Rhode Craft is a shop similar to Frog & Toad with local artisans represented but not as comical. Straightforward items from jewelry to home goods to stickers.

The reason I say it was only ok is because no one really spoke to us. We walked in and we had to go up and ask someone what to do, even though we were the only people in the studio. And then that was kind of the last time anyone spoke to us. Check ins or seeing if we had any questions would have been nice. Lots of choices and paint colors. They texted us earlier than expected to pick up, originally they said 2 weeks but it was only one which is great because 2 seemed long. Overall it was fun, but I had been years ago and it was more friendly and the artist helped us and gave feedback etc but this time it was more on your own and I had kids with me so I would have appreciated more interactions.

The store features pottery by the owner, Dwo Wen Chen that is absolutely stunning. The pieces are perfect with autumn, decorated with red and orange leaves. This place is great when you are looking for unique, special gifts. I had a difficult time finding something small for my boss that was in my price budget. Expect to pay $20-$350 for a piece of pottery. For example, I paid $18 for a small tea bag holder about 3-4" in diameter. Definitely worth a walk-through, but keep in mind that prices are pretty steep.

There are many local treasures (a great way to shop local!) and something for just about everyone with varying prices. If you don't find a gift for a loved one, I'm sure you'll find one for yourself! It's very well organized, a neat, and not overcrowded (went on a Sunday). Their "checkout" process is great. When you arrive you can get a shopping basket and you are allowed to stroll around and pick up the items you wish to purchase. When it's time to pay, you can purchase everything together at once. In my opinion, this is a great system! All of the vendors and staff were very friendly! Here are the hours/days for 2013! - I might even make it back for a second trip!

I can't say I can crochet a straight evenly sized chain yet, but I learned the chain stitch & single crochet. As a leftie, it often takes me longer to learn a craft because watching the instructor can be confusing - but Venus did a private demo for me (and for the one more advanced student she snuck in a lesson on crocheting in the round)! Great class, all around. Now I just have to learn to better control the tension in my yarn-releasing hand. I want to be ready for the new Crochet 102 class debuting in March.
