There seems to art galleries and spaces popping up everywhere in Durham these days - Supergraphic…read moreis one of them. This place is an art gallery and workshop all in one located in the downtown area that provides work space and equipment for artists in the back as well as a mini gallery space in the front for print related art. I had the pleasure of attending a showing of an artist here last weekend. It was a small, low key affair, but the owner (former Duke grad and current UNC art professor) as well as the artist and several people who worked at Supergraphic were here. I got a neat little tour of the place and saw some works in progress as well as completed works in the back room where the work space is. The rental rates to use the space seemed very reasonable: $10/hour for the space and $10/session for screen rental. They also offer print making classes.

Hey Monkey Design

It all started when I went to an event, Cocktails & Cosmonauts, at the Museum of Life and Science…read more They had a station where you could screen print your own poster with the event's logo, so I hightailed it over there. When it was my turn, the screen printing pro and I chatted about team building events. I grabbed a card and reached out the very next day. After explaining what I had in mind (a workshop for my running group so that we could print some t-shirts), I was handed over to Lenny at Hey Monkey! Lenny was so easy to work with. He understood that organizing these things is akin to herding cats, so he set everything up to be as smooth and painless as possible. And then there was the actual event. It was so much fun! Woo-woo warning: I don't know exactly what was going on, but my group brought some really negative energy into Lenny's studio. Fortunately, Lenny just carried on, kept his upbeat attitude, and (most) everyone had an amazing time! It's been less than a week and I'm pretty sure everyone has worn their shirts at least once. I'm hoping to do it again for the folks I work with!

Feeling the need to second what Nina B wrote. I was part of the same group activity and the event…read morecould have easily crashed and burned. In fact, with anyone other than Lenny at the helm, I suspect it would have. Lenny was great-calm, cool, and collected. The vibe at his studio is excellent and his teaching style both friendly and approachable. Highly, highly recommended. As a post-script, I saw 4 of the shirts Lenny helped us print in the wild last evening. They looked awesome.

I'm not sure if she was trying to pull a scam but she scans my receipt with the QR code and then says I need to pay for a box. I asked why, because the instructions from amazon tell you that a box is not necessary (when you start the return) and literally the information on the receipt says "Show the return code to an associate, who will scan the QR code, pack, and ship your return for free." - See the photo below - I told her that I didn't need to provide a box and she refused to give me a receipt with my tracking information. We went round and round for several minutes about this, even after me reading the instruction information to her. I had to call amazon from the store (which took forever) and in the meantime I found a box, then pack it myself for this woman because she said that it was policy. I know it's not policy and the fact that she is forcing people to buy a box at their ridiculously marked up prices is absolutely outrageous. This location has had particularly bad customer service in the past and this was officially the last straw for me. Called in to Amazon and they opened up an investigation. In the meantime, be warned and don't get hustled.

We had so much fun and will definitely be back again!

Okay, everything about this place was incredible. I was truly blown away…read more First of all, it's super clean. We came here at a 3pm on a Monday afternoon and there was maybe one or two other guests playing there. It was a quiet start. Even with the uptick in guests later on, the employees were consistently cleaning up after the children and putting toys back to where they had originally been. It's $12 per kid with adult and $4 per additional adult guest. They don't currently offer membership options but they do have discounted Open Play package plans available: 4 play sessions for $44, 8 play sessions for $84, or 16 sessions for $156. They are designed for children aged 6 months up to 6 years. I absolutely loved the music they played which can best be described as low-fi and chill vibes all around. Just as an example, El Michels Affair- C.R.E.A.M. I can honestly say that this is the first time I've heard music sampling Wu-Tang at a kids play place but I ain't mad about it. There are classes on Mondays and Fridays for the "older kids" aged 3-6. The room looked super cool. They start off with a circle time style stories and songs then move off to the (baby) gated area with multiple sensory play experiences set up on tables. They've got a "calm room" complete with sensory sequined pillow and other touch opportunities, puzzles, books, glitter tubes, and noice cancelling headphones for kids feeling overwhelmed or needing to decompress. There is a variety of robots/toy cars/bugs on shelves on the left hand wall for kids to play with in the quiet (calm) room. The 2 bugs are the only ones that are not remote control operated and can be played with in the main play area. Ask an employee for help and they will unlock the cabinet and provide you with the remote control and instructions for how to operate these toys. They've got wi-fi, classes, so much fun stuff everywhere, and a food and drink area that offers kid snacks for purchase as well as complimentary coffee and tea for the adults! Amazing. Everything about the Wonder Lab is so thoughtfully designed. It is such a cozy and fun and welcoming place and you can really see and feel the effort put into the play space. All the spaces are utilized so well and with varying themes throughout (outer space, arctic felt wall, etc). I could go on and on. I love the Wonder Lab!!!
