We planned our annual girls' weekend, and this year was in Pajaro Dunes. Our superstar planning…read morecoordinator suggested a couple of activities for us to do, and it was unanimous we do the Sand Dollar Paint and Sip in Santa Cruz. This was all of our first time, and we really enjoyed it from beginning to end. We had a blast! Not only do they provide wine and snacks but you can also bring your own which we did. There were several tables with each canvas on an easel with the pattern penciled on the canvas. You get a palette of different colors and a water bowl to rinse your brush. You are offered to use additional brushes if you choose. When you're done with your masterpiece, you may add embellishments such as glitter to seashells. Kimberly was fantastic! She was very welcoming when we came in. She lead the class with lightheartedness and humor. She encouraged you to be creative. She showed us how to blend the colors to produce different hues. For some of us, we were challenged, but we did it! It was so much fun! I highly recommend checking out The Painted Cork. Thanks, Kimberly!!

Kimberly, who runs the classes, is not only incredibly kind and welcoming, but also so talented and patient. She makes everyone, no matter their experience level, feel comfortable and confident in what they're creating. I've done several classes here, including a resin art class, a resin coaster workshop, and a holiday ornament painting session. Each class has been unique, fun, and thoughtfully guided. Kimberly provides all the materials and walks you through each step, making the process easy to follow and so rewarding. The atmosphere is always relaxed, creative, and filled with great conversation. It's such a refreshing way to unwind, learn something new, and leave with a piece of art you're proud of. I'm already looking forward to coming back for another class--this space truly brings joy, and I can't recommend it enough!

super cute art store in the heart of capitola…read more.. my friends and i stopped by en route to the beach and loved what we saw here, lots of custom greeting cards, paintings by local artists, mugs, jewelry and clothing branded with capitola. some of the actual artwork was very unique, symbols and things that i hadn't seen in other art stores. the ladies working there were super sweet, very friendly. hours are a little limited though, they only open wednesday - sunday, 11.00-17.00 (closed on monday & tuesday). as far as parking, there is limited street parking, but your best bet is to park in the city parking lot about a block away.

This is locally owned art and gifty store extremely very close to the capitola esplande…read more Parking is street only, but there is a large surface lot just behind the police station not even a block away, and the beach related esplanade parking is an easy walk. This is a smaller space and the owner focuses on craft artists who are in capitola or very close by which results in a diverse, unique and high quality stock. They have handmade jewelry it's true, but also a fair amount of clothing, clutches, bags, soaps, perfume, home decor stuff candles, and art. Pricing can be on the higher side, but then it typically is for artisan handmade items. Generally speaking the owner is either present or somewhere nearby at all time that the store is open. Overall this is a perfect spot to find that unique gift (for yourself or others)that will really show you put thought into what you are buying.
