First time reviewing after going here for big occasions for years! I most recently visited for…read moretheir Valentine's Day Craft session and I had such a good time! I made some concrete coasters from scratch while I sipped an espresso martini. The service is prompt, and the specialists are also really kind and knowledgeable. The crafts range from simple to complex, and every craft is very independent! Avoid if you're not into loud noises as the work space is a little small and others and their crafts will be making lots of noise! (Especially the hammer for the leather works!) I've never had a drink here I didn't love, but the espresso martini especially is one of my favorites in the city. Really mellow flavor and very foamy. The Craftery is perfect for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and date nights. Next time skip the fancy dinner and make some concrete coasters instead! Then grab some takeout and enjoy your craft!

It is nice to see The Craftery continue to thrive at Nulu Marketplace. While I am creative, I am…read morenot a craft person. Things don't turn out the way my brain envisioned them and I find myself more frustrated than inspired. The shop offers various items to craft and once purchasing the project, the supplies are provided. Long tables fill the space. Drinks and cocktails are available for purchase and you can bring in food or order from nearby restaurants. My recent visit they hosted drag bingo during Pride month. The staff were amazing and kept the drink line reasonable. I also loved their generosity in donating two visits to the bingo winners.

My husband and I recently participated in a stained glass art class at Preston Arts Center. From…read morethe moment we entered I was impressed! The store was full of natural light that highlighted the rooms, and the steps to the upper classrooms were painted in colorful hues. The staff were super friendly as we strolled through the center prior to our class. The selection of art supplies was quite impressive and seemed to include most anything a person could need for art projects (colored pencils, paints, brushes, pens, markers, canvas, children's art kits, and so much more). The prices appeared to be fair and in line with box stores and chain craft supply stores. They offer an array of workshops and classes for all ages that include both one-day and weekly offerings.The class that we participated in was phenomenal. The instructor was very patient and quite knowledgeable. The price of the class included all materials. There is plenty of parking in a dedicated lot.

My friend and I frequent Mellwood Art Center mostly for Butchertown Brewing. We have heard and…read moreseen about this place and have overlooked it quite a bit but, we decided to check it out. It's in the building where Danny Mac's is located. When we entered, it was quite spacious and had a bunch of interesting artifacts. We were even more surprised when there was more space and more space with stuff. I want to say we walked the whole place but, probably not. My friend absolutely loved the train set. We thought we were lost at first but, someone told us the colored arrows point us in the right direction. Red-more stuff, Blue- restroom Yellow-cashier. That was a relief. We didn't buy anything however, we plan on coming back when we go to Butchertown. This place has everything from A to Z. Definitely worth checking out.

The relics of the past are all present here…read more We just moved to the area and came across this . It's actually in the basement of the arts museum building here at Mellwood. Now they have opened an additional area here too. Come and find your treasures here. The older stuff, it seems to look better and last longer than the cheap stuff from a big box store. Sometimes that big antique dresser or wardrobe cost more but it will last longer than you think. They have a huge selection of everything. The best of all things you want is here. You need some time to browse and relax as you shop. They have taken great care of the antiques here. It's organized by style. All the prices are posted, no guessing games . Now the service is just pleasant too. When you have questions you have to find someone but they are willing to help. Great attitudes. They have free parking across the street. The building is air conditioned. Come and make the new home have some Louisville charm.

They have a little bit of everything, from vinyl, to apparel, to sublimation blanks, glitter, etc. I have primarily purchased vinyl and shirts from here, but I'm excited to try some of their specialty vinyl, screen print confetti, and sublimation items (once I finally get my setup together). Angela has always been so helpful, patiently answering all of my questions and offering expertise on items/products I was unfamiliar with. They have a classroom in the back of the building and hold creative classes for various skill levels. I cannot wait to be able to attend one, especially if they offer one for sublimation! Pricing is extremely fair/competitive and they tend to be very well stocked. I highly recommend everyone support this local business!
