But I was genuinely bummed. As the Cbus Yelp scene grows, it gets harder to find new places. CS Gallery was a bit of a surprise. I knew that a number of shops had been opening surrounding the little strip of Parsons that you'd be lying if you didn't contribute to Carabar opening up on the street five years ago or however long it's been. Back then there were maybe two other shops on this strip, excluding AWOL and Black Creek. But what I didn't expect to find was art that actually appealed to me. Not that I didn't think it could happen, or didn't think I would find such a thing at CS, but more that I have been to a large number of the galleries in the Short North and I hate about all of them. I actually enjoyed my evening at CS though. That was the surprise. They had free food, beer, and wine set up in a room off to the side, and the main room plus a back room filled wall to wall with art from regional artists (east coast and midwest mostly). They were having a contest for the best picture, but I didn't catch the winner. I saw two people I knew quite unexpectedly, one a retired philosophy professor from my alma mater, another from work. And of course the company of my friends Frankie and Gwen. What a fun time!

This interesting little shop is in the heart of the new arts district in Old Towne East. It's a…read moreprint-shop, paper-making studio, bookmaking joint, and covers everything you'd ever need to see or know about paper. If you need a unique gift, or are looking to treat yourself, check out the hand-made journals. These little lovelies are hand-bound sheets of handmade paper, and often covered with scraps of leather or other durable, interesting materials. There are sweet little notecards, sheets of textured paper, and prints on the walls. The owner, Daniel Colvin, also specializes in calligraphy. He can hand-make your wedding invitations, or any other special invitation, book, or paper product that you need. Have you seen movies about long ago, where a count or king or Dracula seals his letter with sealing wax, then stamps it with a special insignia? You can buy these kinds of stamps and sticks of wax here too- I thought those were really cool. Be like Dracula and buy your insignia here, then send off your creepy letters on handmade paper. Sounds fun, doesn't it?

My sister, who is an avid cross stitcher, enjoyed perusing the shelves and looking at threads and patterns. One of the things my sister was very excited to find was hand-dyed backing and a beautiful pattern for a stained glass window. When she couldn't find something she was looking for, she asked for help and received it. The ladies working there were a little quirky, but I think that's to be expected in a cross stitch shop. We also enjoyed meeting Romeo, the beagle. He was very calm and just enjoyed some sniffs and pets before letting us shop.

The retail shop is housed in the Snow House which is the oldest house in Worthington. It has some office space, a kitchen for the staff, and several rooms of handcrafted goodies.

Terra Gallery is a working gallery that hosts a variety of hands on events listed either on their site or on eventbrite. I didn't spend much time exploring the gallery because I was pretty sure I'd need all of the time for my project, but there were a lot of interesting looking pieces that I will plan to explore more in the future. The space is a little small, but they have made good use of it, and are planning a move across to Bridge Park soon. I was glad I recruited a friend to join, because we were the only two people in the class! It was a fairly laid back event. The instructor had sketched out the details on the canvases before we arrived, and they provided a little instruction card that kind of showed how to build your piece up. As usual with these events, we ended up with two very different finished products, and my friend chose not to add some of the elements to her piece. April helped her take things out as she preferred. Since it was just the two of us, we were chatting and painting and the instructor was working on her own piece while another woman priced pieces in the gallery. They were very friendly and I had a great time!
