My partner and I had a lovely date night at Clay Dreaming!! We had a reservation and were welcomed…read morein as soon as we arrived. The employees showed us around and made sure we knew where everything was and how to paint our pottery. There was a wide range of items to paint, so there's something for everyone's interests and budget. There was also a wide range of colors and paint brushes. I've done pottery painting a few times and I typically feel a little let down when I get the finished piece back... but not this time! Clay dreaming's instructions and tips for painting helped my piece to turn out just how I wanted it. Thank you to clay dreaming and I recommend this place for a wonderful date night!

Wish we had more time with our projects. We started about 10 minutes late because the instructor…read morewas picking up coffee and muffins for the class, then she took about 10 minutes to go through attendance/contact info. 20 minutes out of 90 is kind of substantial. Maybe attendance could be dealt with once the class has clay in front of them and they can use the time to prep clay/think of surface decoration. Nice idea, (although eating muffins with hands in clay isn't easy) execution could use some refining.

Visiting this gallery is truly an aesthetically uplifting experience. First off, the gallery is in…read morea house located just off the Gloucester waterfront -- it'll make you want to hurl your 9-to-5 job into the ocean and go boho. The house is absolutely charming with brightly painted trim and the stairs to the entrance are stenciled with Sigrid Olsen's hand-made designs. The gallery is in Sigrid's actual house, with the living room serving as the show room. Jazzy music just flows from the Bose speakers mounted in the corners, as you are charmed by Sigrid's ceramics, paintings, and notecards. Even my children understood that they were in a special place, and were thrilled to each buy $2 postcards. You can buy a charming card for $2, $4, $5 or $10 for a handpainted card. I've bought two of her handpainted cards, and framed them for art in my bathroom. If you are lucky enough to have the $$$ and room for a painting, they range from $75 and up. Plus, the ceramics are stunning. I met Sigrid personally at the gallery, and she is very nice and down to earth. Check out Sigrid's web site for a closer look. The parking is a bit of a challenge, but if you drive around a bit, you'll probably be able to find a spot (or go on a cloudy or rainy day). Highly recommended.

Really neat location and set-up: four floors of engaging art, artists engaged in sharing their work, and an aura of conviviality, particularly during the holidays.

The art half was beautiful. There was a really wide variety of art, including paintings and pottery…read morebut also stained glass and felted pieces. The person working there (felting while she worked) was also really nice and knowledgeable. The restaurant half left something to be desired. It was hard to even find the people working there (the art person had to help). They said they didn't have everything on the menu but they were able to make a cheese board. The person who brought it didn't tell us anything about the cheeses or meats but they were all delicious. We asked for Cokes. (The person didn't ask about drinks but someone else finally thought to). The drinks definitely weren't Coke and the carbonation/syrup ratio was way off. This place could be amazing if the restaurant was even half as good as the art.

The hummus and chips were also great. They have a lot of paintings and prints and definitely a fun place to go if you like art.

Beautiful yarn selection with lovely local choices- something I always look for when traveling…read more Owner was very friendly and pointed out an item I may have missed otherwise. Also plenty of smaller items that were perfect for gifts like cards, stickers and stitch markers. Prices were what I expect from an independent yarn store selling premium yarns. I also picked up a sweatshirt with last year's Fiber Witch Festival art. Hope to attend next year in person!

Super cute "accessories" (stitch markers, bags, etc). I also found everything reasonably priced for how high quality they are. I'm comfortable here as a queer person who is self taught in knitting and occasionally asks beginner questions. Lucy in particular helped me once with an after thought heel and turned me on to German short row heels. Game changer guys. They also have social events that I'd like to attend when I'm not working, which all look so fun. I love their community and you can book help time, which makes a huge difference in my confidence trying new things. I cannot recommend them enough. I haven't met Ana but we've chatted and she cares so much. I love the energy poured into this shop and community. Thanks guys!
