We are so lucky to have encountered him! He was friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and went above and beyond to advise and provide us with the highest quality materials for framing our very special piece of art. If you ever need anything framed, I highly recommend Brian at Art & Soul in Sebastopol. 5 stars, plus!!!!!!

The shop is pretty big sized, and has a good variety of stuff. I also enjoyed the selection of toys they had.

Were you devastated like my daughter and I, when the pottery studio in Santa Rosa closed? Well, no…read moreneed to be sad anymore!!! 'Create it!' is the new place to go! The prices are a little higher than I remember from the pottery studio but the pieces are cooler, and the owner is amazing. She gave us just enough advice to take our piece from homemade trinket to amazing one of a kind piece of art. There are sample pieces all over the studio giving you great ideas when your mind isn't into creating (but your kid is.) Wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

The place was absolutely PACKED on this Sunday in August! Every table was full of artists ranging…read morefrom kids to seniors. I LOVED IT!! On this day alone, I witnessed a birthday party, a sweet date, friend groups, families, and solo painters. The choice of products ranged as well, giving many items to choose between and even included holiday options. I'm NOT an artist so honestly, felt a bit anxious making those first colorful paint strokes on my coffee mug. I mostly settled into the experience knowing there was no turning back now! An hour and half later, I handed over my creation and a couple weeks later, VOILA. A reminder of this fun afternoon! (the less glowy stuff) I never got a call about my item. I only knew it was ready because others in my group were posting pics of their final products. When I did call, they couldn't find my slip so it became a hunt based on my description. I don't know what would've happened if I didn't have pics from the day I was there. Also, not sure *I* think it was worth $44 for a coffee mug BUT the group experience + final product makes me glad to have been introduced to Create It. I would both recommend and return.

There is a front room with paints and canvases and all sorts of goodies. There is also a back room with drawing supplies and they plan to expand upstairs. Right now there are limited hours while they get up and running, but plan to extend hours closer to the holidays. They have all sorts of exciting ideas about expanding & art classes. The pricing seems better than before. I'm just so glad Napa still has an art supply store.

The store is clean, well-organized, and prices are a bit more than you'd pay at a large big box art store in the city, but here you are supporting a local business. They also offer art classes for adults and youth that are listed outside the store, and on their website. They have fun extras like games, craft and embroidery kits, and cute character items like Pusheen and Miffy. A fun visit for creative locals.

I am an elderly woman (age 83) prone to fall and break bones so good sneakers are a must because I…read morestill travel, want to go to museums and look around as I visit places. I recently bought very comfortable black sneakers which unfortunately had huge white soles that looked weird at my age. I hoped to be able to hide that white rubber with black paint. My son got me a 2.25 oz bottle of Black (n° 588) Light Body Opaque Acrylic NEOPAQUE by Jacquard. The product was very easy to apply and dried absolutely flat as I hoped. I used a hair dryer to apply some heat and waited 24 hours before wearing my new sneakers. I can report that this paint is of amazing quality because there has been no flaking or peeling whatsoever in over a month. I brought the container to Europe so I could retouch the soles of my sneakers in case the black paint wore off but it has not been necessary. I cannot tell you what a pleasure it is to find that such a fine product is still made in the USA... Please don't sell your company.
