It's minus 30C outside, but it is nice and warm in the Lumel Studio! My wife and I booked their "Hot Date" and had a fun time with glass-blower Mark making two stemless wine glasses. Everyone that works in the studio, especially Luanne the founder, as hugely enthusiastic about sharing their artistic skills with newby glass-blowers. What a fun hour or so with two handmade souvenirs to take home (once they cool down!)

This is a true community place, which is also very welcoming to visitors. I have been at some local galleries in other cities where I felt I needed to be a local to really get what was going on. Arts Underground has low-key but classy exhibit openings every few months, shows from amazing local artists, rotating photos from an impressive collection of Yukon historical photo collections, plus a great selection of art supplies. If you want a place to shop for anything from some unique earrings to a beautiful piece of pottery or a fantastic painting, visit the Arts Underground! For locals it is also a fantastic place to take classes in a variety of artistic media- pottery, drawing, painting and mixed media. Love this place!
