    Fox mold
    Koda H.

    Super fun place to visit! I went with my partner for our anniversary and stayed for around 2 hours. The staff were so friendly and helped explain the painting and glazing process! All the molds are pre-made and they offer many fun statues as well as plates and mugs. The place was relatively cheap for the amount of time you get to stay and paint, all molds ranged from around $19 to $60! Such a fun way to spend a few hours with friends and just talk and paint!

    Now named Create It! is located nextdoor to Screamin Mimi's Ice Cream Shop. Such a relaxing atmosphere to sit down and relax your mind. They have a variety of pottery pieces to choose from. Prices for pottery painting are all inclusive, which means the price on the item you choose to paint includes: pottery, studio time, paint, glaze, and firing. With that said, I do feel it's a little pricey (of course, depends on what you choose to paint) - for two platters we paid $101. And if you want to return to finish your piece, you pay $5 in order to use their paints/tools (but, we we're given the opportunity to return without extra cost; which was nice - this is only temporary). And, once you are done with your pottery piece, you'll have it in your hand 7-10 days after - staff will call you when ready (Be sure to fill out the pottery slip with your contact number and turn it in with your piece when you are done). I appreciated the variety of acrylic paints available. They also have specialty glazes - "art n' jar glazes" and "recipe" pottery glazes that allow you to create unique effects and different look to your pieces - these are extra cost. Create It! is more than just pottery painting, you can choose to create a project with wood or glassfussion, join ladies night, or a summer camp for kids. Current COVID precautions: Create It! is currently taking reservations only. I called ahead of time for mine. The location is kept very clean and organized. Staff sanitizes between guests. Hand sanitizer is available for guests. Staff requests that you do not touch a pottery piece unless that's the one you will buy. When ready to start painting, staff will pour the colors for you - just let them know which ones you want.

    Top: Before firing. (Takes about two weeks for it to be ready) Bottom: Finished product. (They call you when it's ready to be picked up)

    Were you devastated like my daughter and I, when the pottery studio in Santa Rosa closed? Well, no need to be sad anymore!!! 'Create it!' is the new place to go! The prices are a little higher than I remember from the pottery studio but the pieces are cooler, and the owner is amazing. She gave us just enough advice to take our piece from homemade trinket to amazing one of a kind piece of art. There are sample pieces all over the studio giving you great ideas when your mind isn't into creating (but your kid is.) Wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

    I had my daughter's 10th Birthday Party here on a Sunday. Jen the owner did an incredible job hosting the party, from time of arrival to the moment we left. She was so good at handling 15 wild girls and explaining in detail what the process was. Jen had a smile on her face the entire time and was just on top of it. Normally when I leave a party place I am exhausted because the "hostess" that is normally promised like at epic center or rebounderz can never be found and are standing watching be do their part. Even the cake she jumped right in with a candle and lighter. She offered to cut the cake but I wanted to do that, so she offered to pass out the cake WOW!!! She was also so transparent about extra time and cost of the whole event keeping me in mind. I love that you can bring your own food and drinks, I came home this evening like wow what a great place of business and couldn't believe I had so much energy after a big party.

    Time with friends

    This a great way to have a low key girls' night out or de-stress after work. We had fun last night and can't wait to come back again soon.

    Sit at a table and paint!

    If you're interested in taking your little ones to go outside and get crafty, or if you want some time to relax and be artsy, this place is for you! Such a cute little place to get the creative juices flowing! There are a lot of cool ceramic options that you can paint. The figurines range from ceramic animals (dogs, cats, etc.) to little houses and plates and dishes! Whatever you're in the mood to paint and create, they have! They also have a succulent station which I thought was sooo adorable, but maybe next time! You basically pick a glass container and fill it up with scoops of soil and then you can choose which type of succulent plants you want. They also have little decorations to make it more like a plant home. So cute! The owner was also really nice. I believe her name is Jen and she was very helpful and talkative, so everyone is welcomed. Prices vary and can be seen as a bit more on the expansive side but it takes about 3 or so hours to paint so you are really there for the experience. It also takes a few days for them to glaze the ceramic but you have a 30 day waiting limit to pick it up. Such a cool place!

    My daughter is absolutely obsessed with Young Art Studio! We've always known she had a creative…read morespark, but it wasn't until she started classes here that we really saw her artistic side blossom. She looks forward to class every single week! Julia, the owner, is not only an incredibly talented artist but also a truly gifted teacher. She's so patient and encouraging with the kids, and our daughter has learned so much under her guidance. Each class is thoughtfully structured into two parts -- drawing/painting and then clay molding -- which keeps the kids engaged and excited. The mix of ages has also been wonderful, as our daughter (one of the youngest) learns so much from watching the older students. We couldn't recommend Young Art Studio more for any child who loves to create and express themselves through art!

    I came here when I was 7 years old, and now 10 years later, I can say that Young Artist Studio has…read morebeen one of the best parts of my life. This place is honestly like a second home to me. Im off to college now but I will always be back to visit. A huge part of why I love this place is so much is because of the teacher, Julia. She is the most supportive and kindest people I have ever met. She will give you the best advice on how to approach a drawing and she knows exactly how to help you grow as an artist. She celebrates every little improvement and reminds you that mistakes are just part of the process. Over the many years I have been at this studio, I have learned so many new techniques. But most importantly, I learned to believe in myself because Julia always believed in me, even when I doubted myself. One of my favorite memories is of a black and white drawing I did of a girl. I was scared to start it at first because I didn't have the confidence. I didn't think I was capable of making it look good but Julia encouraged me to just try it because she believed I could. I trusted her and I'm so glad I did because that drawing turned out amazing. It's one of my favorite pieces to this day. I'm so grateful for everything Julia has done for me. Thank you for believing in me and helping me grow. You've made such a big difference in my life. Truly the best teacher and friend I could ever ask for. I love you so much Julia.

Ignore overly positive and short reviews its probably an admin or staff from CCA trying to cover the truth experiences of students. Initially entered for animation but that department along with illustration and other craft related programs are a joke. THERE IS NO INTERNSHIP or connection to Pixar like they promised during the interview. You can't go back on it because whoever told you that info left the school for a different job. The Graphic Design dept is pathetic. A lot of people quit cuz the school wont pay plus most have given up on teaching. They do the bare minimum for students. Often rushing to leave after class these are the tenure prof it doesnt help their old disconnect from the modern world. They also admit they dont know current programs and teach critical theory based bs which is useless. Right now its all adjunct prof with little to no teaching experience this is across all programs. I heard it from friends plus its hard to monitor who is still working at CCA. They dont consistently update their website. All the positive reviews for this school are from 5-20years ago listing prof who arent here anymore. Look up Cca lawsuits they've had quiet a few and tried to dismiss it. *Currently theres a lawsuit for antisemitism on campus where they allowed students to bully a jewish professor. The programs at this school are a joke since they don't pay faculty the prof treat classes like its a chore. I've had classrooms with no ceiling so its loud, classmates sing out loud, bullying is a common thing among students /teachers. YOU'RE LEARNING ON YOUR OWN. Forget this place if you want to learn current programs they dont teach any technical programs. Its all critical race theory and their specifc agendas on politics and its relation to SF. Each class is reviewing your work with a prof everyone gets 20min total out of a 2-3hr class. I've heard tangents to not answering questions. Prof say you'll have to talk to someone else for help. They throw random problems at you and its up to you to solve it. I had a professor who retired this year offer an off topic project an interactive one and asked if anyone wants to do it for free, its great experience. We asked him if he knew a program we could render or use but he straight out said IDk...but im sure you'll figure it out. THEY LIE ABOUT CAREER HELP. Hate to admit but they had a decent center but like CCA fashion they wont tell you when theres a drastic change. The school fired the entire center moving it on handshake with a beyound pathetic dept. No one even knows what they do but they run the career center. They hired odd people as career counselors. We had a gallery curator who can barely find a job, a random industrial prof, and a rock star. Yea they did, they hired some bootleg rock star with an english background to help all majors. They were not helpful from deflecting on students to projecting their own opinions on job preferences. I wanted to apply an internship at meta and one of these idiots told me off saying why would I want to work for such an immoral company. Lady, you work for a diploma mill fcking up ppls finacial stability. Everything they mention on their site is 100% a lie they dont help you at all with internships in fact we havent had a career fair in 2years. If we do its only for architectures, graphic design, and industrial. The sad part about career fairs its mostly adobe or other design companies am to sell you products. The portfolio reviews are only 15-20min each. 80% is panel bs from people in the industry talking about their success. It feels like an MLM where they fill you with nonsense and basic free merch. Adobe even spent 30min presenting a new mobile PS app for us to pay/download there was a raffle but its completely inappropriate. The school just wants to make $$$$$ while helping other companies to exploit our desire to enter the field by pushing us to buy more stuff. Overall, theres no opportunities. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. Lastly the saddest part we are robbed our last $100 because we have to pay to print our own degrees. Its $200 if you want it framed this applies to graduates too.

    I'm currently a junior at the school, studying illustration. Almost all I have to say about CCA is…read morehugely positive. I can only speak for my own department, but I love the professors here. Learning about becoming a better artist and professional has been a life-changing experience. They care about the students, and they're in it to give back and be mentors for others. I was lucky to have amazing teachers, amazing advisors to fall back on, and a student population that's engaged on stuff that really matters (diversity, social justice, equality). I'm an international student too, and CCA has shown more than just hospitality to me. I've also gotten the chance to meet and work with several people in the administration of the school - the Admissions Office, the Office of Student Life, and Student Affairs. I haven't met a single person that isn't excited about creating an awesome community for students and making sure that they feel like they feel cared for. If I was pressed to say what the downsides are, there are very little. The main one I can think of is the division of the two campuses - one in Oakland, and one in SF. But they're also going to consolidate everything in SF anyway, so I'm not even mad. I wish I had applied a few years later so I could get to see the new campus!
