You get to choose your color from a list and note it when you register on their website. It was $85 before tax and came with 5 skeins of yarn, with the option to add more (I think for an additional $15). I also put in the notes on my registration the names of my friends so that we could sit together. The workshop was at 6pm on a Friday and lasted about two hours. There was my group of three and three others, plus the owner/instructor Lauren. Her instructions were easy to follow, and she would jump in if we needed help. I made a few errors, and she was able to fix them for me. I ended up making my loops too loose on the outside and too tight on the inside, so my blanket came out a bit small. But I think it was decent for my first attempt. It's so soft. I keep it on my couch to use as a lap blanket. We all had a great time and would definitely come back to try other workshops. My coworker had tried one of the resin workshops and really liked it too.

10/10 I LOVED this class. The instructors teaching it were hilarious, and very personable!…read more It was a lot more work than expected, and took some time understanding the process, but they really made the experience so much fun. You get to make as many as you want within the allotted time then choose your top 3 faves. Like the instructor said, be in charge of the clay, and get rid of it if the relationship gets toxic. Also don't let the clay push you around!

Wow, wow, wow! I will definitely be coming back to this place again. I bought two spots for their…read moreSip and Spin class for my mom's birthday, and we had a blast! The demo portion of the class was a little hard to remember at first, but the instructors were so nice and came around to help us step by step, ensuring our pottery pieces came out perfect. I also really appreciated how kind and patient the staff was with both me and my mom. We truly had the full pottery experience and were given plenty of clay to mold and craft. What I really loved about this experience is that in three weeks, my mom and I get to come back and paint our pieces! If anyone in Arizona is looking for a fun class to do with friends or just wants to try something new in the city, I highly recommend this art studio! The classes are very affordable; it was only $65.00 per person, which is a STEAL!

Have you ever felt so stressed in…read morelife that you are just tired of being an adult, and you just need an escape or want to be a kid again? Crafty Tomato is THE PERFECT PLACE for such escape! I was at the studio for 3 hours TWO different times, and all I did was let my brain go blank and paint and create with air clay. The vibe was so chill that I wish I could just stay there forever! The owner, Charlotte, is super sweet and was always open to chat. The most challenging part was really just mixing the right paint color to match the easily recognizable Sanrio pink and blue. When I got the color right, I was soooo happy and as if the dark clouds above my head were gone! Charlotte came to check on my artwork and I got a thumbs up! I just love this place so much and I will definitely come back again for some more art therapy!

Employees seemed a little understaffed so don't take a group of Littles that are gonna need a lot of extra help. My daughter was young, but she did fine.

The manager was kind and tried her best, but time was ticking. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was some serious work which we were warned about the images we selected. Starting out they give some practice and off you go. Almost got discouraged, but I loved seeing my work come to life. The time spent is no exaggeration. They encourage breaks and even offer the opportunity to return for a second day (which I refused). Almost 4hrs later and we were done. Not sure if I'll do it again but so glad i did it. Maybe get more staff and support to help people out. Since it is such an extensive process down time eats up any time you would have to complete the project.

J-Wow Fact: I majored in graphic design…read more Yes, it's true. You can't tell by my kindergarten stick figure drawings, but I majored in fine arts AKA my parents' nightmare. With all that said, Jerry's is a delight. I came here as an art student and I still come here now. My niece is into the arts, so popping in here for birthday and holiday gifts is a no-brainer. I pick up the occasional items for myself as well. Canvases, paints, any marker or pen you need, et cetera. It's a great shop to fulfill all your artsy needs!

I was on the hunt for some specific paper for bookbinding and was not disappointed by the options. Not only did I find the blank paper I needed, I found a great selection of more specialty and fun paper as well as stationary pens and a few other basic bookbinding materials. They have much more than that though, including all your arts and craft needs, paints, pens, pencils, canvas, etc and fun trinkets, cute stationary type such as journals, stickers, etc. The prices are all very reasonable and they do offer student/teacher discounts. They were running a back to school donation drive for the local schools, which you received a 20% coupon for a return visit. It's only downfall is the parking, alas it is on campus and shared space with lots of high traffics restaurants and groceries, but if you don't find a spot right away, usually a lap or two will do it.
