I was familiar with the work of the gallery owner, Julie Dunn from a benefit show at the SLO Botanical Garden. I had gotten several of her vivid landscape tiles as presents for my friends. We were immediately greeted by Julie, who is very personable, and is the perfect person to represent the paintings and artworks on display in the gallery. They depict the lush landscape and creative crafts of local San Luis Obispo artists. The crafts also display a sophisticated level of work, along with a sense of humor that make this the perfect place to come select gifts for your friends, or for yourself! I am looking forward to the upcoming show of floral themes!

As someone who loves glass art, this was an absolute dream of an experience and the perfect anniversary gift. Nate is an incredible teacher. Patient, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made the whole process feel approachable and fun without ever making you feel like you were in over your head. The experience itself is unlike anything else. Watching molten glass transform into something beautiful right in your hands is nothing short of magical. Worth every penny and then some. I cannot recommend it enough!

Vases, windchimes, earrings, necklaces, ornaments, bowls, and more. We were lost in the wonder of their creative pieces. Glass artist, Nate Nix created a piece while we were there. He was super friendly and very informative. It was enthralling to watch as he calmly sculpted the glass into different designs and glided seamlessly between the different equipment and tools. Classes also are available. We bought earrings and some postcards. Items were fairly priced for handcrafted items. Worth stopping in to see their shop.

This studio features many powerful pieces of artwork from various local artists, however the owner's artwork dominates the interior space. Deprise Brescia, the owner of this woman-owned gallery, is an extremely talented artist full of positive energy.

Many of her works gave rise to interesting conversations with her. The gallery offers a wide variety of art objects & creations, as well as individual crystals, stone works and jewelry.

You can find any shell you want to use for making crafts or any large beautiful shell you want simply to display in your home. The store is located on the Embarcadero in Morro Bay and it does have 30 minute free parking, which is important because the parking on the Embarcadero is always full. I'm sure they would let you run over the 30 minutes if you were shopping in the store. The store is always busy with lots of tourists choosing things to take home as genuine souvenirs. Some of the real beauties are the frames and little animals that they make out of shells as well as the ships made out of shells. I got a lot of scallop shells to use to make craft items with, ranging color from pale white to a beautiful coral in natural colorations. It's a fun place to come visit and simply look at the multitude of shells, or stock up on all reasonably priced shells.

Of course, it is focused on Paso Robles history so it is really cool to learn about what got Paso Robles going. It has only been a wine town for the last 20 or so years but before that, it was known for hot springs. I came with my family and we got a kick out of all of it. There are so many recreations that truly help bring history to life. From the cars to the mini models of buildings back then, and the staff, you could spend a good afternoon just reading and learning all about the history of Paso Robles and what it was like to live in the early days. My personal favorite was the blacksmith, not for the history but the proportions. As for more practical bits to my review: There is a small parking lot with Pioneer park where you can park you car. No shade and it is narrow so be aware when you park there. They also have a small parking lot if I remember correctly but we ended up parking in Pioneer park since we got there before they opened. The entire property is dedicated to the museum so once you walk in the gates, you can start learning. It is also free admission so I am honestly amazed it is still going. Donate to help keep it going and maybe buy something from them! They also do have AC so if you want to escape the heat, go there. It is a big building so it did still get warm in 100 degree heat but it was much better than outside. I highly recommend stopping by since it is super fascinating. I sadly didn't take any pictures since I was so busy just learning about everything. So keep an eye out for that blacksmith! ;)
