This place is located in a super small downtown area with not a lot around. The studio itself was super cool! Our instructor for our pottery class was amazing!

I would absolutely recommend this to anyone as a fun date night or just a fun thing to do!

My friend and I decided we wanted to do something different than dinner for our hang out session…read more.. so we decided to try tufting! Here are my thoughts: Location - The location is spacious and cute instead, reminds me of an art gallery. Parking - this is where it gets confusing, its in a small space but parking was confusing for me. I recommend coming earlier to find parking. My favorite thing was the was that the instructor made sure each of us knew what we were doing before having us doing it on our own. I also loved the music while we worked. I would come back! It was very easy and relaxing!

I purchased a Groupon for this class on Saturday the 18th of July because we were going to be…read morevisiting Atlanta for the week. Once I purchased the deal I followed the instructions and emailed them using the link provided in order to book the class using the Groupon. I got no response on that Saturday the 18th so I emailed several times leading up to the day we wanted to take the class. No response. I called 3 times (once on Tuesday 21, Wednesday the 22 and then again on Thursday) I finally spoke with a rather rude individual finally on Thursday that told me he never got my emails, and never had time to listen to the messages. I told him I wanted to book the class using a Groupon he then proceeded to tell me all his classes were booked full. At that time I informed him I was on his website looking at his class times and it was showing 3 openings available. He put me on hold and when he came back asked me to refresh the page at which time he had closed EVERYTHING. Would have love to have taken the class but not with all the scamming. Don't recommend you buying the deal from Groupon either. The whole ordeal was a Hugh disappointment

In addition to being an art gallery and having painting classes, ghost tours are also launched from here. I was lucky enough to go on Ann's tour and it was so fun and interesting. There is SO much history here and Ann knows all of it. I loved hearing the stories at each stop. The thing with a small town is that everyone knows where the bodies are buried.....and there are plenty here in Covington. The first night of our event there was a power outage downtown. That made it the perfect setting for our group! What a great spot with or without electrify! If you have any interest in art or ghosts, this gallery is the place for you.

They support crochet, Tunisian crochet, and knitting. They have classes and the person working there was friendly and knowledgeable. Prices were a bit high but reasonable given the quality of the goods offered and the fact that, as a crocheted, I felt welcome. I'm 54 and have been crocheting and knitting since childhood. This is the first time I've ever felt welcome in a local yarn store as someone who prefer crochets.
