First and foremost, 3rd Millennium is the best place in the area to get framing and stretching…read moredone. Talking to Hector, one can tell he sees the value of the pieces he services. It was reassuring to my family and me to hear him say he wanted to ensure the painting's integrity and beauty throughout the process. We came in one early evening with a 5'x8' painting. We got to see his impressive workshop and got a quote for stretching. Several days later, the painting was done, and they were able to mount it on our wall as well. The work is quick and we were awed by how the painting turned out. Despite his warnings abouts stretching such large, hand-painted piece, we couldn't have asked for better. We would definitely come back here again for any future services. Note: For larger paintings, such as the one we had stretched, it is preferred that your schedule be open to receive the painting once it is done.

Hector was helpful and gave me a quote right away. His clarity and precision on custom frames was…read moreexpected. Price was reasonable, I would come back to get my picture framed.

Plus the variety is great. The croffle is hella good and my drink wasn't too sweet. I got the raspberry matcha latte with honey foam on top. 10/10. 2nd the vibe is really nice. There's plenty of seating, free water cups, and lots of art on the wall for purchase. There's some artists I recognized from going to art events in the bay, and some I didn't. It was fun to look at stickers and also the themed gallery art. (Right now is amphibians). 3rd the small details really matter. This is the FIRST place I've been to with bag hooks at the tables! Do you know how much I've longed for bag hooks!?!? Your bag is not gonna get dirty here. Overall: price is fair, quality is great, and vibes are good. If I had ONE note, the acoustics are a little off / things can get echo-y but it's not the worst of that I've ever seen. Really, no complaints. I did like that the music wasn't too loud. Thanks for having us!

She was very helpful, knowledgeable, patient and explained the whole process from choosing a medium (interior vs exterior), adhesives, glass vs tiles, and teaching us how to grout our finished artwork. The price for this 2 day session ($80) is very reasonable compared to other places. If you were to buy (an 8x8 piece of colored glass is about $10 ea.) all the supplies yourself, it would cost way more than the fee for the class. It was nice to have all the supplies available for us to use. Also, if you were to do this at home you would definitely have a mess to clean up afterwards! My only suggestion is to have a simple, design ready before you attend class. That will help save a lot of time so you can focus on what colors you want to use. An overall great class...thanks Christine!
