When I moved back to Eugene last year after 35 Years of…read moreliving in Denver, my go to place was a place that had knitting needles and yarns. When I asked if they would wind 2 hanks of yarn for me I was charged for this simple task and I also purchased some items. I was treated SO poorly that I will never step foot in that store again. The rudeness was unnecessary

This place is fun!…read more It's a great place to take the family, it works for all ages, and get a little crafty together. This time I made a mug, for my sister, with the theme from her baby shower on it. It was fun. There are stencils and all size brushes/sponges to choose from. There is also any color of paint that you could want. Pencils are provided if you need to draw your design before you paint it. I dont like to do this, I just go with the flow. :) It's convenient if you want to paint something and then go across the courtyard and grab some dinner from any one of the several restaurants in the area. Parking is easy too. Bring the family in! Your ceramics will be done in about a week and then they are yours to keep.

When we walked in we were greeted by Dana who was absolutely amazing at explaining the process to us. There was a ton of different items to choose from to start painting and lots of colors to choose. We had such a fun time together as a family and we cannot wait to come back again! Dana who was working was super nice, extremely kind, and patient with our young son! He made the experience that much better. I recommend 100% for a fun family time, date night, or even just alone time therapy painting.

There, we found our blank untreated cutting boards with our pre selected stencils. This is a very well run and organized crafts shop. An entertaining class for the uncrafty novices as well as the seasoned pro. There is coffee and some wine available as well as soft drinks. Megan is an excellent instructor who is clear and concise as well as helpful and patient. We were walked through the application of our stencils and inks as well as the treatment and sealing of our boards. Then Megan from Charcuterie Boards & Grazing Tables took over and brought out our boxes of cheeses, crackers, fruits and goodies. We were taught how to display and arrange these foods in an artful manner on our boards. We really enjoyed the creative aspect of taking simple household items and arranging them into an outstanding and tempting display. It was a great night out for the Mrs and I and our friends had an entertaining night as well. Full Disclosure, this is actually my 2nd time doing this at this location.

I moved to Eugene and was thinking wouldn't it be great if Eugene had such a place, and lo and behold, MECCA! It's like Seattle ReCreative but 10+ times larger! Paint, canvas, paper, folios, yarn, fabric remnants, yogurt tubs, wine bottles, plant pots, scrapbook papers, so much fun stuff to get you thinking creativity on a budget. My only suggestion is they might find a way to fill in the huge puddle right in front of their door, and that they somehow get more parking spaces!

They've got craft items, old books, VHS tapes, clothes, and much more. I recently bought an Oregon Duck print pillow, that's handmade by the seller. I always enjoy it. The employees are always nice. Nothing special, and a little slow because they have to write down the seller ID so they can credit the right person because of so many vendor booths. But they've all worked there forever, so you see familiar faces. Prices aren't bad, if you know what you're buying. It's mostly handmade items, so you may pay a higher price because of that. I try to compare it to booths at the Scandinavian festival to see which is the better deal for certain things. It's a store I've gone to many times and will keep returning to, because I can buy craft items made by someone local. I love that aspect of it.

Lots of tools and leather instock. Exotic skins all the way to 1/4" bullhide, and a wall of pre-cut projects to do with kids, adults, and for yourself. The hardware wall is well stocked, but the staff really stand out. Friendly and helpful every time I go in. Never have I had someone look at me like an idiot of dismiss a newbie question. They have helped select cuts and leather types for specific projects and have talked my out of a few things that may not have had the desired outcome. Prices are the same as on-line, but there are in-store sales and no shipping. being able to use a stamp or a tool before you buy it is really helpful and limits the waste of buying something that turns out too small or too big or not right that sits in the stamp caddy forever unused.
