I enjoyed my first shopping experience here. I had to take a drive to get here but it was worth the…read moretrip to see all the amazing supplies they carry. I'll definitely return again simply because of the assortment of options for every medium you can think. Be advised you'll need to find street parking (I easily found something nearby). So since i paid for the hour I took the time to do a lap of the store. I was greeted quickly by the staff (assisted with directions for the supplies I came for). They were sure to check on me and my progress and helped me sign up for future discounts. I think it's definitely worth the drive to come if you're having a hard time finding a specialty brand or niche supply. They carry everything you can think of. Some more reasonably priced (as well as more premium products for those who want to splurge).

The shop has been around for decades along with the owner including bearing the brunt of two floods.

They have moved steadily uphill since the first location (with colorful dresses hung outside as an aura-of-the-day) suffered so much with the flood. Not so many clothes these days, but fabulous jewelry.

I've been to a similar shop like this back home in Los Angeles (Remainders in Pasadena for those…read moreinterested) and now that I live in Baltimore and remain a frequent crafter (sewist, knitter, and general hobbyist), I was delighted to find out this shop existed. I've been on the hunt for some cheap supplies, specifically a pinback button machine as this is around $50-60 new online and since I'm using funds from the school club I'm in to buy it; this felt excessive. Unfortunately they didn't have this machine and apparently only have ones in stock like this once in a while as they tend to go fast. Not deterred, I kept exploring the rest of the shop. Price wise, this place is THE best craft store you can and should stop into before going elsewhere to see if they have supplies you could use. You name it; they have it or have had it in the past. Supply varies as they depend on donations but with some supplies I bought costing just a quarter, I truly cannot be mad. They had yarn, paper supplies, knitting supplies, beadwork items, sewing supplies including patterns and zippers and sewing feet, stationary and scrapbook/journaling supplies. I absolutely recommend any crafters on a budget to come out here.

But they have a strong multi-building enclave only a stone's throw from Pennsylvania Station, Baltimore. The MICA store is for the art students. Although stores like Utrecht carry some items, the MICA store has some unique items. The poster art for instance sold at the store features designs from the Globe Poster business which MICA purchased in 2010 when the Globe went out of business. In the pre-social media days when flyers advertised music acts, The Globe Press had clients like Tina Turner, James Grown, The Temptations, etc. who would call in orders. Some of that poster art lives on at the MICA Store. The store also carries some cool books and gifts that I have not seen at a Utrecht's. And of course, like any university, the MICA Store sells cool t-shirts, sweatshirts, stickers, and bags with Maryland Institute College of Art's distinct logo. Definitely an interesting stop for anyone with an interest in art or design.

I did the mud & merlot class. Interesting name as there was no merlot lol. I'm not sure if it's BYOB but no one was drinking which is fine because I don't drink myself. I'm not sure where one would place their bottle or glass anyway. Anywho, didn't care for the teacher. She rushed through explaining what to do. Thankfully there were assistants who helped the group as needed. So you do have to come back for a separate class to glaze your pottery. I'm not sure if that was explained in the initial booking. Parking is non existent in Ellicott city. Please plan your trip well.
