There is difference between art gallery and arts and crafts shows for me. You can see wonderful…read morecreative work at both. What is the difference, you might ask. I love wandering into art galleries where the work is well lighted and well displayed. This gallery certainly fulfilled that difference. There was a nice diversity of work, it was well displayed and the people working here were charming. Although I like to look, I seldom want to buy anything. I was really temped by two pieces in this gallery. A pretty watercolor and a wonderful piece of potter for an Ikebana arrangement really appealed to me. They were really not too expensive for one of a kind pieces of art. Common sense prevailed, I have no room for anything new, and I left. I do have about 5 weeks before they put of the next show in case I change my mind. The other difference, at art or craft show you can talk to the artist. I like to support artist so I go to both galleries and shows and every now and then I see something I just have to bring home.

I bought a blind bag at Fan Fest last month at Oracle Park and there was a chance to win either a…read moresigned replica jersey or authentic jersey. With luck on my side, I was able to score a signed Alex Wood authentic jersey. My friend insisted I get it framed, so I looked around my local area and came across this location. Reading the reviews on here as well as other places, I had to give it a try. When I brought the jersey I , Austin assisted me right away. He asked me what and how I wanted things to be framed and informed me of the different colors that would match the jersey. At first, the price was higher than I budgeted, but he was able to shorten the dimensions of the frame by readjusting my jersey a bit more to a price I was comfortable with. He also asked if I wanted a name plate to help display the name of the jersey and I agreed with how reasonable that price was as well. Austin was very transparent with the entire process, from how long it takes and what he planned on doing, to the cost of each step of the way. He assisted me in keeping things at a fair budget and I appreciate his customer service and friendliness. I picked up my jersey the other day and I am amazed at how it turned out. The nameplate looked awesome and the jersey is on full display with the signature as well. The worker who finished my transaction was also helpful and showed me the proper way to hang it. All in all, I highly recommend this place to get your stuff framed. You pay for high quality material and service and I know I will be back again for any future projects I could have to be framed.

Thanks to the Martinez Historical Society -- plus volunteers -- they saved the building from being demolished! The museum is staffed by volunteers who grew up in Martinez, saw it change and grow throughout the decades, and can give you an "old-timer's" first-person account of where and how things used to be : ) For example, did you know that Martinez was THE place to go for shopping and people watching? Or that numerous historic buildings and historic building elements were torn down in the name of modernity? Check out the old photos and memorabilia forever immortalizing past Martinez residents and enjoy local found items from the Ohlone and Bay Miwok. You can tour the small museum with the volunteers as your guide, or simply walk through on your own. But you'd be missing out on the best part of the visit : ) *Note: Make sure you sign in, in the guest book, pick up a few brochures for local historic sites, and contribute a donation in an envelope.

I appreciate this place being more of a class setting than those one-time activities for date night or to hang with friends, because ceramics takes awhile to get a good handle on.

At the end of the course, I'm sure you will have a better understanding of pottery.
