Personally i felt racially profile walking around the store my first time going there. at one point…read morei had a few things in my hand and realized i should go back upfront to grab a basket, which was located by the front doors of the store. as im walking to grab a basket i realize an employee is following closely behind me and was clearly about to say something to me before noticing i was grabbing a basket, not about to steal craft paper and washi tape. she made some comment about how she always grabs more than she can carry aswell and i awkwardly laughed it off. the whole time i was in the store she was always somewhere near me (the store isnt super small so i found that weird). then when i get to checkout, the lady from before is standing at the counter, watching, once of again giving the vibe that she thought i was about to steal (mind u my mother was also with me and purchased something of her own too and that employee was NOT the one checking us out so she truly had no reason to stand there). the entire time i was in the store, this employee was following me & watching me much closer than the other customers. as a POC this is something ive dealt with before but i never expected it to happen in a craft store of all places. i felt extremely uncomfortable and the entire experience made me not want to go back.

She even went so far as to personally scold her while she doing a class which was offered free with machine purchase, then had the gall to have us trade it in on exactly the same model Berninia for only $8000.00 more than we paid for the one we had .

Oh, and they have a large selection of books with sprayed edges. I just picked these beauties up this afternoon. Happy reading!

Several mediums are represented, which I really like, so you have options. Oil painting, acrylics, watercolors, metal work, ceramics, wood, paper and even jewelry. Loved the variety of art styles and the fact that the art was affordable. There were pieces across a wide spectrum of prices, many artists offering prints or canvas options of original art at a fraction of the price. Since I have limited wall space, I have to be very particular with the art I purchase and there are two pieces that I am considering. The artists take turns working at the gallery so you get to meet and speak with them, which I find very enjoyable. Art tells a story and getting to know the artists and the story behind the art makes it that much richer. Troutdale has a First Friday from 5-8pm and Red Trillium is part of this fun monthly event.

I have had good experiences finding treasures and in the transaction process. These hardworking men and women deserve our respect. All that being said.. Would love wider aisles so that two carts could pass and you wouldn't feel rude just trying to get past another shopper even when only one of you has a cart.. it's just a corporate decision not on the people that help us in store.

While The Glass Source doesn't have everything... they have a lot! I met Dixie, the owner of this and the sister store, The Bead Source, which is right next door. Great selection of dichro, both small and large pieces (up to quarter sheets). Fusibles from Bullseye and Urboros. Findings from Annaraku, frits, Glass Line liquid, decals, etc. Not a lot of each of these, but a little bit of everything. Certainly enough to allow you to try some things you hadn't before, or get some inspiration. She is also a distributor of Art Clay Silver! Stained glass supplies are available as well. There are not any classes there at this time, but her studio time is $7/hr and you can fire in her kiln for $15/firing, and she said she was available for one on one teaching in any technique she is familiar with (cost depends).
