All of the work is created by local artists and it is accessible and fun. You can leave with a piece you love for about the price of a dinner date (on the lower end). They also do frequent events, where you can look at new art, meet the artist, and enjoy a glass of champagne and stimulating conversation.

Everything from plates, to mugs, to jars, to seasonal items, to charms. There were lots of cute options and i like that they mix it up. The prices are clearly marked and the price for the item includes the whole experience. I made a large cup for $29. The employees were chill and the playlist was good. They cleaned up everything for us at the end which was really nice. We didn't really get any instruction, so i was glad i watched the 9 super short videos on their website prior to going. They were very quick, informative, and inspirational. There is parking around back but the signs are confusing- like you might get towed?

Beware they are dog people at the gallery and will often have Super Lou and another dog around. The dogs are friendly and love to play with customers so stop by and browse, pet the dogs, and chat with the owner.
