We came in intending to stroll and buy a few art pieces but were rejected almost right away. The…read moreyoung woman at the front was very judgmental. I had my son in a stroller, and without hesitation her judgmental side came out. There was no "Hi, is there anything I can help you with?" it was essentially "leave, since you have a child in a stroller." Cool, whatever. I'll take my business elsewhere. The whole experience felt gross and weird. For a second I even wondered if the judgment was because I'm darker skinned with a light skinned child, who knows. Anyone with kids: I'd say stay away. This place is clearly not kid friendly.

Going back again next week to pick up something that they ordered for me from their Los Gatos store. Michael and Daniel have been so gracious and understanding with me as I have changed my mind a couple of times. "No problem. We can exchange that for you." "You want to leave those pots with us until you're ready to plant? No problem. We will put them in the back for you."

I found this shop when searching for good quality calla lilies for my wedding (a surprisingly…read moredifficult faux flower to find). This hidden gem store of faux florals and greenery is so cool! I was in awe at how many different plants and trees they had. The owner, Phil, was very helpful to work with. He took the time to view his upcoming deliveries to find out when he would be receiving some different calla lily options for me to choose from. We tallied several times on the phone and he was very responsive. Phil ended up helping me get exactly what I needed for my wedding at both an excellent price and quantity. Way better than what you'd get on Amazon or any chain craft store.

I also really enjoy taking their classes and participating in the art shows. Membership costs are low, and provide a discount on classes. Top notch ceramics facilities too! The gallery space is lovely and offers an interesting variety of revolving art shows. The pictures I've shared here are from a recent show called "Pose." The theme was the human figure. I also included a photo of a pastel that painting I did in class. Currently the gallery is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A lovely facility all around. I highly recommend a visit!

I recently did a stained glass workshop that showed me how great of an instructor Cindy truly was. Not only did she explain all of the steps well; she also explained the rationale and science behind it so that we could create more successful pieces. Love how simple, clean, and welcoming her studio is. Would give 6 stars if I could.

So happy with my experience here!!!…read more My family and I spent three weeks throughout Calabria, Italy and my daughters spent their days collecting sea glass from the various beaches we stayed at. As a way to memorialize our wonderful trip, I wanted to create something special from the sea glass that was collected. I found Village Sea Glass while visiting my apartment in the Capitola Village and was awed by the selection of jewelry they had. I brought my bag of sea glass and immediately Polly knew exactly what I wanted! Within three weeks, I had a number of jewelry pieces made from the glass that my daughters collected. Just see the pictures! We are beyond happy with everything!!!

TLDR: the selection of teas are amazing and the owner also has everything for the mind, body & soul to return to homeostasis :-) You can find everything from tea to tinctures, jewelry to books, ceremonial cocoa, African rugs and so much more gathered locally from the Santa Cruz mountains to Morocco (so dreamy!) The owner helped me in so many ways: - great lions mane powder for studying - all natural valerian tincture to calm anxiety - ginger room tea blend for winter - chamomile blend tea for a reception - Incense & candles for gifts I was especially encapsulated by the owner who has a bright smile, and her complete store of items for the hippy chic home. She gives off a calming vibe and you can also ask her for recommendations that works with your current vibe for you or your family and friends.
