    When I walked in I fell in love with the beautiful decorations hanging from the ceiling and wanted to recreate that for my grandson in his room at our house. This was the result! I love the Polish Art Center and the people who work there, I did a lot of Christmas shopping there for very special gifts, everyone loved those gifts. I am so thankful for finding this hidden away little jewel in Hamtramck and thankful to my friend who introduced me to it. She got one of those special gifts from The Polish Art Center! Try the Chocolates, they are delightful ( so I am told ) I am partial to the gingerbread covered with dark chocolate!

    We visited the Polish Art Center last weekend and were absolutely delighted with our experience! I went looking for Polish stoneware and was amazed by the variety of Polish handmade artisanry. The owner's daughter was incredibly informative. I didn't expect our visit to be so educational, and I truly appreciated the time and attention we received. We don't live in Michigan, but I've already decided we'll be making a trip back to visit the Polish Art Center again!

    I've been going here on and off for almost forty years! I'm so happy I could bring my children here to paint eggs and see everything over the years! The items I bought them for Christmas from this center when they were small are still things they treasure as young adults! Just ordered a pysanky video and items for a presentation at my senior center. The lady was so helpful over the phone, and I received my items the very next day!!!

    Michelle made ALL of those by hand 😍 We came to make ornaments for our Christmas party and it was a total blast. Thank you, Michelle!

    I have been here twice before for the Pitsaki egg decorating class- it was egg- selent (ha ha). Today i went to the polish porcupine or Jez class. Once again the instructor, Michelle, was amazing! She is so patient with those of us slow learners! I highly recommend this class as well. The shopping after was awesome too!

    Step into Poland in Hamtramck! 50-year family owned and operated business. Fabulous selection of polish stoneware, amber jewelry, and authentic polish clothing and accessories from around the country. Professional jewelry repair, and a wide selection of handmade crafts. Hand made Crafting classes available year round!

    Finally made it here after a friend recommended me. Gorgeous gift shop with many different products to choose from. Beautifully-made Polish pottery, you can tell everything are skill-handcrafted and the price is not over asking, given the quality and authenticity of the product. People who want cheap, fake “Polish” pottery should just go to Target. I was mesmerized by the interior, the entire experience was very wholesome. Owner is very kind, knowledgeable about all the products, helpful with anything the customers need and their hospitality is what makes this place so special. I ended up buying a baking pan and a beautiful mug as a wedding gift, and the owner helped me wrap them soon as she heard it’s for a wedding. Lovely gift shop in the mid of Hamtramck. Will definitely come back!

    I love coming here with my parents! Hamtramck is so diverse now compared to how it was back in the days with the Polacks running the town. This place gives them a feeling of nostalgia. Definitely a historic icon in Hamtramck!

    I received a gift of Polish pottery in the mail & it was packed to ensure it would arrive safely. It was so beautifully wrapped in Polish wrapping paper & ribbon, that I hated to open it. But I did & inside each piece was wrapped in tissue with Polish ribbon & then in bubble wrapped. I received a beautiful winter themed soup mug and small baking dish. I love both pieces.

    What a cute place! A real gem of Hamtramck. You can find Polish books, food, T-shirts with funny logos, art supplies, and much, much more! Ah, simply amazing. And I heard that they host workshops and events, too! Definitely stop by if you are in town

    Absolutely love this place and what a charming homage to the wonderful Polish culture that flavors the area. It really is like a visit to another country when you walk in, if you stay for a proper period of time even just to admire the wares on display, you'll walk out of the store almost forgetting you're still in the states (at least I did). Every time I turned around I saw something charmingly captivating that I didn't see on my first look. A lot of the items are also very affordable and make truly unique gifts for yourself or others. The staff are the other highlight - amazingly nice and friendly people who make you feel like you've been invited into their home and they are deadset on taking care of you. They are very polite, conversational, and share a lot of interesting and engaging knowledge about the products within; the best way I can describe it is a museum gift shop where the gift shop is the museum too, if that makes sense. I also really like the fact that they don't pressure you to buy, they are just as happy watching customer reactions and engagement with the items and talking about each one besides selling them. I could've stayed so much longer if it had not gotten so late. Do yourself a favor if you want a remarkable cultural experience and seek this place out to support these wonderful people and their establishment.

    My new favorite place for gifts. The people there are so nice and didn’t mind that I browsed for a looong time before making my final decisions. So many unique treasures!

    The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. I needed more Easter egg decorating supplies for pysanky and Joan showed me helpful items and tips to advance my technique. Next year I will sign up for their workshop.

    My mom and I took the ornament class, in the past we did the pisanki class - both times were fun! In addition the staff knows A LOT about Polish culture. Highly recommend this place on your next trip to Hamtramck.

    Joan has such an amazing store. I love all the Polish stoneware and my daughter enjoys the large selection of Polish candy. As always Joan and her staff are friendly and helpful.

    Best place for Polish. I always visit here when I come from Florida to visit my family. Friendly staff good advise on cookbooks and ingredients they sell. Awesome stoneware hand painted. Also the stuff I couldn't get today I can order on line.

    A piece of Poland 🇵🇱 in Michigan 🇺🇲! Beautiful store with a vast collection of art, books, dishware, decorations, magnets, stationery, fashion, decorative eggs, and other cultural artefacts from Poland! Stepping into the store gave me flashbacks to my time in Warsaw! I’ll definitely return the next time I’m in Hamtramck!

👍 They have most of the Bangladeshi and south Asian outfits for all ages. I would've expected more of a bigger collection for being in the business as long as they have been. Nevertheless price is reasonable they have respectful owner and employees
