We recently commissioned Mike to do a large original natural history piece for a major university…read moremuseum. Natural history art is one of the most challenging projects as the interpretation of anatomy and environments must not only look good but must also be scientifically accurate. The work Mike produced is absolutely incredible! My expectations are far exceeded. The process was so much easier than expected. Great communication, extremely high quality work, and the price was very reasonable. The work was so good we immediately commissioned a second piece and enjoyed an equally great experience! Mike is reliable, produces the highest quality work, and is an absolute pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended!

A lot of options were provided, attention to detail was very apparent, and they also took the time to explain their rationale behind decisions (such as museum glass and different frames that accent photos). I am so happy with the final product. I will most definitely use Artistic Indulgence in the future again.

The scheduling was a bit confusing but after we input the amount (it was set up as choose how much $ you'd like to support the studio with), we showed up and were delighted to find a clean workspace for both of us and a pound of clay. Tools were provided and there was a class that was getting taught how to make pinch bowls. At the end the instructor took care of collecting the piece and firing it and we input the info in a QR code to pick it up later after it was fired. Everything was provided and we had a great date night at an affordable price. Pieces take a couple weeks to pick up. We will be back again!

Epic Suckfest. Two…read morecomplaints: 1) We were lied to, mislead, and railroaded from start to finish. In the end (4 WEEKS LATER) we got a mediocre frame job at an absurdly high cost. When we questioned them about the gash in the side of the frame, we were accused of putting it there ourselves - while we stood there. No discount was offered or applied. 2) Heads-up: Employees and family members are pressured into posting positive reviews because regular customers DO NOT. In the future, we will use one of the many other local frame shops.

I took a group class at Northern Clay center and it was amazing! We had 11 brand new students…read morelearning about throwing pottery for the first time (so we all needed individual attention) and the instructor was so friendly and able to help us all! I thought maybe we would each make one piece, but we each got to make 4 or 5 bowl-like objects (you got to pick) and to paint them. We also used the break room to order food, since pottery in the morning was hungry work. Northern Clay is giant inside- I had not idea looking at it from the street. There is a parking lot right by the building, so you don't have to worry about street parking. We had a great time, and will be back to pick up or art in 3 weeks! I definitely recommend the group classes or private parties, which came out to ~$50 per person.

I came here to buy a couple gifts and was not disappointed. I'd browsed some of their selection…read moreonline and saw all the pieces they'd advertised on display in their showroom. The pottery is grouped by artist, which made it easy to limit my browsing to only the styles I liked. I will note that (at least on the day I visited) they very heavily feature artists whose style is natural and rustic, which isn't bad, but for the prices they charge I was looking for something more sophisticated. I know all pottery takes a lot of work, but I'm not going to spend $80 on a misshapen mug. The items do focus pretty heavily on dishes and cups/mugs, which made gift shopping a little difficult, since I wasn't about to buy a surprise dinnerware set for someone. The person manning the front desk was very helpful and brought out more pieces from the back room of artists I liked. She was also able to share with me which pieces were and were not dishwasher safe. I left with a good selection of gifts and would definitely come back again.
