Lovely time to be had by all!…read more Lena was my instructor for my first ever attempt at tie dying anything. It was a hoot and a half. Lena herself is extremely talented, friendly and professional. I brought my own t-shirt and as the instructions posted on the website state: Wash Only DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENER. For a first time intro I ended up with an epic shirt. Hahaha! So very pleased with myself. Well this broke the ice and I am going to do it again and again. Wash. Tie-Dye. Repeat.

This place is amazing! Texture Gallery and Art Bar is such a…read morecool place to stop by and look around or to take an art workshop. They are located in an old house (I believe) that has been transformed into an art gallery/ framing studio/ Art bar/ Studio space. The upstairs level is the art gallery. It is absolutely gorgeous with each room with different colored painted walls to make the art on display really pop. They have dragon head sculptures, calligraphy art, burlesque photography, unique jewelry and so much more. My favorite part of this gallery is actually one of the walls-one of the owners has been (over time) gold leafing one of the walls and it is absolutely stunning. I am dreaming of doing this in my future home one day myself now. The bottom level of the space is where the magic happens. There is an "art bar" which is full of all the art supplies that you could imagine. You can take art workshops here with a group of friends, do an art project by yourself, or do a boxed art project with all of the instructions and materials provided. I recently did a group Mixed Media art workshop. A group of six of us did a three hour workshop led by Patrice. She is a great teacher, the class was super affordable, and it was super fun! For $35-$60 (depending on canvas size), we each created our own unique textured, colorful artwork. We were instructed on how to use the different materials (paint, stamps, modeling paste, mod podge, h20 colors, pitt pens, oil pastels, napkins, tissue paper, etc) and given inspiration. Within the three hour time period, each of us was able to start and complete a piece of art. I truly love this place and recommend it for anyone who loves looking at art (walk through the gallery), anyone who is intimidated by the idea of making art (take a no-pressure workshop with Patrice), or active artists (always good to try new things). Bring your friends, your family, your coworkers. Super fun!

I nearly literally stumbled upon Elizabeth's studio in Riverview Station. I saw the work of the…read moreartist next door at Woolworth's Walk earlier in the week, and was peeking into the studio to see what was in her studio. Another artist who I'd purchased a piece from passed me in the hallway and mentioned Elizabeth's work, which is beautiful; like a fairy tale. I returned the following day and Elizabeth's studio happened to be open so I stopped in. Wow. I'm gobsmacked by Elizabeth's talent and how evocative her work is. The one piece I was able to see most clearly the day before was incredibly large and took up most of the wall facing the glass door, so I was so pleased to be able to go inside and see more. She has cards, prints of various sizes (most or all of them mounted to mat board), and when I was there framed and unframed pieces. She was working on something when I stopped in and it was neat to see her at work. She is warm and welcoming, and told me a bit about the work she's doing and the colors and elements that have been coming up in her work of late. I found two pieces in particular that I wanted (well... I wanted more, but one was a commission and one was more than I could comfortably afford at the moment), both quite different, but beautifully framed. The frame itself is a work of art, to be quite honest, and sets off the paintings beautifully. In the end, I wasn't able to decide between the two and took both of them. I spent more than I had intended to be sure, but I don't regret it one bit. Adding to my excitement is that these are the first pieces of original artwork I've ever owned! I can't wait to get them up in my home. I really appreciate Elizabeth being so generous with her time and giving me some insight into her background and process. It makes it more personal to me, and I'm so pleased to be able to enjoy her beautiful work. I'd love to commission a piece from her one day to complement the magic of these pieces. If you visit her you won't be disappointed, but you may leave with your wallet a bit lighter.

The instant you walk through the door, it is obvious that this place was built on love and intention. The space is filled with art from floor to ceiling but doesn't feel cluttered. It kinda feels like a big, warm art hug when you walk through the doors. A lot of the art has a kind of "hippie/spiritual" vibe to it. The art filling the studio is colorful and expressive. They showcase multiple artists' work and have a few studios that you can walk through as well as the main gallery hall. When the weather starts warming up, they will be planing a garden and sculpture area outside as well. This outside area will be quite large, the same size as their indoor space. This is an amazing gallery and I already can't wait to go back!
