Frequently asked questions
Do I have to book ahead?
Yes, and it only takes a minute — pick your class, pick a time, and you're in. Booking ahead is how we make sure your supplies are set up and waiting.
Can I come by myself, or do I need a group?
Either! Come solo, bring a friend or two, or book a time just for your group. If you want the whole room to yourselves, head over to Parties.
What if I'm the only one signed up?
Then you get Mimsy all to yourself. Every booked class runs.
How much notice do the resin classes need?
Resin has to be prepped ahead of time, so Resin Jewelry and Resin Letter Lamps need a little more notice than the rest — you'll see the earliest available times when you pick one.
Can I buy artwork directly from the store?
Yes! We're a consignment gallery — our walls and shelves are full of original work from 25+ local artists, and it's all for sale. There's something for every wall and every budget.
What types of art classes do you offer?
A whole bunch — acrylic paint pouring, resin jewelry making, drawing, hat making, terrarium labs and more. Can't find one that fits? Call or text and we'll set up a private session.
Are private lessons & parties available?
Absolutely. One-on-one instruction, private parties and custom events — just reach out and we'll build it around you.
How does consigning your art work?
We rent booth, wall and shelf space at affordable rates so local makers can display and sell. Want in? Come say hi.
