If you're looking for art supplies The Art Cart is a good starting point…read more We stopped in here to check out the pen collection, so my wife could do some of her artwork journaling. They had some really nice pens with a variety of widths, making them smoother and/or heavier. In addition to the pen selection they had all sorts of paints and associated brushes and anything you may need to kick your next art project into gear. Staff was friendly and they had quite a few people in here checking out what kind of supplies they had. Store is organized nicely and had a good flow (like items were together). Good spot to check out if if you find yourself at Lowe Mill Art & Entertainment plaza. I'd recommend and we'd come back if we are in this area again.

Amidst a repurposed historic building, in fantastic style, is this local home-town art store! This…read moreis my daughter's new favorite place. They have a variety of professional art supplies, and the lady that was running it was kind, patient, and has a heart for inspiring artistic youth. They had "exactly" what my daughter was looking for, and I would much prefer to buy local than to support Amazon and get let down again when the package doesn't arrive the day they say it will. We were also encouraged by this store's Christmas project. They challenge patrons to take a paper bag and decorate it. They're having a fun time judging them, and will use them to hand out gifts collected for those in need. Places such as this serve as a reminder of how important brick and mortar stores are. Very refreshing and we'll be back here soon...with a decorated paper sack and a gift or two from their list. This gets a deserved 5 stars from me.

I really appreciate the attention to the importance of buying local that the owner, Ginger, has established.

You can rest assured that any item you buy there is great quality and that you are helping out local folks by purchasing it.

I haven't been in this store in years. There were at least a dozen shoppers. I noticed fall stuff and some Christmas stuff. We looked at cork first and then wood. The store has limited cork inventory, as well as, limited wood pieces. I picked up 4 small cylindrical wood posts and headed to the checkout. These pieces weren't exactly what I needed but they were better than nothing. Checkout was very slow. I couldn't find a person to checkout with so I went to self checkout. After struggling for at least 5 minutes, a store employee came over to help. She struggled with the self checkout. Between the two of us we had to start and stop to start over 4 times before the self checkout register would work properly. I was about to leave everything due to frustration. The store employee was pleasant and cheerful thru the ordeal. She wished me a better day and I told her the same. The person in charge of programming the self checkout registers needs to revisit the code written and make changes so that it doesn't take 2 people 4 attempts to purchase from Michael's.

Wow wow wow!!! Was passing through Huntsville and found this amazing store! Nina, the owner, is a…read moredynamo! She loves yarn and it shows. She is super brilliant and was an engineer in a former life. She is so knowledgeable about yarn, the different types, the animal/chemical composition and processes used, etc. The selection of different types of yarn and various brands was outstanding. Nina also found a way to connect with everyone in the store, even a shy little girl there with her Mom. Nina gave her some yarn to have to play with. I will be making this a regular stop when I'm in Huntsville. It gets my highest recommendation.

Although the selection is good for a yarn shop, the prices are not as listed on some items…read more Although clearly marked as sale items, the owner bait and switched the prices at the counter and simply refused to honor the price clearly posted on a sign. Additionally, the owner made it clear that the yarn I was buying was not as good a value as other yarn that she offered, it really tainted my feeling about buying the yarn and sort of ruined the experience for me. I think it's fine to have strong opinions about yarns and what you choose to buy, but don't make other people feel badly about what they're buying. Especially when they're buying it from you.

We have visited a few times and they offer many services such as paint pottery, (the main focus), art classes, art history lessons, and more. They also offer summer classes geared towards children and young adults alike. The studio is small, yes, however the creativity shines in all areas. You can just *feel* the love the owners have for this little establishment. My son and I will be coming back soon for art classes. Absolutely wonderful little studio, I am so glad I gave this a try. We will be back very soon.

I could drop off any day during the week but they only fire and pick up on Saturday. I went multiple times over the next couple weeks trying to drop off and even though posted hours said open their doors were locked. I finally pick up the kids pottery on a Saturday and am able to drop mine off. go back the following Saturday and they are closed even though posted hours are open. I call ahead the next Saturday bc I don't want to drive 45 minutes and they repeatedly don't answer the phone. I take my chances and they are open!! Now to get my cup, but wait it has black on it tracing half a name and then another kids name is fully traces in black...I didn't use black paint! what an expensive waste of our families time and complete disappointment.
