Every room is private so it was just the 2 of us and they let you connect your phone to their system so you can listen to your own playlist while painting. They give you ample and quality gear - poncho, coveralls, gloves and goggles. And then they send you into the room with plenty of paint, 1 canvas per person and whatever else you ordered (paint bombs, paint guns, spin art, stencils, etc). We also got the bear pour as an add-on and I'm super excited about it! (Note that the bear can't be taken home that day though so we paid for shipping). You can paint wherever and however to your hearts desire. Our room also had plastic axe throwing and a drum with paint on it to splatter. I LOVE taking pictures so I also very much appreciated that they come in constantly to take pictures and send them to you a few days later. When it was time to go, they give you pizza boxes that hold the canvases perfectly. We laid down a sheet in our trunk underneath but it wasn't necessary (and our canvases had A LOT of paint on them so we we were impressed they didn't spill - and made the 1.5 hr drive home without getting ruined). It was a fun way to celebrate my birthday and I would definitely go back with my 3 boys! Afterwards, we did their target zone with BB guns (they said age minimum is about 10 which makes sense). I wasn't sure if we'd do it but I wanted to extend our day to more than just the hour so we went ahead and did it. VERY WORTH IT! Ron helped us and was a great instructor - very nice and happy to be there. We tried their airsoft rifles and then their handguns and both were very different and fun to play with. My husband and I went head to head making it a fun competition and it's pretty easy to pick it up quickly. Overall, great experience and really friendly staff!

Peters Valley School of Craft is definitely a hidden gem. I don't even remember how I found this…read moreplace, but as my father (almost 80) is a glass blower by trade and profession I thought he would enjoy checking it out while he was visiting from NC. We drove a little over an hour from NY a couple of weeks ago to see some of their workshops in action (available to see between 2pm and 5pm on weekends), as well as to visit their retail shop. The woman in the store was very friendly and gave us a map and information about where to go to see the workshops that were ongoing that weekend. We were able to see the blacksmithing and textile spaces and they are very impressive. We had a very quick tour of the blacksmithing area and heard a little about the workshop coming up later this year for teens (ages 13 to 17) before heading to the textile area, which was a little more remote. We had to drive over a mile on a dirt road with lots of pot holes. It just added to the appeal, being out in the middle of nowhere. The coordinator of the textile program (I can't remember his name) was so friendly and informative. He told us a lot about the program as well as the history of the organization (50+ years in this location). He showed us some panels on the wall that provided some information on a sister property that is being built just over the border in PA, and will open a lot more doors for them and what they can offer. The facilities he oversees includes 10+ looms and spinning wheels. After our tour we returned to the retail store. Yes, many of the items in the shop are pricey, but if you appreciate real craftsmanship you will understand it is worth supporting the artists who create items of this quality. Some of these specialties are lost arts. Growing up with my father and regularly attending art shows I understand the time and effort that goes into all of these handcrafted products. If you visit their website you will see all of the amazing workshops they offer. They also offer rustic accommodations to stay in for the duration of your workshop if you choose, as well as providing fresh made meals each day as part of your workshop cost. I would love to participate in one of their workshops some day. I wish I had taken some photos, but I will be back and will try and do so then. I didn't realize how beautiful the area would be. Would love to return for a morning of hiking before visiting this school again. Wish them so much success!

We were here to check out their shop and exhibit. The staff were friendly. Worth visiting.read more

If you're interested in trying out pottery, Craft Into Art is a wonderful studio. I had been doing…read morepottery for about 6 months before meeting Jackie, and she taught me a ton of new techniques and made me a much better potter. She is an excellent teacher, pays close attention to each student, is very knowledgeable, and is fun to boot. She put a lot of care into making sure that I could do the projects I was interested in, in the time I needed them (including for some time bound gifts). I can't recommend Jackie and Craft Into Art enough - don't wait, take a class!

Then there were the decisions on the color schemes for the bar of soap and the choices of fragrance. It was so much fun! The best part was when the soap bars have set, and they were unveiled from the mold. The soap bars all came out so beautifully. This is a fun activity for both young and old. I plan on coming back with girlfriends and making it a girls-night-out. Highly recommended.

A cute and fun activity - something different to do on a day when it's too cold to go outside…read more We stopped by on a Saturday around noon and it was packed. There was a birthday party going on in the party room, and almost every table in the main section was taken. There's a set fee of $9 per painter for the studio fee, and then you pay for the price of whichever piece you select. Then you get to pick five colors to put on your palette. My daughters had fun painting. They are probably little for this activity, but it's been so cold out that we just wanted something new to do. If you have littles I'd just encourage you to pick an easy piece. We actually missed an entire wall of kid friendly pieces, so I wish we knew about that. They have a good selection of pieces to paint, and I can definitely see us coming back here again in the future, and also might even consider it for my daughter's fifth birthday party!
