I left with one mini print (the cashiers will trade you for quarters, super helpful) and some perfume! If you're looking to do some fun shopping in Portland this store is definitely worth a stop.

I bought two pieces - one a mug from Mary K Spencer's garden series. I have a lot of pottery from all over the US and I've never seen a design like this. I also loved the whimsy of Becky Wright's soap sponge holder. The colors are so much fun. But those were just two of the lovely pieces in this shop. They also are reasonable. There are a lot of touristy shops here. It's nice to find work from Maine artists.

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.

That's The Mix. A totally non-judgemental arts and crafts store that appreciates you trying to make art and do crafts in a world increasingly not built for beauty, but for zeros and ones. I found everything I was looking for and so much more here: really sparkly embroidery thread that I never knew existed, gold pens that write oh-so-smooth, and locally made glittery watercolor paint (no gatekeeping here, it's Antimadder Art if you want to look it up). Genuinely, my partner had been craving colors exactly like these! Loving their new space; it's a big, old building with loads of windows to flood every nook and cranny with natural light! Be sure to sign up for loyalty points! There are workshops and product demos now! And in the summer they have live music on their porch! Go. Get your supplies. Say hi to Leslie; she's the art teacher you're missing in your boring adult life. #heartemoji
