Took a class last weekend: Create Your Own Geode! with Rhonda Kiser…read more I'm a crafty person, as in I'm not an artist. I know my way around the glue gun and a Silhouette machine but not a palette of watercolors or charcoal pencils. This was the perfect class! I got to create something without any real preconceived idea of how it "had" to look and for me, that was refreshing! Rhonda was informative and patient in explaining why were doing things a certain way and she left the artistic part up to me. She covered all the different materials she commonly uses. I appreciated all the recommendations and useful info on the materials. I feel confident I could create another geode all in my own now. Truly a relaxing process and a great self-care experience. Going to try to make it a girls night next time!

I, myself have taken advantage of the weekly adult classes and art journaling! I love having time set aside just for me! Add to that enhancing my artistic eye and abilities! We've also had the rare occasion of a PNO & early release classes. My kids have always come home with incredible projects and an earful of how much they loved that days teachers. All the teachers we have experienced are kind and informative when teaching a class. We've experienced FULL classes and smaller classes and I have felt the attention given has been on point every time. So glad we've found a place that has helped up grow artistically

It gets HOT so light clothing would be recommended. You get a lot of hands on, not like some glass places where you just choose a color. You get to twist the glass in the furnace. You get to dip it and roll in your color and you get to blow your own! Everything is safe and sanitized. Very affordable and more people should give glass blowing a try!

I went there for the first time shortly after their first Mardi Gras, and have returned several times since. I also love having their kits shipped directly to my door. Krewes, Indians, and just regular old people like me love this store and all it has to offer. Glitters, glues, trims, feathers, spectacular examples of the different handmade throws, an ample work space, and some of the most creative minds in the business to help you in anyway you need. Even when you're shopping from afar, they are still a great help, and if you put a note in on your order (like, don't ship before this date) they actually pay attention and you'll get what you need exactly when you want it. It's not a hobby; it's a way of life.
