Have a great experience! My friend and I wanted to gift a group class to our friend for her…read morebirthday, and we loved it. We got to make 2 items during the 3 hour handbuilding class and it flew by- we could've stayed another hour or so. I saw classes at other studios that only lasted an hour and I'm so glad I went with Sugar Hill Clay. It was $180 for up to a 4-person private class and worth every penny. We were able to book a Saturday class with Chen (who was so talented, knowledgeable and set such a calming presence) and would do it again! After you make your items, Chen will glaze them with your color preference and fire them. Once they're ready, they let you know when you can pick up the pieces! 1000% would recommend- hidden gem!

Detroit Tuft is an amazing class that is perfect for family, friends, school, students, and…read morecolleagues. I recommend this class for so many individuals looking to tap into the creative side, but also to have some fun. I must say during my visit today I felt safe and at peace during my time tufting. I really enjoyed how the owners took their time to get to know me but also have some fun. I didn't feel pressured. I felt at ease and as soon as I felt confident due to their incredible words of wisdom I began to tuft for the first time. My classmates and I were dancing and singing karaoke, but also tapping into side of our creativity that we didn't know about. I really enjoyed how they challenged me to try new things because I didn't even know I was capable of doing something so amazing. I highly encourage you to check out Detroit Tuft and try a new craft that you may not have known about. It's easy simple and most importantly fun. This is a great relaxing experience that I highly recommend. It's also key to make sure that we always support locally owned businesses and this is a great team that works within the Detroit area.

HARD PASS. I purchased a Groupon for 2 people to do the cell phone walking tour back on May 3rd…read more There were no dates available to register for the class on the website so that should have been a red flag, however, the rating on Groupon was 4+ stars. I had to email, send messages on the website and call many times before I heard back from someone. When I got a hold of someone, they told me that they only do the class once a month. My friend and I scheduled the class 3 weeks in advance. I got a text message confirming that we could make it on the day of the tour. I confirmed. We showed up at the DIA as instructed at noon and when we arrived, I got a text that the "teacher" was running 30 minutes late. My friend and I waited over an hour and no one showed up. Not the instructor or any other people to take the walking tour. I find it hard to believe that they are promoting this tour on Groupon and only one person a month is trying to schedule the tour. I called the person 2x and she didn't answer and then someone showed up over an hour later as it was going to rain. This is unacceptable. The person that showed up was not wearing any shirt or badge to indicate any affiliation with Photo Sensei. Additionally, when we questioned where the tour would go, she said "she wasn't sure" and she would have to check her phone. She also mentioned driving somewhere, which is a bit fishy as we were prepared to go on a "walking tour" not alone in some strangers car. I also noticed that any positive reviews for this company were from many years ago. Be aware of this.

We didn't have to look far, as Rozwell was lying on a display table right near the entrance! He is so cute and sniffed our hands and got a few pets. I didn't bug him too much as he seemed content to just nap. We learned that he is 20(!!!) years old and there is another shop cat that we didn't see. Moving on, this store is super cool. They have tons of interesting things including lots of crystals, clothing, accessories, gifts, jewelry, and more. The shop also has their production facility in the back. I wonder if they do tours! They are known for using actual manhole covers in Detroit to make prints on clothing, which I think is really cool and would make a great souvenir for any Detroit lover. I had a blast looking around at everything and loved some of the vintage prints on shirts, as well as what I assume are original designs. This is a great shop for finding a gift for the coolest person in your life, or for you, because you are cool. We bought a bag of Kitty Town coffee to take home and I'm excited to come back the next time I'm in town.
