Felt like a good day to go make some art. I have been wanting to get over to Art Ala Carte even since they opened the Vancouver branch. Finally had a free day when nothing else was going on. We had a voucher and used that so it only costed us $6 to go in and make art. I also brought them a big stack of cut cardboard. The lady working commented that it was already all cut to the right sizes, but it must not have been enough to get the discount that bringing supplies gets you.
My very first impression was not good. Felt very chaotic and we were lost in the crowd. It is a bigger space than when Audrie and I went to Portland. But when we went to Portland over a year ago we were given a brief tour. Not today. So we dug in and found things to do. They enjoyed themselves. I did notice that Connor found a corner for awhile and played very quietly with some playdoh. Not sure if he was overwhelmed or just wanted to play with the playdoh.
After playdoh and painting they got to gluing. Not sure what if anything they were making. I was impressed with Connor's gluing skills. He must glue at day care because he did great.
I had contemplated a membership, but I'm not sure now. Maybe we will just do art at home. We will probably give them another try on another day and hope it is not so busy. I did notice that other people got much more help once Aria, the owner, got there.
