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.

When visiting Minneapolis, a friend recommended a glass shop I just had to check out. I love…read moreworking with glass and my current obsession is flameworking. Malcom Potek, the owner, really knows his craft. He has been a flameworker for years and now focuses mostly on fusing and stained glass. He gave me a tour of the shop, which is filled with every type of glass and tool you could want. We even discovered we had friends in common. This place is a true find, and I highly recommend Potek Glass if you are interested in any kind of glass hobby. I only wish I lived closer.

A cute little quilt shop along downtown Main Street in Anoka. I was in the area for an event and…read morehad some extra time so I decided to stop in and take a peek. The shop feels breezy-- large windows on a corner lot lends a lot of natural lighting and the aisles are wide for ease of shopping. They carry plenty of cotton prints, but I noticed they also have a good selection of minky fabric in many colors. They also have batting, pattern guides, and cutting mats/blocks. Pricing was standard for an independent quilt shop at around $13-15 per yard for cotton and $25 for minky. I was greeted in a friendly manner by an employee when I entered who said to let them know if I needed assistance. They also helped me checkout ahead of someone else who needed the cut counter (I did not). I can see myself stopping in if I'm ever back in the area. :)

We created our art surrounded by her beautiful and inspiring works and in the presence of her incredible kindness. You will not find a better way to build team connection.
