This was a great value for a fun little activity and I'm already looking forward to coming back.

I bought a 16 oz. bottle of Scotch Spray Mount adhesive and paid $20. If you look online, you can get it for as little as $5. But if you can't wait for shipping or if you need to look at a product firsthand before you buy, it's a good choice. Compared with Pearl in Philly, it's smaller but it has free parking and no tolls. Note: For first timers, the rear entrance is exceedingly confusing. Enter through the front door even if you have to walk around.

Amazing store! When I went in I was greeted by an older gentleman who owns the store. He was super…read morefriendly and I enjoyed talking to him about the town for a few minutes. He has two resident cats in the store who I ADORE. (Thunder and lightning). I was impressed with their selection of oils, water colors, acrylics, brushes, canvases, pens and pencils, books and everything in between. The prices were LESS than hobby lobby and the usual horrible chain 'craft stores'. This store is for actual art. He also carries office supplies and other things. I hope people want to support such a great store in our town!! He even gave me a discount my first time in. :) can't wait to go back.

Great for date night, girls night out, family time or honestly anything!…read more I did the pottery date night class and it was so awesome! It starts out with a small cocktail hour (no alcohol, other beverages and finger foods) in the clay studio gift shop. You get some time to look some cool stuff on display and can purchase them too! The actual pottery making was around 90mins, 60mins on the wheel and about 30mins to glaze the piece. There is one main instructor and a few assistant instructors that walk around and help you out. You watch a demo first and then get hands on at making your own bowl! The instructors are really patient and if you mess up, they'll hand you another ball of clay. I screwed up many of my pieces and got super embarrassed but they'd joke and make it fun. You get to pick 2 pieces to keep out of all the ones you make during the 60mins. I ended up with 2 small succulent pots, super excited to put my plants in! The glazing is pretty simple. There are a handful of basic colors to choose from and you just paint them on. Afterwards the studio will fire the pieces and then ship then to an address you designate. We got ours a little earlier than 2weeks so it was a nice surprise! I would definitely go to another session again and may even commit to the longer semester classes...just need to free up time . If you're considering this, definitely do it!

Honestly cannot believe it was my first time here! What an amazing establishment in Philadelphia…read more The Resource Exchange is located inside of a large warehouse with maker spaces and other establishments. You can't miss the HUGE colorful mural on the outside in the parking lot, but the RE itself is on the right side. Conveniently located by a 3 bus stop as well. I was in the market for some postcards and other papercraft supplies and brought some scrapbook paper I knew I wouldn't use with me to donate as well. The staff was very nice and organized. After seeing the true breadth of all of the various materials sold at the RE, I will definitely bring more miscellaneous craft stuff with me to donate next time. Have to make room for new stuff! I was able to purchase some postcards (they were 50 cents each or 3 for $1), a container to hold some of my other materials, and a set of Dublin stickers, all for $15 flat. Cannot stress enough how AFFORDABLE stuff is. In general I would say go in to look around and not want anything too specific, especially on a busy day like a Saturday, because it was a bit crowded. But they had materials truly for all typees of crafts: fabric, knitting, sewing, painting, papercrafts, jewelry, woodworking... as well as larger materials. Really affordable and hope to get the word out about this place! There are two gender-neutral restrooms located in the lobby of the building as well as part of the shared space.
