I LOVE this place

by Jenflips

This is truly my favorite shop in the Eagle River/Anchorage area. It is an art gallery with heart. I feel like family when I go in there. I regularly shop for gifts there because I know I will find something unique. I have also taken a stained glass class and have fallen in love. I know I can ask questions of the knowledgeable staff, and the owner has even called her artist daughter to answer a question for me. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area, it is a delight.

P.S. the class policies are clearly outlined on the paper you sign and are explained by the owner before you pay. There are no suprises about the no refund policy.

• Pros: Wonderful, creative artwork and glass supplies
• Cons: not enough time or money to spend there

I like this shop and the owners

I started buying glass from this store last fall. They have always been very helpful, friendly and have given me many tips and suggestions that have saved me time, money and frustration. They have a wide selection of glass, are willing to cut reasonable sizes and also have small pieces to choose from. I'd shop there more often, but live in Anchorage. Yes the owner has a strong personality, but also cares about her shop and customers. I will continue to drive out there at least once a month. They also have a regular buyers savings card which comes in handy. Connie

Enter at Your Own Risk!

I too had a run-in with the co-owner, a former middle school teacher who treats customers like kids. Earlier in the year I took a glass class from her. She gets impatient with everyone, and I'm not going to take that from anyone. I'm an adult, and I don't need another mother!

The shop has some very cool artwork, and I've bought some, but I have to brace myself when I go in there not knowing what kind of a mood she will be in. This is the mother, I have not met the artist daughter, who perhaps deals with customers in a friendlier, and more adult manner.

My recommendation: BEWARE OF OWNER!
