It's a great place for bachelorettes or birthdays. First of all the space is amazing! It's in a new building. It's bright and homey. When you walk in, there's a reception area and small retail outlet. If you don't want to craft your own, you can purchase. There were some Halloween decor. There's also some jewelry and other things. Large doors open onto the street. A basement is also a workspace that would be great for a private party. It's a large L-shape room with room for working on crafts and space to set up food and drinks. The staff were friendly and really helpful with the wood crafts. The grand opening had food and drinks as well as small wood crafts you could do! I can't wait to go back with friends!

We can't thank the two ladies enough that put up with all of our questions and indecisiveness for 3 hours. It was a byob workshop and you choose your project online. There are many different pieces you can create and customize- from the color to the stain to the words on the piece- it seriously is such a great experience. I highly recommend for a girls night out, date night or gift idea that you want to create yourself. Gaurentted a great time and definitely worth the price!!

My boyfriend and I showed up and it was just the two of us which made things more intimate which was exciting! The vibes are so cool. Had the opportunity to jam out to turkish music, drank some turkish tea and had lovely sweet treat. Out host was so kind. She quickly walked us through what seemed like very easy instructions.....3 hours later we finally complete our lamps! There's so many different routes with designing your piece and I appreciate how they show you the traditional designs but also provide space for your own creativity. I definitely would recommend this workshop and happily will go to check out the other classes they offer.

I took my staff to Project Joy for a team building workshop. Joy was amazing to work with. She let…read moreme choose the date and time. My staff was able to relax and create art in a safe, comfortable environment. The studio is very inspiring with artwork and creations all around. Joy guided us through the process and encouraged us to be unique and go with the flow. The materials she had were fun and unique. I would recommend this studio to anyone looking for a new way to relax or find inspiration. Joy has many creative ideas and purposely made this type of art for the novice or experienced artist. We had a great time and I would love to do another project with her. It was an excellent value and all of us created three pieces of art. If you are looking for a unique experience with friends, colleagues, or family, please check her out. I also love supporting local woman-owned businesses!

I Contacted Joy to see if she could do a project kit for my daughter's 10th birthday. She was able to put something together, on short notice, that was truly memorable. The color cell project was self directed and allowed the girls to explore their creativity. These girls sat side-by-side and marveled at each other's creations. It was an excellent way to entertain and give them something to take home.

Great teaching, wide range of courses, convenient location, plus several opportunities to show my work during the year. This is also a great place for kids-- art classes after school and on the weekends, and their summer art camp is excellent.

Greg is super cool and patient and explains himself very well. We learned how to cut glass into shapes, sand it down to be smoother, cover this in copper foil, and solder it into a finished piece. We did all of this in three hours and enjoyed time with other people taking the class. To make larger pieces, he hosts full-day workshops and even a six-week workshop where lowkey you can become a professional and have the ability to create/sell your own work. I loved this experience - it's super unique and combines an art class with a trade.

Cassie's mom taught the stain glass class I took. I really liked how much personal time this art class offered. Cassie's mom was super patient and really helped me worked through the problems I have previously had with stain glass work. I liked how it was precut pieces so you didn't feel discouraged if the piece would look bad. I learned a lot about lead soldering I never knew before. The place doesn't just offer stain glass classes, they offer water color, poetry, etc. Cassie seems to really care for her craft and doesn't seem to be in it for the money but to support local art which is pretty impressive. I can't wait to take another class at her studio.

Before owning the Coven, Cassie had hosted art classes at Fleisher Art Memorial, Philly Typewriter, and other spots where she still teaches today. Through those partnerships, it made sense to open a spot of her own, and the Coven is equal parts art gallery featuring her and guest artists' work, and a place where you can do your own arts and crafts. On my first visit, I had a fun time checking out the monster and animal pin-up themed art on the walls while my friends did painting. During my second visit, I did a color pencil drawing that was going to be added to a collab mural at Cherry Street Pier on a future date. On First Friday, it's also one of the places that has its events start later, making it a great place to chill longer and do your own art in after you explore other galleries. Checking the website not only showcases onsite events like a stained glass star making and Gab and Glue event, but it also features other events like South Philly Drink and Draw at Fleisher Art Memorial, making it a must-visit for any arts & crafts aficionado!
