The instruction was good, and the employees were very helpful throughout with helping us complete our wreaths or offering advice if we got stuck. I appreciated that all supplies were included. We were also treated to a free cookie, and I also bought a hard cider (you can buy both N/A and alcoholic beverages) and enjoyed sipping it while making my wreath. I will definitely come back!

The rudeness was unnecessary

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.

More than slightly irritating was a situation that potters quarter could have at least contained the overly loud adults. We had a nice chill and creative time planned with the grandkids. It when we arrived it was chaos. There was a young elementary girls party going on that had food, drinks and many screaming girls. When something was funny the parents were loudest! It's like the rented the whole place for themselves to be as wild as they wanted with no courtesy for others - except for the fact that they didn't. I'm not a party pooper. I'm not a buzz kill. I'm totally glad we get back to real life and some def fun- for everyone! So let's still be polite. Let's still be aware of our surroundings. Let's respect the others in the room ! What about indoor voices ? What about "read the room"? Oh no , you couldn't do that because you were all acting like you were at a park ! When I say screams and outlandish laughs it was over the top ! Never mind I had someone with me that's slightly on the spectrum. So we are clearly more than just irritating everyone. It's completely besides that because this wasn't even just a normal delightful squeals that is usually just enough to make you smile if you delight in several children in a good mood! Yeah I said I wasn't a cranky old woman! But really ???? One, next time rent out the whole place. Two, if you can't then know that others are also trying to have fun too. Three, why would you purposely be that Karen? And Karen's kids that will turn into the Karen because Karen don't k ow any better to do better. Sad.

Cute painting place. Definitely a great date night place as well :) will be coming back here!read more

We have been calling the store for a week to set up a private class for glass fusing. We know we…read moreneed to speak to Patricia for this and have left MULTIPLE messages for her to call us back. This was for a special birthday and it's all we wanted to do. Needless to say, we never got a call back, so we were not able to fulfill the birthday wish. The birthday girl and I am severely disappointed, sad and now angry. This is not the experience we wanted or expected. We were in the store six months ago and everyone was falling all over themselves to set up a private class. This isn't how you run a business, it's not how you treat customers, and it's certainly not how you stay in business. The business owner, Cindy, saw my review and said they do not have the staff to offer private classes. Then continued to say to check the website for a form that has info on private events. So which is it? Either you do or you don't. It doesn't matter because they've lost our business and we are now spreading the word to avoid this place because the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. We did get two call backs by the way, one guy told us we needed to talk to Priscilla (who never called us back or would come to the phone) and the other said she taught those classes but wouldn't be available the day we wanted.

I moved here from Seattle where they have Seattle ReCreative, a place that takes donations of art…read moresupplies and things that could be used for art. 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!

I'll still be shopping there because FOH people have always been so kind and amazing, but idk about donating because I really don't want to experience that again. Didn't get her name, but whoever was doing the donations in the back at 1pm today needed a break or something. She rolled her eyes, only spoke like two words to me and my partner, threw the bags down aggressively, and her overall attitude was not pleasant to encounter.

Ditch Projects is Eugene's artist-run contemporary art gallery. The University of Oregon has a good…read moreregional BFA and MFA program, and many of their artists and faculty show in the space. 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.
