This place has so many different projects to do that will satisfy the little crafty bug in you! Staff is super helpful and even if you come alone you will leave with newfound friendships. Very reasonably priced, too.

Wonderful experience for any group to come and enjoy their time getting out of their comfort zone and channeling their inner Joanna Gaines. Would be a fun date night experience also! Lots of ways to enter to win a free workshop.

I was invited for a birthday party. Although it was hard for me to choose a project online, the experience was VERY fun and I love my piece even more than I had hoped! Great night and very cute gift shop! I will go back again.

I cannot say enough about this place! So much fun for a date night or a girls night. Even flying solo everyone is so friendly! I have been 5 times over the years since they opened and each time I look forward to the next time I can return. Even those who are not artistic like myself can come out with a masterpiece that looks professionally made. Assistants are always so helpful and the customer service when I have had questions through email is great!

I just finished my vintage ceramic Christmas Tree workshop. What fun. I would do it every Sunday afternoon until Christmas if they had space. The trees everyone made were beautiful. And the instructors were very helpful. Thanks Makers Market. I will be back.

What a great place for a girls night out! My mother in law and sister in law went to this place and we had such a blast! My first time using power tools and it was easier than I thought! The staff are extremely helpful in making sure you are making exactly what you want. Us girls sure had a blast bonding and building signs!

Whether you have an artistic flair or need help finding it, Makers Market workshops supply the tools, materials, expertise and encouragement to create a piece of art youll be proud to have made. Im one of the ones who needs help finding my artistic side but everything came together beautifully with the clear instructions and the guidance you receive. It was a fun experience and great way to build a connection with my co-workers.

My 8 year old daughter and I went on a Saturday morning for a class. The instructors were great in working with my daughter, providing instructors and assistance as needed. It was super easy and fun. Great way to spend some quality time with kids. Would also make a great girls night.

Had my first experience last night at Makers Market with a group of girls I work with. Holy cow did we have fun! The owner and artists that help you are so kind...and funny! The works of art came out perfect! They also have the cutest boutique with unique gifts that you dont find in other big chain places. They help to sell locally made items, which is is absolutely outstanding in my book! This is definitely something that I will do again!

Makers Market DIY is the best place for friends, fun and making amazing projects. My plank sign came out perfectly thanks to the staff and well thought out process - the gals there gave me just enough help and cracked a few jokes in the process!

Review №33

Overall the experience was fun and I got to go home with a great piece wall art. I arrived 45 min late because I forgot I was supposed to be meeting friends. I came in and followed the printed directions and did not ask for help. I quickly caught up with my classmates (I’m a fairly crafty person and decisive), but when I needed my stencil applied I felt that the two ladies assisting were very rude to me, to the point where my friends noticed. They were very patient with others who had many questions. So if you want a great experience...don’t be late.

Attended my first class for their Valentine’s Day date night function and had without a doubt one the best dates with my other half! Our instructor Barbara was positively amazing, she knew by the looks on our face that we were a little overwhelmed and guided us every step of our project! By the end we felt like professional “makers”! 10/10 Would highly recommend this to any couples or just individuals look for a fun personalized project! Thank you Makers Market and Barbara for such a memorable night, we WILL be back!

Review №41

I picked this place for a date night with my boyfriend. Weve done crafty things together and typically enjoy it. However, leaving with what looked like professionally made signs for our new home exceeded our expectations! Our date actually started a couple days prior because it was really fun choosing our designs together. Then, we got there and the staff explains what to do step by step. They couldnt have been more helpful. From knowing what colors would look good together (my boyfriends favorite color is hunter green. We have no hunter green in our house....teal but no hunter green. The staff helped me feel comfortable by helping him incorporate it into his piece and assuring me it wouldnt be the focus point. It turned out GREAT! lol) to answering any questions to helping to apply your stencil. My boyfriend was the only guy there which is a shame because its s great date night! We couldnt stop talking about how great it was the whole way home. Try it. Oh and they encourage BYOB and snacks. Thanks The Makers Market! We will be back sometime soon.

Review №43

We had a lot of fun making the project. But the shop didn’t have us on the list for some reason, so our custom design wasn’t printed out. One of the owners stopped by to print out our stencils for us (which was very nice), but unfortunately the year was printed wrong on my stencil. One of the workers free handed it on my painting and you can only tell it is different than the others if you’re up close. But for the price I feel like you should get what you paid for. Overall, it was a fun experience and the workers are helpful.

Looking for a fun and creative way to spend time with friends or celebrate a birthday (or perhaps just making it through another workweek?) Look no further! The Makers Market and Workshops is the new, creative outlet youve been craving. Come as group or an individual and receive the materials, tools, and easy-to-follow instructions and leave with a DIY project YOU proudly made yourself for yourself or for a gift. Speaking of gifts, just want to stop in and buy a present for someone (or yourself)? The boutique area will offer one-of-a-kind items made my local artisans as well as hand-picked favorites you cant find anywhere else in town. Locally owned. Run by amazing women. Youll love The Makers Market and Workshops!

Had so many friends rave about their experiences here so I had to come check it out! We did a girls night out last night with Jenny and her team and we had an absolute blast. They were very sweet, so helpful and patient! I am not so great on the crafty side so it was awesome to have them literally walk me step by step through the process. The girls I was with had been before (3 or more times) and also had a great time. Thanks so much to Jenny and the other ladies for a great night out. Cant wait to do another one (Ive got my eye on the clock workshop!)

Review №59

A great place to make wooden projects - even if you arent crafty! The hardest part is choosing WHICH of their awesome projects to make! There are so many ways to customize them... The size, framed or not, the writing that goes on it, etc. Once youve made that decision (online when you book the class), then youre ready for the day of the class.A clean, well-lit work studio with multiple tables and bar stools, youll find your way to your creative side! After putting on one of the aprons provided, youre ready to start. Theres plenty of instructions (verbal and typed up in case you werent listening), and the instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and easy going. Im not going to lie, choosing the colors for your project is a bit intimidating and its right at the beginning - so it can be scary. Feel free to ask for help selecting your colors, but try to focus on whatever colors you like for your decor (unless its a gift), and youll be fine!Youll do some sanding, painting, drying, more sanding, more painting, more drying, and lots of smiling and relaxing too! Bring snacks or drinks if you want to enjoy them while you work (some wine can take the edge off the decision making!), and try not to stress over your project. Theyll help you fix mistakes and provide as much help as you request. Some people fly along and are done in under 2 hours, while others may be a little more focused on details and take up to 3 hours. Everyone works at their own pace, so no worries!They provide everything you need - from the wood to the paint and stain to the stencils to hanging brackets and even decorative ribbons and glitter!This is really a fun place to be creative and tap into your crafty side! We knew we wanted to do more projects before we were even finished with our projects tonight!Great for friends, sisters, groups, family members, so many options! If youre not sure, just swing by and talk to them and check out some of the examples they have... Its worth it!

What an amazing and unique business, where everyday people can truly make something personal and memorable, rather than buying something cheap knockoff from China. I am thrilled that this type of establishment is nearby. The classes have such variety. And the owner really knows what she is doing and is just a natural with the projects.
