ART POST at Happymess Supplies & Studios

I am always on the hunt for alternative sources to art supplies found in big box concrete buildings…read morethat offer up half of their space to kitchey already made dumpster filling junk. So when I am in a new area of a town, I google "art supplies" and pray for some relief from the tyranny of plastic and cake decorating, scrapbook paper and seasonal driftwood. So I found ArtPost in an unexpected place. A small dwelling type storefront with funky painted blue building and two doors... take the left. Inside you will find traditional and some on trend art supplies packed inside the small space like a european counterpart. If you are an artist or craftsperson, I don't believe you will be able to leave without something. p.s. they have some of the coolest japanese brush tip pens.

I did not realize this until I came here, but Art Post is one of the only few local art supply…read morestores (and I believe the only one downtown). I have used them twice now for private classes/team building projects and both time they were phenomenal. For far less money than what other chain art-creation-team-building-events asked, Art Post created a custom activity for our group and created a laid-back atmosphere that encouraged creativity but also socializing. I also observed a class with younger children and the teacher was patient and also encouraging of creativity with the kids. Overall, I was very impressed with their community outreach and artistic philosophy. They also host some really great outdoor markets on the weekend where you can find lots of great local art and music!

I finally made it to Rare Earth pto utilize a gift certificate that I had gotten for Christmas and…read moreI was really excited to see all the different crystals they had on display in the store. They have a beautiful variety from all over and the staff was knowledgeable which helped me decide which crystals to buy. They teach classes at this location and they have a great room set up for you to make different types of jewelry. I can't wait to go back and try one of the classes. Be prepared though the parking lot is shared with a very popular restaurant and parking is at a premium.

This is such a beautiful shop! I instantly felt more relaxed walking in. The shopkeeper was…read moreincredibly gracious and must've thanked us for coming in at least 3x. We ended up purchasing a few small crystals and some bead strands. I found the prices to be very reasonable! The selection is astounding! If you're a crystal person, you'll absolutely love looking at all the beautiful options here. She also has a huge selection of crystal beads (actually crystals, not like Swarovski crystals, though she might have some of those in the bead room). She teaches classes, too, but it's a bit too far for me to drive. Would love to take them! We'll absolutely be back! Random observation: There are a bunch of 1 star reviews for this shop, all for the same reason of the store hours differing from the website. All of the reviews are from Yelpers with only one review, which I find highly suspicious. Pay them no mind, this is a wonderful crystal and bead shop that you shouldn't pass up!

I wanted to convert a vintage bag chain into a necklace, but was struggling to find proper hardware…read morethat would look good with the chain. (Ex. Size, color, plating) I had checked craft shops and stores, but couldn't find anything that was a good match. Earlier during a quick trip to Chapel Hill, I remembered this shop was in the same mall as Mulberry Silks and we decided to stop in during our next visit. It's kind of across from Mulberry Silks and is near a ladies boutique and the CBD cafe. The shop offers jewelry making tools, beads, closures, and some pre-made items as well. There is a small workspace where you can make jewelry there and I suspect that they may hold workshops or classes from time to time. (There are signs saying that the staff could also try to design/help create custom jewelry pieces for customers if they are interested.) I believe we've run into the owner both times I've gone in and she's usually working on something but will look up and greet customers. If they have questions, she is happy to help. I like that there are closures and jewelry parts available that are 18 KT plated gold, and in addition, there are some gold filled ones as well. We did ask the owner to take a look at our chain to see what size of the 18 KT plated closures would fit or suit the chain we brought best. She pointed out two sizes and felt we could go either way. We didn't have the proper tools at home to install the hardware onto the chain, so the owner was gracious to let us use the workspace and tools to attach the hardware to the chain. Prices for the hardware were reasonable. Also I appreciated that she had the workspace available for us to utilize when we needed the correct tools to add them to the chain. With regard to parking, it can be a toss up. There are a few surface lots you can park in, but one of them is shared with Harris Teeter and can get full.

After seeing a few other bead stores the area, Firefly is sensational. Not only is it beautifully…read morelaid out, but the selection of beads is amazing. And then there's the owner, Melanie ---- so helpful, accomplished, and personable. Melanie creates some wonderful pieces of jewelry. Anyone having ideas for creating something from beads will have a hard time deciding which ones to use; however Melanie is there to help in any way. If I could give more than five stars, I certainly would.
