Best Craft Courses In Detroit Near Me

Nicole Bosca: Thank you for an awesome experience for my nieces and I! The instructor was amazing. We were there for the younger ones 7th birthday, and when she would eventually go out of lines / mix colors, she would get frustrated and turn it into an abstract piece. Our instructor encouraged her and let her use two canvasses herself so my other neice and I could finish ours which I thought was generous. But as our instructor finished her teaching piece, she gave it to my neice to touch up so she could have a unicorn painting to bring home too. I expected the lesson to be instructional, but her ability to work so well with children was above and beyond. Thank you!!!

Marissa Morrison: Did a private lesson with Michael and he was an amazing instructor. Super informative and genuine! :)

Kayla Elizabeth: So this was one of the coolest pieces of art I've ever made. I did the Wheel Throwing and the person who taught me was very good at showing me what to do and was very helpful along the way. I noticed a birthday party in the room next to me with a bunch of children and the person teaching the kids was very nice sounding and sweet with them. These people definitely know what they are doing and are very nice. I 100% recommend! (I have pictures below of the bowl I made!)

Keith Mandell: Great time. In a great area

Ashley B: From what I heard they had the best selection of ceramics to pick from and paint and they did not lie! This is a cool little spot to really get creative and learn a new skill like pottery, glass fusing, or even canvas painting and ceramic paintings of course. Me and two friends went and learned how to make a bowl and got to paint it at the end. An experience I recommend it was such a relaxing and yet fun experience with our instructor Ben who was so nice as he guided us through the class. There is something for everyone even the little ones! In fact there was a table with kids painting ceramics when I first arrived! They have everything you need to create something unique and special. I look forward to visiting more often and with the kids.

Andrew Handal: Fun to do but poor results. We were told that they would cut off/modify the bottom of one bowl and they never did leaving it in a weird shape. For the other one that turned into more of a plate, it cracked a lot on the inner rim and wasn’t even filled by anything. Just a cracked, unusable plate now. Kind of feels like we got sold a broken product lol. If it’s finished and looks fine and then cracks when they’re responsible for it it feels kind of weird that it becomes our problem to deal with an unusable plate lol.

Savanna Vo: I had a great time with my friends. Our instructor, Ben, was very kind and did an amazing job demonstrating how to make the bowls. The customer service was also great. I would definitely recommend going, it was a very fun experience

Kylie Newman: This is one of my favorite places in the area for crafty things. I tend to go once a month at minimum. I find the staff are always very clear about pricing, length of time it takes for projects to be ready, and instructions for the project.They are significantly busier this year than they were at the same time last year. At this point in time I highly recommend making a reservation for the weekends.Comments for the studio:All the staff are amazing! Everyone is incredibly friendly and patient.When are you guys going to expand? 😝I want to keep showing off this gem!

Jessica “Jade” M: My husband and I did the wheel throwing class. It was surprisingly fun and relaxing. It was also reasonably priced. It took a few weeks to get the finished product but we love the bowls we made. This place offers a lot of other ways to be creative so check them out.

Keisha “Keisha” E: This place is awesome! Located in Royal Oak, Mi. If you’re looking for something different to do. This is perfect. Perfect for kids, a date, family outing, the elderly, date night or a solo trip. Painting is very therapeutic and can be a stress reliever. You pick your item to paint off one of the tables or shelves. Whatever price that’s on it that’s what you pay for. Item prices range from $13-$200. It’s also a studio fee. They have plenty of colors to choose from. They offer walk in projects wish include pottery painting, mosaics and glass fusing. They also have appointment only projects. Which include canvas painting, wheel throwing and wood board pallet painting. They also have a party room you can rent. Although they do take walk-ins. It’s small inside so it’s best to make reservations. You have to leave your item and pick it up in 2 weeks. Because it has to be set. They have Art Kits To Go that can be delivered or you can do Curbside Pickup. They are open Monday – Friday: 11:00 am – 8:00 pm. Saturday: 11:00 am – 9:00 pm and Sunday: 12:00 – 6:00 pm.

Mariam N: Great experience! 1 hour private wheel throwing session with BenWe can’t wait to see our final results!

Sita Sita: Excellent atmosphere and lots of options to explore your creativity

Grdgory Truskowski: Nice place,parking a challenge

Megan McKenna: Our party of 5 made reservations for the 1 hour wheel throwing class. We had a fantastic experience. Emma was our instructor and could not have been more patient with us! We were all new to this and had no idea what we were doing. She was able to guide us and help each one of us as needed. We laughed the entire time and had a blast. Emma deserves a million stars. We were each able to make wonderful pieces! We would love to come back and have her be our instructor for the 6 week class! We’ve been raving about our day since we left. We’re looking forward to our next experience with your studio.

Kelli Thomas: We had a lot of fun! Hardest part was picking out what we were going to paint! Definitely going again.

Conise Curry: Was one of my fav places until I went back to get my two pieces and they where no longer there! Like what did y’all do with it? I literally called 2 weeks ago to see if my pieces was still there I was told yea, drive there and Nothg, they didn’t even compensate me like whatttt.

Niles Larson: Fantastic staff and great experience!

Media One: First time here came out with the wife will definitely come back. Didn't take any pictures cuz I was too busy getting f***** up. Have a great night everyone

Joseph Michael Pellerito Jr.: This is one of the truly unique places in Metro Detroit where you can work with amazing professionals, such as Rachel, and create your own three dimensional art and family keepsake!

Mark Sobolewski: Took 3/6 of the intro wheel throwing. I enjoyed the opportunity to work with clay for the first time, but beyond learning to center and some tool basics, it really felt more like open studio time, and not like much of a directed class. I wish we would have had a little more consistency with who was leading the class, and planned projects. I had no idea what to make or how to make it. If we were all working on creating the same objects there would be more opportunity for everyone to learn. I felt a bit lost and stopped attending. Definitely think the class sizes should be smaller.

April Donaldson: One of my favorite places to spend time with friends. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! Bring some snacks, wine, and friends and have a great time creating crafts together.

Dee: I had a wonderful time at AR Workshop. They have a fail-proof system that ensures that your item looks beautiful in the end. The people who work there are wonderfully helpful and patient. I highly recommend it, especially in a group which makes it so much fun

Jean Candee: Such a fun place for birthday parties, kids or adults!

Jessica Boyd: I had the best time!

Caroline McGlynn: So much fun! We did this for my bachelorette party and it was nice because it was DIFFERENT. Loved the intimacy and our helper Aly was wonderful! Prices were reasonable, super easy to follow along, and the quality of the woodwork is great. The staff knows what they are doing and I cannot wait to come back with my stepdaughter.

Tamara Regnier: Such a fun place for a girls night! The owner and staff were so kind and helpful. Will definitely do it again.

Tracey Morris: This was a fun experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. My project was easy to complete. I made a basketball wall hanging for my husband's man cave and he loves it. I'm definitely planning to go back with friends very soon.

Emily Pitcher: AR Workshop Ferndale was an absolute blast! We went for my sister’s bachelorette party weekend and Katie was fabulous and went way above and beyond for our group! We had to leave prior to finishing our projects on Saturday evening and Katie was so kind as to come in on her day off on Sunday to be sure we could finish our projects. That was so so kind and I truly appreciate her! I definitely recommend coming here for a fun day out with the girls! I cannot wait to go again! Thank you so much Katie at AR Workshop Ferndale! We will be back! :)

Aubrie Franz: Awesome experience!

Megan Foley: We had my bachelorette party here last weekend. The ladies who helped us were so kind and helpful! There were no mistakes made that they couldn't fix. Everything turned out beautifully and we were thrilled to spend our day at AR. I can't wait to hang my new sign up and visit AR again in the future!

KIM BOYER: Great outing with coworkers. All our projects came out FANTASTIC!! The staff was patient and accommodating and had great recommendations!! Thanks for a great experience!!🤗🤗

Pamela Eidt: Second time I've been here in a month! Such a blast and all of the projects turned out great!

Kathrin Reutter (Expat.travel.mom): I usually go to a different AR Workshop but this one is closer to my friend so we tried this one. The first time I was there I had a little issue with my project and I wasn't very happy about it. Katie, the owner, reached out to me and handled the problem as professional as anyone could. The second time I received the service, fun and experience I am expecting when I go to an AR workshop. If you want to support a small local business I highly recommend going there and have a fun night out with your pals.

Christopher Williams: Great experience. The projects came out fantastic and the staff was very nice and helpful. Fun evening with friends.

Megan O'Dowd: Super fun, the cutest location, amazing crew! 10/10 recommend especially for a group!!

Alissa Mellis-Gruba: Can’t say enough great things about this place! I brought my goddaughter to a class recently and we had such a fun time working on our projects together. Katie and Staff were super knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly. We learned new skills and came away with art for our walls. The website is helpful to get ideas for what you want to do. When you’re there you get inspired with all the possibilities. Excited to book another class soon

Emily Hatfield Collias: Love AR Workshop Ferndale! The classes guide you through each step to help you create a project uniquely yours. Fun way to hang with friends while creating something new. Also love the classes and take away projects for kids!! 💚
