I stayed behind to talk with the manager and they offered me a 10% off coupon on my next purchase. The next day, I noticed the crack was rendering the pitcher completely ineffective, the water drained out leaving a puddle and my flowers dried up. I called to see if anything could be done as compensation, since the item was damaged during the glazing process, while in their care. They stated they could do nothing else for me since they already gave me the 10% off coupon and recommended I purchase ceramic glue to repair it myself. Love the idea of an art space like this one in Eugene but they do not take accountability for broken items.

Daniels Family Pottery was a wonderful find when I first relocated to Eugene. I actually stayed at…read moretheir cute Airbnb for a week when I first arrived. During that time I was able to watch Steve, the owner, make pottery while chatting with him about his work. He has shelves of pottery that he and his students have made and even the Airbnb itself had some of his pieces. He was very patient and friendly with many years of experience to teach from. You can do private lessons with him to learn how to throw pots on the wheel. You can also purchase his work if you would like some beautiful pottery of your own. If you have family in town and want to give them a friendly Eugene experience you should check out his Airbnb too!

I have experience with other art studio memberships, and wow has this been my favorite one ever. The studio is open 24/7 for members. This works great for me because I work a 9-5 job. I also want to add that all the studio managers and director Jayme are friendly, thoughtful, inclusive, and compassionate artists who center relationships, collaboration, and investment in getting to know the members. I have learned an incredible amount of new skills, been given many opportunities to teach workshops, and help create community through volunteering at free monthly Art Jams on the last Friday of every month. By the way, I highly recommend the Raku class. It was such a rad experience and great for beginners. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone becoming a Wildling student, member, or supporter.

You can view the giant mural 24 hours a day and it's completely free. The mural is incredibly detailed so Simpsons super nerds should allow some time to truly study it. It presents a great photo opportunity but be careful when taking pics: you have to stand in the middle of the street to get the entire thing in view. This is just so cool to pose in front of. One of the best-kept secrets in all of Springfield.

I have known their work when they showed in Portland galleries such as 1430 and RocksBox. The clean white space has gallery walls set up inside a vast industrial high ceiling building. For a large opening event, they had a coat check, beer and wine, and they have a small selection of printed matter for sale. They have limited hours and are only open select months of the year. Their regular hours and events are on their website and socials. You can contact them to visit by appointment other times in their season. On my visit was the thesis show by UO MFA students. AI-generated video was in evidence along with mixed media sculpture. It is in the Booth-Kelly Makers District. Part is an industrial area East of the Willamette and South of downtown on the wrong side of the tracks in a good way. Before Homer Simpson and the nuclear plant, the Booth-Kelly lumber mill was a major employer, from 1901 when they bought the Springfield Mill, to 1931 when they closed as a result of the Great Depression. In the industrial part here is also a large brick building which was the biomass electricity plant that ran the mill and Eugene-Springfield. The city parks school buses. School buses when parked seek the most basic real estate to minimize school budgets. So if you are looking for cheap space, they are a good indicator. The Booth-Kelly trail starts there. The entire project is owned and operated by the City to host and incubate small businesses. The parking is gravel, so you already know NW puddles. Wear appropriate footwear. The lots are clean and the buildings keep up with waste collection. Ditch Projects is the Springfield-Eugene nonprofit contemporary art gallery. There is enough space for the work to breathe. If you visit Eugene, they would be a good resource on local contemporary visual art.
