The studio has a good temperature, unlike our past locations, placement of "stage" is perfect, black background from drapes makes model have wonderful contrast. Adam is focused and has it together.

Planning - I reached out to Davina a couple months ahead of time and communicated with her via text…read moreto confirm number of guests. She was really flexible with my changing head count and just shared the minimum cost which was around $330. She had me choose what design I wanted to paint in advance too, which was easy! Review - I planned this for my birthday and I had such a fun time. Davina really walks you through the steps in an easy to understand way and shows you how to do each step on her own canvas. It was totally fun and doable for my friends who are not generally crafting people! The studio has great decorations and ambiance, Davina gave us glasses, glow in the dark hair clip, and a hat to take home with us. The final painting is so pretty and glows in the dark. Super recommend, especially for kids, families, friends. COVID - we didn't wear masks but you could wear masks. Davina shared she is vaxxed and boosted.

My cousin asked for a second bag bec she's giving the things as presents ... the salesperson said NO ONE BAG PER CUSTOMER... she said it in a very rude way... my cousin said I'll pay for the bag ... she said no ... then she changed her mind and pulled out another bag ... by the way the bag I'm talking about is these tiny paper bags that you buy a dozen from target for $4.99 they are not fancy at all... My cousin took out $5 and gave them to her and the salesperson was so nervous and saying please step aside I want to help other customers and she yelled at her have a nice rest of your day. She was unprofessional and I will never go back to that store although I loved a piece there the horse they had at the entrance that I was planning on purchasing .... but I will never give a penny to this store .

The side of Icarus that I find more interested is the vast array of classes they offer: from oil painting to mini mosaic seascape to the most fascinating fascinator hat making! (I hope they keep teaching this class, as it is very unique and I missed the session in August). Classes prices varied, for example the fascinator one was $45 including all material, lasting 2 hours on a Sunday. What a nice way to spend a day at the winery! The workshop area is separated from the selling one, but it is also open space where visitors of the winery can freely enter and check those students taking the now so omnipresent everywhere wine and paint class. Demographics in these workshops tend to be mostly senior women, but of course they are open to everybody who wants to exploit their creative self at any age. Looking forward more interesting classes.

The clinical class, also advertised as 4 nights/week for lots of hands on experience, ended up being 3 nights for 1.5-2 hours each. In addition, the class ended a week early even though the class had little time for students to get comfortable with injections and venipuncture. The externship program lacks school support from staff. There is no guarantee of placement, often a long delay between graduation and the externship, and when the career & externship advisor is asked a direct question about anything, her only reply is "to consult the website." The new principal was once quoted as saying "you get what you pay for" when questioned about the shortened hands-on class time. It doesn't seem the staff at EAS is truly interested in helping students achieve a better education and career.

From start to finish, Tatiana, the owner, was absolutely wonderful -- so friendly, courteous, and professional. She checked on us throughout the party to make sure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed. The store itself is adorable -- clean, fun, and full of amazing handmade merchandise. It's such a unique spot because not only can you host an amazing party, but your guests can also shop afterward! We did a slime party with their slime partner, and it was such a hit. Each child got to make and take home two slimes, and the entire process was smooth and easy. Every child (and parent!) left smiling with a bag full of goodies. Tatiana even surprised us by putting up a few balloons -- the sweetest touch that made the day even more special. She truly made the whole experience effortless and enjoyable. I can't recommend Collab Crafts enough for any celebration or just a fun day of shopping. Thank you, Tatiana, for making my daughter's birthday an absolute dream come true! ‍

The item was ordered on December 18, 2023, and I did not expect this to be delivered to my sister prior to Christmas. After receiving a order number, which to no avail, was worth nothing. I called the phone number that showed up on line through my bank. After 10-20 attempts to contact Love For Art, and leaving messages, there was never a return call. From 17Track, I received a tracking number, that turned out to be very complicated, I did find a tracking number. Once tracked, I find that it has not left the receiving warehouse, nor do I know that location. 17Track have not find the item, even after I had to find a courier.

It seems he has created a school of 'speed paiting' with so many followers and also other artists doing similar activity in different events I have been invited to. The canvas rotating and the brushes like jumping in the air while admiring guests nibbling on bites was one of the milestones of the event Masters of Color last Saturday at Lexus Escondido. I like his depiction of women, especially the flamenco dancers, as well as the celebrities like Dali expressed with a very explosive palette of colors. I am considering taking a class at this new studio on the second floor of the Lexus building, as he offers art classes and private lessons as well.
