I am so thrilled to see a crafting social space in south austin. The owner is so sweet and…read morefriendly- and so so so helpful. I've been here twice now, one for a free "make a protest sign" event and another time for a crafting event by Mutual Misfits. They have so many supplies here, things you probably don't even think about. The class was so fun- I came alone but still enjoyed the company of the crafting strangers. You can bring food in from the food trucks or order drinks right from inside trinkets and they will go and grab them for you. The pricing here is SO affordable, I would say expect to pay $35 on average for an activity.

This review is for the ceramics course offered at Dougherty!…read more First off, I loved my instructor H.R, she was super knowledgable and eager to help everyone. She honestly made the experience great, and I would give her 5 stars any day. We were allotted a few open studio hours during the course to come in and work independently. These were pretty strictly monitored, and the weekend time slots tended to fill up quickly (understandably) For the price that I paid, I was pretty pleased with taking classes here however I would add some caveats: 1. There are a lot of restrictions here (glazes are pretty limited, you cannot make pieces larger than 8 in, can't bring in most outside glazes that are runny) 2. There were a lot of different skill levels in my class. A majority of the students seemed to be repeating students from the previous cycle, and had a lot of wheel experience. There were only 1-2 people in my class who were beginners. If I hadn't already had some exposure to the wheel, I think I would've been completely lost as most of the class time was spent on demos that the class requested instead of set lessons. If the cost wasn't almost half of what other studios in town were charging, I would probably go to another studio because of the above reasons, but honestly the deal is too good to complain. If you're able to get off the waitlist and get a class here, I'd recommend trying it out if you have some experience already! Otherwise I would try to take a more beginner friendly class elsewhere first

We came here to see a local theater company put on a musical comedy about the Servant Girl killer…read morefrom Austin in the 1880's. It was quite fun and pretty clever. Murders and Moontowers is the name. The center is clean and well lit. Welcoming is the term I think of, inside at least. It's a bit hard to see if you are not paying attention and parking is not great. Not the worst but crowded. Inside had interesting local art, I have some pictures, and a few benches. The theater room is decent sized and you can see and hear pretty well. We were in row 3 or 4 to the right if on stage. The troupe was good and there were some clever songs. It is about an hour and while the murders do factor in its mostly about the growing city and political dealing. I know it's an art center first but two quick things. The chairs are awful. They took me out of the play several times as I could not get in a position that didn't cause pain. Two: I can go without a snack or food but I need liquids. Water, soda, something. If you don't want to sell it allow us to bring lidded bottles or Yetis. Yeti like cups wouldn't leave trash and would allow for less issues. But that said I really otherwise enjoyed this. Shana, the woman who married me, agrees place is very cool. The cast signed a book we had on the killings which was cool. The songs were mostly fun and entertaining. The cast did a good job and told a fun story in just an hour. There were a few things that felt a little out of place but overall it was a good time.

It's the kind of place where you can slowly wander around and keep noticing new details in each piece. I never made it to their original location, but this new space is big and spacious, which makes it easy to take everything in. It feels open, welcoming, and thoughtfully laid out. After seeing everything, I'm definitely interested in coming back to try one of their workshops at some point. It seems like such a cool, hands-on experience.

I am looking for a halloween costume wanted to browse what they have, but also want to find a separate 1800s dress that I could possibly get made or ordered (this one would have been the need for an appointment because I want to but it not rent it). It then says on the site due to covid "If at all possible, please make sure to call us for an appointment before coming in" I asked about an appointment for the 1800 dress. They replied "we do not have time for individual costumes at this time!! I asked back do I have to have an appointment or can we like a regular shop just come browse and look around, pick a costume on out own. No reply for a month. Finally I decided to just stop by. The door says they are open, the door is locked and a sign says appointment only!! I feel like I stopped by years ago around 2018-19 hoping to find a costume and it said the same on the door. But they will not put that on their website, or reply to an email asking. Because their website is very unclear. Because "If at all possible, please make sure to call us for an appointment before coming in" suggest you can also just come in to browse. Extremely sad. I do hope another shop opens up around here with real costumes! Since Lucy in disguise closed, there is nothing within many hours that I know of with options.

At the Blue Genie Annual Art Bazaar (December 6th-24th), you can get in for free, get gifts for your family and friends that you can't find elsewhere, and enjoy an open bar and quality catered food. Just go there, and I promise you won't be sorry. p.s. If you find it a bit tough to find them, they're behind the Goodwill and right next to the Blue Theater.
