There's no question--this non-profit is worth supporting! Their mission alone--keeping over 16,000 pounds of new and gently used art supplies and equipment out of landfills--deserves our support. But there's so much more to love... They offer affordable studio spaces, a beautiful gallery, a fully equipped wood shop, and a variety of art and craft classes. Whether you're looking for fabrics, sewing notions, sewing machines, frames, prints, woodworking tools, leather-working supplies, or scrapbooking materials, the friendly staff is ready to help you find exactly what you need. You'll also find a wide selection of jewelry-making supplies, beads, yarn, paint, sketchbooks, colored pencils, and much more. With the holiday season approaching, the options for card-making, gift-making, and DIY projects are endless. Don't forget to shop for gifts and gift cards at ReCreative--you'll be supporting a great cause while finding unique, thoughtful presents! read more

A crafter's playground. A great selection of many kinds of arts and craft supplies at amazing prices. The owner was very personable and helpful. You've got to check this place out and if you live in Denver consider donating your supplies begging to to be used. Two marked parking spaces behind their building. read more

One of my favorite stores in Denver! The selection really varies based on when you're there, but I frequently find great items. This is my go-to for fancy yarn at a discount. read more

My favorite place to visit when I go to Denver! Great prices. Lots of fun finds for mixed media . Everyone is always so helpful and kind.

I like this place, a lot. I've been several times and want to continue to support. It's just that recently I encountered a rude staff member. I didn't get their name but they were running the front register (male presenting with long dark hair). I was so nice to this person but got nothing but indifferent rudeness in return. Any and all pleasantries offered were ignored. This person seemed bothered when spoken to and acted like it was a chore to be there. When I was checking out, I was removing the stuff from my basket and setting it on the counter and all this person could do while staring at me coldly was say, "just give it to me" because apparently I wasn't fast enough despite there being no line. I not only experienced this person's coldness myself, but watched it brought upon other customers (including my friend who I brought in to shop with me) as well as an art instructor who was teaching a class and dare asked for a supply. I don't know what this person's deal was and I try to be sympathetic but there's no reason not to be nice or even decent back to people being nice and decent to you. If this is just this person's personality then maybe they should not be working with customers. It really makes me not want to go back because I do not want to encounter them (and I love this store). In fact, just a few days prior I was there and there was a different person up front (male presenting and tall) who was VERY friendly and nice and who didn't make you feel like you were an irritation by being in the store. read more

This is a warning for any brujas and witches who may walk through the doors. There is a "workshop" in the back that the store does NOT advertise. It is a mishmash of religious/spiritual iconography and altars with candles of various types. It is not spiritually clean, but incredibly toxic. The mixture of energies and unclear intention of this room is suffocating. I had to leave the store and wait for my party outside after encountering this. I am begging the store to please advertise this. Those of us who Know this kind of work need to be aware what they are walking into, lest we carry something out of that room that doesn't belong with us. read more

Great find! This nonprofit has an abundance of craft / hobby items for resale. We popped in last week and I couldn't believe the variety and affordability of the products offered. I found everything I was looking for and plenty more for other projects I became inspired to do in store. Highly recommend if you enjoy any craft activities. read more

This place is a must visit for artists and crafters. Every member of our family found treasures for different projects, including some beautiful glass,amazing fabric, and so much more! The staff is so friendly and helpful and their is an amazing fine vintage clothing store upstairs. read more

I had high hopes for this place as a way to find some used art supplies. I didn't really find anything I could use on the one visit I had, but I'm sure the supply rotates, so I'll try again! read more

We attended a party here after dining locally. I really like the fact that they are reusing materials to create art. This is a really cool place. It would be a great place for new artists to pick up inexpensive art gear. The upstairs area has a working area for children to make their own art. Located along Santa Fe Avenue, it is nestled in amongst a number of other galleries, small shops and eateries. Well worth stopping in. read more

All time favorite craft store!!!!! Basically a goodwill for craft supplies with awesome prices, and there's an amazing vintage store upstairs! read more

Amazing store! I ended up getting two bags full of yarn (half of it never used) for $16. There's essentially every type of art supply that you need here as well. It's just a fun place to spend some time read more

It's very messy and I'm organized and there are a lot of used pens and markers that are being sold.

This is one of my favorite places to explore in Denver! I try to come here around once a month or so because there's always something new and the prices are great! Why aren't there more secondhand art stores?! It's such an amazing concept! Plus, I know we artists don't always use all of our supplies. Maybe other people just find their tools hard to part with like me.. Whatever it may be, I'm just grateful for this store. The selection is constantly changing, the prices are great, and the staff is friendly! 10/10 here I am to recommend. read more

This store is amazing ! Great customer services and so many things to look at ! Perfect for any crafters - painters and more ! The staff was very helpful read more

This place is an artists dream come true. They have sooo much cool stuff you'll end up looking around in here for hours and ANYTHING you find is beyond affordable. If you love creating art but don't love spending a fortune at Michaels or Joann's, this is your spot. read more

Terrific store and a great concept--creating art, teaching skills, and reducing waste all at the same time. The owner has a true passion for the work. They also have beer and wine nights that are a lot of fun. read more
