First time at Art & Craft Workshop! Went with a group of 4 for the Mosaic Lamp 2 hour workshop…read more Great experience besides the minor bumps. Contacting via email with the team was seamless when asking for a discounted price and ensuring our reservation was confirmed. Going in meeting our instructor, Jamie, was great. She was very chill & let our creativity speak. She was very helpful when it came to teaching and explaining. Her lamps were super cute ! The lamp making itself is worth the cost, you come out with a beautiful piece of art that you created. Once you turn the light on the design looks amazing, even if you originally think differently ! As for the minor improvements. We had to call to figure out how to get in. They said they we should have gotten an email about how to enter, but we did not. The other party that came in also didn't get instructions. So we walked the whole square. Entrance will be the gate closest to the main parking lot, on your right. Ask the staff for the code before going in. Also, DO NOT park in that parking lot or you will be towed. The signs were so small, we didn't know but Jamie informed us. Plenty of street parking ! Last, no Turkish coffee or sweets were offered though it said they were on the website. Not a huge deal breaker, but just don't advertise it. Other than that, great experience. Would come back to try a different craft event !!!

It is a little challenging to find the actual store as it's inside a building with multiple…read morebusinesses. I would recommend to give yourself extra time. To locate the store. I came in at 5pm for the moss class and when we arrived the instructor was a little confused since her boss didn't notify here that we were arriving so she wasent prepared for our class. Despite this she was still super accommodating and was able to let us do our class still after waiting about 15min for her to set up. The moss art was a fun idea but I do wish they had more variety of moss and things to place. Not sure if it was because they weren't prepared for our class and didn't have all the materials or if materials are always this limited. With the limited about of material it felt pretty restricting to what you can create. Our working area was also had pretty limited lighting. They also only had power on once side of the table. We did our class with another couple so there as 4 of us total. With only having power one 1 side of the table 2 people had to glue there items on a chair and couldn't work from the table.

Yesterday, my friends and I came to craft some perler beads for my birthday. We were kindly greeted…read moreand got started right away. The instructor was very helpful and got us situated. The explanation was easy to understand and the tools were cute. The pricing goes either by hour or by board, whichever is lesser. We opted for two small boards and one medium board. There is a wide variety of colors for selection as well as different transparencies. Since we were new to perler beads, our start was a little slow but eventually we got the hang of it. At one point, I reached a dilemma. I wanted to make Momonga but she wouldn't fit in the remaining space of my board. Just then, the instructor came by and chatted with me. I told her my dilemma and after a brief moment, she suggested making the tail in the empty corner of my board and later attach it by jump ring. Brilliant. I noticed she often checked up on people's projects, answered questions, and chatted with them about the characters they were making (both for my group and the tufting group behind us). She dropped by to show me the perler Momonga her coworker made (very cute!). Later, she came back excited, and showed me another idea I could use for Momonga's tail. She showed me a pivot attachment that would make it so the tail would be attached in the back and swing around. She asked if I wanted to try this instead. Yes thank you, it's absolutely perfect!! I wish I got the instructor's name but I was too shy to ask at the end (agh). She was so kind, helpful, and relatable. She really made my crafting experience great and I'm so happy to have had her on my birthday!!

Just a very chill vibe to get your creativity juices flowing. My friends had signed up for a rug…read moretufting session, but we also saw some people assembling tiny beads together into an image. They let me stick around even though I hadn't signed up, so I just took pictures of the process. For the tufting session, you pick a flat image of what you want to make ahead of time. The instructor then will give advice on how to go about putting together your creation. After that, you link the image to the projector and it projects onto your canvas. You then outline the image. Then comes the fun part: the tufting tutorial. The instructor spends about thirty minutes teaching everyone how to use the tufting gun and then has each person practice on a large canvas. After that, you pick your yarn color and tuft away! Apparently, it took four hours for my friends to complete their tufted rugs, but they turned out so cute! They even stayed open past closing hours to let my friends finish. We need more artistic spaces like this.

This was a lot of fun, I took my family to try out this ceramic painting lounge. They had a blast,…read moreand we came back with some fun art pieces to add to our home. The process is fairly simple, you go in and pick your ceramic pieces to paint. Each ceramic piece has a different cost, and then there is a fee charged on top of that per painter. You get unlimited paints and tools to use, as well as unlimited time for painting. When you are done, you leave it with the front desk to fire up and pick up the finished result several days later. Would totally come here again for date night, girls night, or just a family activity. It is very group friendly. You can also come here solo if you've got some down time.

There were a couple other parties with young children and she was so patient and cheerful. Her energy and positivity made our visit extra memorable, thank you Monica! When we arrived, because we were new the staff helped show us around, and explained the process. The area itself is super cute and cozy, with seating by the windows as well as large tables for bigger parties. We were able to pick up our pieces about 5 days later? And the staff were super nice and helpful then as well! I'm in love with how the finished pieces turned out after firing. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, they had some music playing and everything was neat and organized. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're ever looking for something creative to do!

[Hand Building Class prior to pickup]…read more Bought a Groupon for wife & I to try something new. My mistake for misunderstanding that this would not be the pottery wheel (not reflected in rating). Elena was our instructor & she was extremely knowledgeable, patient, understanding of our levels. Gave everyone equal attention (group of 4). Clear demo of how to mold from clay ball & clay plate. The first 20-30min was the demo & we wish that it could've been interactive 'follow along' exercise. Great way to get your hands working & molding. I made a nameplate for the dog + a ramen bowl w/ recessed chopstick holder. Looking forward to pickup experience estimated 1mo. Fun & would go again for the wheel class.

We attended the ice cube pop bean workshop, where we created little platforms made of ice cubes with cute little figurines on top. The workshop was very affordable given the amount of time we were there for and the variety of decorations we could choose from. The workshop instructor (also one of the owners) walked us through a concise tutorial on how to create our little creations. Picking out the colors of cubes and the figurines was the funnest part. Would highly recommend anyone who loves arts and crafts to stop by this studio!

From the moment we walked in Lea warmly welcomed us and showed us all of the available creative art projects, and there were many. My grand daughter decided on Pop into Fun with Ice Cubes and I chose to bead a bracelet. We were able to choose from thousands of Ice Cubes and accompanying decorations, and the the same for the beads. Lea was constantly there assisting and guiding us as we made our choices and created. I would so highly recommend Momo DIY for a few hours of pure joy to individuals, groups of friends, birthday parties for any age, and corporate team building events. I would give Lea and Momo 10 stars, if possible! Carol

Not only is everything very well-priced and affordable, but the staff are more than willing to work with you if you have questions! Their pricing is also super transparent, with notes posted around the shop so it's easy to buy even when on a budget. Not only have they begun to recognize me, but when I came in for the Valko event, they were kind enough to notify me that they had new items to decorate on top of their already huge selection, which made choosing just one project so hard! If you have the time in your session, I'd recommend more than one. The staff here are SUPER kind and welcoming, and truly try their best to make this place a hub for the community (especially for Love and DeepSpace players) and I couldn't recommend them more! Even outside of events, this is a perfect place to learn new crafting skills and just take a moment to be in the moment. TL;DR: This place is amazing! 20/10 recommend for a good crafting space!

Everything was so crazy expensive!! Every DIY project was $30 - $55 on the list. It was absurd a small trinket box was over $30. The hair claws, hair clips, and headband, which are in the $20 range are unavailable. Even the stickers had to brought in a set. I couldn't even purchase one sticker!! They really push you to spent as much as money as possible here. I came to have a good time after the character cancellation, but like Infold, I was severely disappointed with them. I wish they could do better at least lol. Even the pens to write down the notes to Valko wasn't working well.

I stopped by Michael's after lunch. It's been a long time since I've shopped here…read more They had some Christmas stuff left, on clearance. They did have Valentines items. They had heart shaped silicon molds for making cupcakes, stickers, gift bags and decor. They also had valentine hair accessories. I found a cute hair clip that I wanted to purchase. All the valentines items were 40% off, which was a great deal. There was a small section of St. Patrick's Day items, as well. At the checkout you have the option for self checkout or checkout with an employee. There was a customer being helped at a register and two were checking out at the self checkout. An employee directed me to an available self checkout which worked out great. I was in and out of there within 15 minutes total. I really love that they offer self checkout. I remember in the past when you'd have to wait in a crazy long line with only two registers open. The self checkout eliminates this long wait. It makes the shopping experience so much better.

This review is specifically for their custom framing department…read more My husband and I got married in New Orleans and purchased a print by a local artist during our wedding weekend. I finally got around to framing it and went to the Michaels location off Coleman. I was thinking that I could get a frame off their shelves, but I quickly realized that the poster had uncommon dimensions. I had no choice but to get a custom frame for it. I was assisted by a young gentleman, who was very friendly and helpful. I'm the worst when it comes to making decisions. I have to analyze every little thing, and then I get stuck in analysis paralysis. The associate was so patient with me, and he didn't rush me through the process. I also feel like he didn't limit me on variations of frame colors and matboard. He brought out everything to ensure that I had considered all my options. I relied heavily on his guidance and settled on an elegant thin silver frame with a blue mat. I called Michael's a week after the expected due date and was informed that it would be ready the following day. I was glad to see that the gentleman who helped me with my custom frame was the same person checking out my product. He carefully laid the framed print out, and I was stunned by how amazingly cohesive the frame and matting looked with the overall print. It was honestly perfect. This was my first custom frame job EVER - not just from Michael's. I was so pleased with their customer care and execution that I would not hesitate to go to Michaels Coleman custom framers!

The staff walked me through the tufting process and showed me examples of how to tuft properly and efficiently. I even carried a can of Diet Coke to the session as inspiration for my mini rug. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, and they helped trim and flatten the rug at the end. I also got to make a picture frame using decoden art - picking out my favorite charms and decorating the frame one by one. As you can tell, I chose food- and toy-themed charms to reflect my hobbies. It's such a great idea for date nights, birthday parties, team-building events, or family activities. Especially if you've never tried it before, it's easy to pick up and a lot of fun!

It took us some time to learn how to use the tufting guns properly and it felt like they were understaffed. It would've been nice to have more guidance throughout the process, like if we had any questions we had to wait a very long time for a staff member to be available to help. The seating for tufting is also very close together and it can get a little cramped. But as I mentioned earlier, we were very happy with our finished rugs. After we finished tufting, it took them about an hour to finish them off and we were able to take them home the same day. We also did decoden, which was fun! I was impressed by the charm collection, but it was very hard to find letter charms since they were all mixed up and scarce. Overall, the crafts turned out great, just disappointed by the service. I understand that it was a weekend evening and it wasn't the staff's fault, they were all very kind and understanding. Just understaffed! With tufting especially, having more staff available to help throughout the process if needed would make this experience much more enjoyable.
