    OK, I'm a Scrap-a-holic and Urban Scrapbook is a fabulous place to get my fix…read more Urban Scrapbook is a scrapbook supply store just off 118 avenue and 142 street. I've been getting inspiration and supplies here for nearly 5 years. It has, in my opinion, the best selection and prices for scrapbooking products in Edmonton. Their products and supplies turn over at a quick pace and as such you aren't stuck with the same themes and embellishments every time you go. Not to mention the size of their stock increases monthly! You may get overwhelmed when you walk in due to the amount of products they have, but will quickly be put at ease with the assistance and guidance from Urban's helpful and friendly staff. A children's area is available with toys and a TV so you can shop without distraction if you bring your kids. A layout area is available so you can go in with your pictures and choose products to complete your layout right there. Urban Scrapbook also offers numerous workshops and cropping sessions throughout the month and over the year. I recommend becoming a member of Urban Scrapbook which entitles you to discounts on product, specials, and "ins" on upcoming workshops. By being a member you also receive weekly newsletters filling you in on hot new product and upcoming workshops, events and important things in a scrapbookers life. Urban Scrapbook has a well lit, large crop room at the back of the store with ample room for cropping groups. They also provide dye cuts templates to help you with your creations. Now, don't get me wrong, Urban Scrapbook isn't just about scrapbooking. It basically sells anything to do with paper and paper crafts. It's a wonderful place to start if you're thinking about making invitations of any sort. Happy Scrapbooking!

    If you love scrapbooking as a hobby, you will love this place. I stumbled upon it online, and made…read moreit my mission to seek this place out. It's a bit hard to find, located in an industrial area of the city, and it's kind of small next to the big Fabricland store right beside it, but it's worth the visit if you're an avid scrapbooker! I was overwhelmed stepping into the store, I didn't know where to start. They have everything you need for scrapbooks and other craft projects, including rows and rows of stickers and rub-ons, chipboards, paints, brads, and crafting tools. There's also an entire wall of cardstock paper in all kinds of beautiful colours and patterns. While they had everything one could possibly need for any project, some of the items were a bit pricey, even for a scrapbooking store, I would say. So be selective with your items, because you can get certain ones for cheaper elsewhere. That being said, be sure to check out the back, as that's where all their clearance stuff is currently stocked at half price. I found some really cool cardstock paper back there for really cheap. They also have a room in the back where they hold their craft and scrapbooking classes. You can sign up via their website; I think one usual session is about $20. They also have examples of projects throughout the store, so you can get an idea of what they make. And there's a small play room for kids right beside the entrance, for moms who want to take their time getting stuff but can't find a babysitter. Sign up for their points system and get 10% off once you reach 200 points, which shouldn't be too hard cause this place is awesome!

    Artists & Artists to be ~ wannabes (me) UNITE!…read more I've been looking for canvas primer! The Gilded Rabbit off 149th & Stony Plain Road was the perfect place to shop for it! They had a cool collection of gifts for budding artists, kids and professionals. Tools for painting, carving, crafting & POTTERY!! my good friend just purchased a pottery wheel. I will be sure to tell her to visit the gilded rabbit. Two woman working we're helpful. I loved the smooth artsy jams playing over the radio. It got me in the mood to create. Prices are reasonable for a standalone art supply store is comparable to those you would find in a big box store. Although you would never find the selection or specialized tools in a big box location. Having said that ...... WHY NOT SUPPORT THE LITTLE GUY! If you've been holding out on art supplies or thinking about getting into an ARTSY MESS, I recommend checking out the gilded rabbit!

    This is my "go to" spot for quality framing (I always get really good advice and is always an "easy…read morepeasy, lemon squeezy"process) as well as special art supplies for my classroom :-) Marion and her staff are very accommodating and SO knowledgeable about their inventory. As well, it is a great place to stop in and talk all things art, art supplies and everyday. This is what makes this place special....it is not only a shop to acquire art materials, but a space of community where you can drop in and see the wonderful things to buy AND to have a quick visit with those who work there and enjoy their customers business and their company :-)

    This store is like Disneyland for people who love beading! The selection is beyond amazing here…read more You definitely need time to explore the store. Do not come here if you are in a rush and have a limited amount of time. I came here specifically to check out the beads made of semi precious stones. I had some ideas of what I wanted to buy before coming to the store. However, I left with more items than I initially planned. I found the products were clearly labelled with the type of beads, size of beads and prices. The store was well organized. I didn't have any difficulty finding what I was looking for. However, I did go around the store a few times to make sure I saw most things at least once. This store is jam packed! They have all the supplies you need to make beaded jewellery. For example, they sell different kinds of string, glue, jewellery findings and tools for jewellery making. They also have a random selection of costume jewellery, socks, purses, wallets, embroidery, sage, essential oils, books and so much more! This store had larger selection of beads than what you would find at a big box craft store. I found the prices pretty reasonable. I will definitely be back here when I need more supplies!

    Making bead necklaces was a huge hobby for me years ago. Lately, I have been wanting to get back…read moreinto it. However, it can be difficult - and expensive - to find beads, charms, pendants, and all of the findings (the parts needed to put everything together, like clasps). Then I discovered Bead World. Beadmaking is not just for hippies anymore. This store is huge on the inside and features several rooms of charms, strings of beads made from different materials like glass or stone, ribbons and strings with clasps already attached (just add charms), and even a small selection of wallets, purses, and pre-made jewelry. The charms and pendants are incredible. There is a huge selection of religious ones for Christians and Buddhists, ones for sports, ones made from fimo clay, and even ones from Swarovski crystal. Many are from the Shag Wear designer line. I bemoaned the lack of Stars of David, but otherwise had to exert a great deal of self control. I got one horizontal fimo charm, a string of beads that look different than anything I own, and a bag of jump loops (used to connect pendants to a necklace). The prices are much lower than any other bead store I have visited and the selection is better. I am inspired and will be back.

Your first throw, the instructor guides you through the 5 steps of throwing clay and then on your second you're on your own. Heather will assist if you need help. You can pick the best project of the 2 or pay for both if they came out better than you expected. You get to choose your glaze out of a bunch of colors and then studio staff does that for you. As well as an extra $5 charge for handles if you're making a mug. After the class is finished you get the opportunity to buy local artists pottery from a large selection of works if you wish. We would definitely book another class with Viva to keep perfecting our skills.

    I discovered Clayworks Studio Link through a "fieldtrip" when I was working at a childcare centre…read more They came over and did a workshop with us at the centre, and it went great. The kids and staff (including myself) loved it! The lady from the studio brought over all the supplies, and everyone received their own ceramic tile to paint. She had an array of stencils available for those of us who hadn't a clue what to do. She was very patient with the kids (we had a large group) and helped them out with their tiles. Afterwards, the tiles were taken back to the studio to be fired up and glazed, and were given to the kids a couple weeks later. I highly recommend Clayworks for your next party or if you work with kids. They host painting parties, workshops, and various pottery classes at their studio. They also offer school outreach programs and teacher workshops. For drop-in painting, the price you pay for your piece includes everything from the paint to the glaze, so the number is already calculated for you. It's a great way to fire up your imagination, and hey, Christmas is coming up soon -- why not do something different?

    I'm a huge fan of Jelly Parrot Trash Crafts!…read more I ran into the owner, Jan Przysiezhiak, at SUB while I was at the U of A. He turns trash into crafts! And not in a cheesy way, this guy's stuff in amazing! Here is a bit about this guy's company: All of his crafts are from 99-100% reclaimed/recycled materials. He collects materials from dumpsters, recycling buns, generous individuals, etc and turns it into something beautiful! I bought 2 journals from Jan yesterday. One has front and back cover made from vinyl records - it's incredible! The spine of the journal in made from an old coat hanger and the pages are recycled paper. It's amazing! The other one I bought is made from an old record album cover and it is equally incredible! Jan also puts an inscription in each of his journals/notebooks telling you a bit about them. He also had some amazing coasters made from vinyl records but there was only one left after I got back fro the ATM! I was crushed! This is such a great thing that Jan is doing. He is helping our environment and he is creating beautiful and creative pieces of art. Jan sets up shop at different places throughout the week. SUB is only one of his stops (he's there every Friday, I believe). He also sells his work at Earth's General Store, Frog Kisser's Den, Modaboho, and Alternations (Saskatoon). You can email him at jellyparrot@hotmail.com to find out when and where he will be near you! I've included pictures of the journals I bought. The prices are great too! The vinyl journal was $14 and the album cover journal was only $10! Great deal, great cause, great stuff!

    My experience started by being shown where my assigned seating was. Next, I went to the shelf where…read morethere was a pretty decent selection of ceramic trees to choose from. I had prepaid via Eventbrite for a $50 tree. When I saw a bigger and fancier tree, I chose to upgrade to the $100 tree. I just had to pay the price difference. After this, I received a brief explanation of a couple of paint options I had to choose from and then I started painting! This wasn't set up like one large ceramic painting class. People came and went at different times. Each group that came in would get separate instructions by the staff members. This worked out because painting times definitely varied. I honestly underestimated how long it would take to paint a ceramic tree. I think I must've painted a total of 6 coats of paint. It's partly because of the paint option I chose. I required a base coat to ensure my tree would come out shiny dark green. It took me about about 3 hours to paint! I wanted to make sure all the crevices of my tree were covered. I did this activity after work on a Wednesday night. It was a fun way to unwind and chat with my friend. However, in the future, I would prefer to do this on a weekend instead. I finished painting right before the store closed around 9pm. It would've been more relaxing if I knew I didn't have to work the next day. Once I was finished, I painted my initials under the tree. I was told it would take about a week for my tree to be ready for pick up. When I was reunited with my tree, I was super happy with the result! The wiring for the light bulb was inserted. Light bulb not included. I also received a bag of multicoloured mini plastic bulbs and a plastic star topper to decorate my tree. Overall, I had a good time here! I would definitely consider coming back to paint something else. The staff were helpful and the products are good quality. I know I could've easily bought a ceramic tree instead of painting one. It might have been less expensive and definitely easier to just buy a finished tree. However, I'm proud to say that I painted my tree!
