“I did an illusion knitting project of 'The Beatles' and took it to Deck the Walls for advice. Chasson was wonderful. Before starting the knitted border, I needed his advice on its proper sizing with mitered corners as he'd be the one to work with it, bringing it in once a week or so later to make sure I was on the right track. 2 months later (don't judge me) returned ready to have it framed. I am very pleased with the results. And it is Mother Approved. ;-)”
“On the recommendation of some wonderfully quirky locals that are dear friends of mine, we finally got the chance to stop in. It was just as wonderfully strange as advertised. From witchy items to preserved animal specimens, as well as all the delightful pins, books, patches, and stickers that make up any good oddities shop, this place has it all! This, along with basically every other shop on the street, is very connected with local artisins and dealers, which I love. I personally picked up some pins for my bag, and would recommend this place to quite literally anyone who's alternative and/or interested in all things eccentric and whacky! (I will be back to view the shop cats, which I somehow managed to miss!)”
“Had a great time glass working with Mark! It was a fun activity to do with my daughter and very interactive. He made the whole process engaging and hands-on, which kept both of us interested the entire time. Highly recommend!”

“I took a try it class at Payne Street in October, followed by the five week session class in November. I really loved the experience. Shelley was my instructor for the try-it class and Tonya and Sarah were the instructors for the session class. They were friendly, helpful, and really made sure that we knew what we were doing. I never sensed even a second of impatience from them. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and welcoming. I’m honestly sad the classes are over but I plan on taking more because I loved it so much. I highly recommend PSP to anyone looking to try out ceramics.”

“They did such a great job on some of our favorite canvas pieces around the house. The entire process was extremely clear, efficient, and I trusted them to take good care of our art work. When choosing a frame, I didn’t know what to choose and there were so many options. They were incredibly knowledgeable about what would look best and I trusted them entirely. The final result did not disappoint. Less than 7 day turn around! Returning for future framing needs. Highly recommend.”
“I had no idea this gallery existed unitl I read about a local artist who has collected debris (drift wood, doll heads, Styrofoam, bic lighters glass, wire, etc.) from the Ohio River, a lot of it from the Falls of the Ohio to use in his art pieces that are currently on display at the gallery. It was fascinating. A decent size gallery with multiple rooms and an additional artist or two's work was on display. The hours of the gallery are only from noon till 4 Thurs/Fri/Sat. but well worth the trip. There were some lovely pieces of art in the front of the gallery, which is located on the 2nd floor of a building next to 21 C and across from the KMAC museum. The artist we went to see pieces were in the back of the gallery. It was amazing to see the snowman collection and the animial collection of pieces made primarily from Styrofoam that he found. It was super creative. There were also some creepy doll heads that he found all lined up on shelves in one room. It was cool and creepy at the same time. I will post pictures of the creatations we viewed. Well worth a trip downtown and a couple of bucks in a parking meter to check it out.”
“Cool place to go to if you're into local art without pretention. It's a nice exhibition space with various pieces for sale. The collection is varied, so there's probably something here for everyone. And there's nothing over $6,000.
There's also a very small gift shop.”
“Kelly is amazing. I have some of the worst, most difficult hair ever and she worked her magic on me. She showed me how to work with my hair and explained her styling techniques and I was actually able to replicate them at home. I now have hair confidence!”

“Amazing artist exhibit, and best underground railroad with actual documents and artifacts. It is very well represented, video is very informative, I did not lose interest throughout. The 2 workers that were present yesterday are very helpful, kind, and passionate about what they do.”
“In 2019 or 2020, I received a tattoo on my right inner wrist of my husband's first name 'Malcolm' inside of the Egyptian symbol for eternity/forever (♾). It costed $80, and I think the tattoo artist was the owner. The following is a picture of the tatt moments after it was completed:”

“Absolute GEMS! This boutique went above and beyond with customer service. They held a piece of art for me to come in and get, and when I dropped my baby’s shoe while checking out they emailed me to let me know they had it. Went back to get it and one of the employees (I forget your name but I love you!) brought it out to the car for me because my kids were asleep. You all have my business for life! And obviously they have incredible local art.”
“An interesting free self guided tour to watch artisans in glass making ornaments and paperweights. A roving attendant is available to ask questions. Learning the basics to melting the raw glass, loading a rod, shaping, coloring and the use of alternating heating, rolling, cooling, etc was enjoyable. An excellent gift shop with a broad range of low to high end pieces is the centerpiece. There is also a commercial hands on area available as well as a paid tour to participate with glass workers.”

“I cannot say enough great things about this studio. It is clean, warm and welcoming. I just got my first tattoo from Cori and it was the best possible experience I could’ve had. She designed my infinity tattoo just the way I wanted and made me feel so comfortable during the entire process. I LOVE my tattoo!”

“My father went into the store and the owner was super kind and helpful. A really cool place, and when I need to get someone a gift next or decorate, I’m going there!”
“Nice combination of art gallery and antique shop. Some beautiful art and really cool antique items of all variety. The owner is super nice and friendly. Thank you for allowing the New Year's Eve Wicked Walk participants to stop by during the tour!”
“The museum is a must see, especially if there are firefighters in the family. So many interesting pieces and the staff are so knowledgeable and share their passion for the museum.”
