This is a 2 day market held 3 times a year. WOW was it busy. Cars were lined all the way down the…read morestreet to the entrance of the huge parking lot. Crazy. The venders were great. So much to drool over. So much!! I will have to save some for next year and spoil myself with some really neat finds. There are lots of different styles and types of things being sold. Things for children and adults. Unique items and antique items. Some true artisans making fabulous items. Expect to pay for them. There were original painted and sculpted pieces going for hundreds of dollars. And then little vintage tins for 50 cents. One range to another price wise. I loved some things that I wish I could have gotten. There were food trucks INSIDE the sports complex and coffee and popcorn and more. It was really fun for me, but I love looking at all the different and unique items. Everyone there seemed to enjoy it and were walking with bags!!! All a good sign that the venders did well. There was an Old Fashion candle I now wish I had bought. Can't stop thinking about the smell. Ahhhhhh! I plan to go again.

Held at the Franklin Sports Complex, the space is large and parking lot was full when we arrived just after 10am. There's a small entry fee, but it was well worth it to access all of these creative vendors in one space. With 150 vendors, it's impossible to list everything that's available but a short list might be: handmade soaps and candles, jewelry, paintings, postcards & magnets, upcycled wine bottle candles and glasses, repurposed metal and wood art, salvaged antiques, creative air plant displays, and much more. There's a good mix of vendors to please the young and old. My parents and I both found things to fit our tastes. There's plenty of Wisconsin love and local sports team products to check off anyone on your Christmas list. While we missed the consignment area in the front, there are hourly raffles that are free- so put your name in to win some of the objects on sale in the hall. There's a small amount of food offerings, which could be expanded! We didn't see that there were beer and Mimosas until we were leaving. That might have loosened our wallets! Looks like this event happens again January 28-29, 2017, in April, and perhaps again in November. So check their website or 88.9 Radio Milwaukee or WMSE for announcements.

What a neat idea for making abstract art! We tried the paint fluid art and Marian taught the…read moredifferent types of fluid paint pouring techniques before we got into the action of pouring. She was super helpful and patient with us while we tried to pick what technique we wanted. They also offer all sorts of art and crafts you want to try. Great ace to make your own art and gift them to friends and family or for yourself! We used a Groupon for the base canvas that came with the 10"x20" size. Resin was $25 extra, which I think would be worth it!

We walked in and we waited around for maybe 10 minutes before we were helped. Staff was friendly and it's a great activity for when it's raining out or if you're feeling crafty.

I recently went to Arte in Wauwatosa for a canvas painting class and had an awesome experience…read more(this was my first), so when we booked a group night to paint wine glasses, I was expecting the same type of business. Friendly, funny, interactive, and most of all helpful. This experience was anything but that. We were with a group of 13 women, ranging from 22 to about 80 for an after wedding shower party. We all sat down, and the "instructor" had set out pictures of examples and told us to go ahead when we were ready. She gave us zero instruction. As we all thought we were going to be following a step by step, which would be great because 99% of us had never done this before and had no idea what we were doing. The instructor said if we need help to ask. She didn't walk around and offer suggestions, her and her other partner barely interacted with us. If I would have known this was going to be the case, I would have hosted the party in my living room and saved us all $35. When we sit down with freelance to do whatever we wanted, no help or instruction, it seemed pointless to be there. Sorry, but this was a joke of a business. I will definitely not be returning.

Cindy and Ann were awesome. We came here with a bachelorette party. They have a million designs and…read morewhen I was looking for a specific design to make they helped make it so that I was happy. It took about 3 hours and they help you as much or as little as you want with the signs. They have beer, wine, seltzer, soda, and water to buy.

We made an appointment ahead of time and as soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by a lovely woman who spent good time explaining to us just how to safely work with glass, and not get cut or hurt in any way. The instructions are very in depth but necessary. When is was time to start the creative process, my granddaughter knew just what she wanted to create and loved selecting all the parts to make it just as she wanted. Start to finish was about 190 minutes, but it could be faster or slower, depending on how your creative juices flow. In the end she was thrilled with her project and we sprayed it to keep it in position for the transfer to the kilns. In 7-10 days I will return and pick up the final project. Our final cost for a 6" square art piece came to $40. We can't wait! The cost is not super cheap, but you know exactly what you are paying before you start. The supplies are endless and we plan to return for other activities as soon as possible. We saw entire families enjoying themselves, and this is a great activity to do with all ages, young children to adults. The options for art projects are: Paint Your Own Pottery, Glass Fusing, Acrylic Paint Projects and Board Art. The Clay Hand Building is now offered only in a class session. Stop in and take look. Then make an appointment for some really nice fun.

We decided on Christmas tree ornaments. Morgan got all our working tools and was very thorough in explaining how to cut the glass and told us if we needed any further help she would be happy to help. We then were able to create at our own will and speed. It was a Friday night at the end of the day and we were told to take our time and not feel rushed. You can order drinks to enjoy. The atmosphere was so comfortable and warm. You could paint or do pottery. So many things. I think we just started our new tradition to make a new ornament yearly. We had booked some open creating time. But you can register for any of the classes they offer as well. We will definitely be back. Everyone was helpful and kind. Can't say enough good things about the whole process from start to finish. Took about 7 days to have the project fired and ready for us to pick up. Our ornaments are beautiful on our tree.
