We've known him for over 10 years and we have been purchasing things here and then. Finally, based…read moreon our friendship, we hired him to decorate our basement. Things didn't go well. Lots of things appear to be used or cheap, Temu level. We asked for antique posters, we got a print that we found online for 1/10 of the price. He also dumped the boxes in our basement, and we never heard back from him. If we are paying for his hours, I would expect service, including someone coming and unpacking and he doing the adjustments, etc. After a few months, I decided to unpack, that's when we found out about the poster and also that some items were missing. We then emailed him, and he looked very responsive saying he would do the adjustments but never did. Months and months just pretending. Enormous emails basically saying he was feeding poor children and awkward unrelated comments. He even insinuated we were having money problems since we wanted our money back. I order things from people I don't know all the time and when there is a problem, those people are usually helpful. I was not expecting this from a person that I have known for over 10 years. Now, I believe his friendship is only for his benefit and it is not real. Be aware of all the fairy tales of how he says he is, of how he has good heart, how he treats his clients and how they treat him. For me it was not only a money pit but also a personal disappointment. It sucks but that is how life is. btw, I still don't have my money back after 7 months of emails.

The community was originally introduced to them at local art fairs but they've now moved into The Mellwood Art Center. I love how they bring pieces back to life or see another vision for them. Most items are larger furniture pieces but smaller accessories are also available. Have something in mind? Couldn't hurt to describe the idea and see if they can take it on! Follow their social media pages for events and check out their site for a gallery of available items.

I love their fanny packs, book bags, and coin purses, but to see all that they offer in one spot was super exciting. I have my eye on some patchwork coats, robes, and baby clothes! The store has a beautiful balance and harmony in the way it is set up. The back room, which I believe works as both their office and specialty event space, is stunning. The architecture, with it's ultra high ceilings, skylights, and exposed wood beams, actually made me lose my breath. It felt like a really inspiring place, and I am so glad this team is there. A friendly staff member greeted me after I walked in. The whole vibe was charming and exciting.

Each piece of pottery is hand painted by artisans in Boleslawiec, Poland using brushes and sponge stamps. The beautiful designs (dots, flowers, circles, clovers etc) in vibrant blue, green, yellow, red and purple colors make me feel so happy! The pottery is created to be functional, not just for display! It is very durable, chip and scratch resistant, and most importantly, is lead and cadmium free. It is dishwasher, oven (to 500 degrees),microwave,and freezer safe. There are plenty of pieces from which to choose, including dinnerware, tabletop, bakeware and more. I consider Polish pottery to be investment pieces that can be handed down through the family for years to come! Talk about the perfect gift for weddings, graduations, mother's day and more! I am fortunate to live so very close to this lovely shop and stop in often just to browse (and wish!) when I am walking in the neighborhood! (I always forget to check in on Yelp because I am so engrossed with the pottery!) One of my favorite purchases is my teapot that rests on a base. The base holds a tea light candle for keeping the tea warm for a longer period (although it stays very warm in the teapot for quite a while!). I am including a picture of my Polish pottery teapot for readers to enjoy as well as a picture of the shop owner beside the cool, outdoor tea cup! The shop is located on Main Street in the Middletown historic district. On-street parking is available along the street and in nearby church lots.

First time reviewing after going here for big occasions for years! I most recently visited for…read moretheir Valentine's Day Craft session and I had such a good time! I made some concrete coasters from scratch while I sipped an espresso martini. The service is prompt, and the specialists are also really kind and knowledgeable. The crafts range from simple to complex, and every craft is very independent! Avoid if you're not into loud noises as the work space is a little small and others and their crafts will be making lots of noise! (Especially the hammer for the leather works!) I've never had a drink here I didn't love, but the espresso martini especially is one of my favorites in the city. Really mellow flavor and very foamy. The Craftery is perfect for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and date nights. Next time skip the fancy dinner and make some concrete coasters instead! Then grab some takeout and enjoy your craft!

It is nice to see The Craftery continue to thrive at Nulu Marketplace. While I am creative, I am…read morenot a craft person. Things don't turn out the way my brain envisioned them and I find myself more frustrated than inspired. The shop offers various items to craft and once purchasing the project, the supplies are provided. Long tables fill the space. Drinks and cocktails are available for purchase and you can bring in food or order from nearby restaurants. My recent visit they hosted drag bingo during Pride month. The staff were amazing and kept the drink line reasonable. I also loved their generosity in donating two visits to the bingo winners.

Went in this morning to pick up but they said the thread was the way it was brought in. I disagreed, and IMMEDIATELY, the owner took it in the back room, disassembled the piece and came out with a check she had already created in advance to cover my initial down payment! This was a clear set up. And, oh by the way, they are VERY EXPENSIVE' Strange that, only 1 day after I wrote my review,"someone" would write a glowing review of this business filled with platitudes and pleading that we all need to support "local". This, after years of only one previous review. Suspicious.
