They have a lot of nick-nacks for sale, which I love! Their hats have original designs that I found tempting but had to hold off on. They also sell shirts, mugs and a variety of other sculptures. There was so much to see. I purchased a sheet of stickers for $8 and a ceramic cup I plan to use as a spoon holder went for $35 . Katie Kimmel, the artist/owner, was welcoming and engaging! She wrapped my ceramic cup in the cutest tissue paper! Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will be back again!

This shop has a feeling of peace and calmness all built into one.

I took an Introduction to Macrame Weaving class last week at Craft. I have been an Art Teacher for…read more10 years and was very excited to learn some new skills to teach the young ones. The class was scheduled for 2 hours. We ended an hour early with an end product that was a bit underwhelming. Our instructor was friendly enough, though never introduced herself nor took the time to ask the class (all 3 of us) our names. I wrote a letter to the owner and never got a response back. Highly unlikely I will return. Below is the letter I sent, including a few other underwhelming aspects to the class: "Hello! I took last evening's Macrame Weaving workshop. As I was driving back to Long Beach last evening after the class, I had some time to reflect on the workshop. I signed up for it to learn a new skill that I could potentially teach my students. (I've been an Art Teacher for many years). Unfortunately, I feel very disappointed with the class as a whole, as well as with our end result product. I believe the owner was there last evening; I regret not having pulled her aside to chat, though I wasn't quite clear on how I felt about the class until I was on my ride home. Our instructor was very friendly and I so appreciate the use of the high quality organic cotton cord. I also appreciated the hand out with the images of various knot styles. However, I don't even know what our instructor's name was. She never introduced herself or asked our names - there were only two other participants besides myself. We ended class nearly an hour early. This feels like a waste of project making and learning time. Either the project we did was too simple or our instructor wasn't thoroughly prepared. Her instruction was okay, though I don't think it is very helpful to physically do something for the student which she did a number of times. I believe it is more helpful to walk them through it verbally while allowing them to do it to experience the motions and acquire muscle memory. Craft is a great space! I wanted to share my thoughts because I think the class I took last evening could be improved upon for future students. Thank you for reading, Ivette"

We registered 5 weeks summer camp mainly in Pasadena, but it started a week after summer vacation so we had to find something for them and Thank God! Yes, it was the answer.

We highly recommend people who live in local area just check this place out. They have fun things for kids and adults as well.

They also double as a supply & stationery store, so I had to check them out! I parked on Blake Avenue, a 6-minute walk along the LA River bike path. They were easy to locate, given their close proximity to the river and ample signage. The property is spacious, with the supply store and stationery section located at the front entrance. Behind this, the ceramic studios are set up toward the back, making it easy to explore the shop before heading into the studio area. The shop is charming! They offered goods from artisan clay to rustic twine. Exploring the shop was delightful. I bought a compact toolbox and a sleek folding knife. Gift cards are also available. Thank you, Gina, for the hospitality! The Armenian coffee was delicious and I look forward to attending a workshop. Support local and women owned businesses!

Highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for luxurious, actually long-lasting and amazing smelling candles.
