Stephanie teaches classes and will give you help and tips if you come in and ask questions. The selection is great but I do miss some of the curated small quantity customs beads. I know crystals sell, so I don't mind, but I used to get the MOST unique beads there! The store is clean, well organised and a great place to spend an afternoon. The value is comparable to other bead shops and it's so convenient if you just need a few beads to finish a project. I will say, the crystals are pricey, but they'd be close to the same price at pretty much any bead specific store and if you're just making a pair of earrings or a bracelet you can't go wrong shopping here!

This charming store, tucked into a small space just around the corner from La Boulangerie, is…read morequintessential Fig Garden Village that I knew as a child. Small, locally owned, outstanding service, beautiful merchandise that cannot be found elsewhere (except they do have another store out near River Park). I was on the hunt for a new bag i can use for my storytelling gig with first graders. Lots of pockets. Flexible spaces. Large enough for book and puppets. Room for a water bottle and even scissors. Oh, and it must be attractive since I wear a uniform and need to add a bit of color with the bag and my shoes. The clerk was very congenial and showed me a variety of bags and even when I thought I had found just the right one, went on to find the real right one. A Vera Bradley that met all my requirements. This is the kind of customer service that makes me happy. The store, though small, is quite compact and all the items are beautifully displayed. Luggage, bags of all sizes, travel accoutrements, greeting cards, various stationery supplies. Sort of a jewel box for the senses.

Hello Fresno, you have a superb small business right here under your nose, Top Drawer! I want to…read moreaddress my comments to everyone, but especially guys who don't really like shopping for gifts, maybe aren't really good at it, but who find themselves having to find a special gift for a woman or girl. This place will take care of you!! My story: I needed to get a birthday gift for a grandmother, and realized I was clueless. Yelp led me to Top Drawer late on a Saturday afternoon. Walked up, and the store had just closed. Owner Jane was about to drive away, but saw me and asked if she could help. She opened the store back up for me and asked what I was looking for (Wow, 3 stars for that alone!!!). I told her I really had no idea, just a gift for an 80 year old lady. Jane had some great ideas, and I was done in 10 minutes, now a happy boy! So, yeah, you could wander aimlessly around Target or Wal-Mart, and buy something that everyone already has or has seen but would end up being classed as "well, after all, it's the thought that counts" - in other words: fail. Instead, my advice would be to put yourself in Jane's hands, trust her advice, and walk out with a wrapped gift your recipient will really appreciate as unique and charming. Dudes, I suck at shopping but I feel like I performed at shopping genius level today thanks to Jane's help. Fast, high quality and good value. Easy 5 stars!

The prices are comparable to other speciality art stores and the fact that I'm supporting a local shop is super important to me! Allard's also offers classes and there's usually student art on display to show off what students are learning!

I hosted an event with Scarab Creative Arts last year, which is where I met Hannah, of Rose ceramics. She's teaches pottery classes here and she's also an amazing artist herself. I signed up for the six-week intermediate classes from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. The cost is $275 and includes everything; clay, supplies, and all firings. All you need to bring is an apron and an open mind. The class style here is free from; just get your clay and go. Hannah walks around and checks in on your progress and helps with anything you need. If you've never sat in front of pottery wheel, I highly recommend taking the beginner class for more of teacher/student model set up. There are other classes offered here beyond pottery like painting, stained glass artistry, and even a few classes for kids. They do host events from time to time in their gallery and have a gift shop where you can try to sell your pieces. I'm excited to see what the future has in store for me when it comes to my pottery. I might just end up becoming a member here!
