Crafted DIY Studio & Bar of Peoria... you have my heart!! I visited Peoria with my boyfriend a…read moremonth ago and took a walk for approx. 3 minutes before stumbling into Crafted. I LOVE CRAFTS. And I also like to sip. So naturally, we walked in and signed ourselves up for a craft session the next morning. The options are truly expansive in terms of both project variety and skill level! I made a wine caddy (the shapes were pre-cut, but I sanded, assembled, and painted the finish), and the boo thang made a leather wallet. Drinks were tasty! I wasn't in the mood to drink at 11am (I'm not strong enough... yet), so I had a fizzy drink with muddled berries and mint at the bottom. I LOVE IT HERE! As they said to me upon walking in, "You don't have to craft to drink and you don't have to drink to craft," but you'll for sure have a great time :")

This place does just that in addition to being a super cool space to make something cool to take home! We were just passing through on our way home from a weekend in Springfield so we just had a drink. This would be a great place for date night or to take your kids for an art project! How cool is that!

Said we'll keep looking and will contact you didn't contact i contacted said they found it. went in to pick it up was not finished being glazed. she said it was put on the wrong shelf because it looked like it hadn't been painted. It had been painted. I chose to inform the person behind the desk. Evidently they didn't flip it over. It had been painted and she said oh. After weeks of going thru this my granddaughter finally got her piece they also said that if you don't pick up your piece by seven days, they throw it out . Horrible service i never heard a I'm sorry fr the lady with glasses who I dealt with or give my granddaughter a free piece To paint something?!?! They acted like they did nothing wrong.

Hoping to have a Valentine's Day pottery class while socially distancing and adhering to state…read moreguidelines. Instead, we are cramped into a small room elbow to elbow and at one point for the Valentine's Day game, All those seated decided to take off their masks completely. When I told the event helpers that we were leaving because we didn't feel safe, they just looked at me and said "ok" and didn't even tell the group that they need to put their masks back on. Very hostile environment. The non-maskers were glaring at you and coughing at you. I did not feel safe there. Owner was more focused on his income then the health and well being of the community. Very sad! We just left rather than succumb ourselves to a toxic environment.

Just a fun and creative environment everyone there is super nice and amazing at what they do thereread more

Very sweet instructors here! They have specials for the first Friday of every month, so we took…read moreadvantage of that as our first visit. Even though we arrived to the location 20 minutes early it took forever to find parking, and we were 5 mins late because of that! Make sure to account for that if you're going on a Friday or weekend night! However they were super sweet and nobody minded us as we came in later, they showed us to our stations and where we could get glasses/open our wine. The entire painting experience was nice and the instructor kept things well paced so that everyone could keep up. One thing that I would note is that the brushes here have seen a lot of love so they are a bit frayed and I'm afraid that does affect the way your painting comes out since you might not be able to follow the instructor 100% accurately with all her brush strokes. Overall, it was a good experience and a fun time to share with friends, and I love supporting local businesses, so I'd definitely recommend checking their website out for what classes that have coming up!
