When we checked during the camp, she was on the couch on cell phone. At the end my granddaughter spent a lot of time made a beautiful bracelet for Xmas, asked Marlow to tie it, she said she could not do it cuz of her long nails. I tried it not knowing what to do, all the beads came off all over the floor! My granddaughter was in disbelief and tears in her eyes. I felt very bad, but it was pick up time no time for her to make another one. For the 5 year old to leave with broken heart was not nice at all. The 7 year old tied his own bracelet but it all came apart in the car. For $99 per kid I paid almost $200, definitely was not cheap. Why can the teacher help the younger ones tying the bracelets? The beautiful long nails maybe more useful as a receptionist or secretary. I was more than disappointed!

The holy grail of pottery…read more While I haven't attended a class at Costa Mesa Ceramics just yet, I visited their storefront for a pop-up artist showcase. They used both the indoor rooms and the back patio space to highlight their students work, as well as other local creators. There was a huge selection of handcrafted mugs, bowls, jewelry dishes creative knick-knacks, and more. There was a selection of other handmade art, including jewelry, leather, and screen printed goodies. I loved that they brought in a coffee and taco vendor, keeping attendees well fed and happy. I ended up purchasing a number of items, including the most beautiful ceramic chime to hang outside. Overly impressed by this little pottery store, would love to return for a future hands on class.

Initially thought it was…read morea bit pricy but it was really worth it considering you get six additional passes to come in for practice and those aren't limited to two hours! I really took the class because I thought it'll be fun but after finishing I have a new respect for pottery and the process it takes to make each piece. The beginner's course is a fantastic way to learn step by step how to throw and the whole process of completing a finished piece. You also get to see where everything is in the studio and all the tools are provided!

They allowed outside food and cake to be brought in. You can also decorate the room too, but if not they will have it ready for you with their decorations. They also helped with clean up afterward as well. We booked everything online and was later contacted by staff and was emailed all information regarding what to expect and pretty much everything you need to know. You get to pick the theme for the painting portion. They provide all materials for the kids and set up everything. It doesn't get any easier to be honest. The staff was attentive and so sweet throughout the process. I highly recommend if you're looking to book a celebration for your little artist and their special friends.

My 4 year old daughter loves art. She will sit and paint for hours at a time…read more Because of her interest, I researched art academies in our area and found Fibo. I had no prior experience with Fibo. All I knew is they offered a free class and I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out. Well, she absolutely LOVED it. She was smiling from ear to ear the entire class. When she finished she came right up to me and asked when she could go again. For my child, FIBO is a perfect fit. However, I think it all depends on your child's personality. Is he/she able to sit and listen for an hour and follow direction? Does he/she have an interest in art and a desire to learn new styles & techniques? This is a true art school, in that your child is learning the foundations, new mediums and art history. This isn't a place for a four year old to "express their creativity". For example, if the project is a brown turkey, every child is learning how to paint a brown turkey.... not a pink, yellow, etc turkey. It's about following directions, learning how to use a paintbrush properly, mixing colors, etc. I highly recommend FIBO!

The stock including Christina were amazing they were very observant always making sure that the kids were engaged and the minute they look to board or distracted it and they switched to another medium for the artwork. A great, casual environment - time to socialize with new folks and share amazing memories with your babe. All the instructions post-class are very clear and the art they produced from my littles work was amazing! When a friend bought his art, he got $$ paid! Although the art is expensive, it goes to such a great cause...that you selected! Highly recommend this for the experience and overall giving back concept.

I spoke to Alison and explained to her the limitations he had and how badly he needed to be out of this isolation. Without hesitation she designed a one on one with Charlie during a time when no one else was in the shop. He was able to quietly work on 3 projects at his pace and take breaks as needed. During the project she took the time to teach Charlie about the scientific background behind the ingredients and explored different ways to create slime. This truly was the first time I had seen Charlie light up in 3 weeks. What a gem! How wonderful to know they are there down the street. I will be back for sure!!

Jeniece hosted a paint and sip event I did for my corporate team at Art + Soul…read more The process was incredibly smooth and easy -- we set up the event over email, she sent over a link for checkout, and we were good to go. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling and working with me on the event planning. The location was easy to get to in Newport and the studio itself had the perfect amount of space for my group of 7 people. Be aware that you will have to pay for parking, but it's relatively inexpensive and done via app. During the event itself, Jeniece was patient and made jokes which we were very grateful for given that many of us hadn't painted or attempted visual art since high school. She provided the final product options and we voted on which we'd all complete. She was very attentive in the lesson -- she both demonstrated and walked around the class to see how we were progressing. She was incredibly positive with her feedback. I would recommend Jeniece and Art + Soul to anyone doing a work team event. Her flexibility and positivity were exactly what we needed!
