Emily is very patient and encouraging. I have learned so much and have beautiful art pieces to take home. 3 per class. Great supervised teen date night too! Zoe and Carlo had a blast.

The studio is a big house on a corner lot that's been transformed into a cute and cozy art studio…read more My son spent three hours here today with Sarah for the lego workshop. Sarah is very friendly and professional, my son loved her and is already asking to go back for another class. He was able to make mini-fig crayons, a mini-fig keychain, a working lego clock, and a lego decorated photo frame. It's nice that they allow the parents to either stay or leave while their kiddo is busy in the studio. They do have a refreshment area with coffee, tea and little treats to snack on. I plan to take an adult class for myself in the future and of course sign my child up again for some more fun. :)

Kelly's Art Shack is a trendy art studio in the middle of Historic Downtown McKinney…read more This kid-friendly space has activities like video games, board games and even cornhole out on the beautiful courtyard (decorated completely by the owner, Kelly, herself) that is attached to the gallery. I loved relaxing here with co-workers in the evening, not to mention that view of the McKinney water tower from the patio at night cannot be beat. I highly recommend coming to see the unique artwork. My favorite piece was a large, canvas painting of "Woodstock '69," so as soon as I saw it, I had to take home the original before there were only prints available. The art is so affordable and better yet, when you purchase one you become an "artster," which comes with membership benefits. I can't wait for the next live music show and I am hoping to attend a paint party soon. I may even try to book this event space for my toddler's birthday party!

She has a great mix of antiques and things for decorating a back yard garden, an elegant front porch or a charming sunroom. She also has some of the neatest novelty items and great prices. There was a huge three-tiered plant stand for $85 the time before last that I was in. I stopped in today and she has a stock of Tibetan prayer flags. Some of the antique items can be expensive but you'd be surprised at how affordable most of the other items - particularly furniture-type items can be.

We've been going to him for 1 year.

The candle making process is quick, but could take a while to decide which scents, colors, and logos you want. Keep in mind, the candles will take about an hour to set enough before you can take them home. We went before lunch, and ate in the area, then easily came back to pick up our lovely creations!

Wow! Do it yourself paradise has been located in Frisco! We fell in love with the chunky blankets…read moreand made two of them with our favorite colors to take home. The great thing about this place is you not only get the cool items but also the fun experience of learning how to make them. The staff took all of the worries out of it as they helped us throughout the process so we would have a good result. I have several gift ideas lined up and there's just something incredibly satisfying about being able to present a gift and say "I made this!". There's a lot of customization options too, so you can use your own names, phrases, etc. when you plan to make some of the items that have painted, stenciled artwork on them. I'm looking forward to making a little party out of this on our next visit, and apparently we can bring our own wine and beer. This place has a cheerful atmosphere with soothing colors and everything we need was already prepared for us. No stress involved, and no clean up as well. I found this place behind The Cotton Patch on Preston Road in Frisco. It's in the little courtyard there between Cotton Patch and Genghis Grill. Plenty of parking.
