But the best part is working with the materials yourself--Veronica explained everything clearly and showed us how to cut the glass, and her gentle and friendly demeanor made me feel much more confident in trying something new. My finished piece is stunning, and all of my friends are so impressed at what I made in just a single morning!

This past weekend, my aunt treated me to a birthday surprise where we got to create a stained glass…read morepiece; this particular one was called a hanging garden. First off, let me say about how neat it would be to live and work in this neck of the woods & the grounds are super appealing with all its unique decor. Veronica runs the show here and has such a premier craft workshop. If you enjoy crafting and dream of a craft room in your house, then you visit Frog Valley...you will go home to ask your significant other for a craft house like Veronica. It was easy to set up a time for a 2 hour class, pretty easy to make a day trip to Berkeley Springs from an hour away. We got food before & after and the class was full with 3 people and an assistant. I was nervous for one particular part of my design but a.) it's easy if you don't over think and b.) everyone helps to make it come together. Everyone was so nice, down to earth and it was a pretty chill zone. The temp was comfortable and music was on and afterward there is a chance to shop. Highly recommend and will come back. I wish WISHHHHH we had anything remotely close to this in Cumberland.

Howard's has been around a long time--how long? I don't know, but I remember it being there when I…read morewas a kid and that was when the Beatles were still a going concern. That's part of what makes it great--it's a real throwback in that it has art supplies of all kinds--things you handle and touch, things that will allow you to express yourself without interfacing with any sort of technology. That's a good thing. They have all the latest art supplies for any project you may have, but also still have some things you won't see elsewhere: sign painters paints and brushes (they're positively lush!) and maybe even some drafting and lettering stock. Back in the 70's I lusted after Letraset sheets to make 'zines, and last time I was at Howard's they even had some of them! Plus everything else, of course. They also do high quality framing, are eager to listen and if needed, offer guidance for your framing project. We've had a number of things framed here and it's always been a very good experience. Howard's is a throwback in all the best ways. It's a cozy store with everything you might need. The staff are personable, laid back and helpful when help is required. Can't say enough good things about them. Check them out.

She offers lessons in both wheel and slab, studio rental time, as well as per item kiln firings. I highly recommend this little gem!

The stone steps led to an art gallery featuring Bill, Lori, and Jeanette Gregory. Bill and Lori takes wonderful scenic photography and make wonderful stone sculptures for placing in and outside of the house - Jeannette is the master stuffed teddy bear creator. If you are into scenic photography, this place is for you. The stone sculptures were amazing, and my favorites were the heart-shaped ones, the cutting of the 'rock' bread, the bunnies, as well as the figurines on logs. We plan on purchasing these to decorate our lawn. There were also log stools that I found to be oh-so-neat! You can also see more of the sculpture masterpieces outside of the gallery, the trail winding around the front of the place. Jeanette's stuffed bears were pretty impressive - she showed me an album of all of her creations and of her work; I found it so cool that people can provide her the fabric (someone's t-shirt, jeans, favorite quilts/blankets, fur coats, etc.) - she can use these in order to create a memory in a bear form - she uses high-grade polyester for the filling as well as high-quality acrylic eyes. You can also request clothes for the bears and any other customizing you want. The bears range in sizes, so you can pretty much request whatever. I thought that this was so neat, so it would be a wonderful and a personal present for the young and old alike. They also have a cute dog named Tink who was extremely precious and sweet. This gallery is definitely a treat to stop by to chit chat with the ever so sweet Bill, Lori, and Jeanette; be sure to check out their work - I am all about supporting local artists! You will not be disappointed, and your house will definitely have that something special with their impressive creative rock sculptures! +stone sculptures! +Jeanette's customized bears +ask for Bill, Lori, and Jeanette
