People Reviews
As in other businesses, customers opinions are a decisive factor in deciding whether or not to go somewhere. Because of this, here are some comments about the experience in Studio Oddities:
«Good for newbies who’ve never tufted before. My girlfriend and I went to a workshop, where it was just the instructor and us two. spent ~2 hours and we each finished a small piece (mine took longer due to the complexity). everything was ready to go when we got there, instructor was experienced and the end pieces we went home with were way more impressive than expected, mostly because of the guidance. tons of different yarn colors.
It was a very therapeutic experience – would go again to do a larger piece. My recommendation would be to think of what you want to tuft before you get there so you have the design ready on your phone to go off of.» – Albert
«Had a mixup while booking at this place, but the store was lenient enough to give a last minute refund. Although I haven’t been to this place physically, the communications with the customer service through email were prompt and patient. Seem like they have great staff!» – Andy
