What a wonderful place to donate and find crafting treasures. Remainders is a craft thrift store…read moreand the only one I'm aware of that functions like this. I wish there were similar stores in San Diego as well. It feels like it would be difficult to find a specific thing that you had in mind, but if you're open to being inspired by what's about, this is an excellent place to start. I bought a number of (older) crafty books for $1 a piece and am looking forward to exploring them all.

Beware: Rude staffers with atrocious customer service skills and manners…read more My Experience: At the checkout counter one young staffer was yelling over my shoulder at patrons in the store: "You ALL need to stop shopping and get in line!" I pulled out my phone and time said 5:53 pm and the store closes at 6pm. Maybe if the staff shopped at a TJMaxx or a Target they would learn how to make the announcement with much more finesse. I did see a few women in the store do exactly as she asked...they stopped shopping, left their baskets full of items, and walked out. As I was headed out I was in a conversation with another employee as one customer was still paying. Next thing I know behind me another employee grabbed me by my shoulder to usher me out because she had to "lock the door now." Rule #1. Don't ever, ever touch a customer. I calmly left thinking I would never hire these employees...but I would recommended them to a competitor. I did not realize Remainders operates as a non-profit organization that doesn't need customers or revenue. I will patronize other small businesses and donate our corporate items to them instead.

Initial Impression: I have heard of Lumee before due to its previous locations, but I never had the chance to visit. I just so happened to have extra time in Pasadena so couldn't resist stopping in. This shop in Arcade Lane opened recently and it is situated in a cozy area near Urth Cafe. It is bright, colorful, and hard to miss. The perfect place to draw in lovers of all things Kawaii. Service: the shops man is the absolute sweetest and not only took time to explain the concept of the shop, but he also showed all the artwork and some of his own work! The Mahjong bag is so impressive! Lumee offers tufting for carpets and supplies the tools. They also offer decoden cases, trinkets, hair clips, bags, and more! Locations have a variety of different experiences so check ahead! Overall: I was able to make a trinket for around $8! It can also be upgraded to a magnet and you can walk-in if you want to! They offer group experiences as well, and I think it would be cute for a date too. I really can't want to go again!

We had a group outing to lumee for the tufting experience and had so much fun! We booked our…read moreappointment online and found the location very easily. We each found images of what we wanted to create online and were able to trace it onto the canvas. Since it was our first time, we all opted for the small canvas but in retrospect, maybe the medium size would've been easier as the tufting gun is harder to maneuver in smaller sections. The staff was very helpful in providing instructions and staying close by as we worked on our projects. Once we were done, we left our mini rugs to be picked up another day since the staff would put the backing on for us and clean up any loose ends and such. Definitely looking forward to coming back and making an even bigger piece!

Given there's no food here but the second floor of the mall has a great selection of quick food. My daughter made a water bottle with icing and some charms and I made a bear. I just didn't know that mine would take a week to dry I was joking about it but it was actually true. The girls who work here were very nice. I came on a Sunday to pick it up and the whole mall is packed so I might try to come in during the week. When I came in it was just my daughter and I. I definitely want to come back to make my own picture frame. Also the paint did dry up a little darker so I would go brighter

"Since I'm craving Jin tea (next door to this spot), let's go browse color me mine to see if there's anything I'd like to paint?" They charge a studio fee of $12 and then you pay for whatever the price amount of the ceramic you'd like to paint. My mug was about $24. I had my service pup Frida w/ me and they were super chill about it. The hack to this spot is to come on a weekday when it's dead for those who have that choice! I wasn't rushed and they came to check in on me regarding colors. I can't wait to see how it turned out as I was inpatient with myself towards the end xD

You pay a fixed amount for the paint, then for whichever item you choose to paint. They bring you the paint, paintbrushes, and will give you extra if you need it, which makes everything super easy. You can call ahead to make an appointment, but they also take walk-ins if they're not too busy. Overall, such a cute date idea or just a fun place to go if you want to do something different.

The inventory is incredible--eclectic, unique, and full of beautiful beads, materials, and everything you could possibly need for jewelry-making. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking for something specific, they have it all--beads, string, findings, and so many inspiring options you won't see just anywhere. What really sets this shop apart, though, is Christina. She is truly the heart of the place. She's warm, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and just an all-around joy to be around. She can help you design something custom, guide you through making it yourself, or even create it for you. And if you need repairs, she's amazing at that too. They also offer classes, which is such a great touch--I took one on making bracelets and it was such a fun experience. What a cool thing to be able to do locally. Honestly, I never thought I'd say this, but I actually look forward to needing repairs--because it means I get to come back and see Christina. She makes every visit feel personal and fun, and you always leave in a better mood than when you walked in. Such a wonderful shop with a truly special owner. Highly recommend checking it out.

I took an Introduction to Macrame Weaving class last week at Craft. I have been an Art Teacher for…read more10 years and was very excited to learn some new skills to teach the young ones. The class was scheduled for 2 hours. We ended an hour early with an end product that was a bit underwhelming. Our instructor was friendly enough, though never introduced herself nor took the time to ask the class (all 3 of us) our names. I wrote a letter to the owner and never got a response back. Highly unlikely I will return. Below is the letter I sent, including a few other underwhelming aspects to the class: "Hello! I took last evening's Macrame Weaving workshop. As I was driving back to Long Beach last evening after the class, I had some time to reflect on the workshop. I signed up for it to learn a new skill that I could potentially teach my students. (I've been an Art Teacher for many years). Unfortunately, I feel very disappointed with the class as a whole, as well as with our end result product. I believe the owner was there last evening; I regret not having pulled her aside to chat, though I wasn't quite clear on how I felt about the class until I was on my ride home. Our instructor was very friendly and I so appreciate the use of the high quality organic cotton cord. I also appreciated the hand out with the images of various knot styles. However, I don't even know what our instructor's name was. She never introduced herself or asked our names - there were only two other participants besides myself. We ended class nearly an hour early. This feels like a waste of project making and learning time. Either the project we did was too simple or our instructor wasn't thoroughly prepared. Her instruction was okay, though I don't think it is very helpful to physically do something for the student which she did a number of times. I believe it is more helpful to walk them through it verbally while allowing them to do it to experience the motions and acquire muscle memory. Craft is a great space! I wanted to share my thoughts because I think the class I took last evening could be improved upon for future students. Thank you for reading, Ivette"
