Due to the current health risks (COVID-19) surrounding our communities, along with the recent statewide school closings, we have decided to  TEMPORAILY CLOSE our art studio until further notice. 

As a small business, this was a very tough decision to make but we feel it is the best decision to help protect our employees, customers, and also to support/encourage the public to exercise social-distancing during this time of uncertainty.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we will keep you updated throughout the week of any changes that may come up. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email us at [email protected]

Thank you for you understanding,

GMAS Staff

UPDATE 3/20/2020

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to so a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has been supporting our small business during this time of uncertainty. We were able to put together close to 90 to-go canvas kits in the last couple of days which has been a huge help for us as we sit a wait till the day we are able to re-open our studio. 

At this time, we have ran out of some of our supplies for the to-go canvas kits. We are going to try to replenish them over the weekend and we will let you know if they become available again. 

My focus now will be to continue dipping and firing pottery pieces for the people that were at our studio prior to our shutdown. We do apologize, as there will be a bit of delay when getting your pieces back as it's been a bit hectic around here with everything going on.

Our studio will remain temporarily closed indefinitely at this point, until Minnesota Governor Walz gives our type of establishment the go ahead to re-open. We will let you know as soon as we know. For next week, I shall be at the studio for pottery pick-ups on Monday 3/23, Wednesday 3/25, and Friday 3/27 from 11am-3pm.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us via email as this will be the best form of contact at this point.

Thank you all for your support and understanding!

UPDATE 3/22/2020

Hope all is well with everyone!

We were able to restock our supplies for the to-go canvas kits plus added some new transfer themes! Please view the details below! Due to the HIGH DEMAND for these to-go canvas painting kits, we do ask that customers to please return brushes as soon as they have completed their canvas kits and when it's convenient  for them. We have put a bucket outside our front door for you to easily return the brushes. Again, all the community support is greatly appreciated!

Another way that our customers can help support our business, is by purchasing gift cards now and using them at a later date once we re-open the studio. We will be adding a bonus amount onto each card as a way to say thank you for all of your support!

-Purchase a $30 gift card to get a bonus $5 (Total: $35 on single card)

-Purchase a $50 gift card to get a bonus $10 (Total: $60 on single card)

(*Gift cards can not be split up onto multiples gift cards or to be used on the to-go kits. Offer end at 3pm on Friday, 3/27/2020)

Gift cards must be purchased over the phone and can be picked up during our temporary hours listed or we can hold onto the gift cards and they can be picked up at a later date once we have re-opened.

For this upcoming week, we shall be available at the studio for to-go canvas kits & pottery pick-ups on Monday 3/23, Wednesday 3/25, and Friday 3/27 from 11am-3pm. 

At this time, all events have been postponed for the remainder of March and April. We do plan to reschedule these events for later dates once we are able to re-open but don't have dates put together as of yet due to the COVID-19 situation. We are taking things day by day at this point and this has been hard on our small business. At this time, we would greatly appreciate it if customers could hold off until the rescheduled dates to decide what they would like to do or even by doing a gift card as a refund for these events. If a refund put back to the way you had paid is necessary on your end, please let us know. If you request a refund, keep in mind there will be no guarantee to get your spot back for the event once it is rescheduled. 

We are still at our current location which is across from Target. Our new location will be located at 131 Lake Street N in Forest Lake which we are planning to be moved into the beginning of May.

Thank you!
