You will find everything that you need in every Christmas color. I LOVE IT HERE. The cons were that the checkout lines went to the back of the store...all of them. There were about 6 checkout lines but it was ridiculously packed here. They may need to expand their store into the old Party City Storefront next door to address the customer base and needs. The only other Hobby Lobby Locations in SD County that I know of are La Mesa and Mira Mesa besides this Chula Vista location. We decided to leave and try to come back another day when it was less crowded. Overall this store had so many great things but the lines were taking 35min to 45+mins to checkout. That is a long time standing.

She was extremely sweet and eager to help. She was working on something but quickly stopped because I had 20 questions. I asked her what her professional prices are for a 6ft and 5ft, though I personally think she's the best in business, she also priced very fair! (I'm coming from NorCal with a few events under my belt) so I'm always trying to learn and master my craft, Claudia was super knowledgeable and helpful. She helped me pick out the colors, gave me some tips, and allowed me to dive into her craft. I left with a mixture of brands that will be perfect for outside. She was honest with my selections and definitely made me feel 100% comfortable with them. I believe her teams a great addition to so much the store has to offer! Will definitely be coming back for everything because with the amount of balloons I got and free game; it's worth the trip. Loved it here!

Alright. I don't know if Jeff is the man or not we didn't get too distracted from the wheel…read more I booked a class at Art Wheel for a weekday afternoon. When I showed up I was pleasantly surprised by the space, and the outdoor studio vibe. I was quickly driven to the various pottery he had laying around. He quickly instructed me and another student on how things would work. We started working on the wheel as he quickly moved through wheel throwing and techniques. I took a beginner class. I'm a true beginner (never done this before) I would NOT recommend his beginner classes to true beginners. It's not something that you can just figure out. And, if the instructor has a lot of experience (as he does) they don't always know how to slow down and or give clear instructions. Nothing against Jeff and his M.O. I simply wouldn't take his class again. I felt ignored in his class. For a long moment he was talking directly to the other student (she had significant more experience than me) and completely disregarding me. You really shouldn't be teaching a beginner class if its easier for you to teach advanced students. We are paying the same amount of money as the advanced students, and you are given them more of your time (when in fact they need less of your time). Sure, your job might be more fun, teaching advanced students. So you have to think about that as a business owner. I had to speak up and say "Hey! You are speaking directly to her, there are two of us here, we paid the same amount of money to be here!" he redirected his approach-ish. Not all artists are good teachers. Not all good teachers are artists (thank god). This instructor is not for me. On a positive note, he has an immense collection of pottery which has been created by him and or left behind by students. I mean this man could open a store. I bought a beautiful bowl that I use daily for my ceremonial matcha. It's so beautiful and I do thank him for that!

The instructor did his best to assist and accommodate all of us, but he is definitely not a people person and wasn't the best instructor. Often times when a student would ask for help, instead of instructing, he would just take over for the student, which would frustrate them, considering we did pay to learn. Jeff informed us that coloring/firing our projects would be a few weeks but we didn't get an email about the projects being ready for pick up until a month later. When I arrived, all of the pieces were shoved into a big bucket and I had to go through the entire bucket and dig for my pieces, which contained pieces from several different dates. When I got to the bottom of the bucket, I noticed pieces that were broken in half! I think it would be helpful if pieces are separated by date and if there is a better system where the pieces or organized piece by piece, and not stacked all over on top of each other. If people aren't careful while digging through the bucket, your pieces could break before you even pick them up! The finish on our pieces are okay, slightly better than expected. But there was white paint all over one of my black pieces. I read from previous reviews that if you wanted to color/fire your pieces, you had to pay $3 each, which is terrible. But, we were able to color/fire 2 pieces that were included, and each extra piece after that was $3, which is completely fair. Overall, I'm happy I made the decision to take this class and would recommend.

This store is in the heart of downtown (zona centro) and it's easy to go right past it if you don't know what you're looking for, so make sure you look at the pictures above to get an idea of how it looks on the outside. The thing I thought was pretty cool, is that they sell clothes from all over the country (for those of you who don't know, almost all states have very different and specific traditional folkloric attires) This is a great place to come if you're buying gifts or souvenirs for anyone.
