Always great! Found a nice little felting kit, been wanting to try my hand at felting and jus so happy to find a kit w everything in it :) The people working there are alway so nice and helpful.
I love going here and not knowing what to expect. The back warehouse is awesome; Ive found some items I wouldnt have even thought to look for that have been game changers for me.
I love MECCA! As a homeschooling family they help us out with resources, not only paper and crafting supplies but also fun and educational classes for the kids. The whole staff is so helpful and friendly. I love having a place to bring any surplus crafting supplies. I used to hoard up extra supplies because unless I could give them away because I didnt want good supplies to go in the landfill. Now not only do I have a place to donate but I can source my future supplies by saving good material from landfills as well! Thank you for all your work! Also Im so grateful yall got more parking spots!
I need to go back and get the stuff I paid for I forgot it when I was so excited over bamboo that was like southeast Asian construction materials and the longhouses of malaysian and Indonesian styles
I normally don’t leave bad reviews, but I felt inclined to. I’ve been a customer for 5+ years and I’ve always had amazing experiences, but the past few times I’ve visited Mecca there’s been a specific worker who has made my experience not so amazing. The last time I visited I bought something that the cashier insisted was worth more than it was listed, and kept going on about how much it’s listed for online. I didn’t think anything of it and went on with my day. Today the same thing happened. I was going to purchase a dress pattern that was listed clearly for 2$ and when I went to check out the cashier told me she couldn’t sell it to me because it retails for 17$ and somebody mislabeled it, she told me she could maybe sell me it for 5$, but I declined that offer. If something is labeled 2$, aren’t you supposed to sell it for that price? Even if it was a misunderstanding? I’ve always shopped at Mecca to find art supplies for lower prices, why would I pay 17$ for a pattern that I found for 2$ at a secondhand store... The person working cash register both experiences has short dark hair and moons tattooed on their chest, there’s no name tags so I didn’t see a name.
Love this place. One of my favorite stores to find all my art supplies and materials at a discount and proceeds go to a worthy cause.
Lovely spot for crafters. A little bit of everything and a couple kitchen sinks. Great first stop for craft projects. Teachers get big discounts and free things.
I havent been in for over a year. They have been busy rearranging space. Seemed cleaner but still pretty cramped. Plenty of room for seeing stuff.
Love this place. If crafts are for you and dont like to waste things than this is the place for you. Extremely nice people that work there. Super helpful for homeschooling projects.
Great place too look for crafting items or ideas! Come here first the shop the big stores! Also if you have items to donate contact them. One if my favorite shops in Eugene.
When I discovered this magical craft warehouse, I felt like a kid walking into a candy store. Theres so many different things for all your craft desires and needs! The prices are incredibly fair, sometimes a pay what you can type thing. I cant recommend them more highly! Consider donating what you can to these great folks!
That employees there are like family its a great place to go get the supplies you need for the crafts that you do cant say enough about them its just the best experience you can have Ive never had a bad experience
This place is Disneyland for my wife!! She can find pretty much everything she needs for her jewelry making which she gives out for free. If youre into crafts of all kinds STOP turn around and come here first. Save soo much money and maybe see someone you know or even make new friends.
This place is amazing! You can spend tons of time here digging through all the goodies. Dont forget to check out the back room!
This place is so fun and really comes through when youre on a tight art supply budget. I try and support as much as possible when I am able as they are providing a wonderful service to the community.
Helpful in recycling some plastics that can be repurposed.
Very friendly staff, great prices.
Excellent shop selling all kinds of recycled and repurposed arts and crafts materials.During more normal times they have assorted art classes and workshops.
Mecca is the best place in town for versatile and inexpensive art supplies! Theyre amazing.
In addition to art supplies, this is a great place to pick up office stationary.
Perfect spot for teachers, treasure hunters, makers and recyclers. We visit at least monthly for craft supplies and gifts. MECCA also is a wonderful community and planet partner!
This place is great. Being a teacher, I have to replace things constantly! Mecca offers things free or at a low cost. Stuff you would have a hard time finding elswhere.
Love this place. People are super nice.
This place is amazing! A delightful place to get tons of different art supplies. They also offer special deals for teachers!
Mecca is an amazing place to pick up craft supplies. If you want to donate items make sure to call first. Be careful where you park. There are a few parking places near the building with Mecca on them. Wheel chair accessible. The aisles inside may not Be wide enough for a wheelchair.
I love going to MECCA. You never know what youll find.
Amazing place! I usually find what I need and if not I find it the next time always beyond my expectations with price and customer service. You guys rock!
Always fun to shop there. prices are good. cant always find what youre looking for obviously. but sometimes you can get lucky
A fun trove of secondhand art materials at very reasonable prices. Need 100 soda bottle caps for a project? They have it. Curious to see if you can find professional grade clay for cheap? Its hit or miss, but quite possible Great for local artists, teachers, and hobbyists. Im so glad something like this exists.
Oh my goodness! This place is amazing. Its like a weird candy store for crafters. The staff are super fantastic. My husband and I went there to find some things to make shields and they were undeniably helpful. I highly recommend this place
Ive only been there once but I have to say they have an amazing selection. Plenty of options to get any art project going or to get those last minute touching to finish one off.
First time there! So much stuff for any project you can imagine . Staff is very friendly and helpful! Plus I was able to bring my weenie dog in with me😁
Wonderful staff and great place in general!
Great place for supplies and younnever knownwhat you will find.. we found a photo projector for $40 and teachers home schoolers nonprofits they have a awsome surprise for you. Check them out.
Fantastic place. If you arent sure they have what you need, give them a call. They are always willing to check for you.
Great selection and the staff is amazing
An interesting treasure trove of donated arts & crafts materials of all sorts. Their pricing has no rhyme or reason, so if you see something you like that is wildly overpriced (i.e. you can get it cheaper new at a regular store), take it up to counter and negotiate. I always come away with something wonderful.
Mecca is an amazing place to shop for things that you never knew you needed. From costumes for dress up to all kind of art supplies this place has it...
This is the best place for art supplies. Everyone who works here is super kind and helpful. You can’t beat the prices here, most things are on a sliding scale so it’s usually pay what you can. This place is especially great when you need just a little extra fabric, or ribbon, or a zipper, or if you just want to make something but you don’t know what yet! Come on down to Mecca and get inspired :)
It is a second hand store for arts and crafts and there are always fantastic finds for pennies on the dollar. The most valuable treasure Ive been lucky enough to discover there was Scott, a one of a kind wonder. 💙 him!
I love Mecca! I have come to Mecca so many times for supplies to aid in my vision boards, homeschooling projects, and other crafty recycling ideas. The staff are friendly and helpful. Also, there is a makers space so you can source your supplies and create all in one place. I love to go to Mecca during the holiday season to craft holiday cards for family and friends with my daughter.
Unique and fun. You can find almost anything arts and crafty there. But also vintage magazines, jewellery and more. Teachers get their supplies for free. You can go into the warehouse on certain days and name your own price anything. Love this place
Neat place with neat finds.
Love this place, very nice friendly people. Plan on going back.
For a cheap thrill to do with your teen or tween, this place is fun! We were able to go into the store with a handful of change and we walked out with a bag full of fun things we will later use in art projects. Yarn, beads, paper, wine corks, hot glue gun, marbles, card stock, and broken crayons for hot air art. Always feels like a fun treasure hunt when we come. My daughter and I can spend quite a bit of time, searching and creating!
I love all the things here, piles of unloved bits and pieces waiting for a happy home. Its absolutely delightful! My one issue and reason for not giving 5 stars is there were many areas off-limits to me because there was no space provided for a wheelchair. Navigating the store would be impossible with my electric wheelchair.
Love the place! Always find interesting things.
I love the mission and impact of this nonprofit!
I freaking LOVE this place. If youre an artist (doesnt matter which media) then you must look into this store. And the back warehouse is where the major deals are if you can find a use for what is back there; its super excellent to see these items staying out of the landfill. Staff are always friendly and helpful.
Big things, little things, odds and ends, and complete kits, theyve got Tons of stuff🤪. They do have a maximum number of people 😷 policy so you may have to wait a few minutes🕑 to enter, but its worth it.
This place is amazing for neat craft materials. they get business and private donations so there is often new things and very nice materials for low prices. they give discounts to educators as well
I absolutely love this place!! SO many different craft resources. I come here for beads, pendants, leather sheets, fabric, paint, and other miscellaneous things. The workers are generally so kind and relaxed, too.
This is my happy place! Whether I need a gift for someone, a way to distract my six year old, electrical tape, a soldering iron, or new gel pens, MECCA is the place I look first. The constantly rotating selection of goodies means that, no matter my original need, Ill have a full basket and an eager smile at the end of my trip. No matter what kind of arts you pursue or crafting you enjoy, MECCA will have just the thing to make it perfect. Be sure to save some time to check out the warehouse and dont forget to take your donations, too!
Some good finds on used art materials at a very cheap price. There is also a section where you can choose your own price.
As a teacher I am always looking for crafty ideas for my room and my students. They not only had discounted items for teachers but many free (donations asked) for items. They are a great place full of recycled items.Thank you for what you guys do here for the community and for our landfills.
Wonderful non-profit and great source of art and crafts supplies.
What a magical.jumbleOf you love art supplies, fabric, barrels of fascinating miscellany, the earth, outsider art, upcycling, not wrecking the planet, and having your purchases weighed on the way out, this place is for you. There are real treasures. The back room is also a wonderful collection of junkier junk, old magazines, interesting bottles, etc, that is free for educators, including homeschoolers.
To loud and the sales person wanted to argue with me
Amazing assortment of diverse things. Well displayed.Also got me thinking about things I could donate.
Awesome place...
Its a crafters paradise! Donated items. Everything you can imagine. Teachers can get supplies from the warehouse for free. On certain days anyone can go into the warehouse area and name your price on whatever you want. This place is addicting
Love the friendliness there and the free section is great.. what a wonderful place to spend some time at.
There was many arts and crafts items for a good price but everything seemed very disorganized.
This is one of my favorite those shops locally when Im looking for ideas or supplies for whatever crafting or at project I might be working on. Have even found rolls of lose canvas here in the past!!!
Its a really neat place. Prices are super cheap! Great for crafters and artist of all Mediums!
Lots of random craft supplies, pretty loosely organized. Theres good stuff, like partial bottles of paint that are perfect for small projects. Lots of random things that are often used for crafts, like glass stones, which are great if you like to see something and then get inspired. If you go in looking for something very specific, you may not find it. They have lots of paper craft supplies, but the paper itself is a little expensive at .50/sheet. It has a nice community feel to it And really is a great place to support.
This is such a great little store, you can get cheap sewing and crafting materials and you know everything is reused so that youre able to be green ☺️☺️☺️☺️ I always go in looking for something, and getting about 12 other things as well
Free supplies for teachers! Arts n crafts activity for kids every Saturday! Art contests and rotating displays! Fun loving, knowledgeable staff!Awesome vintage items at dirt cheap prices, and constantly getting new inventory. Prepare to spend hours oooing and aaahing, leaving with bags of treasures you cant find anywhere else.{Make sure to check out the washroom while youre there. Their beloved 💟Kat beautified it beyond belief. It instantly inspires your inner artist.}
I love that you can get just about anything you will ever need for crafts!
Good clean and a wide selection of stuffs
I went to donate, over the phone they said they would take tiles. But upon arrival an hour later they were not interested.Other than that great place to fund recycled art supplies!
Lots of fun supplies. Everything you would need. A little messy. Interesting craft ideas.
Non ADA compliant aisles. Too narrow, with added floor clutter, for a wheelchair, or even a walker user, to shop. You might have some great selection, but i wouldnt know, as i was unable to navigate the space.
Great place to donate or buy materials for artistic use. Your items get used by teachers and artists directly, at a great price to them. I always have a bag for MECCA donations at my house. Any time I decided to let someone else enjoy a product, I know it will go to good use.
GREAT place for artists, community feel to it and friendly staff.
Non-profit doing amazing important work. My first stop for any craft supplies, and a great resource for teachers.
Awesome place for materials. I found great paper and fabric here
This is a great place for people whore creative and looking to work with unconventional supplies. Only rating it a three because it can be very cramped inside during busy times.
Great place, good clerks. Its your fellow shoppers you need to watch out for! Rude, pushy, impatient, get the hell outta my way! I am visually impaired, I have very little side vision left, and am legally blind one eye, it takes me a little longer to look around at items and navigate an unfamiliar location. I really dont like shopping in Eugene, its a very unpleasant city.
Great place for discounted art supplies. Non profit. You never know what you are going to find.
This place is absolutely amazing! Went here and couldnt leave for like an hour I was so enraptured with how many cool things I could buy from them for such cheap prices. If you have stuff you have resigned yourself to never finishing, donate it! Someone, somewhere, will want your buttons, all 7000 of them. (Hint: its me, I want your buttons.)This place I got an unbelievable amount of stuff from and it only cost like 25 bucks. I got a huge art history book with countless pages of inspiration for 6 bucks. It officially cost 80. I got a painters palette that retails for 50, for basically free because it was added in. Are you kidding me!I know I sound like a late night infomercial but this place is abolutely amazing ok? With the help of this place I can finish my sculpture Ive been working on for a week.
A thrifty crafters dream!!!! You can lose hours looking at all the neat items they have to offer. Super cheap!
My favorite place to go digging for art supplies! I dont always find exactly what I need, due to everything being donated, but when I do, I save oodles. $1.50 for a set of 24 high quality pastels? $10 for a full sized paper cutter? $1 each for several containers of glitter? 50 cents per huge bag of crayons?? Its wonderful! There are also all sorts of miscellaneous things such as crushed glass and stained glass fragments, magazines for collaging, photos and slides, even sometimes things like broken musical instruments or the time they had a full vintage dollhouse kit for $40! Definitely check it out, and definitely stop by here before visiting more expensive art shops if youre on a budget or if your project is a little more open ended. Its also a great place to just get ideas!
Many, many partly used art supplies for any type of artist. Broken glass in various colors for stained glass or mosaics, yarn, fabric, buttons, and so much more! Sometimes it difficult to find items as things change, but workers there will help to the best of their ability.
For their freebies stuff they dont have a whole lot of different items but what they do have an overabundance of his things like crayons paper chalk pins. Items that they charge for are very inexpensive and there is quite a few of those however their store is full of finished items it was a great experience the lady that works there at the register is so wonderful and they do need donations very bad
They have everything
Amazing place! Like a thrift store for arts and crafts materials. Something new every time, treasures galore! Not for profit. Great place to donate your left over project materials, too.
My wife LOVES this place because of her crafts and the LOW LOW LOW prices for what she gets😍😇😇
Great place!
This place is pure genius. Great place to get cheap art supplies. For $2.75, my entire day got better. They had everything I needed for my drawings and paintings.
Great redice/reuse/ recycle place. Ive NEVER gone in here without NEEDING something I saw in there. You do yourself, your community, and the world a major favor by patronizing this place. Come see why
This place is amazing for making craft projects and reusing old things for new. You never know what youll find here. Its like Bring for crafts. And not only is it low cost, but teachers get things here for free!
MECCA is incredible! If you need something for a craft or project, definitely check this place out. They have very reasonable prices and an incredible selection if you dont need something wildly specific.
This is just a school place for artists or people who just want to do it yourself. They can really use art supplies if you have anything to donate. Remember repurpose and reuse things work too
Truly amazing to have an organization like MECCA that is willing to rescue pounds and pounds of useable materials. I rescued a GREAT sewing machine for $20. Better than thrift store. And TEACHERS of all kind receive awesome perks. Just ask!
I loved my visit there I donated things and exchange some things it was a really good experience the people are awesome the stuff there is I thought theres just a lot youd have to go back a few times just to see part of the store
Great if looking for art supplies
