No, not for the sensitive people among us as you'll hear what you did wrong but for anyone wanting to learn the proper way, Mina is a master in her craft. Awesome value for the time and money spent as you're spending your complete afternoon creating art. 10/10, highly recommended!

We booked a private class for my sister's birthday! There were 9 of us total and we each had our…read moreown wheel to use comfortably. Brittany was our teacher today, and was such a great guide! She was patient, enthusiastic, and very warm with all of us. All of us except the birthday girl had no experience throwing, but Brittany helped us really well! We made about 2 pieces each during our alotted time (I think we had the class for about an hour). After that, we scrubbed off the clay from our hands and then we were allowed to choose from about 10 different glazes. Overall, it was a fun and new experience! I'm definitely open to coming back to take a class there.

My one frustration is that they used red clay and didn't warn us that our clothes could stain. I kept my white pants clean until the very end when my piece got taken off the wheel and now I have a big red stain on my pants. Nonetheless, would highly recommend the experience - just wear dark clothes!

My sister was visiting from Australia, my mom lives in Whittier and we are in Redondo beach. We all drove to Long Beach excited. Our grand total was $440.00 We got there at 3 pm and our instructor Katie didn't even introduce herself. She had run out of sugar for the scrubs and essential Oils, her essential oils were so cheap and watered down. The ass ended at 3:32 PM. So we were shorted 58 minutes. She didn't even have proper containers for us and used tape to hold our scrub together, which we warmed her it won't hold and she disregarded our concerns. The scrub ended up leaking all over our car. We complained via email to Shelly the owner , who offers us a make up class. We advised her logistically it would be too hard to get everyone together And asked for a refund . She refused and gave us back $120 which in my opinion is a joke. We had asked for 50% minimum. Our whole evening was ruined because of this horrible company. There are so many other better businesses please do not give your money to this establishment. I wish we had been warned and should have realized when after 4 years of being open they only had 15 reviews on yelp. Save yourself the time, money and hassle

The first time I went we were the only ones there for a while and the owner, Robin was very kind and attentive to us and make us feel very comfortable without being overbearing. It was really great to experience the art time with my daughter in this space. We had done a succulent pot craft. My daughter loved painting her pot, and then adding embellishments from their craft area. They have so many cool art project nights. We definitely plan to keep coming.

The space was safe and welcoming, even for our special needs son! The musical instruments were a beautiful touch! We completed 3 projects and Greg helped EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON in our group! We all felt included and left with a lot of pride and our creative juices flowing. It's in a safe corner location in Bixby with a little area out front to get air or hang out in between projects. This came in very handy for our kiddos to run out some energy. The prices are reasonable and I had a lot more fun here as compared to those wine and paint nights. I mean, don't get me wrong, those are fun too but it doesn't allow for a ton of creativity. So if you're itching to create or explore art for the first time, this is the studio for ya! I would highly recommend this place to anyone (all ages and abilities) for private events, birthday parties, take a class, or just pop in and explore! You won't regret it!

The umbrella provided no true coverage and sitting in the sun made the experience anything but enjoyable. Me and my party wanted to quiet and leave half way through, a few did. I would never attended an event hosted at this space again, what was supposed to be a fun celebration for my mother's bday was a few hot hours in the sun... The space also limited the teachers ability to communicate with everyone effectively..... Brushstokes needs to ensure a comfortable setting for all its customers

He seemed extremely passionate in what he does! Giving a low rating just because of our experience with front desk staff. We come in super cordial just to be met with stank attitudes. A few weeks after our session, we called the place to follow up on our pieces and the woman on the phone sounded rude about us asking about it. We went to pick up our pieces recently and the woman at the front desk definitely sounded like the one we talked to on the phone, same voice and same unwelcoming attitude. As if our presence ruined her day or us picking up our pieces was such a drastic request for her to do.

Good news- close to my home, sells the clay, shelf space available to premium members, several…read morewheels. Bad news- read your contract. Your $180 monthly membership does not include firing you glazed piece (that cast extra) and you will need to give a 30 day notice ( even though you will not be using the membership at all like in my case where I am unable to). I broke my finger 2 days after I started, so I could not use this membership for weeks in the beginning but did not complain. This was my problem. But... all together I have used the facility one time and then had personal issues that prevents me from using it now. I did not see the 30 day notice and am paying because I did sign it. It seems much like grifting. There is no downside for the studio (not using equipment so no wear and tear) except the loss of my monthly payment. Perhaps this sounds like sour grapes but I truly do not understand this extra month of payment besides they must think they need my money worse than I do.

Arrived 10 mins early and she was willing to start my session. Class is only 4 people total at a time. MUST call far in advance for BSG - Beginning Stained Glass class. Val explained step by step and showed demonstration when needed. A bit pricey but lots of tools needed. For 2 people it was $170, so $85 pp. I would be interested to take ASG = Advanced Stained Glass class in a future date. Bring something to drink, snacks and dress comfortable. I do wish there were more templates to choose from and more glass colors to choose from. Parking lot isn't an issue.

Well mission accomplished. First and foremost, Val is an amazing and fun instructor. Anything art related really intimidates me but she was very encouraging and patient with me. We both wanted to make glass art related to our dogs and we had so many options to choose from and Val had the perfect selection for beginners like us. Lastly I was surprised by how affordable a class with all the materials provided was. We started out with a simpler project but want to keep progressing and get better and we won't break the bank doing so! We can't wait to go back and I can't wait for you, the reader, to get in there and create something beautiful! Thank you, Val, for everything!
