It looks like a well sized Michael's /art store because everything was pretty easy to find and was well organized and well stock (for the most part). The prices seems to be a either slightly cheaper or slightly more expensive than some places. For example, the Tombow Adhesive Refills were cheaper than the ones you could find on Amazon while the masking tape seems to more expensive than other places (like Walmart Deserres, and Canadian Tire from my basic Googling).

Can you imagine...this is my local store and my first time here (outrageous lol). If you do visit, my only advise is to come with a list of suppies you need...if not - you can buy everything in sight (its that easy esp with in store deals). I did not see any advisors on the floor during my visit but great customer service at checkout. I'll be back to this store soon..

This is not a large museum but after the renovations the exhibits are well presented…read more There's exhibits with historic art of the area, community art, immigration, celebrations and more. The entrance fee is commensurate with the size of the collection.

Perhaps it's good timing that this is my first review of 2019 as a resolution that I need to make​…read moremore visits here. I'd visited PAMA (how it's commonly known and on the signage) about 3 years ago​ for an event but haven't returned since - nor had I brought my kids until today. Pretty sad considering how great the facility is - and that I only live a few blocks from it. The Museum and Art Gallery are in separate buildings from each other​ but connected by a ​tunnel. It's truly magnificent throughout the entire facility by how they integrate the old stone structure with the new additions which are largely glass and allow a lot of natural light. The art gallery is the smaller of the two sections. The gallery has some beautiful pieces and a great exhibit at the time of writing - but it's fairly small. Downstairs they have two studios - almost multipurpose rooms. They often have daycamps for kids there. For example, during the current winter break, they've had a separate activity each day - with today's being to create a rose out of clay. My kids had a blast and the staff was​ very helpful and cheerful. The tunnel linking the sections serves as the photography exhibit. At my first visit, it was a bit more art-centered​, and my visit today it was more historically-oriented. Both times were great and there were lots of great things that caught my attention. The museum is larger than the art gallery. The first level has a kids area - suited for ages 4-8 where they have a lot of interactive play and learn about food, transport, ​and other things. Just behind are a few cells remaining from the prison era which serve to highlight the conditions of the era, and some of the harsh realities and injustices​ as well. Upstairs shows old artifacts largely highlighting the area's agrarian roots. They keep kids involved where they can pretend to plant their own garden. There was a also a very impressive First Nations exhibit which had some interactive features. It should go without saying that PAMA is not out to compete with being a world-class Museum or art gallery​. But considering it's scope as a suburban one, and that admission is only $5 for adults and even less for kids, I think it's phenomenal​. Anyone near the area should visit it at least once, and even families outside of Peel but in the GTA should really consider making a day trip here - especially​ during school breaks when the art gallery is​ providing activities for kids. PAMA truly deserves to be featured on more "Places to take your kids..." GTA lists. Overall,​ ​very fun, inspiring​ and family friendly. Tip: free family passes available at Brampton Library - with the Four Corners branch only a couple blocks away.

I took the advanced class of pattern creations. I have a casual sewing background of self learning…read morebut never learned using correct terminology. I wanted to learn in a way that I could create my own patterns instead of relying on things I find online and buying a new one every time. I'm so glad there was this option available. Gellis was a wonderful instructor. Very self motivating and detailed. She doesn't just teach you how to achieve your goal, but also teaches every trial and tribulation along the way. She is generous with her time and expertise. After every class I would feel more accomplished and confident in my abilities. At the end of my 2 months, I had created a blouse with sleeves and a skirt. I learned different measuring techniques and was able to use my new skills immediately outside of the classroom. If you are new to sewing, drafting, or maybe you just want a little help getting through some projects, I highly recommend this spot!

Process is simple. You pick your already made ceramic piece off the shelf and someone sits down with you before you start painting. They explain all the dos and don'ts and show you samples of a good painting job and what happens when you don't later enough paint. Then you go and create your masterpiece! You're free to use whatever brushes you want and all the paint that you need. There also is no time limit of how long you sit and paint. I think my gfs and I took about 2.5 hours? All pieces are priced differently. They're very helpful if you have any questions so don't hesitate to ask! The only thing that my gfs and I didn't realize is that it takes about a week for the pieces to be "glazed". So if you're not from around the area it might be a pain to come back and get it. If you fail to pick up your pieces I believe after 3 months, they donate them. I came back at exactly the 7 day mark and they just finished glazing that morning. Thank god, because I would've been really disappointed if I had gone all that way for nothing. They also have a sign that says no need to call to ask if your piece is ready as it SHOULD be ready within a week.

We were so impressed we bought a year membership so the whole family can participate together. You come in, choose your piece, get a bit of instruction and then you are off to the races. The price includes all supplies needed and the glazing, and as many hours as you need to create your work of art. You can just keep coming back for as many hours as it takes, at NO extra cost, so that you can get it just right!!! Love that! Give it a try - bet you love it like we do!
