It was fun to have access to so many recycled materials and meet new people. I've attended a few other Rediscover-sponsored events (farmers' markets, one at my kid's school) and I really appreciate their ethos, as well as the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Thank you!

My son's class took a field trip here and it was absolutely wonderful.

All of the kids had a blast and were so excited to bring home their creations. I definitely plan to be back both to drop off materials as well as to do some crafting together as a family. No mess at home is a huge plus, and it's eco-friendly. I also heard they have day camps when school is closed.

(We painted the surf shack at Windnsea.) And It's really affordable - $35 includes everything. Paint, canvas, hors d'oeuvres... EVERYTHING! (Other places in the area aren't all inclusive.) It's a really fun night and something different to do in San Diego. For either a girls night out, date night, private party or group outing like we did, I highly recommend it!

All the paint brushes, paint, canvas and easel were all set up for us at individual stations in our office. Our instructor was great and guided us through step by step on the painting.

Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun night out!

I absolutely love this art class!…read more From the moment I started attending, I felt welcomed into a warm and creative environment. The atmosphere is always positive, inspiring, and full of energy that makes learning art so enjoyable. Every class feels like a fun and relaxing experience where I can truly express myself. The staff members are all amazing, kind, and always willing to help whenever anyone needs guidance. They create a supportive space where students of all levels can feel comfortable and confident. A special thank you goes to Ms. Evelina, who truly makes the biggest difference in every class. She is incredibly patient, encouraging, and always takes the time to help each student improve their artistic skills. You can really tell that she cares deeply about her students and is passionate about teaching art in a meaningful way. I always look forward to coming here, and I am so grateful for everything I have learned. * Chloe Yousefian

This art studio is truly phenomenal and I have so much appreciation for all the little details they…read moreimplement to make this studio a happy place for so many growing artists! I toured a few other studios in the foothills area and there were many differentiating factors to note. I toured another place next to the coffee shop I frequent daily and while it would have been convenient for me to enroll my kids in that art studio, I shadowed the class and knew it would not allow my children to explore their creativity as all students were doing the same exact art and not exploring with different mediums. This art studio is very large with various areas exploring different mediums of art. You have kids doing paper mache, experimenting with clay and pottery, paint, water color, sketching, other arts and crafts....the list goes on! I love when they are playing music in the background - I think it helps the kids find their rhythm. All the staff are remarkable and SO great with kids! They have a very well organized art gallery every year and it is something we look forward to attending. My son has been coming here for a year and a half and my daughter started today! I know it says age 6 and up online but both my kids started under age 6 and have been doing great! My son even made his own space inspired Dr. Seuss book! The staff print out photos my son likes (of all things space) and then they work on things that inspire him. I am so happy my daughter will be starting here, too. I think art is a great way for kids to be creative and use their imagination.

Months later i was scrambling for mothers day not knowing what to gift my mom. I didn't just want to gift her anything as she already has a lot of things and hates clutter but i also didn't want to get her something meaningless. This was the perfect gift. Different, and unique, and thoughtful. My mom absolutely loved the family portrait i commissioned from Ylenia and now it hangs in her home office :) Thank you ylenia !

I…read morehad always wanted to try it and with a discount code they offered through Groupon it was reasonably priced (I forget exactly how much but maybe around $25). There were about 15 of us painters present and while I did not purchase anything to drink there, I still had a great time. I painted simple succulents and the teacher was gracious and patient with us. I have also had another experience with Yaymaker while I was on vaca in Temecula - they canceled on me which was frustrating but they responded to my email quickly to refund me instead of giving me online credit which I was grateful for. I would recommend Yaymaker for your next outing/event! Have fun!

Okay. We had a fun time painting but felt a little advanced for beginners. I booked a group of 12…read moreand did it in sections of 1+3 as they advertise to get the refund for one person. When booking I told all 12 individuals about the promotion and would refund the amount to all we received back. So, have received nothing back from them. There are a few caveats to that promotion. Supposedly the refund occurs the day after the class. It hasn't. Secondly, it is only 1 refund even though you've booked 1+3 three times. I'm assuming if your email is used it's their excuse not to have to refund you. Then, if you book all 4 together, it's another excuse not to give you the refund. So, we're actively looking for someone else to do our paint classes. It won't be Yaymaker.
