We did the watercolor leaf art class (did several this past summer). It was fun. My kid painted 3 different paintings. And I couldn't help but paint myself. nod

Can someone on the East Coast or any other time zone that goes put up a review after so we here on the West Coast know if this is mostly for children or if it is ok for adults too? Are they using somewhat nice beads or just pony beads (kids camp level kind of stuff)? I can be a kid at heart but I also don't want to go and its all aimed at 6 year olds (including 6 year old fashion senses). Hoping this is more in the style of eras tour friendship bracelets and not preschool mother's day gifts.

I know it's late to reply to this at this juncture but it may help some in the future. Adults and kids participated but we did not stay. Imagine a 6 ft. long folding table with 2 small boxes of beads (kit), crowd of kids and adults with not enough room, 1 Michael's attendant manning the spool of bracelet string and cutting it for you, big and little fists trying to grab beads out of teeny tiny, little segregated box at once. They had a box of pony beads and a box of these pastel, semi transparent round beads. I would not bother.

I ended up going too and didn't go inside the craft room after peeking in. I saw some kids leaving with the pony bead bracelets and knew it was not really for adults. Ours was somewhat better with 2 tables and I saw maybe 3 boxes of beads. After I saw what the beads looked like from afar, I went to the bead aisle to see what likely they were using. Decided nope, even if I made one, I wouldn't be wearing it.

I was really hoping they would have some letter beads or smaller beads since we know they obviously were inspired by the Eras Tour. Ha definitely didn't need to RSVP through their online sign up sheet. Prob fun little thing to take kids if in the area. Was hoping it would be more like those Home Depot type crafts but also adult enjoyable.
