I bought some sale yarn from Four Purls on-line. The price was good and triggered my curiosity…read moreabout the place. The pictures showed a HUGE shop. I was in Florida, visiting a friend, and talked her into making the 2 hour trip to Four Purls. Walking in, I was amazed! The place really is HUGE - the largest yarn shop I'v ever been in. The owners were really nice, explaining how the store in laid out with regard to the yarn weights. I asked about Cashmere yarn; they had it. Yak yarn; they had it. Yarns from countries that I didn't know produced yarns - Japan. They have their own private label yarn as well. This is a destination store if you're anywhere in Florida. If you use yarn in any way, you will love this place. I told my friend I'll be back to visit, if only to go back to Four Purls.

Every city I go to, I have to check out the yarn store. I went to Winter Haven eight years ago, but…read moredidn't know about Four Purls back then. I had no reasons to visit Winter Haven (nothing there), but I found myself on the way from Tampa to Orlando on a Sunday so I stopped in. It's rare for a LYS to be open seven days a week - but they are so that was a definite plus. There's a decent amount of free parking on the street and in a nearby small lot. The store has a great selection, although I found it to be eaten up by a ton of Emma's yarns (local, but having one wall of it takes away from other yarns they could stock in my opinion). For example, I wish they stocked Cascade 220 since no stores nearby stock it. Although there is a yarn for everyone, and a few interesting finds (Biscotti self-striping, multicolored roving, art yarns, crochet animal kits). I met Noelle, and she was very sweet in helping me out, and showed me around the shop since it was my first time there. Overall, there's a good range of yarns organized by weight (my preferred layout for a LYS), and is definitely one of the top yarn stores I've been to in the Southeast.

I called before going, because I felt like an art shop in Lake Alfred was too good to be true... turns out, I was in for a surprise. This place is a real gem. I get my clay fired here, and purchase all of my glazes from here- they have a HUGE selection of Mayco colors, and even have Mayco's latest drops, which I was so stoked about. And the price for firing is so affordable! Wiley let's you rent kiln space by the shelf, which is super nice if you're like me and can only afford to make a few pieces at a time. They also have different workshops you can take that are beginner friendly. They also have THOUSANDS of molds you can choose from to be fired for you to paint and personalize yourself. And so much more, but you really should go down and check it out yourself because they have something for everyone!

Came here cute my nephew's birthday. They rented the facility to hold a workshop to decorate a…read morewooden box. They put monogrammed letters on the box, sanded, primed and painted. The staff were attentive and friendly, walking around to each table to check on each person and guide them along the process. The work areas were large and it was nice sound with others to guide and help each other also. There really wasn't an overall explanation on how to do the monogram on the box so we struggled with this until a staff member came by and guided us on the process but by then all but 1 monogram was on a box. Wish there would have been just a bit more overall instructions on this is how we put on and take off the monogram. Overall the experience was lovely and I think everyone really enjoyed it. Great place to have a party or come take part in a workshop.

This was a neat little craft workshop I'd never heard of. Came here for a kids birthday party and…read moreit was setup nicely and executed well. Walking in, it looks messy, but hey, it's a workshop so it should be messy looking! A clean workshop isn't a workshop...lol. They had ewctangular tables lined up through the shop that accommodated like 8 people a piece. They setup supplies and everything the kids would need to build, personlaize, and paint their wooden boxes. They walked everyone through the process at the same time and took the time to check on everyone during the process. They allowed us to bring in food and drinks for the party so their was a mixture of home made and store bought stuff. As far as I could tell, the kids all enjoyed it and so did the parents who also participated. It was definitely a neat experience and something thatwould be fun for younger families and maybe even a corporate outing or something similar. If you;'re looking for a unique party or activity, this might just fit the bill.

There is quite a bit to remember, so pay attention so you can explain it to your littles as you go. They had a great selection of pottery to choose from with a good mix of prices. There is a $10 studio charge in addition to the cost of the pottery to cover the materials and studio time, but there's no limit to how long you can spend painting, which I appreciated! When you're done, you leave the pottery there so they can fire it. They said it takes about 3-5 days to complete it. I'm excited to see how ours turn out! We had a great time, and my niece is dying to go paint more pottery!

I wandered into this creative co-op during the Caladium Festival and I was impressed by the…read moreartistic talent that was showcased. The Caladium Arts and Crafts Co-Op is a non profit that was created in 1992 by three Lake Placid Artists: Carol Mills, Harriet Porter, and Suellen Robinson. The ladies wanted to create a place for local artists and crafters to display and market their creations to the public. The store is like Etsy shop that you can walk around in person. Artists join the co-op so they can sell their creations. There are approximately 50 artists selling painted furniture, crochet blankets, tote bags, wreaths, trinket boxes, tea towels, note cards, jewelry, aprons, glasses, holiday decorations, faux floral arrangements, Christmas ornaments, art work for the wall, and more. I especially loved the delicate caladium earrings which were perfect for the festival. Everyone who was working was so kind and warm to me and the prices were more than fair for such skilled handiwork in the mediums of wood, textiles, glass, canvas, and metal. In addition to selling the work of artists, the co-op also has a room in the back that offers a variety of classes. You can view the current offerings on Facebook. A recent project was a rope bowl. If I lived locally I would be a regular visitor to this inspirational and welcoming space.

Each has the prices labeled on the bottom. You choose one, take a seat, choose your paints, and then spend several hours absorbed into art! It takes awhile because you have to do multiple layers of paint to make the colors show up properly. This place is neat because it's connected to a little cafe. They have an iPad at the connecting doorway so you can order drinks or snacks delivered while you work. We didn't know about that so we didn't do much with it this time but we definitely would in the future!
