      Fun and original activity

      Jeff_W, Aug 2026
      We got to create beautiful pieces and take something home to remember the trip. She had samples there so you didn't have to be super creative, which helped me. All three of us created today different art. We paid a little extra to upgrade from a keychain piece to a nicer wooden ring box. Highly recommend.

      A fun break in the day

      Our session learning how to make rings with mother of pearl was very fun! Our instructor was kind and patient and extremely knowledgeable. We will definitely go back to make more when we visit again!

      Nice but 4 flights of stairs

      It was a good experience once we got there. I would have liked an address that shows up on gps then Directions upfront that there is a side entrance and there are 4 flights of stairs ( no elevator) to get to the workshop.

      Lovely morning activity

      Amie_W, Jun 2025
      What a lovely way to spend an hour!!! Very relaxing activity in a cute little studio. Teacher was great and really helpful. We both made a mirror and were very happy with our souvenir. Thank you for a great morning 😊 FYI...the entrance is around the side of the coffee shop downstairs. Look for the pink studio sign.
