We went this weekend, it was about how a museum exhibit is designed, and we learned about a few…read morecultures, music and a little lion. The front desk lady was so sweet, she checked on us while we made a craft and just seemed happy that we were having a good time. It was a nice way to spend time in downtown Fort Collins. ‍ and I believe they change the exhibit to a new topic after a while.

A journey through time and traditions, and special temporary exhibits that encourage visitors to contribute their own thoughts. It's potentially losing their location convenient to the old town core of restaurants and shopping, but so well worth seeking out. A great little gift shop with reasonable items from many lands!

One of the best Christmas presents I've ever received was an 8 week package of pottery lessons at…read moreSmokestack Pottery! Each week we get a short lesson focused on one piece, then we are let loose to create, throw, trim, and glaze. During the days between lessons you can come in to practice. Sue has the best teaching style and is positive and encouraging. The atmosphere is amazing with lots of great people and music and you are allowed to bring drinks and food, if you wish. I love the therapy of clay and when a piece turns out, I'm grateful and surprised. Chewy is the studio dog and greets everyone with love and good will before he goes to nap. It's a place you want to be.

A group of 10 of us went to Smokestack Pottery for a fun pottery night out and it was great! Sue…read moreand Joey were there to help us, and after a short demonstration, we were freed to make our pieces. I took a semester of ceramics in high school and while I was never good, the muscle memory was apparently still there because I picked it up again relatively quickly. And they turned out way better than the things I ever made! Must be the good teaching and the smaller lumps of clay :) Sue and Joey were very patient and helpful when it came to centering, providing instruction, and helping us fix our pieces. We were allowed to make 4 pieces of pottery within an approximately 2 hour period, after which we cleaned up and picked our glazes. Music played throughout the session and some cheese and crackers were provided for snacks - it really was wonderful and relaxing. The pieces should be available for pickup in about 4 weeks I think - hopefully they turn out well! I've already talked to some of my other friends and hope to go back again. It's normally $35 for a session where you can make 4 pieces, and $5 per piece after. They also have 7 week classes for $200. I definitely recommend stopping by, it was tons of fun!

Not the greatest experience. It's been a while and I'm still annoyed, so here's the story…read more I needed a carbon fiber scba tank filled so visited the shop with high hopes. Dude looked at the tank and asked if it had a visual inspection. Nope. Not required. Just hydro every 5 years. Last test in May 2024. Dude agreed DOT doesn't require visual, but he does. Annoying, but I agreed to leave the tank overnight for his $20 visual. I mentioned it was a high pressure cylinder. Dude said yeah, looks like 4500 psi. He didn't indicate that would be a problem. No call after 2 days so went to pick up the tank. The young lady helping me wasn't rude, just markedly unfriendly. She looked at the tag and said, "OK. Just the hydro, then." "You mean the visual?" "Same test. We just call it that." It's not the same, but whatever. She looked at the tag again and said it didn't need the visual after all. Yeah, that's what I told dude. Did you want it filled? Yeah, that was the point. The tank has a gauge to show remaining psi. It was at 3600, pretty close to the pressure it was when I brought it in. Stern young woman explained it depends on their bank pressure, which I understand, but would have been nice to know when I dropped it off...or I wouldn't have left it to be filled. That'll be $54. That's ridiculous. The hydro test was $40. No. The tank has current hydro. Dude wouldn't fill the tank without doing an unnecessary visual. Oh, ok. $14. For a short fill? It depends on our bank pressure...
