There are at least four different buildings here, offering the artistic or crafty person the materials, space and guidance to do mosaics, fused glass, ceramics (painting already molded and fired greenware), painting on canvas, wood or metal, stamped jewelry, etc. You pick an item to do that has a set price, and then the staff guides you how make the item, supplying the tools and materials. You can come back on subsequent days to complete your project, or if doing ceramics or fused glass, come back to pick up your item after it has been fired in the kiln and cooled. Why isn't something like this near the Chicago burbs? So cool! You can enjoy trying so many things without investing in all the expensive equipment necessary to do so!

Friendly and fun staff. Fairly reasonable prices. 4 year old painted at wood fairy castle plaque, my husband did a pineapple and I did a wine glass and it was around $35 total. I would’ve liked to do a mosaic or glass project, looked like they has a lot to offer in those areas too, but kiddo has a fairly short attention span! They did offer drinks to purchase and a patio area with lawn games. Great for a rainy day and to bring home a souvenir of your trip.

I love this place. I went several hours every morning for 4 days. I did wander through all of the studios and considered several, but ended up spending all of my time in the glass studio. The gal working there was very helpful with techniques and how to information. There was no pressure to hurry and finish a project... It was relaxing to be able to play with the glass and change ideas as I went until I had exactly the pieces I wanted. It's a long drive to get there, but I can't wait to go back next spring with a girlfriend and spend more time. Ohh.... It wasn't terribly crowded when I was there, so I had no problems parking my 25' RV. If you get there, and there's no room to park a camper, you might go inside and ask about alternatives at the check in station
