As a first time visitor from Texas, I was excited to have fun and get creative. As we walked in for…read moreour appointment, The owner disclosed to us that we were not allowed to touch anything, just look and pick. Once we made a decision, picked our products and sat down to start painting, we noticed l a party came in and those children touched everything! She never told them it was not allowed. My friend had a 1 1/2 year old and the owner was obviously annoyed that we even brought a small child, but I did not see any age limits on the site. So when my friend called to let her know how she felt, the owner apologized and expressed that it wasn't Chuck-e-Cheese. Seriously???? Anyway, Long story short...You paint pottery, and you have to wash and clean up all of your brushes, pallets, and the table. And when your stuff is ready, they set the stuff outside for you to pick up. (Who does that?) If you just want to go somewhere that is unsociable. Lol then here is the place to go!

The first place my family visited in Toledo after having lunch was the Gathered Glassblowing…read moreStudio. It is a wonderful little shop in Toledo which sells, you guessed it, items made of glass. They have glass candle holders, glasses, glass decor, glass Christmas ornaments, tons of glass type items. They are reasonably priced, considering that they are made in house by their artisans. They can be a unique gift to gift to friends, loved ones, or heck to yourself! I bought a few glass candy cane ornaments to put on my tree on Christmas. I also bought this beautiful Asian style looking blue vase which goes great with the rest of the decor in my living room! Gathered Glassblowing Studio also provides classes in glassblowing, alas I did not have time to do that. Still, that is pretty cool!

This place used to be a tattoo parlor and it shows in the layout. It might not be optimum for all shows but I kind of liked it for the Midwest and Beyond graffiti show I attended with some fellow Detroiters. One of the tattooing rooms was the cofounder's studio that he had opened up as a chill spot and it was fun trading sketches in black books with others who sought a place away from the hubbub of the main room. Connor Degnan's Art was on full display, too, and it was a fun side quest from the main exhibit. A back room also had some brightly colored pieces that seemed to be part of the permanent or semi-permanent collection. Turnout was just right; the room was filled up but not overstuffed to the point of claustrophobia. The curators maximized the wall space with a lively and varied collection. Quality varied but there were definitely some standout pieces. To me the big problem with reproducing graffiti style art in a gallery is it loses a lot of its vitality stripped of its proper lawless context. It loses a lot of its street cred if you take it off the streets. Nevertheless it was fun to see and a good crowd to see it. A DJ played old school hip hop and the snack table was legit. The rap letters over the front door with the gallery name was a nice touch; I feel like that's not just for this show and is gonna be around. I hope so. Hope this gallery is gonna stick around, too. It could really go either way with this type of establishment.

It is a works in progress though it is already beat to wander. Many store fronts are empty though look ripe for new businesses to open soon. There is an artist vibe here with a few art places including an art supply shop. I have uploaded a few photos. Walkable and a number of places to eat out at.

My mom wanted to do a Paint and drink activity for her 70th birthday with me and my daughter. I'm glad I called before I bought our tickets because they say you can drink before you get there, but not in the class unless you have a private party. I don't understand why this would have a title of "UNCORK the artist" and be advertised in the category of "drinking and painting" when you're not allowed to actually drink THERE.
