There is lots to choose from with all sort of different color so let your imagination wonder! We fun. We took my niece here for her bday. Good amount of tables, and they have a back room for parties too. Prices are decent for small to large crafts, and they have examples of it all. Examples are mugs / dishes, gnomes, animal dishes, all different animals, jewelry boxes, and so on. After you are finished, you turn in your project and that is where they put it in their fancy machine - takes about a week and comes out so different but super pretty! Very fun.

Their soaps are wonderful and smell lovely of high quality essential oils, but I am not reviewing…read moretheir soaps, I am reviewing the CP soap making class I went to recently at Rose City Soap and Supply. First of all, the website looks pretty professional so I was expecting to be going to a soap supply store, however this was held at her house in a workshop/garage (albeit a very large one, but still). I was afraid to get out of my car because I wasn't sure I was at the right place. Once I met her I was less scared as she is very nice, but it was hardly the professional business that I was expecting to find. Secondly, I was expecting to learn a lot at this class, or at least make my own first soap. Instead, she had everything already prepared and seemed like it was a bother to show us how to measure the oils and lye out to prepare the soap. While she mentioned safety and what we "should do", she did not use proper safety precautions (even though she had the masks and gloves right on the table). I did not learn anything new at this class, nor did I get any first hand experience making soap because she did it for us. The soap that I came home with (that I only got to add scent to) is lovely, and the only reason why I don't feel completely ripped off. She seemed really unprepared, and anyone who has done any research on how to make CP soap will know more than she will "teach" you. In fact, I did some research on recipes to try, and I found the instructions that she handed out was WORD FOR WORD with the same picture as a recipe on a popular website. If she has been making soaps for 14 years, you would think that she could come up with her own recipe and instructions. This is completely unprofessional, and for this reason I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TAKE HER CLASSES. Save your money and learn on your own from many helpful forums, websites, and you tube.

Shop Strange was just brilliant to work with from start to finish. I reached out to a handful of…read moreother companies and was getting nowhere with responses for some reason, but Keith with Shop Strange responded immediately and was so easy to work with. From the initial inquiry, to choosing apparel, and to designing & settling on placements, it was seamless. Their team even came to personally meet us and pick up our jackets we wanted embroidery on. Super nice, and they got everything done and shipped within the time estimated. The apparel we received is great quality for our construction crew, and the design is exactly what I was going for. Happy to have found & went with Shop Strange so I know where to go anytime in the future!

It's a small table with a chair and a typewriter that anyone can use to type on. There is street parking, and a bus stop a block away. Oblation is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys stationary.

Truly a life saver!!!…read more These guys, and ladies were great!!! I brought in my own shirts to be used and they were able to print me printed heat transfer vinyls and apply them. The print quality was great it took only a few hrs and their costumer service was genuine. I called ahead asking their capabilities, the young lady on the phone was polite and knowledgeable and asked me to e-mail my files ahead of time. When i got there she had all of my files ready to be viewed and all we had to do was pick out a font for some lettering(she made the easy as well). For my needs they were well within my last minute budget and even willing to work with me on prices. I would gladly give them my business in the future and would happily recommend them to any of my friends and family.
