“I couldn't find a frame for this stretched canvas print anywhere so I took it up to this shop to see what they could do. The first thing Joseph did was explain to my why it was stretched wrong and what he could to do to fix, mount and frame it. Then we set about picking the framing material. I know nothing about framing except Hobby Lobby and Michael's. I was worried about the cost until he told me how much it would be. I was surprised when he gave me the total. I don't know what 'reasonable' would be in the framing world, but in my mind, what he did was goes way beyond 'reasonable'. It was so reasonable that I see no reason to go anywhere else to get something framed. When I picked it up he showed, and told me, what he did. Then gave me guidance on where to hang it. If you need a frame for anything, I highly suggest you just take it up to him. Save yourself a lot of time and headache. The piece will be ready when, or before, he said it would and you won't be disappointed in his work. In fact, I'm heading that way here shortly with another piece that needs framing.”

“Great place to take pottery classes! The teachers are really helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is welcoming to all skill levels. I highly recommend 323 Clay.”

“I stopped here the other day to buy some beads for my new jewelry making hobby, and I realized that the owner is a woman from my local geology club here in Independence. I hate that people have had bad experiences with her, I understand she’s maybe not the most warm and bubbly, but she is a retired teacher and has been extremely dedicated to students, Boy Scouts, our geology association and her local community. There are many small artists with their jewelry for sale here as well as the coolest assortment of beads, charms, cabochon, leather scraps, etc. If you are simply looking to add some really OLD or unique beads to your collection for great prices then please give this store a stop!!”
