I made some Christmas ornaments and I'm so pleased with how they came out. Mary is such a pleasure to work with. The studio is so calm and beautiful and has every single thing you need to do any kind of fusing or Stained Glass project. Her guidance and wisdom is invaluable. And her oatmeal chocolate chip raisin cookies are the frosting on top. Thank you Mary!

I drove from Novato to San Rafael to make a purchase from Michael's, and after about twenty…read moreminutes of gathering the items that I needed, I went to check out. They have several self check machines, and once check stand with a human. As I approached the human, they said "I'm closed," I asked if there was another human to help me, they responded "No, but you can check yourself out," I let them know that I don't use self checkout, and I wanted a human to help me. They walked away. I left everything at the checkout Anne exited the store. This is horrible customer service.

I was surprised how well stocked the needle arts section was-- good selection of crochet hooks,…read moreembroidery thread options mostly all full, and a generous selection of yarn. I mostly came for assorted storage bins for my craft supplies (especially a thread bobbin box-- only six bucks and perfect!) but also happened upon some cute Easter basket stuffers in the seasonal/holiday section at the front. Many items were 40% off as they often have deals running. I also noticed they have a pretty good selection of decently priced frames, small to large (20"+). Service wasn't really a thing but I was happy and fine to peruse on my own.

They had a really impressive, quality, and fun assortment of art supply this and that in their funky and cool shop, and In no time I had a basket full of amazing treasures, and a head filled with new ideas and inspiration!! I also had the pleasure of chatting it up with the very welcoming, charismatic and fun owners! I sincerely look forward to my next visit there! They make art supplies accessible, affordable, fun, and non intimidating. It's important we support their mission, because they're doing great work! I'll definitely be back to donate and to shop!

I had a lovely time shopping here with my mom recently. I've been coming to Dharma with her since I…read morewas a kid, but our most recent trip had a different purpose for me as a newly minted knitter. Their customer service was friendly and helpful without feeling stifling; they gave us room to browse, which was nice. They offer various classes that sound fun and interesting. I appreciated the friendly vibes; their sale section had some great finds, too. They're committed to selling ethically sourced products and won't sell things made in sweatshops, which is excellent and makes me so much more inclined to shop there again. I've been interested in trying Shibori dyeing for a while and will likely return soon to buy supplies and more yarn. Overall, they have good vibes all round, and I recommend them for your crafting needs.

As an added bonus, if the product is something I can order sight unseen, they will make it available for pickup in their Petaluma warehouse - fifteen minutes from home. I have never had unpleasant interactions with their staff, nor gotten bad instructions. I recommend them to inquiries from Facebook costumers for fabric and dyes.

We decided to check this place out, called a week ahead to rsvp since only open M-TH 11-2 for tours, it was spring break so perfect timing. JAke was our tour guide, she was very informative and Sweet. Tour was about an hour long. You get an mini bag filled with stickers when your done! $7 adults $5 kids spend $30 at store & get $7 back for taking a tour. Take an earlier tour if you can. Only one avail was 2pm when I called. The downside since it's so far is traffic , we left promptly at 3pm & got stuck on highway 37 for an hour , so our drive home became 2.5 hours
