Huge shoutout to Dustin and his lovely assistant V. They were both incredible. Super patient, encouraging, and made the whole class feel fun and approachable, even for beginners. They explained everything in a way that made you feel comfortable jumping in and just creating. If you're looking for something fun, creative, and different to do, I 100% recommend taking a class here. I'll definitely be back!

However, I didn't like there wasn't much open studio time, and the selections of glazes were sporadic. It was also hard to know what the glazes would look like combined since there wasn't any visual chart to consult.

Arabesque is a dancewear store located in the back of the Thornebrook Village Shopping Center off…read moreof 43rd Street in northwest Gainesville. While most people who need to know about it probably already do, I am reviewing Arabesque here because it's a fine little store run by a very charming lady who obviously cares very much about dance in our town. Expectedly, most of the stock is dancewear and shoes geared towards girls and young women because that's the lion's share of who buys dancewear in Gainesville and who takes dance lessons. However, both UF and Santa Fe have good dance programs and there's a number of men and women therefore into dance--to say nothing of the professional dance and theatre activities going on in town. What really makes Arabesque is the owner: she's a sweet, charming, woman very interested in the business she runs. I went in looking for a rather specialized article of clothing that she didn't have (a mesh top) and she made every effort to try to track down something to suit my needs. I finally found just the thing by American Apparel, but her willingness to help and friendly approach will bring me back to her store should I ever have need to buy anything they might sell.

Then some nice costume jewelry that wasn't of great value, but nice keepsakes, and then gave me detailed prices on the last few items. They also did a nice job making me an earring and buying some inexpensive things that added to something less than $1k. I worked w Arjuna. He was real kind at a time i needed kindness, and Govind "came from a friend" who had used them a couple times over the years, so i felt i could trust them, and it appears i could. But things are never as valuable for sale as one might hope. :)

They are always willing to clean and polish my engagement and wedding rings. They look as good as the day we bought them.

The results are a beautiful, modern looking pair of earrings and matching pendant. I never hesitate to look to the Village Jeweler for any jewelry purchase or repair.
