Having a "Glass Experience" at The Furnace counteracted a cold January day. Our Experience was…read moreguided by Danelle, whose warmth and bubbly personality added to the fun. She was expert, not just at glass, but also at teaching, and was great at working around my mobility limitations. My friend and I both decided to make glass bowls, and after these annealed over a 24-hour time frame, we ended up with lovely keepsakes. Expect to learn a lot in a very short time. The Experience is a little pricey, but worth it, especially considering the individual focus. Don't rush off--you'll want to explore the Gallery and pick up a few treasures (use your 7% discount the day of your Experience) and seek sale items. I fully expect to book another Experience!

That will soon change when the original building becomes a Creative Campus for studios and the Astor House contains the galleries, a meeting room, reading center/library, refreshment kiosk and administrative offices. Targeted for March/April '24, both FAC buildings will be a major improvement and offer everything from classes and meetings to an increased outdoor patio and even a Short Edition dispenser for free English/Spanish phone-based stories, poetry and cartoons for both adults and kids to take with you!

This odd little shop shares a storefront in downtown Englewood with Anderson's Vacuum/Colorado…read moreShaver Center. The large signs are all for the shaver/vacuum business, so look for the north door that says, "Blazing Star Ranch." The genesis of the business is the ranch in Elizabeth, Colorado where the owners have a herd of 60+ prize-winning alpacas. Much of the wool in the shop comes from this herd, but the owners seek out and represent other local and international craft yarn producers and dyers. Things are a little disorganized and the inventory is limited, but the yarns and raw wools are very unique and interesting. The shop also sells and services equipment for spinning and weaving and offers a roster of intensive classes. This is a very unusual shop, even for the yarn business. Don't let the strange location put you off. This is a great resource for anyone interested in quality yarn or spinning and weaving. Tours of the ranch are offered if you would like to meet the alpacas.

We enjoyed the company of Lulu our instructor. So funny and cute! There are several choices of drink. Soda, wines etc. There's snacks available. Perfect for a date, a night out with your gang or a GNO! They offer a variety of themed nights. Upcoming highlights for late April include Blacklight 90s Mixtape nights and Date Night sets where two canvases join to create one image. I bet the "Paint Your Pet" event and candle-making workshops if you want to branch out is pretty popular! If you prefer a social "paint and sip" experience, prices are generally based on the length of the class and the surface you choose to paint on (canvas, wood, or glass). There's a 2-hour session, and a 3-hour sessions. Here's a code (DENVER26) for a $25 discount on your ticket purchase.
