    This place has been open forever! The people who work here are so friendly, patient and helpful! I find everything I come out looking for! I even found this beautiful Buddha and gold chain

    Lady was nice enough- I guess... I got there at 5:25pm!!! TOO LATE!!!! They close at 5:30pm. My first time here. Walked up I told her exactly what I needed and she told me to come back on Tuesday if I don't mind... on Tuesday?!...oh well... I guess I MAY have to go to Amazon! . She answered my questions as to what bead I was looking for and whether not they had it!! Maybe I wanted to much in such a short period of time. After going back the NEXT DAY I was soooo happy with my findings! Thank you Ladies for all of your help!

    Anklet I made with beads from the source, bead source ;) 3

    I love coming here for beads. I come here at least once a month with my sister. They have a HUGE selection and the ladies at the counter are such sweethearts. They are so kind and knowledgeable and always make my day. Love you Sue, love you Denise!!

    Great service. Good workmanship. Exactly as I asked. I brought my on beads. But they have millions in inventory. Parking meter street parking.

    No much of a selection and too expensive for what was available in Arcadia store, never visited other locations. NO checks accepted!

    Came to this Color Me mine on two separate occasions. Came with a large group for a work event and…read morecame another time with just one other friend. Both times the staff here were so incredibly friendly and helpful! When I came with the larger group the staff made sure that we knew the process and let us know of the time limit. Located near the Culver Steps and Culver Hotel, next to Maruwu Seicha. Theres some street parking options as well several parking structures close by. This location is one of the bigger ones I've been to with plenty of tables and seating. Loved sitting by the window to get natural light while painting. They have a wide variety of pottery options to choose from. They have seasonal items and sculptures to cute trinket holders to plates. Once you pick your piece you can get paint and any of the tools. A perfect way to get creative and walk away with a one of a kind piece that you painted!

    TLDR: DO NOT come to this Color Me Mine because you may get ceramic poisoning…read more This Culver City Color Me Mine has a manipulative and terrible business practice that left me extremely angry. As a caveat, I've had just fine experiences at the Palo Alto Color Me Mine, and my specific issue here is how the manager runs his studio and comes up with ridiculous policies on handling defective pottery that provides no compensation to the customer. When I got my fired plate back, there was a super rough patch on the front from not being glazed properly. Uneven glazing is a food safety hazard as it traps bacteria and exposed ceramic will cause poisoning. I took it back for them to refire it and even out the glazing, but they called back saying they tried a few times and each time the pinholes got worse with new ones showing. They said that's the best they could do and told me to pick it up. I went to pick it up, and they managed to lose my piece, claiming it went back in the kiln again by accident (4th time it went in!!). So I had to wait another week for them to say I could pick it up again. Over a month has passed now since I painted my piece. When I went to inspect the piece finally, there were pinholes and dust and colored particles everywhere on my piece that weren't originally there, and there were still rough patches on the top where I would eat off of. I asked for some sort of compensation given they are possibly giving me ceramic poisoning and they messed up my piece even more. The employees said they talked to the manager (who was on the phone and avoided talking to me himself) and he couldn't do anything about it since it's "normal". I demanded to talk to the manager myself and he had the audacity to say that he guarantees it is food safe and that this level of bubbling and rough patches is all normal. When I emphasized that my food safety was at risk and this plate isn't fully functional, he reluctantly said that I can paint another plate...but guess what: the manager told me I had to give my original piece back to the studio!! He didn't let me just paint another one and didn't give me any discount on my piece. What are they doing with my piece?? He claims it would get donated. Donate it to people and then give those people ceramic poisoning?? What kind of studio policy makes you give back your defective plate in order to paint a new one?? When I also mentioned that I would be leaving Culver City for good in two days so don't have time to paint one anyways, he made it clear that he couldn't provide any monetary compensation for their mistakes. This is manipulative and extremely slimy business practice and no ceramic studio should be run like this. Also, the fact that they couldn't fix my piece through refiring means that they're either incompetent at glazing and/or they're using really cheap and bad glaze. I will be taking this matter up to corporate because Color Me Mines should be providing joy, not anger to its customers.

    Yelpers hence Yelp reports Fast Frame closed, hm…read more.. Westwood Art & Frame (receipts state Fast Frame) resides, does business in the same digs, same address. Did a name change mean a business model, personnel, product quality change too? NO! What's in a name anyway? Unless it's still Steven's and Kyle's name, names, their artist's/architect's eye, eyes doing precision quality work. Actor hubby and I have recently culled his old photos. Came across one he really liked but couldn't recall the origin. I snuck it away to be framed as a surprise. He discovered it missing, put two and two together sleuthed it to Westwood Art & Frame or what he knew as Fast Frame. Thanks Steven for not ratting me out. Picked up the mystery photo today. Expertly matted, framed now added to our library/loft gallery along with Al Hirschfeld's "Fiddler on the Roof" cast caricature capture (hubs was THE 1964 Fiddler) and a Fast Frame, framed Twentieth Century Fox one cent residual check. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=PGEfEMmlKll90as7FrIdiA&select=0sEMWqjr9q4I4LKFsk36QA I hang art without measuring, hubby doesn't. Words. Cocktail. Copacetic. Smiling as we look up at this new Westwood Art & Frame addition. All this has prompted a visit to the The Paley Archive at the Beverly Hills Public Library to sort out more of the love of my life's vast career. IMDB doesn't even have the half of it. Suspect more photos to be Westwood Art & Frame framed, hung (by me), enjoyed...

I promise I don't do this last minute thing on purpose but I know that Westwood Art & Frame will come through for me in a pinch and do great work in the process! No picture this time as it is wrapped up for my friend, but wanted to shout out to this company and say how grateful I am for the great work and be speedy turn-around. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I have been coming to Lundeen's for years. Since long before the pandemic we have…read moremade a point of stopping by every time we are in Culver City. We are always curious to see what new finds they have on display. This is one of those local gems that we hope stays in the neighborhood a long, long time. There is always something funny, clever, or creative to explore. Many of their items are unique to the LA area or support local creatives. We've bought countless gifts for family, friends, and let's admit it - ourselves - here. They manage to include a wide variety of housewares, games, books, toys, art and craft supplies, jewelry, decor, and accessories into a cozy shop. There is an assortment of cards for life's many occasions, with creative sentiments and plenty of personality to express what you can't always find the words to communicate. We have spent many happy afternoons just browsing through the aisles and considering what we might want to buy. Upon reaching the register, there is always a friendly face to greet you and offer to wrap your purchases if they are gifts. We love that they take the time to select a combination of ribbon colors with the type of gift and recipient in mind! Thank you Lundeen's for being a bright spot in the city that offers genuine friendly service and real personality, and an opportunity to see and hold things before you buy them - a nice alternative to endless scrolling through online web stores!
