Wow! I was so happy to walk into this little shop; there is a huge selection of yarn here. What…read morereally makes this special is that it's not the wall of acrylic that you would normally see when you go to buy yarn. This is all wool, beautiful colors and textures of wool yarn. Which, you might be surprised, is now softer and less scratchy than most acrylic yarns. Though some of these yarns are naturally at a somewhat higher price point than low-cost yarn at a big-box store, I was pleased to see that there really are budget-friendly items here. That it might be better to do a smaller project with high-quality yarn rather than buy a large quantity of cheap stuff. The owner was very friendly and helpful. It was so nice talking with her. She didn't make me feel like I was expected to make a purchase. Narrator: the reviewer did in fact make a purchase. So - we will see how this "magic loop" knitting works. Wish me luck! I know that if I have trouble I can go back for advice...don't try that at a big-box store!

We were in the area so decided to take a joint visit. Very cool of building with a huge variety of art on display and for sale. My favorite areas were the glass blowing and sheet metal/foundry areas.

Free admission and well worth a visit if you have any interest at all in art.

I love my new glass and metal frames! It's just so rare that you find products that are truly…read morehandmade anymore. I can tell that Valerie put a whole lot of love and care into the making of my new favorite frames. I will be putting my frames on a table with quite a few others and feel certain they will steal the show. These frames are as close to perfect as you can get. The welds are spot on and the real glass is built into the frame which is fabulous. You just slide the photo, mat and easel back up through the back of the frame behind the glass. As mentioned, the glass is real glass which I love; It just feels better than acrylic. The easel back itself is also of great quality. I love my new frames and am so glad to have found the Painted Light Stained Glass website through their Etsy shop. I have to add that I neglected to take a photo of the packaging but can say it was quite professional. I even got a free sticker:). All around excellent service and great quality frames at a fair price. Thanks Valerie!

The only downside was that I didn't have time to sit at a wheel myself and spin a creation of my own - I'll be back!

I especially appreciated the small class size--fewer than 10 people--so everyone got individual attention. Highly recommend!

We are so lucky to have the Joslyn museum right here in Omaha. I've been to art museums all around…read morethe world, and this one stacks right up against them in terms of quality. I've been visiting the Joslyn since I was a child, and visiting as an adult brings back all those wonderful memories. The cool blue and green Storz Fountain art deco tile atrium, the amazing sculpture garden outside, and the temporary and permanent exhibits that are so thoughtfully curated. The Joslyn houses works from classic and modern artists like Monet, Basquiat, Jackson Pollock, Titian, Dale Chihuly, Bouguereau, Picasso, Renoir, Mary Cassatt, and Roy Liechtenstein, among so many more. They also feature several local artists and workshops that I think is so cool that they contribute to the local community in that way too. The Joslyn was closed for two years recently for expansion and restoration, as well as adding many more pieces of art to the collection. There are little signs on each new piece of art that says "New to the Collection" so you'll know you haven't seen that one before if you visited a lot before they closed and reopened. And what's really awesome aside from all that? It's free! I've only ever seen a museum of this caliber having free entrance in large European cities like London and Paris. You obviously are able to make a donation with your entrance, which I'm sure is encouraged to keep the museum running, but I love that it's offered freely for those who can't pay an entry fee but will benefit just like anyone else from the art housed there. I've seen comments here on Yelp saying that you can do this whole museum in 30 minutes. If you're doing that, you are absolutely doing it wrong and rushing through everything. My last visit was 3.5 hours long and I only saw two or three exhibit rooms. What's so great about this being a free museum is that you DON'T have to rush, because you can always come back later and see anything you didn't get to, in the first or second visit. With all the free things there are to do in Omaha, this has got to be at the top of the list, especially if you're an art lover!

He said there are several across the US, but only one in Omaha. You can come here to buy art or create art. You can come as a group and make it a fun event for everyone.

They serve alcoholic beverages , sprite, coke, coffee and I'm sure I'm missing something else. The front of the store is a little boutique type set up with so many beautiful art pieces, clothes, accessories, candles, etc. and the back of the store is where the art is happening. They do resin, fluid art (paint pour), tumblers, patches on hats and tshirts, and everything was in a range of prices. Please consider this for your next date adventure or hangout with friends. We had a really good time.
