Had a fun time crafting on a weekend afternoon. Wasn't quite sure what to expect but ultimately was pleased with the experience. I was hoping for more instruction with the craft, but staff did help when I asked them directly. Basically, they check you in, you sign a waiver, and they show you where you'll sit. You look over the craft and drink menus while staff checks in everyone else scheduled for that session. Staff move around the room and takes everyone's drink order first, then after drinks are delivered, they come around for craft orders. This setup meant we didn't start the actual crafting until 30min after we arrived. Everyone gets a packet with instructions and the supplies unique to their chosen craft. Other supplies are located on the table and around the room. It's a bit of a free for all and if you want help or a second drink, you need to be proactive. Checkout was a bit chaotic, with the next session's guests checking in and us cashing out and only one staff member taking care of all that. Overall, I'm glad I tried it.

This place is so awesome! First it's back in a cute little alley and alcove and it's so well decorated. The inside is so cute too! We went in and got to pick from a drink menu and a craft menu and they had everything we needed and didn't press us to finish or rush. We got to spend our whole afternoon hanging out and crafting and it was so cute! I will be back!

My group decided on this place after another place didn't work out. Glad we found it! It was a great time had by all. The owner had to come in to take care of something on a Saturday evening. Made it all work out. We all got to pick something to make. Awesome! Would do it again.

I went to the Craftery with friends and got a new macramé hanging plant holder ($34). It was one of the easier crafts that took 45 minutes to 1 hour. I also got a cran-ginger mimosa. The projects are completely DIY. You use the directions to complete the project of your choice and get help as needed. I definitely enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It is a cool place to go with friends.

Learning leatherworking at the Craftery! It was hard to decide what to make because there were so many great options Finally settled on a custom leather flask cover for some Apple Pie moonshine. Each person gets a bucket with the supplies and a photo guide of how to do the crafts. The staff were knowledgeable and encouraging. This is definitely a place I'd love to come back to again & again in Nulu. Perfect for making one of a kind gifts or spending quality time with someone.

Disclaimer: I am severely unartistic and I even had fun here!!! The Craftery is located in the Nulu Marketplace so a great location near some awesome restaurants. The inside is very cute and artsy with long tables for you and your friends to craft at. My fiancé and I went here with another couple this past fall and it was such a fun double date idea! We picked our crafts from a long list of options, ordered some seasonal drinks from the bar, and got to work crafting! We had so much fun and lots of laughs here and would totally recommend it for a date night or girls activity!

Omgosh!! The Craftery is the most fun I have had in a while. Super cute, fun, & a great place to hang out & be creative! My niece & I enjoyed the afternoon there. This is a craft store where you pick a project, they provide all tools & supplies that you need, & you then you create your masterpiece. Don't worry, the staff is there if you need help. It has a bar with great drinks & you can bring in food (bonus: Emmy Squared next door has great pizza)!We made a macrame hanger & planter. It was a fantastic afternoon (open air venue is a bonus as well). I highly recommend checking it out.

Paige and Emma made our first experience at The Craftery exceptional. Definitely a place to check out if you're visiting Louisville. Super friendly and fun environment. Great cocktails to top it all off.

I'm very disappointed in my experience here today. On July 23rd I reserved the "Makers with Mimosas" 12-3 time slot for August 25th for a group of 15 girls. After some changes with the group I emailed on August 6th and asked to change the number of people to 10 and the management team thanked me for the update in the reservation. In the same email, I also asked if the reservation meant we had to show up at 12:30 (this is the latest check in time you are able to choose on the website for the 12-3 slot) or if we just had to show up and complete crafts within the time frame. This was previously allowed, but I knew management had changed so I wanted to do my due diligence, and not just assume. The management team responded on August 8, and said "Yes, that is still fine!!" *emailing with management was timely and helpful*When we showed up today, the staff members were very rude to us when we tried to check in. One staff member said "I had you down for 12:30", and I responded that I had checked with the management team previously and had our later arrival approved and offered to show the email correspondence. The staff member just said "no one told me that" and walked away. Once they came back, they told us to sign waivers and go sit in the back empty table. We did so, and a different staff member came to the table and asked if it was still 15 people, which confirmed the first staff members issue of "no one told me" regarding the email correspondence. We decided to leave after three staff members made it very evident our party was not welcomed (we had not ordered anything yet). I let the staff member know we were going to head out because we didn't want to inconvenience them any further and everyone in our party was very uncomfortable. The tune completely changed to positive and "no you all are totally fine!" Don't get me wrong, I know we all have bad days. I do my best to be understanding; especially because I know how much it can suck to work in customer service but the response from all three staff members seemed a bit uncalled for. I'm hoping we just caught them on a bad day!
