The services and opportunities this non-profit agency provides for its artists is amazing. I have a…read morerelative with disabilities who loves this program. She carries frustrations with her that are connected to the challenges she faces every day, and going to Spindleworks relieves that frustration for her. She enjoys creating art or fine crafts, but more than that, she expresses herself through her art in ways she cannot verbally. When she first began, she only created one simple form of finished work, but they encouraged her over s long period of time to branch out, and now she creates art in many different ways: painting, weaving, ceramics and more. And on the more practical side, Spindleworks has a store that you have to visit. The products are unique and expressive, and a good percentage of the purchases goes to the artists, as it should be. A new twist is that after you are done shopping in the store itself, you can explore the entire artist facility, as they also have items for sale on display in all the art rooms.

I loved visiting this store in Freeport! There are 5 different Abacus locations and this one is…read moreprobably my favorite. It's a wonderful store to find unique gifts and home decor at a reasonable price. The employees at this location are very kind and helpful. They knew a lot about the items in the store and anything they were unsure of they found more information for me. The building itself is beautifully designed and a staple of Freeport history. My only concern was that my older mother had a difficult time getting up the large concrete stairs because there's no handicap-friendly entrance. However, our experience inside Abacus was wonderful. We will be back closer to Christmas time to stock up for Christmas!

Nice selection of quality products, and the brush selection is really good. They carry professional level brands of brush that can't be purchased locally elsewhere, as well as some decent bargain lines. This is an artist's store that also has some kids' stuff, not vice versa.

Perfect spot to find a wedding or bridal shower gift. I had gone in to purchase a new tide clock for my mother, the mechanism in hers no longer worked (after many years). Before I even picked out a clock the employee informed me that the mechanism can be replaced for only 7 dollars while a new clock was 50 dollars. I was so impressed she informed me of this voluntarily and potentially missing a sale. I bought a new clock and plan to have the old one fixed. The other aspect it love about this store is the space. You can browse and see everything without feeling as though your purse will knock over a 100 dollar piece of pottery. Defiantly check this place out if you're in need of a unique gift.
