearl; they are focusing on events now so they no longer function as a retail space.

Glen and Ruth are super cool! They explained everything in layman's terms (or "explained like I'm…read morefive years old" as I like to say) and were with us every step of the way. I had done glass blowing previously while on a cruise and wanted to try a local place. I figured a glass blowing experience would be a fun Christmas gift for two of my closest female friends who had never done it before. We all really enjoyed ourselves and are planning our next visit. If you're looking for something a little different to gift someone, get out of your comfort zone and consider booking with Caliente. Thanks, Ruth & Glen!

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.

**BEWARE THIS PLACE IS A SCAM**…read more Go somewhere else for painting pottery! The ceramics are expensive with most pieces being between $32-$48, all with "Made in China" labels. However, there is no paint or kiln cost it's all included with the price of the ceramic so it makes sense that it is on the higher side. But with the cost of paint included we watched the employee ADD WATER into the paint bottles there. Then when I went to use the black paint it was so watery that it bled onto my other designs. I mean it's ceramic paint, not water color. When I told the girl working she said her boss added too much water to the black paint. My mom asked for the name of her boss and the girl said Videria but not sure how to spell it but didn't want to give her name. When I asked what to do about my piece because I had just spent hours working on it to have black paint run on it, she asked what I wanted her to do about it. I mean I feel like if you work at a pottery shop you should know how to wipe off paint or fix something if it gets messed up. My brother was working on a larger piece and on his second coat of paint when she came over and told him less goes farther. And took his paint away to bring him back a little amount. I'm not sure that treating people this way and diluting paints is the best way to run a paint pottery shop. If a boss or owner wants to reach out with their contact info my mom has a photo of the girl. At the end we spent $140 for four small ceramics and had inattentive service, and saw how slimy a business this place really is.

I visited this store on a trip to San Antonio almost a year ago and was excited to find a bunch of…read moreprotein bars / snacks that I had never seen before. Since then, I have moved to San Antonio and am a regular at this store. This location of Cost Plus Nutrition has very friendly staff (talk to Hank or Jacob) and they're always happy to help you find the product for your needs. They have a great selection of products and carry a good range of local specialty products to your usual bars like the Quest/ One Brands. My favorite thing about this store though is your ability to find a new/ tasty protein snack here- they're always finding things that are new to the market and that taste great (Alpha Prime Brownies, Legendary Tasty Cakes, Etc) before they become mainstream. Only issues with this store is that the company is smaller so they don't have a ton of inventory and are often sold out of the product you go in looking for and they have to order it. Also, they are sometimes a bit higher in price than other stores because they're small but they're always happy to understand where they can do better (I've never left dissatisfied). Overall, this is a good store with fun products and nice staff- visit them!
