Loved the class and gorgeous charcuterie wood platter I have! I did this with a few girlfriends for a birthday. It was a great experience because: 1) She went step by step and made it very easy 2) She was open to using other colors besides blues for the typical ocean design 3) She was also very friendly 4) You could use her expertise as needed for a certain step read more

Peg is great but Kay definitely has room for improvement in treating students. She was rude the entire class, responded rude, abruptly, and got really defensive when I asked for the contact information of the professor that I had liked. When I went to pick up my artwork i heard that professor no longer works there, I really hope she didn't get fired. I took two classes here, the first one in Oceanside with Peg which was amazing, the second one in Downtown SD which I am not going back to. read more

Such a fun class! Kay explained everything so clearly and was so helpful! Seeing the art come to life was awesome. I will definitely be back. read more

So much fun!! I've done the resin flower class and the ocean resin class. If I could go weekly I would because it is that much fun. The classes have enough people you can mingle but not too many it is overwhelming. Hands on help is given if needed. All supplies and help is given to you to make the most beautiful pieces. Obsessed how my ocean tray and coasters came out. If you are looking for a fun thing to do with friends or by yourself (both classes had people by themselves) do it. It is that fun that if someone doesn't want to join--still just go or invite me ;) read more

Took the class as a sister birthday present weekend! It was four of us and we really enjoyed it. It is located in a small art studio. We made resin jewelry which we were able to take home immediately rather than a later pick up. Kay was great and helped us along the way. I would recommend it for a girl's weekend or mother/daughter activity. read more

Fun way to spend a couple hours. Julia was very helpful and we had a great experience. read more

I've been looking for a nice charcuterie board as my boyfriend and I recently purchased a ton of charcuterie cheese and meats. I happened to run into Art Magic Creative Studio on my influencer, Yelp friend, Faith D, IG reel she posted back in Valentine's Day. The epoxy resin used on the boards were non-toxic, and food could be plated on top! Amazing! The day I found this studio, I found out that they were hosting an event that Friday in Point Loma in San Diego! What great timing! The studio mainly holds their classes in Oceanside but as mentioned earlier, I lucked out in finding them the same week they were having an event at Modern Times Beer in Point Loma. I made a reservation via their website. They had about 5 different creative wood options to choose from, ranging from coasters to trinket boards to serving boards to charcuterie boards with handle. Lots of options to choose from for this event! The prices ranged from about $70-120 which is actually a bit cheaper than at the studio I noticed. They also had additional 5% or 10% discount based on the amount of friends and family you come with as well! As we were a group of 3, we got the additional 10% off. I chose their serving oval board that was 10" x 16". My boyfriend and my friend both got their trinket board that was 6" x 12". There were about 5-6 tables of about 6-8 people when we went. A huge amount of people with the owner(?) of the studio and 3 assistants. My group thought the flow of the event was kind of everywhere as there were so many people attending and not enough workers. But nevertheless, we all had an amazing time and made some new friends! We all were given a free drink with the brewery as well. It was quite a fun experience, and I left quite happy with how everything went (besides the gold accents I added too much of) and wanting to do another class in the future! I believe right before we left, my boyfriend and friend talked to the owner, and she mentioned that they were planning to open a studio in San Diego! That would be exciting as I wouldn't have to make the drive up to Oceanside just to have another amazing, fun class. Hopefully this'll happen soon! Overall, a really fun, innovative art project with family and friends! I now have an expensive but beautiful charcuterie board to plate my food and charcuterie cheese and meats! So excited! Thank you again for hosting the event in San Diego. We will be back in the future! read more

We found this place on Instagram. The classes are easy to book on line. We were greeted and we had to chose a board. There was plenty to select or you could bring in your own board. The experience was so much more than expected. From start to finish, Kay was extremely helpful and attentive. She had an assistant taking pictures while we were creating our boards. Kays instructions were precise and easy to follow. We were amazed on how the projects turned out. We definitely will be back to take another class. I highly recommend taking a class, the instruction is great and you will be amazed at how wonderful the final product looks!! read more

All I can say is if you are looking for something fun and different to do and/or have been debating on whether to do this, this is your sign to SIGN UP!

I recommend this class to everyone. I was intimidated, thinking it looked very difficult but I was so wrong! Kay explained everything so well, it was so much fun and they all came out fantastic! Several people in the class were coming back for the second or third time, I will now be one of them!!!! Everyone should give it a try and don't worry you'll love the end product even if you have zero artistic abilities!!! read more

I had a great time creating my own epoxy resin cheese board with Kay. I chose a large piece and attended the workshop in downtown San Diego. She gave clear and methodical instructions throughout the workshop. There were 7 people in my class but I felt like we each got one-on-one attention to make the most beautiful piece possible. The pacing of the class was great, even though we were literally on a timer with the epoxy hardening. In the end, I love my creation and would absolutely recommend this workshop to anyone who wants some usable art in their home! read more

I took the resine trinket tray class with Kay and I liked it very much! The class was so well explained and mind relaxing. We had a lot of options to choose from to decorate our creation. I highly recommend this class and place to everyone who likes crafting and wants to be creative. The only observation i will add here is that the group was too big. The experience can be even better if the number of attendance is maybe less than 10people. read more

super fun and creative experience! You not only get to meet the people you create the art pieces with, but you also get to create your own unique piece of work with the guidance to create it well. :) expect lots of laughs and excitement! read more

my sister and I took a workshop on a Sunday taught by Julia. We had a great time and Julia was so nice and a wonderful instructor. We made a surfboard and a tray and were very pleased with how they turned out. It's not a difficult process so appropriate for those who like the idea but aren't experienced in crafts. This would be a fun activity for a group. Highly recommen! read more

Incredible class and Peg was a superb instructor! I really would like to take another class! I am not from here and I really wanted to learn this medium and this was an excellent opportunity to do just that! It is a little tricky to find, so leave in plenty of time. It is well worth the fee and you have a beautiful tray or art piece when you're finished. read more

My sister purchased a gift certificate for me to join her in making my own epoxy resin charcuterie board. She booked an appointment for me and a coworker to join her. It's located in a beautiful art studio in Oceanside. The instructor/owner is an excellent teacher. She gives explicit directions and she comes around and to make sure everyone knows what to do. It was 7 of us in the epoxy class so it was nice and small. We thoroughly enjoyed making our charcuterie boards. They came out great! Take a look at my pics and please book a class with this knowledgeable instructor in this beautiful art studio. read more

Such a wonderful experience my daughter and I had. We took the Charcuterie Board Epoxy Resin class as an early Mother's Day adventure. Kay, our instructor, was fabulous and very patient. It could be very overwhelming but Kay was right there to show the special techniques on each step. My daughter and I shared this experience with 6 other ladies who were just as excited to experience this wonderful experience. I will treasure my "Charcuterie Board" each time I use it!! Thank you, Kay, for all your patience and expertise!!! read more

You don't need any artistic skills at all for these to turn out just as good if not better than any premade ones you can find to buy so why not make your own? It's so much fun! The instructor helps you the entire way so you can't mess up and even guides you on your creative process so it can turn out how you really want. I've done the class twice now and everyone's boards turn out better than they were expecting! She also makes the class really meaningful/special (you'll see what I mean when you go) which was such a nice unforgettable touch to the class. If you're from out of town please note that you'll have to pick these up another day. You'll need to pick up 30 min before/after another class or ask the instructor when she is available. You can have them mailed to you if you pay shipping costs. read more
