This is a wonderful craft store, and whenever I'm in downtown Cincinnati, I always try to stop by…read more The store has a huge selection of secondhand art supplies and a wide variety of miscellaneous creative items. One of the best things about this place is simply walking around and letting the inspiration come to you! I ended up buying three random trophy stands for sculptures I'm working on, and all three together were only 15 cents! The prices are amazing. You're welcome to donate while checking out, and you can also pay what you feel is fair based on your budget and what you think the item is worth. They do provide a suggested price when you check out, so it doesn't feel like an uncomfortable haggling situation. Whether you're looking for supplies for a craft night with friends, working on your own projects, or just want to browse and get inspired, this is a great place to visit. They also have a small selection of newer items from local artists, including artwork, prints, and jewelry available for purchase. You truly never know what you might find here!

I took a friend with me and she also found something she liked. Prices are extremely reasonable. This is a shop that sells donated craft supplies and art supplies. Some items are partially used, some partially done projects, and new items still in the package it came in. I come to the Covington area once a year with an art group for a retreat and we always seek out places like this in our free time. If you are looking for great prices and some unique items then give this place a look through!

Has a very sweet possibly-older shop cat who purred when I pet it. The main reason I will not be back is because the woman working complained that the cat scratched her and then threatened she was going to cut the cat with an x-acto knife as payback. I'm sure she just has a dark sense of humor, but it made me very uncomfortable and worried about the safety of the cat.

Worst experience I've encountered in the art scene. The man who owns this store is aggressive and…read moreincredibly pretentious and arrogant.

It was a great way to kick off the holiday season. I love that there was an outdoor craft show at…read moreWashington Park at the same time, so I got a "two-fer." I shopped there for the traditional arts and crafts gifts, then went into the side door of Music Hall (yes, at you're looking at it, the fair can only be accessed through the left-hand side door of music hall) for unique artist-made crafts. I didn't buy much -- just a silk-screened t-shirt and some tasty Jalapeno jelly -- it was the perusing itself, and talking directly to the artists that was the joy of the season. And I had some great, animated conversations with the artists themselves, who were helpful and excited to talk about their work. Yes, these are hand-made specialty items, so the price was high. But it is going directly to the artists, so it is worth it.

The booths were very high-end, offering great design and well-made products. Eli's BBQ was there, along with a bar, coffee stand, and gelto. It wasn't very crowded when we went, so take that for what it is. YMMV. Be prepared to spend some serious cash, also. I didn't buy many things, but the bill was high. I like supporting artists and designers, so I don't mind, but it certainly isn't a budget shopping experience.

I should mention at the outset to the reader that this is a review only of the frame shop at the…read moreback of the store, and that I realize I'm a fairly permissive grader, such that on occasion I find myself wishing I could give out a sixth star. I would not give this frame shop a sixth star, on price alone though, good grief it's like back when I was nine during the RWR recession and she took all of us to the apprentice hairstylists academy so they could practice on us for half price, it's unbelievably cheap hopping over from the campus area especially. On quality, my standards are not perfectionist. For example I've been meaning to write a review and yesterday was in there to get a print of 'The Mahabharata' room matted, this being one of six of my Rooming House rooms. They helped me with a publicity photo from the film, especially with two mats that had 'black center' when you slice in instead of white, very nice framing a B&W photo, and so I took that one in to get my print from AllPosters of a temple wall, a scene from the Hindu epic, and get the exact same matting (and then in a months get the last of my three decorative posters for outside the door, the movie poster in French). Anyhow, their new technician insisted on taking the AllPosters print apart to get both measurements and pricing right from the start, and it turns out that was important because they fuse the whole thing together on pressboard. Last time I tried to just have one of theirs removed and another substituted it meant finding out later we needed a new mat, and on an unusual size it took an extra month. So, I'm not like that and most of their staff aren't (quite) like that. But still I have noticed infrequent errors that they fix for free, but you can't expect people hired and trained from scratch to perform to the quality of a sole proprietor frame shop with decades of experience. They've got quality control and it works well enough, modest hassle for massive savings as I'm just about done with a job I've been working on for over two years, and have learned how to do some of this on my own. I would point out to the perfectionist though, that for you it may not be a choice between here and Michaels. Rather you may want to look more toward various professional frame shops and their reviews.

Great finds and you can always find great sale items. Would like to see more cashiers at busy times.read more

Great idea if you were looking to add something a little creative into your week.

We were able to get reservations very easily, and the studio put together a large table for us to be able to talk and paint. It is eight dollars for just being in the studio plus the price of your item. The ceramics can cost anywhere from eight bucks to 100, depending on what you are wanting to design. A coffee cup was about $18-$20. They do put the item in a kiln and allow you to pick it up at your convenience within three months.

We went in for an impromptu birthday celebration for my 4 yr old. Seeing the reservation when we walked in we were a little nervous. We shouldn't have been, the new location allows plenty of space for walk ins. The staff is great and always attentive and ready to help. For the price it is always fun. There are many options to choose from at a variety of cost. The wife and I will be going back for a little date night so we have more time to get crafty. Excited they found their new home.
