Arrived 10 mins early and she was willing to start my session. Class is only 4 people total at a time. MUST call far in advance for BSG - Beginning Stained Glass class. Val explained step by step and showed demonstration when needed. A bit pricey but lots of tools needed. For 2 people it was $170, so $85 pp. I would be interested to take ASG = Advanced Stained Glass class in a future date. Bring something to drink, snacks and dress comfortable. I do wish there were more templates to choose from and more glass colors to choose from. Parking lot isn't an issue.

Well mission accomplished. First and foremost, Val is an amazing and fun instructor. Anything art related really intimidates me but she was very encouraging and patient with me. We both wanted to make glass art related to our dogs and we had so many options to choose from and Val had the perfect selection for beginners like us. Lastly I was surprised by how affordable a class with all the materials provided was. We started out with a simpler project but want to keep progressing and get better and we won't break the bank doing so! We can't wait to go back and I can't wait for you, the reader, to get in there and create something beautiful! Thank you, Val, for everything!

Just be warned basically EVERYTHING is above $30 alongside the studio fee of ~ $15. Depending on what you go with, it's definitely good to have an idea of what you want to do (design or color wise) before you go, so it doesn't eat into your limited time. I like that they have examples of how the paint will look before and after firing, alongside brightness/layer (on the wall). I picked something practical and that I can actually use to eat:) It took about 10 days to be done so we could pick up.

I mean, I'd love to come here by myself just to relieve the everyday stress. The girls there were very friendly and helpful. Be sure to make reservations because I can see why it gets busy. You'll have 2 hours to paint and they will let you know when it's ready for pick up! Thinking about this little spot makes me want to go back. There is metered parking you can use the app to pay and add more if needed or find a spot in the neighborhoods. It's a very busy area and a lot of car and foot traffic due to all the local eats and shops, plus the beach around the corner!

He seemed extremely passionate in what he does! Giving a low rating just because of our experience with front desk staff. We come in super cordial just to be met with stank attitudes. A few weeks after our session, we called the place to follow up on our pieces and the woman on the phone sounded rude about us asking about it. We went to pick up our pieces recently and the woman at the front desk definitely sounded like the one we talked to on the phone, same voice and same unwelcoming attitude. As if our presence ruined her day or us picking up our pieces was such a drastic request for her to do.

I love Michael's…read more But unfortunately, I don't even bother with the only one thats close to me due to the employee's that work that store.... They are ridiculous with profiling people!! They think everybody is in there to steal so they'll either blatantly follow you around or take the more low-key approach and you'll notice they just so happen to start stocking shelves in the same aisle you're browsing in. They also like to do this thing where they announce over the P.A. system "Long Beach P.D. - Line One" to make you think they have called the police on you to get people out of the store!

I truly do not have enough words to describe how unbelievably awful our experience has been with…read morethe custom framing department at Michael's. Specifically, with Kristen. My sweet, very patient mother has now had to make FOUR separate trips to fix a painting they originally damaged and incorrectly framed. Each time, instead of taking accountability or offering even the most basic apology, Kristen somehow found multiple different things to blame -- none of them being the store. We dropped the piece off for the FINAL time in December. December. We never received a call. Not once. After multiple attempts to reach the store by phone (which went unanswered or unreturned), we finally had to physically go today (in February) to see if the artwork was complete. And instead of even a simple, "We're so sorry for the inconvenience," we were met with callous, passive-aggressive energy and the most aggressively condescending tone I have ever encountered in a retail setting. No ownership. No apology. No professionalism. Just attitude. Shame on you, Kristen! I have genuinely never dealt with someone so unhelpful and unprofessional in all my years at any store anywhere. It was shocking. We will absolutely never bring another piece here again as long as she is employed. There are too many businesses that value their customers to waste time being treated like an inconvenience for expecting basic competence and courtesy. Save yourself the stress and take your artwork elsewhere.

Everything here is reasonably priced & affordable. Pretty much all of my special occasions always had something from Fabric Barn. I have purchased 100s of spools of ribbons, personalized ribbons, baby shower favors supplies, party supplies, bags, round mirrors for centerpieces, wedding accessories including my veil and (believe it or not) my wedding dress. Service is hit & miss. Depending on the clientele & how busy it is, you may get helped quickly or you have to wait until the ladies finish chatting with coworkers or clienteles. Parking is tight on weekends but the flow of customers coming and going out of FB has never made me drive around the block more than once or twice. Because FB has always had what I needed. I have never been to go downtown to the Garment District. I have been living in SoCal for 33 years! Check them out!

Dainty Disco is such a cute and unique craft studio in Long Beach, especially for decoden glue…read morecrafts! There aren't many places like this in the area, so it's a fun and creative spot to check out. I found them on Instagram and decided to go with some friends. I've been to two craft studios that are similar, so my review is based on experiences from other places. The booking process was super easy--you reserve online with a $10 nonrefundable deposit, which goes toward the final cost of your craft. When we went at 3 PM on a Friday, we were the only group there, so we had the whole space to ourselves. Free street parking was available right in front of the store, which was a plus! Just a heads-up, it's located in an older part of Long Beach, so keep that in mind. The studio itself is absolutely adorable - very girly and charming. It's a smaller space but seems like it could accommodate a few larger groups at a time, so if you're planning to go with a big party, I'd recommend inquiring ahead of time. One thing I really appreciated is that there's no per-person studio fee. The craft prices ranged from around $15-$45, which is similar to other craft studios I've been to. You can decorate a variety of items like jewelry boxes, mirrors, photo frames, claw clips, phone cases, and glass cups. There was a nice selection of beads, charms, glitter, and other craft supplies. Their website and Instagram list monthly specials, and this month's Hello Kitty and Sonny Angel-inspired phone buddies were adorable. The owner was incredibly sweet, and you can tell she puts a lot of love into her business. She originally started Dainty Disco as a gift shop, so there's still a small retail section with cute merchandise available for purchase. A couple of minor things could be improved. The lighting inside the studio wasn't the best--it was a cloudy day, which didn't help, but some additional overhead lighting would have been useful for crafting. Also, a few craft options were sold out; for example, they were out of the larger heart jewelry boxes and only had one smaller one left. I think a section on the website that lists the options for crafts with pictures would have been helpful in guiding customers ahead of time for their choices. Overall, we had a great time, and it was nice to support a small business! They also host monthly craft meet-ups, which I'd love to check out in the future. If you're looking for a fun and creative activity in Long Beach, I definitely recommend giving Dainty Disco a visit and I'm down to come back!
