They had a decent amount of options to choose from. It is not a quick project, so expect to spend some time here. Prices start around $25. We were told 1-2 weeks to pick up the final project. I can't wait to see it. I would go back & paint again. It would be cool for groups as well.

My girls and I signed up for the Saturday pottery wheel class and it was such a fun experience…read more None of us have done an activity like this so it was pretty exciting. The class held about 12 people. Our instructor was so nice and patient. She helped everybody and left no student behind. It was so interesting to do! Our bowl shapes turned out pretty good! And we got to paint them! They'll contact us in 2-3 weeks when they're dry and finished

I love Blick in general. I used to work down the street from a location in Chicago that was TWO…read moreFLOORS and I could spend hours in there. It was my favorite place to brows. Now, this Blick isn't two floors, in fact their one floor is only a fraction of that other store, but not every location can be that stacked. It's a smaller footprint but they pack a lot in. You don't usually get to see ceramic glazes and underglazes in arts & craft stores but they carry some which made me really happy as I was able to find a few of the underglazes I had been looking for. They also carry the Mayco brand (which no other ceramics specialty shops in the area I've been to carry) and I was able to find a few of their colors that I had had on my wish list. They have a ton of brushes, canvas, paints, pencils, solvents, etc, etc. All at various price points, so no matter what your background is, professional artist or novice, you can find something to either get you started or help you hone your craft. In addition to the art supplies they do have a small section of some miscellaneous gifty-type things which are also fun to browse (many of which would make great stocking stuffers). My last visit I got a keychain tape measure and I can't tell you how often I use that thing. Best couple of bucks I've ever spent! The other thing worth noting is that they do offer a "buy online pick up in the store" option which is great if you're in a hurry. If they don't have what you're looking for in shop they can find it for you in their online store. I've searched for some really random stuff over the years and I've always at least been able to find it on their website. Staff here is very nice and helpful. I love the mural on the wall outside, too. Fitting for such a great art store.

They have some really cute things in there and plenty of options too! We did the karaoke, slime, bracelets, and manicure stations. The girls loved it! It was a great time!

What a shame. I was excited to make this a new stop in my rotation of thrift/antique malls. I wish…read moreI would've read the reviews prior to going as it seems the owner or manager(?) has a reputation for piss poor customer service. Would NEVER go there again. I was at the last of the booths when at 5:40 I heard someone come in and the man (Jim?) behind the desk screamed they were closed, the woman wanted to confirm because of the 6 pm closing time, he screamed again and then started cussing at her. I believe he even called her stupid after she left. I couldn't believe it, my jaw dropped. Something so simple made him snap. She called him out for being rude. Which good for her. Mind you there was no announcement made to customers that they were closing earlier and no sign on the door stating so either. I walked out looking for the poor woman. And lo and behold it was my aunt and cousin coming to surprise me. If I had known it was her he was dropping f bombs at, I wouldn't have spent a dime!!!!!!!!!

It's one of those shops that perfectly captures the spirit of the city while still feeling welcoming, creative, and genuinely community-focused. The location in Midtown is super convenient, with easy street parking nearby -- always a bonus in the city. And if you have time, definitely pop next door to Nest, which they also own. It has the same thoughtful vibe and is absolutely worth browsing plant-centric items. This is my go-to spot for gifts, although I'll admit some items mysteriously end up staying with me. The selection is fantastic: unique Detroit-themed T-shirts, beautiful jewelry, coasters, drinkware, cutting boards, locally made soaps, baby gifts, and so much more. Everything has a Michigan connection, and a lot of the pieces come from local artists and makers, which makes shopping here feel even more meaningful. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people behind it. The staff are genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and clearly invested in their community. You can tell they care about supporting local artists, small businesses, and the neighborhood as a whole -- and that makes supporting them feel good too. If you want authentic Detroit gifts, thoughtful local products, and a shopping experience that feels personal rather than corporate, this spot absolutely delivers. I always look forward to coming back.
