They have a ton of fun classes for adults and children that they have on a pretty regular basis. I have been to do the gnome class where you get to make a gnome out of clay yourself and then paint it. They are super helpful and break things down to a simple level. You'll be suprised at how great your project ends up looking. Friendly place and its so much fun. I look forward to checking out some of their future classes.

I can't wait to visit this store when I come to Grand Junction!…read more Randomly found this gift shop online and called with an unusual request. Natasha answered. I live in Dallas and found out an immediate family member was "quietly" getting married that very same day!! Natasha, not only helped me pick out a custom gift by a featured artisan, but added a gift card, pretty gift fluff and even delivered it that very same day to help us Congratulate the new bride & groom!

Ok this place rocked! Seasons to follow was jam packed with Christmas time goodies from ornaments…read moreand tree garland to all sort of decorative items that I was on trinket overload. I would assume that this place does, in fact, follow the seasons and being that it is the weekend after Thanksgiving, 'tis the season to shop here for Holiday lovelies. We ended up picking a couple of ornaments for our first tree together ( a penguin on a clothes pin, a baby Jesus "hope" ornament and a snowman with a funny face) and all for only $12. I found this shop to be affordable and friendly ( a dog and kitten were roaming around), someplace I would gladly support on a trip back to Grand Junction.

This shop reminds me of some of the local, cozy neighborhood crafting stores back home. Every time I'm near main street I have to stop in and look around. They carry a plethora of yarn in any color imaginable. I prefer not to spend a fortune on yarn, but if I'm going to do it, this is the place. My favorite little feature is the table stocked with individual pattern cards. They are affordable, easy to follow and just plain cute. A must visit for any knitter/crafter.

Thinking about moving from Chicago, so I needed to see my options for yarn in GJT. Beautifully decorated. Well organized. Beautiful samples. Great selection of yarns--the kind where you just keep touching everything from one wall to another. Didn't have enough luggage space to walk away with any yarn, but I did get a souvenir bag with their adorable logo. Noticed that they have classes and Monday night open knitting.

Not only was the class perfect, well structured, and well equipped, but Anderson Ranch is just one of the most wonderful places to spent a week of vacation, while learning something cool and enjoying the Colorado mountains. The dorms a a bit sparse, but that isn't a complaint:-) Meeting very nice people, you wont spent much time in the dorm anyway. I saw the pottery people pull all-nighters all the time. It is just so much fun to do your own studies, watch others do very creative stuff (painting, wood work, pottery, etc.), and enjoy evening speakers events with truly inspiring Artists. They have a great cafeteria (with a delicious changing menu, always incl. a vegetarian option), a meeting hall, store with art materials and art pieces from the ranch, child care, and more. Each course had its own ranch house. Very cool! I hope I can be back soon, for another class.

Overall, it was a very nice gallery that we enjoyed a lot

I went with a group of four girls, there was a few other women there and one man flying solo. He was a pilot and was exercising his creativity while his client was having dinner. He seemed to have fun with all of us women. His passenger stopped in at the end of the evening saying he got a few text about how much fun he was having and had to check it out. The music playing was so fun for our group. Not sure how Julie, the owner, knew what to play but we were all singing out loud while we painted to a mix of 80's and 90's. We played 'guess that tune' and we won a free Butterfinger candy bar. We would walk around checking out each other's painting and encouraging each other with uplifting comments and praise. Some would put their own twist on the painting while other stuck strictly to the instruction. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed. I can't wait to go back.

I think we got started around 7pm. She slightly rushed because she knew she was late. Besides all that, I can see how this is fun and can be an overall great experience.
