You can either create pottery and then come back later to paint it or do what I did and paint on a plate or coffee mug or even car! I'm not artistic at all but they let you print some images and give tracing paper so it can turn out just how you want! Definitely recommend it to others, especially group close-knit activities!

For a small slice of Etsy-ness, The Local Market (stylized as THE locAL market) is where it's at…read more You'll find jewelry, paintings, ceramics (elegant black pieces from Civil Stoneware), woodworking (gorgeous bowls made by Turner Porter), t-shirts, cards, edibles, and way more, all from makers in the Auburn area and other parts of the state. The gals working were quite nice and helpful. The Local Market offers nifty classes and other events periodically; check out their website and social media for more info. I overheard that this shop will soon be relocating to its new home inside of J&M since this building will become luxury condos (side note: what isn't becoming condos?). I didn't have any intention of buying something for myself but ended up leaving with some jewelry, oops! If you've been to The Beehive in Atlanta, The Local Market reminds me a lot of it. Definitely stop by and check out what amazing stuff local creative types have to offer.

Kudos to places who provide space for people to come together to do things they love like work on…read morefiber arts! I was visiting ATL for the weekend and wanted to visit some yarn stores so the Craftivist came up in my research. I saw that they host events for people to come in and work on their fiber arts a few times a week so this sold me on visiting! When I stopped in, I was greeted and there was space for me to sit down. I even got some help on my project. It was so nice to be community with people who love the fiber arts for a little while. I look forward to supporting their business since they also ship!

I recently had a private knitting lesson here…read more The instructor begin with telling me the different types of forms yarn comes in, ie. hanks, skeins and balls along with other information about knitting. After the introduction the instructor picked out a wood circular knitting needle for me. The reason for choosing the wood I was told it would help hold the yarn better for a beginner versus a metal needle. When it came time to choose the yarn I was told to make my choice from a small area. I picked a mustard yarn. The next day I received an invoice from the store because I didn't pay for the items. Silly me. I assumed because I was only allowed to pick out from a certain section that it was included with the lesson that I had paid for. Unfortunately, because the yarn I chose was quite small. It has been difficult as a beginner working with it. There have been a lot of starts and stops which I would expect but more so because of the size of the yarn. I have since learned as a beginner I should have a bulkier yarn. When I left that day, I had not gotten the hang of the cast on, or the knit stitch. Five minutes before the class was to end we had just finished casting on and that didn't leave much time for the knitting since the store was opening. Since taking the class I have been able to get the hang of the cast on and the knit stitch thanks to Sheep and Stitch on YouTube. I think the reason I didn't get the hang of it in the store was because of the teaching style. It just didn't mesh with my learning style. I would definitely recommend the classes to anyone here. Very professional staff. Because the yarn I ended up purchasing isn't good for beginners. I did call the store to see if I could exchange it, but I was told they would not accept it because it had already been wound. The staff was very nice. They were very helpful when customers came in.
