Heart & Soul Studios - Bainbridge Island — Local services in Bainbridge Island

We were really hoping to enjoy our experience here! Our friends have lived on the island for ever and we just purchased a home here. Weand thought that this would be a great place for our kiddos to come and/or a great place for us to have a little date night. Either way, our experience was not pleasant to say the LEAST. The owner has zero control over her dog which incessantly barks, barks, barks, and barks. We are dog lovers and were sad to see dogs that were so insecure that all they can do is bark and bark. Also, the owner had some very nasty things to say about some of the island residents!!! Not great for business. The first time we stopped in we decided that it wasn't going to be a great place for our kiddos as our friend's youngest can be overstimulated. The cabinet doors take quite a beating here, apppartley. Yikes. We were sad that we had carved out precious time to subjected to useless negative gossip and chaos. She should try to be more positive and accommodating to people and maybe she wouldn't have such nasty things to say. Also, dogs only bark like this when they are desperately in need of a trainer. Boundries and training make the dog feel more secure. Maybe it's all the banging. eek. Hopefully, she will take some of this into consideration so that she can run a business and not a banging, clanging, barking kennel/arts and crafts store. Geeesh! We are not the only people who share this opinion. I just think we're the only ones brave enough to speak up and maybe be a part of that gossipy speak....

Lori, We are so sorry to hear about your car accident and are so happy to hear that you have a passion project. I'm glad to hear that you enjoy giving back to your community. We all still stand by the review. I still recommend taking into consideration some of the things that you have said about community members that have been so negative, especially if you are wanting to make a positive impact with your newest endeavor. We wish you all the best and hope your heart heals up soon! You are right about positive comments, actions and emotions making a big impact! Negativity does that same and sadly some people are simply unable to take ownership of their actions or simply are not ready. Perhaps with your new endeavor you will come to be able to do so. Deflecting is only beneficial to defend not MEND. I'm sorry that you experienced such a "dark time" as you called it. I hope you can transcend some of that darkness and propel your speech into a more positive "vibration" as you would say. I wish you pup some peace as well. We had a great lunch at the Good Egg the other day and could hear your buddy all the down the line. Best of...

Where do I start... Lori and Tiffany hosted 30 of us yesterday for a private event and they were the best hosts everrrrrrr! The art studio is huge, beautiful and very welcoming. Everyone's place mats/ water dishes, paint brushes were all organized around 5 tables. They had background music playing. It was PERFECT! They provided extra tables with table clothes for our food and drinks I forgot crackers, she supplied them I forgot ice for drinks, she ran to the store and got some. We didn't have a cart to move the food from the market to the studio, she picked up everything from the store and brought it to the studio. Helped every single person that raised a hand Provided our banquet permit so we could sip wine When we finished up, she cleaned up all the food and drinks and returned the wood platters back to the grocery store. Answered all our questions, w/out hesitation I couldn't ask for a better host. Lori & Tiffany are THE BEST. Book with them and you will have a great time! I will definitely...

Lori was incredibly welcoming and gracious! We came in as a couple close to closing time, expecting to have to book an appointment and pay considerable studio fees; we were pleasantly surprised to hear that we could paint right away and that studio fees were only $5 each. The options for paint and ceramics were ample, the service was kind, and we were even able to get our pieces fired and shipped to us in time for Christmas. This place makes a lovely and reasonably-priced date night - absolutely worth...
