This is my favorite fabric and sew store in Albuquerque. The staff is friendly, helpful and kind…read more Their fabrics are traditional as well as modern, with some contemporary and Asian motifs.

Women owned shop!…read more In a strange location, but on a well-known road in ABQ - Rio Grande. Across the side street from the Co-op. If you are a seamstress, or wanting to be one (they have classes!) this little shop is worth checking out. My foray into sewing years ago proved that I need to stick to sewing buttons on and repairing small teares in garments. But . . . having said that . . . I was totally awed by the fantastic display of materials and finished projects. Some of the most beautiful cottons & wools. Colorful! Elegant! Eye catching. Might even be worth taking a class for this clutz! Or just buy a piece or two of your favorite patterns and frame them. Definitely stop in this shop when you pass by - give yourself a little exploring time. A hidden gem.

This is an amazing local space with art studios and gallery spaces. Local artists rent studio space…read moreto have a place to create. It is also a shared space with the " Kosmos" reataurant, a fabulous, artsy/intergalactic restaurant. There are always interesting shows up in the gallery space as well as artists consistently creating and exploring new art ideas in the art studios. It's delightfully quirky and weird -making it fit right into Albuquerque's local art culture scene. Definitely one of Albuquerque's local gems! I 100% recommend a visit.

Such a fun event / neat idea. My aunts, cousins, and I did the "Baby it's cold" outside session at…read moreChama River Brewing Company (yes, if you wanted wine it was extra but still). We were supposed to draw a red bird surrounded by a snowy background. The neat thing was that you could go as fast or as slow as you wanted, follow the instructor or slightly create your own masterpiece, and no one picture came out the same way (hey, I'm not artist but I was really concentrating). We loved it and would definitely go back (I hear there's a rainbow galactic space unicorn?? Whaaa?!)

Attended an event last night at O'Niell's Nob Hill. Meet up with a few friends to paint the Rainbow…read moreGalactic Space Unicorn. Yup. When I arrived, the room was already set up with work stations. We picked our places up in the front. The class alternates between instruction for each step and periods of music where you just create. It was easy enough to follow, and it was fun to put my own spin on the design. Loved it and would do again!

I'm probably generationally challenged but, having known former owners since the days of Downtown…read moreCentral Avenue, I find the current Wright's Gallery less and less accessible. The quality remains excellent, though the prices often top retail, reflecting the artists' desires more than the market. Owners may rightfully see to the gallery's exclusivity, though a more welcoming, accessible, technically less cumbersome presence on the internet will be a welcome improvement.

Visited the new Wright's Indian Art location and found it much nicer than the old site. Less…read moreinventory in the gallery but better quality. Great staff, very courteous and knowledgeable also.

We took two grand kids (ages 5 and 7) to Creativity Warehouse for a pottery class that was…read moreadvertised in the January Cibola Neighborhood alerts. The pottery class was $40 per child. There were only 3 children signed up for the "Kids Clay workshop", so there was plenty of opportunity for the teacher to provide one-on-one attention to them. There was not much direction or instruction from the teacher on how to prepare the clay or proper painting technique to use on clay. She did demonstrate how to attach items to clay by scraping. For this age, we felt there should have been more instruction on designing of the objects and directions on how to paint the clay, so when fired, the color would be more vibrant. The color of the completed pieces was very washed out, almost if they had been just painted with water color. The teacher said the project would be ready in 7 to 10 days and that we would receive a text when the pieces were ready to pick up. It took 21 days and we were never notified for pick-up. We had to personally check 3 times to see if project had been completed and was ready to pick up. Very disappointed in the service after paying over $80 for the class.

Classes vary and can include crochet, painting, etc. I took my little girls and they just happened to have paint with a Princess where there was Anna and Elsa and they spent so much time engaging with the kids.
