I bought a rose quartz shaped like a pig, which I would almost never find at my normal shops. The only improvement I have overall is the staff although friendly, weren't very attentive. It seemed like all of them were going lives to push online sales, fair enough, but it's just a bad look to in store costumers. I would go here again but I live out of state so not likely .

Granted, I don't know enough about yarn to evaluate this store based on its selection, but I'll…read moretell you what I do know: I've been in quite a few yarn stores, some small, some big, and I've had my share of experiences. Some yarn stores feel like private clubs, where staff subtly let me know that by browsing their wares I'm interrupting their knitting projects. Some yarn stores only have the most expensive, exclusive yarns available. Yarns Unlimited isn't either. For one, I received tremendously good advice on picking out yarn for a scarf, and the salesperson even advised me away from some of their more expensive yarns, suggesting that they weren't appropriate for what I wanted. Also, while I was there, a customer came in for some help with a project, and the assistance was provided free of charge. Yarns Unlimited strikes me as exactly the kind of place that builds business through loyalty, and if I lived in the area I'd go back there often. As it was, I made a sizable purchase.

I'd been using 12 inch diameter, a little large for my projects, and had tried 5 in diameters -- too small . don't waste your money on amazon, ordering chinese junk 5 "" needles. come to Oakmont yarn where they'll know exactly the right needles you need. (I've been knitting for decades. And I never knew there are 9 inch circular needles. . . )

The store was spacious and very well decorated and organized. I fell in love with some of their jewelry pieces... especially the ones from Aileen Lampman. Although, we were just window shopping, the girl was very nice and asked if we needed any help. I would love to return to spend some more time checking out their stuff. They have anything from candles to greeting cards, to jewelry to other novelty items.

I was told i could only return it BEFORE DECEMBER 24th! That's so wrong. She only bought it on December 23rd! Sales person said it was in the "fine print" on the receipt. SHAME ON YOU OWNER!!!

My husband and I came here to paint a couple items. There is a TON to choose from here!! They have…read moreanimals & various figurines, plates, platters, mugs, and other dishes, as well as vases and planters. There's an option to paint or choose some sturdier pottery to do pour glazing on. They also do wheel throwing courses! For painting, we chose a mug and a small planter. The prices are listed on the bottom of each item and it comes with all the supplies, paint, and final firing. There is not table fee here like at other places. The staff is incredible. They remember you by name when you come in and are so helpful with picking out ideas, sharing techniques, and getting colors for you to use. If you don't finish your item the first time, you can come back and finish a 2nd time at no cost! ($10 if you come back after that on the same item.) We came just us the first time, and the 2nd time we came back with our son. It is a very different experience with kids vs adults, but either way is fun!

From explaining the different painting options to the different pieces to the pickup! We had a great time, and all of the pieces were bubble-wrapped, labeled, and had care instructions for pickup. I couldn't recommend Katie's Clay Studio enough for all ages. My mug was $29 before gratuity.

You may not expect to have fun when going to get your art framed, but it is possible when you're…read moredealing with Mark! I brought in a wide variety of different pieces to have framed, some for my teenager's room and some that were photos I took. Mark did an amazing job of adapting to the needs and purpose of each piece. He has a huge variety of frames and mats, but most importantly, an eye for what will really bring out the best in a piece. He is an artist at his craft, and a storyteller! It was so nice to deal with a family-owned business and see his pride in his family history captured on the walls of his shop. We have found our picture framing master! As a side note, his turnaround times are remarkably short compared to what I would have expected. One piece with a custom-ordered frame will take about a month but the rest are only a couple weeks' wait. Will update when I pick them up!

I believe this is a treasure trove if you're shopping for gifts for loved ones. And never met such a passionate and knowledgable storeowner! Ask him questions, he knows what he's talking about and wants to teach! He was also great with the child who was checking out with his parent while we were there. (: Also relaxing music being played, we didn't feel at all rushed, and they had a nice place to sit which is so valuable as a disabled individual, many shops do not. Thank you friend!!

My husband first noticed the store while we were driving through Pittsburgh, and when things changed with my father's plans for his art collection, we reached out to Bill for guidance. He couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. He took the time to consult with us, understand our situation, and ultimately took my father's pottery collection on consignment. He even came out to our storage unit in suburban Pittsburgh to pick everything up himself. Bill's shop is in the Strip District, and based on our experience with him, you can tell he genuinely cares about the art and the people behind it. We're incredibly grateful for his professionalism and compassion. Highly recommend.

We're not Rockefellers, tho, so places like Penn Avenue Pottery are perfect: a huge range of pricing -- from reasonable to ridic -- and a nice variety of art. In this case, ceramics. PAP is an artists' co-op, so the artists share overhead and work hours. Since Pops is a member of an artists' co-op, I particularly like to support them. And I was happy to part with my pennies here: husband and I picked up a great little whimsical piece of a moon-faced man to hang on a wall for under 15 bucks.
