(I was actually trying to find an ABC location.) For an excellent and very descriptive review, please read the one posted by "Taylor R" on 2/4/2023. I hope the pictures I have posted will help explain the pricing and the hours they are open. This is a must visit for people who enjoy being crafty, scrappy, and artistic.

Well this is your store to take them. Want to try a new hobby but not spend a ton? Go get some material here to practice on or try your hand at. While there a few weeks ago here is what I saw through the store: glass bottles, fabric, yarn, crochet hooks, knitting needles, kids crafts, leather, paints, scrapbooking paper, crafting books, albums, and organizers. You really can find anything there. I highly recommend going there if you want to try a new hobby or take supplies to.

I've also gotten gifts there when I'm out of ideas. Highly recommend this store. I'm really sorry about the experience the other reviewer had-- because there is institutional racism everywhere in our culture. There are African-American employees there and I hope they have a better experience next time.

May 8, 2026 - I went into this store to buy a 3-D Mother's Day card. The 2 employees there were…read morevery, very rude. When the door bell rung allerting them that a new customer had arrived, the one at the cash register looked up but did not say a word. 1 employee was in an aisle with a customer talking, blocking the aisle. When I walked in the aisle , the employee did not more but continued blocking the aisle. I had to walk around to another aisle to get to the end of the aisle they were in. When I was at the cash register to pay, both employees were at the registers. The door bell rung again and a white man walked in. Both employees looked up and said welcome. Yet, when I, an African-American woman entered their store, the employee at the register looked up but said nothing. When they both spoke to the white gentleman, I put my card down on a table where I was waiting and left. I will not pay for such poor, evil customer service.

You drop in and can choose from a variety of crafts (painting, wood burning, glass etching, string art, knitting, wreath making, etc) and instructors walk around and guide you through your project. If you come in a group, each person does not have to do the same craft, allowing the opportunity to explore different interests. Our group did a combo of glass etching, wood burning, and string art. Craft pricing ranges from $20-40. The food and drink menu is reasonable, offering cheese/charcuterie plates, paninis, bruschetta, pastries, wine, beer, ciders, and non-alcoholic beverages. I enjoyed the Monet - a panini with strawberries, Nutella, and Brie; it was warm and melty with a mix of sweet and salty. I am definitely not an artist but enjoyed our afternoon at Pikasso Swig and am happy for this addition to 5th Street Station!
