So about 10 years ago my business partner would start a little company in his garage ( I would join…read moreforces with him about a year or two later, but that's a story for another day ) we had an idea to basically commercialize an aspect of the Hollywood film FX industry and make it available for anyone to purchase. The said product were silicone masks. Enter Smooth-on From the day our company was born, Smooth-on was our "go to" supplier for raw material. But it wasn't only the materials we received, it was a friendship with a manufacturer that to this day I've yet to see paralleled. Smooth-on not only offers excellent product ( 98% of my shop are blue and yellow buckets ) but the customer service is mind blowing. You never feel like just a number being a client of Smooth-on. They take personal interest in your projects and offer the best advice and product solutions when faced with challenges. The also listen to their clients!! This is huge. They've invented product to serve specific needs. Combined with the amazing staff at our local Reynolds advanced materials in Burbank CA. Smooth-on has helped shaped my company, Immortal Masks into one of the worlds largest and most prolific silicone mask companies.

Today, my 2nd time there, I wasn't sure if I wanted to try the new products I researched online or stick to the products I've been using. I consulted with Milo, an employee, he was a great help with suggesting products and techniques! He was VERY knowledgable with all products and had the hands on knowledge to back it up. I left satisfied and better informed of products and techniques. I'm very excited to see how the glowing lava floor/ castle wall/ 2dragon instillation turns out! Production designer heaven

I hadn't been to the Banana Factory for quite a few years. So when I saw it was First Friday open…read morehouse, I decided to visit again. Not much has changed--in a good way. There are still various "gallery" spaces featuring artists of all mediums; you can still visit artists' studios; and there are still wine, refreshments and music. What has changed (and does continuously) are the exhibits. Last night I was captivated by nearly every one. (Except 2022 InVision Juried Exhibition, but only because the DJ was playing the music so loudly that I couldn't wait to get out of there, so I barely glanced at the artwork.) The first exhibit you come across is Leah Frances: Things Were Never Normal. (It is in the hallway leading from the entrance to the largest gallery.) Loving all things nostalgia, this was my favorite. Her images of vintage restaurants, bowling alleys, cars and other businesses, made me want to visit every one, myself. A second exhibit, just outside the Crayola Gallery, is the Voices of Survivors Project. It is a "platform for survivors of human sex trafficking or other forms of violence to express their lived experiences as survivors through photography." With each photo collection are thoughts from the victims. Very powerful. The Isla P Gordon and Ash Kaye - Starter Home exhibit included a talk with the artists. The exhibit is "a visual record of our new life as home-owners as Isla transitions to life as a woman." I expected to see images reflecting the challenges and heartbreaks in such a situation. Instead, I saw love, support and fun. It warmed my heart. I ventured upstairs to the artists' studios and was delighted to find quite a few of them working at their craft and chatting with visitors. I am NOT artistic, so I always find it fascinating to watch artists work. There are more than a few pieces I would love to have displayed in my home if I had the budget for original artwork. But I am considering treating myself for my next birthday. Stay tuned.

This is a place where local artists can be recognized and sell their craft on display.

Check the local guides to see when classes are given. An interesting venue.

Decent stock of new comics, but doesn't seem to carry any CCG/TCG cards aside from Magic The Gathering. An entire wall of the store is taken by the extensive selection of Graphic Novels.

Clean, well lit, and organized. Literally, the store is stocked from bottom to top. Whitehall Mall is more of a shopping center then a mall, with most of the stores having external entrances, Comicmasters is located in the small indoor "mall" portion.

We first walked into the shop area and saw an instructor holding a class with a gentleman as his wife looked on. At first we felt like we were intruding, but the instructor invited us to sit down and watch his student make a glass pumpkin. My kids were in awe of all the tools, ovens and equipment inside the room. It's not a huge space, but they certainly make the most of it. It was also the perfect toasty place to take a break on a chilly spring morning! We met Etta when we walked through the shop into the gallery. She was loaded with information about the shop, pieces in the gallery and the area. I'm pretty sure she told me at one time the building was a machine/tool shop. Walking through the gallery, we were amazed at some of the items for sale. I think some of the fish were my favorite. We took some time to walk in the back gallery areas, chatted with Etta and eventually met the owner Will. They showed us some of the lighting they make for businesses and homes and invited us to book a class. They advertise a class at $90 for an hour and you can make everything from paperweights, flowers, hearts, pumpkins to a stemless wine glass. The bigger items for sale can be pricey, but their smaller pieces are a great buy. I ended up buying a couple of beautiful hummingbirds. You can definitely find a unique and creative gift here for a loved one, friend or yourself! A class is a great gift idea too :) ..... A return visit will happen if I'm in the area again. Thanks so much guys for a five star experience!!!
