Fleur — Attraction in Denver

Great for the first 2 hours of class, then the last hour the instructor/owner was stressed, weird vibes, and rushing around fielding people walking in. Having a class/studio time start the second our class ended with no gap is a detriment to the experience of students. Paid $250(2 spots) bc a friend was sick, and she wouldn’t drill a hole in my second pair of earrings so I could finish them at home. It was 4 minutes past, which I get, understandable, but maybe a.. “if you want to come back here’s another time I’ll be here, or you come back for workshop hours…” She told someone else in our group she couldn’t have another blade and discouraged her to keep trying before class ended. Switched from, “use as many blades as you need, they break” to “no sorry maybe you should just sit tight.” I was super excited about this place, maybe she was having an off day, or was frustrated with our group. I’ll give it another try, but currently mixed feelings, overpriced and not as chill and fun as expected. Maybe beginners need more time to play to make this...

Took a ring making workshop with Lenora and it was such a hoot. Very fun and with an amazing product resulting from the fun! Lenora was really knowledgeable and fun to chat with which, coupled with the focused craft activity, made the time fly by. The space was open and inviting and had everything we needed to craft some cool jewelry. I look forward to the next chance I get to work...

In my experience this is not friendly place. I found the owner, Allie, to be pretty vindictive despite acting nice at first. It felt like a weird 30 something year old’s version of a high school clique. Just be careful if you want to get involved in the studio community. There are plenty of other good art studios around that don’t have this weird...
