The staff were attentive and friendly, walking around to each table to check on each person and guide them along the process. The work areas were large and it was nice sound with others to guide and help each other also. There really wasn't an overall explanation on how to do the monogram on the box so we struggled with this until a staff member came by and guided us on the process but by then all but 1 monogram was on a box. Wish there would have been just a bit more overall instructions on this is how we put on and take off the monogram. Overall the experience was lovely and I think everyone really enjoyed it. Great place to have a party or come take part in a workshop.

This was a neat little craft workshop I'd never heard of. Came here for a kids birthday party and…read moreit was setup nicely and executed well. Walking in, it looks messy, but hey, it's a workshop so it should be messy looking! A clean workshop isn't a workshop...lol. They had ewctangular tables lined up through the shop that accommodated like 8 people a piece. They setup supplies and everything the kids would need to build, personlaize, and paint their wooden boxes. They walked everyone through the process at the same time and took the time to check on everyone during the process. They allowed us to bring in food and drinks for the party so their was a mixture of home made and store bought stuff. As far as I could tell, the kids all enjoyed it and so did the parents who also participated. It was definitely a neat experience and something thatwould be fun for younger families and maybe even a corporate outing or something similar. If you;'re looking for a unique party or activity, this might just fit the bill.

Spent a day creating my first mosaic piece at Breakables. I was pleased with the final product…read more They have a wide array of tiles and pieces, provide the glue, the item to receive the tile pieces and good space to work (little heat on cold days). It's nice it's next to a tea store so you can sip while you work. I thought I'd be finished in an hour but we were there over 3. Initially I thought the prices were high, starting at about $32 for smaller sized things, but after seeing the work, time and tiles involved, it's more than fair. I would have liked for it to be staffed with a helpful person with tiling experience, but the clerk from Picasso's ceramic painting café ran back and forth checking on us and couldn't have been nicer. We were largely on our own, after a brief demo on how to cut tiles. (Needy people and children will perhaps not like the set-up/independence required.) They send you home with a bag of grout to finish it 24 hours after the glue sets. Inventory for tile boards was scant. The finished models showed you what finished products looked like but were not available to make. They had some mosaics on Lucite and had an area for making candles. It was a good first experience. I love the whole artist enclave vibe of the strip of stores here.

I wandered into this creative co-op during the Caladium Festival and I was impressed by the…read moreartistic talent that was showcased. The Caladium Arts and Crafts Co-Op is a non profit that was created in 1992 by three Lake Placid Artists: Carol Mills, Harriet Porter, and Suellen Robinson. The ladies wanted to create a place for local artists and crafters to display and market their creations to the public. The store is like Etsy shop that you can walk around in person. Artists join the co-op so they can sell their creations. There are approximately 50 artists selling painted furniture, crochet blankets, tote bags, wreaths, trinket boxes, tea towels, note cards, jewelry, aprons, glasses, holiday decorations, faux floral arrangements, Christmas ornaments, art work for the wall, and more. I especially loved the delicate caladium earrings which were perfect for the festival. Everyone who was working was so kind and warm to me and the prices were more than fair for such skilled handiwork in the mediums of wood, textiles, glass, canvas, and metal. In addition to selling the work of artists, the co-op also has a room in the back that offers a variety of classes. You can view the current offerings on Facebook. A recent project was a rope bowl. If I lived locally I would be a regular visitor to this inspirational and welcoming space.

There is quite a bit to remember, so pay attention so you can explain it to your littles as you go. They had a great selection of pottery to choose from with a good mix of prices. There is a $10 studio charge in addition to the cost of the pottery to cover the materials and studio time, but there's no limit to how long you can spend painting, which I appreciated! When you're done, you leave the pottery there so they can fire it. They said it takes about 3-5 days to complete it. I'm excited to see how ours turn out! We had a great time, and my niece is dying to go paint more pottery!
