Great yarn store! Tons of different color options and weights. I went in looking to get a single…read moreskein and I ended up with 4. I would have bought more but I had limited room in my suitcase! Note that the entire store is hair-free due to the owner's mother's allergy (her mom, Denise, dyes the majority of the hand-dyed yarn), so no yarns that include hair fiber.

I have taken 3 classes here and each one has been so fun! You don't have to be super-crafty or…read morecreative either. Perfect for beginners and skilled people alike. Darcel walks through every step of the process and makes sure you leave with a creation you can be proud of. Also, she GENEROUSLY opens her facility to the public for craft nights on Friday evenings. I cannot recommend this place enough.

We just finished our first needle felted class here…read more What a wonderful space and a prime location off Dimond. The owner and the primary instructor is a great teacher and I am already excited to figure out which class I am going to take next! We learned that there are going to be guest teachers at this space as well. They offer needle felting, welt felting, crochet, knitting, macrame... Basically the sky's the limit! There is an open studio on Friday to come and learn from other artists. This is truly a gem for Anchorage.

What a great place for date night or any occasion. There is a nice variety of art classes (pottery,…read moremosaic, painting) offered, with no experience necessary. I had a great time exercising my right brain in a jewelry class. The sweet treats and coffee are great too, and the staff is very helpful.

We enjoyed beverages and light snacks while we watched a presentation and very professionally done video introducing us to the world of painting silk scarves. We chose from 9 designs (and even had the option to paint a second scarf) and got to work! There were four students and each of us got personal attention - every one of us were absolutely in love with our creations! The most special part of the experience was walking around the yard and our Alaskan High Tea on the deck! Little Peters Creek winded its way along the perimeter of the back yard and we enjoyed a yummy spread of homemade bread, chicken salad, and crudities while we listened to the creek and chatted. After some amazing cookies, we got to see our dried scarves! Later in the summer, the patches of fireweed will make the scenery even more picturesque and I can't even imagine how amazing a sunny day would make the experience! Our hosts/teachers really thought of everything - class time is perfectly planned and, while warm and inviting, they are very professional! As a resident, it was great for a relaxing afternoon to learn something new and different, but a visitor would have an amazing experience and beautiful scarf to remember their Alaskan vacation, too. This is really more than just a class to learn to paint, it was a lovely afternoon! If you are on the fence, go for it!

This was such an awesome experience! I truly enjoyed all aspects of it. From the instruction, to…read morethe environment, to the hosts! I painted two scarves and am not sure I can part with either! Definitely made my Alaska trip a memorable one and I got handmade souvenirs! Thanks to our hosts again for a wonderful experience!

This was my first Paint Nite and it was held at Hard Rock Cafe. My sister and I reserved our…read moretickets for Paint Your Pet and sent in a photo of the pet we wanted to paint. Usually Paint Nite will have a picture that everyone will paint at the same time, but in this instance you send in a photo and at the event there will be a sketch of your animal already laid out on the canvas. Started at 6PM and we were finished at 8:30PM. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours with food and drink available. It was completely full and everyone had awesome portraits of their pet. I would come again and recommend.
