If you've never done rug tufting before, I recommend going for one of the smaller sizes, because it took me quite a long time to finish my "small" canvas. You send the staff designs ahead of time and they review it and confirm whether it's doable as a rug design. When we got to the studio, the designs had already been prepped at the stations. We got a quick lesson on how to use a tufting gun, got to pick our yarn colors, and got started! I actually found it to be pretty challenging, but at any point if you need help, the employees are super friendly and will assist you. Really fun, 10/10 experience! I would consider doing another one of their many crafts here, and the merch they have for sale is also a really good selection.

It's located in the mall toward the outer edge, so it's actually really easy to access once you park, which was nice. We did decoden art and got to decorate a photo frame, a mirror, and a keychain. The lady working there showed the kids how to get started and explained what to do, and then it was really up to them to get creative! They could go back and forth and choose from all the different little charms and decorations they wanted to use. There were SO many to choose from, which made it even more fun. The whole experience took us about an hour to an hour and a half from start to finish, and the kids got to take home their own unique pieces of art that they created themselves. This is such a cute place with so many different types of crafts to choose from. Even if you're not there to do a craft, they have lots of adorable things you can buy as well. I would definitely recommend Tutu Fun if you enjoy decoden art, crafts, or just want something fun and relaxing to do. It's a great activity for kids, birthdays, or even just a creative day out. We had a great time and I would definitely come back!

They have so many jar options to choose from and different price options. Loved all the scents they had available to choose. I think the only basic they didn't have was plain vanilla. They had other options but it was mixed with something else. All the other scent options great! The $5 add on for sea shells or stones for the top of your candle is a fun edition! We were able to add these half hour after making the candle. So there is a bit of a wait to let the candle settle after making it but we just walked around a bit and still were able to take out candles home same day. There is a two day wait after making it until you can use it. It's totally worth it. So much fun!

My friend and I randomly stumbled upon this place while wandering around Carlsbad Village and…read morehonestly it was such a vibe! Super fun and lowkey therapeutic which was exactly what we needed. The staff were awesome, super friendly, and walked us through everything step by step. We got to pick our own vessels and scents which was honestly the best part. I mixed mango coconut and pineapple together and it smelled so good! We threw some glitter into the soy wax mix because obviously we had to and we even got to design our own labels which turned out so cute. The candle needed an hour to cool so we went off and explored the area and then came back to top them off with some stones. They turned out so pretty omg! The price was worth it! Oh and since I was giving mine as a gift one of the staff members tied a little ribbon on my bag without me even asking which was such a sweet touch. If you're looking for something fun and a little different to do you have to check this place out!!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The service is also really good, they are always eager to help you whenever you are having trouble. For someone who has never done this before, I really appreciated the help! The colors are also really nice that they let you choose and there is a plenty of selection for the colours. Your items become avabile about 2-3 weeks after we had out event. The parking can be a bit difficult as there is a smalll parking lot in the side but it can get filled really fast. I had no trouble with parking when actually doing the class but when we picked up the items it was a bit crowded.

I was not Lookinf for place to visit but it became like an entertainment option as well just because the little train was so cute, I could not resist to take a look at the place. Then I realized that they were taking a class and Mikey was super nice to show me the studio and the patio. He let me write messages on dried leaves and also let me contribute painting the the mini train too. The folks that were there look very happy immersed in their painting class and I could see he has several classes options. Also as co-working space you can pay per hour or several hours and a very cheap price. This is one of good vibes Leucadia funk artsy places and I recommend you check it out. He also have parties from time to time and next is coming up very soon this month.

You pick out the unfinished piece you want, gather your paint and supplies from the shelf, and then spend a couple hours painting them and turn them in for final firing. The pieces are priced reasonably -- it includes all supplies and the final firing. My friend chose a mug that holds a cookie on the bottom and decided to transform it into a likeness of her pug dog-- see the photo... Mine was much more tame-- I picked out a small geometric vase and ended up painting it an ombre shade of an earthy purple. We sat and enjoyed the experience and they offer a concierge type service-- they cleaned up everything for us! Very chill and fun evening- will do again .

The selection was low the day we painted, but on the day we picked up the selection was plenty with well stocked shelves. Brushes and cups of water are already neatly set up at the tables. The only thing you have to do is get your paint in the bottled containers. Little hands may need assistance with this or leave it to the adults to prep the paint dish. I really like the space in the Art Cafe. There is plenty of room between each table. It may be different with more customers (we were the only ones on this weekday visit). But even then, I think there is more plenty of space you don't have to worry bumping into someone. I find all ceramic cafes to be a bit pricey but this is something to do once in awhile. I find it therapeutic and I love to watch the kids paint and be creative with their piece. Great bonding time with someone or good, quiet creative time for just yourself. Go check them out.

I came in wanting to make a camera strap and their staff was so helpful in suggesting materials and encouraging me to be creative. I also got to hear about the history of the shop while chit chatting and raving over beads. Will most definitely be back!
