Overview: great class, terrible traffic and parking, but worth it!…read more ---- Located in Ocean Beach so traffic getting them is crazy and parking is toughhh, especially on fridays, and the weekend. Make sure you give yourself enough time when planning on getting therWe found some street parking a couple blocks away and walked. Our instructor, Aurora, did a quick demo and then we were left to create our pieces. We had 3 balls of clay (give or take a half pound each ball) to work with and you get one free piece firing included with the class, and additional pieces to fire are $10 each. It's pretty autonomous but if you need help the instructor is there to assist you. After you create your pieces, you pick a glaze and then clean up the work station. The class is 90 minutes and it goes by quick, time flies when you're having fun!! ---- Overall: had a fantastic time creating pieces that will hopefully be functional ware, a great date idea, I can't wait to be back and try out their open studio times

Loved our recent visit to Botanica in Ocean Beach! At first glance, it looks like an adorable plant…read moreshop, but they also host ceramic wheel-throwing classes, which my boyfriend and I decided to try--and I'm so glad we did. Our class was on a really nice day, and for a super reasonable price, we got 1.5 hours on the wheel, which felt like the perfect amount of time. The wheel throwing class is either indoors (behind the plant shop) or in the back (half exposed garage). We were in the back and it was a good amount of space for our group of 4 people. There were more couples next to us as well. Also, I loved that they allow you to bring outside drinks to enjoy while creating, making it a fun and relaxed experience. Our instructor was great--attentive when needed but also gave space to explore at your own pace. This wasn't our friend time on the wheel, but we were with friends who were new to wheel-throwing, so he assisted when needed. I can't wait to see our finished ceramic pieces! Whether you're a plant lover, an aspiring ceramicist, or just looking for a unique experience, Botanica is definitely worth checking out. After your session, it's a good excuse to explore the streets of OB - especially on a very sunny day. I'll definitely come back another time.

HOWEVER ... the Ballet Institute of San Diego has taken over the showroom side of the business and the side that had the counter/register was not open. And yes, we did go during their limited hours, about 12:30pm on a Thursday. Two women were in there apparently packing up items, and didn't open the door --- and one just pointed to the door where the following sign was posted: "Please call for assistance during office hours, 9:30-am - 4pm, Monday - Friday" Does anyone know if the business is closing or moving, or have they just dismantled the retail showroom?

She supported us across several main living spaces--including the kitchen, dining room, living room, and primary bedroom--and brought a thoughtful, cohesive vision to each area. Britney is incredibly professional, communicative, and creative. She truly listens and tailors her ideas to reflect your personal style, which made the entire process feel both collaborative and effortless. One of the highlights was her 3D renderings--they made it so much easier to visualize the spaces and confidently make decisions. We had such a great experience that we've now worked with her twice, bringing her back to help with our backyard as well. We highly recommend Britney and Just Go Home Designs to anyone looking for a talented, reliable designer for their home projects!

An outside banner states this shop as the 'Best' antique shop in San Diego, it's debatable...Je ne said pas! This shop located on Newport Ave., has been here since 1995, however it was my first visit after leaving the sourdough shop across the street. Limited street parking. I've walked pass this shop many times, but today what caught my attention were the vignettes of Christmas decor. I enjoyed strolling through many different decor all unique and some captured the french flair. While there's some vintage antique furniture collection, I wasn't really interested in going over their inventory, perhaps another time and when I can walk through isles and see more details. Sadly, no staffer greeted Me or offered to help :( Some items were labeled with price, and those that were seems reasonably priced. For now, my pup Fendi and I were amused by the holiday decor which was primarily towards the front of the store. Whether you're in the market for vintage antique collectibles or just browsing, this shop's vignettes might inspire you, worthwhile visit.
