“What a wonderful store! I was looking for a few pens to use with my journal recently and a friend recommended PlayTime. I had no idea what a treasure trove to discover here. We’ve been back multiple times to buy picture frames, valentines, kids’ puzzles, party supplies, fabric patches and more.”
“Truly amazing store, absolutely stunning items everywhere! Owner is by FAR the nicest person I have met in a long time. Hidden treasure of a store, DEFINITELY worth checking out!!!!
?❤️”
“I was surprised by the variety of craft supplies they had. They really seem to have everything, I got everything on my wishlist and more!! Will come back the next time I run out of beads :)”
“I went to exchange a faulty screen printing kit, they were courteous and understanding. I appreciated the customer support. Will come back again for more supplies!”

“We recently booked this place for a friend's milestone birthday. The instructor was amazing and very thorough. She patiently explained what mosaic art was and what an artist inside us could do. The choices of mosaic are just outstanding that includes glass, stones and metals if we needed to go wild. The place is very clean and the instructor never rushed us. Worth a class or more if you live around.”
“This store was fantastic! Besides being neat and organized, I enjoyed browsing this store and seeing all of the stationery items! I bought a pack of Writech gel pens for journaling, and I loved the station where you could test out the pens!”
“This store has an insanely awesome paper collection and all around super great selection of art supplies. The people that work there are SO kind and understanding!!! It’s inside of the SMFA (an art school) so it’s tailored to working artists!! And the employees themselves are practicing artists too so they give great advice on projects etc. 10/10 would recommend”
“The store is very big and has a little of everything, as you can see from my pictures.
A lot of things were out of stock (like the whole section of textile), but I guess it is understandable in the very beginning of the academic year.
In general - a very useful place in this location of Boston, as everything else with crafts and art supplies is not close by... except the Tufts art store near MFA, but it is tiny and doesn't have much.”
“I stopped by the store hoping to find everything I needed to create a DIY guest scrapbook, but I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for (I’m extremely detail-oriented!). Fortunately, the wonderful Helen came to the rescue. She was attentive, helpful, polite, and genuinely kind throughout the entire experience.
The store is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth a visit! Thank you, Helen, for all your help. Liam’s grandpa truly appreciates it!”
“Ginger beef donburi is so addicting
It is more on a fusion side but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it for the past 2 years. I just wish they opened earlier so I can get it for lunch too”

“I took my first-ever pottery wheel lesson at Thrown Ceramics and had the BEST time! Diana was an incredible instructor - patient, encouraging, relaxed, and great at breaking down the steps so even a total beginner like me could actually make something on the wheel. She explained the process and steps so well (and without anything feeling overwhelming) that I instantly knew I'd found my newest hobby! Thanks to Diana's lesson I was able to make a mug and I'm so proud that I made anything at all, let alone a mug (which I've used everyday now)!
The studio is absolutely gorgeous so charming - it has such a calm, welcoming vibe. Mike and Diana are so welcoming and approachable, and have clearly created a space that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in and it feels like the kind of place where you immediately want to stay and keep creating.
They also have an incredible selection of glazes, tools, and beautiful handmade pieces and gifts in the shop. Mike and Diana were so kind and knowledgeable as I asked millions of questions on what the different tools were used for, it's really cool that they have such a variety. AND they're right across from the Waban T stop which I love.
I walked in excited to just try out something new but left completely hooked on ceramics. I can’t wait to go back for more lessons!”
