The women who run it are incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and they'll gladly share stories about the artists behind each piece. It's a perfect place to pick up a thoughtful gift, with a wide selection of handmade clothing, quilts, cards, nightlights, bags, jewelry, paintings, and so much more. Best of all, everything is created by women artists. I'm so glad a space like this exists. So empowering, inspiring, and full of heart. You can really feel the love and effort poured into every item. When my friend and I visited, we even got to meet one of the artists and take a photo together which was such a special moment. For the prices, you truly get so much more than you pay for.

I wanted to convert a vintage bag chain into a necklace, but was struggling to find proper hardware…read morethat would look good with the chain. (Ex. Size, color, plating) I had checked craft shops and stores, but couldn't find anything that was a good match. Earlier during a quick trip to Chapel Hill, I remembered this shop was in the same mall as Mulberry Silks and we decided to stop in during our next visit. It's kind of across from Mulberry Silks and is near a ladies boutique and the CBD cafe. The shop offers jewelry making tools, beads, closures, and some pre-made items as well. There is a small workspace where you can make jewelry there and I suspect that they may hold workshops or classes from time to time. (There are signs saying that the staff could also try to design/help create custom jewelry pieces for customers if they are interested.) I believe we've run into the owner both times I've gone in and she's usually working on something but will look up and greet customers. If they have questions, she is happy to help. I like that there are closures and jewelry parts available that are 18 KT plated gold, and in addition, there are some gold filled ones as well. We did ask the owner to take a look at our chain to see what size of the 18 KT plated closures would fit or suit the chain we brought best. She pointed out two sizes and felt we could go either way. We didn't have the proper tools at home to install the hardware onto the chain, so the owner was gracious to let us use the workspace and tools to attach the hardware to the chain. Prices for the hardware were reasonable. Also I appreciated that she had the workspace available for us to utilize when we needed the correct tools to add them to the chain. With regard to parking, it can be a toss up. There are a few surface lots you can park in, but one of them is shared with Harris Teeter and can get full.

If I could give more than five stars, I certainly would.

If you are trying to stay on budget, I definitely recommend going on a day when they offer discounted studio fees. We went on a Monday and only paid $2 for the studio fee, which was a great deal. I am not the most artistic person, but I had so much fun. It was the perfect way to celebrate and do something a little different. I would absolutely go again and tap into my very limited artistic ability lol. If you are thinking about going, I recommend making a reservation ahead of time.

You can choose whatever you want, a plate, a piggy bank, a paperweight, etc. so many items to choose from and also so many colors to choose from. A helpful tip is that you should probably paint a few layers on an item so that it doesn't become so see through when after it's done in the kiln. Also don't expect your pottery to be able take home immediately. I think it was a week when ours was ready so keep that in mind in case anyone is traveling. You never feel rushed here and the staff are so helpful. It's definitely very relaxing! Check out our cute creations:

I have used them twice now for private classes/team building projects and both time they were phenomenal. For far less money than what other chain art-creation-team-building-events asked, Art Post created a custom activity for our group and created a laid-back atmosphere that encouraged creativity but also socializing. I also observed a class with younger children and the teacher was patient and also encouraging of creativity with the kids. Overall, I was very impressed with their community outreach and artistic philosophy. They also host some really great outdoor markets on the weekend where you can find lots of great local art and music!
