I popped into the A2AC gallery today to see the last week of Helen Gotlib's curated Stratum and Breadth show. The 5 artists took printmaking to a highly creative stratosphere. From glowing pieces to aerial totems I left gobsmacked at their originality. It closes on August 25th.

Very cute spot in downtown Ann Arbor with a continuously rotating art exhibit. The space is very open and has a second floor as well, all of it being self-guided for the most part and free to the public to peruse. The center could benefit from better marketing/awareness spread on what exhibits it contains and why and its visitors could benefit from a bit more direction upon entering as to what the intention of the current exhibits are or just better placards around it as the collections feel a bit disjointed at times. I've also walked past this spot countless times and never went in because I never knew what it would hold and my assumptions of it being a bit "random" came to fruition upon entering and finally checking it out at one point. My group did not spend more than 10 minutes here I believe.

Just a comment to start that this is a review of the Law Library and not of the Law School. I was a…read moreundergrad at U of M, but not a Law student. The law libary is perhaps one of the best places to study on the whole campus. Unlike the Ugli which is where people go to pretend to study and the Hatcher graduate library which can get seriously quiet and spooky later at night (sometimes attracting folks like the Unabomber who was a grad student at Michigan), the Law Library offers a good balance of being able to see other people around and a general 'no loud noises' rule to maintain a good productive vibe. With its cathedral like ceiling, it's a beautiful place to sit with only a mild hum of noise that feels like white noise to help you get serious work done.

The law quad is a gorgeous area of campus that is lovely to walk through. As you approach the front…read morearch, you feel like you are walking into a castle, so it starts off pretty great. The courtyard has a quiet, old feel which both holds some awe to it but also feels really relaxing. Then there is the library...oh the '70's! The green carpet is a little hard on the eyes, but it definitely made me want to return for put-put golf in the library (one of the school's fundraisers). Another fascinating feature is the stained glass windows of crimes and other aspects of the law. From the stained glass window depicting murder to that depicting debt collectors dragging away a person who was going bankrupt... I don't think the windows were originally intended to be comical, but I found them hilarious. The law quad is really cool to visit. Go blue!

Spun Ann Arbor is a fiber artist's dream!! I first heard about this establishment through Knitty…read moreNatty's YouTube when Natalie and Kent went on their cross country LYS tour. The video was fun and made this establishment look like a warm & welcoming space. I appreciated learning more of the owners' origin story as Natalie interviewed them. All of that to say, I was more than motivated to check the place out. When I walked in, I was not disappointed. Located in Kerrytown, Spun has a local charm to it. The store itself is a great size where it's large enough for patrons to explore without feeling too crowded yet still able to maintain a cozy hipster vibe making it a great reflection of Ann Arbor. The sheep artwork (designed and drawn by one of the owners) is creative branding and contributes to the memorable experience. The yarn selection is massive and easy to navigate because of how well organized it is based on yarn weight. The amount of yarn may be overwhelming to some because there is a lot to look at - not a bad thing, only something to take into consideration. I thought it was quite extensive which left me speechless! Some may find it helpful to have a shopping list going in or know ahead of time what your timeframe is because you will want to spend time exploring each aisle. I had researched ahead of time on their website though found that when I looked at the yarn in person, some of the color hues I was expecting were different in-store compared to the photo listing online. I didn't mind as I had time to look and adapt, perusing in person so I was able to choose something else. I appreciated that there were quite a few local dyers, artisans, and spinners spotlighted - from the yarn to the notions/yarn bowls offered. Staff was welcoming - Annri introduced herself, provided a basket, and made herself available if I had questions. It was very friendly of her! The selection of yarn ranged in price where many would be able to find something in their budget. I felt some items were on the pricier side but that's considering the college town factor as well as that I only recently began transitioning to independent dyers, natural fibers & hand-spun. I did appreciate that there were several economy priced yarns offered which seemed like more options compared to other LYS' I've visited but still considerably less in proportion to Spun's independent dyer options. I walked away with stitch markers, two sets of double pointed needles, and four skeins of yarn! What a great haul! The staff was also kind enough to wind it for me free of charge which I greatly appreciated. I only had to wait in line and return for my skeins after 30 minutes. I could have easily spent all day at Spun!! It sets the standard for LYS and I'm excited for my next visit!!

Just loved this yarn shop! I stopped in for the 2024 SE Shop Hop. It had been quite a few years…read moresince I had been here - in fact, they were not even in this location last time I visited them. I loved the layout of the yarn - everything was so easy to browse. There were several different areas to sit and knit or browse through magazines. I did find a few yarns to try and a new felt project. I will definitely be coming back here again.
