    I held my office year end party at their beginning wheel class and we had the best time. Madeline was so helpful and the whole group had a great time. We will be back

    BE WARNED!!! Ceramics is addicting! Love this place! Everyone that works here is so kind and patient. I started with the Intro wheel and glaze package and I was hooked. Kathy and her team are so sweet and are happy to answer all my questions as I learn. Been thinking of trying our ceramics? Give Fire & Mud a try! Bonus: They have awesome ceramics for sale if you are looking for a unique gift.

    We are not a 'crafty' family. My 9 year old daughter had a fractured wrist and needed to make a ceramic bowel for a school project. I called Fire and Mud, explained the situation and arranged a visit. As soon as we arrived, Kathy and her team put my daughter at ease, worked around her fracture and got her up and running with the wheel in no time. Very relaxed atmosphere and my daughter created a beautiful bowel, decorated with an ornate rose. We were on a tight time scale. Kathy went above and beyond to get it fired, glazed and refired in time for the project deadline. Amazing service and wonderful people. Thank you!!!!!

    I came in here really not knowing what to expect, but when my friends showed up and we met Rey, I had a really good feeling that we were in good hands! The whole time I just really wanted to play the music from Ghost while my friends and I were getting our lesson on how to throw and pull clay to make some tea cups and bowls! This was such a crazy experience because I loved every minute of it! My friends had an amazing 2 hour lesson with Rey and we learned so much about how to properly do certain techniques, make the bowls and cups that we had, and then also cleaning up! It's only right that once you make your mess, you clean up so that was super fun as well! We only did part one of everything when we did our first session. Now we have to wait two weeks until we can go back (our things we made have to properly dry) before we can start glazing our creations and then putting it into the kiln!! Rey is super amazing to work with and I learned so much that night! I have to give her mad props because she was teaching 5 adults who have never done this before all on her own! WHAT A PRO!!

    The store is clean and well organized. The prices are a bit high. I can find similar things online…read moreand Hobby Lobby no longer offers coupons. The folks at the register are soooo friendly that they often forget there is a long line.

I went back to the store simply asking to exchange the damaged items--not even for a refund--and was shocked by how I was treated. The store manager was beyond rude, dismissive, and completely unwilling to help. I explained that the items had just been purchased and were already broken, yet I wasn't even allowed to exchange them for undamaged ones. What should have been a very simple customer-service issue turned into an unnecessarily frustrating experience. I shop at Hobby Lobby regularly and have spent plenty of money there over the years, so this was especially disappointing. I understand stores have policies, but there is no excuse for treating a customer rudely when they are simply trying to resolve an issue with damaged merchandise they just purchased. Unfortunately, this experience has made me seriously reconsider shopping at this location again. Management should be setting the example for good customer service--not making customers feel like an inconvenience for bringing back merchandise that was sold broken.

They setup a…read moreL-shape table and a few staffs standing there teaching the visitors how to make flower with color fabrics. At first, I was standing on the side watching them. It looked very interesting so I decided to sit down and had some fun! One of the staffs, she already started teaching a younger girl (about 12-14 years old) and I sat right next to her . I felt being discriminated by the staff's attitude towards me. I wasn't sure if it was because the younger girl's age or because her parents were with her. For example, the staff would give her very detail instruction and even demonstrated how to do it. When it was my turn, she wasn't really put in effort to teach me. It was my first time learning how to do this too!! When I asked her questions, her reply was, "you can do whatever & be creative....."?? Huh? At least show me how to do it first , once I know it, I can be more creative later. When the younger girl and her parents were ready to leave, she told them about the company and give them a company brochure. I thought now she would have more time to focus on me. I was wrong... she started chatting with another staff about taking lunch break?? I was struggling how to make the fabrics look like "flower"!! I asked her, "I am having hard time making a flower shape???" She said to me, "You will get there eventually.....". Really??? If that is the way she is teaching the class, I will never recommend anyone to go there. When I stood up and ready to leave, she didn't talk about anything about the company or even gave me a brochure. I was very disappointed how different she treated me. I regret that I didn't ask for her name because I think it is important for the business owner, Elena Lai Etcheverty, to know about how her staff treat people differently. All her staffs represent the first impression of the company.

    This place is awesome and the staff is fabulous. I adore Libbi…read more There are a few experiences one could encounter with Charity Wings: 1. Art booth or table at another venue. 2. Visiting the art center in San Marcos as an individual or with a group. 3. Coordinating an event. I coordinated an event with them. They have a 6000 square foot warehouse very close to CSUSM on Industrial rd. It's easy to miss. Upon entering I was blown away by the plethora of art supplies. The people who work there will gladly give you a tour, explaining how everything was donated. I met Elena at CSUSM during while she was recruiting volunteers to make "letters of hope" for young women in the hospital with anorexia and for women in homeless shelters. I was intrigued, sat down and made a letter. I asked questions about the charity and I was blown away by the generosity of others. This meeting seemed like it was meant to be. I was planning a fundraiser event and needed a venue. Elena gave me her information and before I knew it I was planning a fun run and art project event with them. I mainly worked with Libbi, as Elena was busy. Libbi was so kind, helpful and was always on the same page as I. Having an event with Charity Wings was a WIN-WIN situation. I planned on charging for my event and had hoped for more in attendance. We didn't end up making any $ to contribute my specific charity, but we did donate to the Charity wings foundation with 25% of our proceeds. With that 25% we had access to the 6000 sq foot warehouse. We made a collaborative art project. We had a large picture and then small papers that each participant could decorate to add to the larger picture. They set out glitter, buttons, feathers, beads and markers to play with. Libbi and a few of the other staff took care of everything inside the warehouse and gave me free reign of the outdoor space, which is HUGE. We had a bounce house and two monitor speakers playing music. Someone participated in the fun run and suffered from heat illness, and they kindly took care of him until he felt better. Libbi is quite motherly. If I ever plan on having another event, I surely will do it here. Again, it's a Win-win situation. Stress free for sure. So for the other experiences, if you have a non-profit organization, you are able to go here and do art for free as a group, simply call ahead and plan your event. For other individuals: $10/hour regular adult, $8/hour student. They also have membership options $5/hour or $20 per day With admission you get access to all art supplies. This is definitely the place to go if you want to try out a new medium. The staff will guide and assist you as much to their knowledge will allow. They have pottery, metal working, paints, scrap booking, ect. They even have artists rental areas... I can't say anything negative about this place. I hope to work with Charity Wings again soon.
