It was so enjoyable and easy to participate. This would be a great venue to have a party or an event for all different ages or occasions. I really enjoyed learning about their business and seeing all the different options they offer. They were so welcoming and we were served wine and a very nice charcuterie tray. I will recommend this business to friends for future occasions

You can decorate your phone case, you can make charm bracelet or a coaster. This place is loved by kids and adults. We have attended a few birthday parties here already as well as just stopped by to create something small like a keychain. Highly recommend to check this place out!

Outstanding service & beautiful custom framing…read more Rob at Michael's Custom Framing truly went above and beyond for us. From the moment we walked in, he took the time to understand exactly what we were hoping to create and offered thoughtful suggestions that made the final piece even better than we imagined. He helped us design a beautiful piece, paying close attention to every detail--from matting and color choices to the overall presentation. His eye for design, patience, and genuine care for the project really stood out. You can tell he takes pride in his work and wants every customer to walk away happy. The finished piece is absolutely stunning, and we couldn't be more pleased. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, creative, and truly dedicated to great results, ask for Rob. Highly recommend!

First a little story, and then the review of Michaels. Years ago, I starred in two movies and had…read morethe posters ready to frame and about three weeks ago out of a box I found T-shirts that they used to give to the actors on the movies. So I went into Michael's with my "Grand Theft Auto" T-shirt. (yes there was a movie before the game.) and my "Fish that saved Pittsburgh" that starred Julius Irving or Dr. J and I thought to myself the T-shirts mean more than the posters so I went into Michael's and they did a really nice job and it really takes me back to when I did those movies I would recommend Michaels for custom framing. Good service a little slow and a little expensive but in the end for me, it's my history.

I was sold after previewing a few of the photos on the website- handmade candles, trinket bowls made with CA sand, and beautiful jewelry. The shop had everything I had seen online and so much more! Friendly service, high-quality items, and a great variety. Beautiful vibes! And now that I've read more about their mission of supporting local artists and non-profits, I love them even more

They support local artists and really care about supporting the local art scene so when you walking down 101, make sure you stop in here! The owner, Cindy, is a fascinating, wonderful woman. It took me three tries to get to the store but when I got there and she was about to close, she stayed longer to make sure I could check out the entire store. They have everything from jewelry to photography to canvases and clothing. Anything you can think of, you should check it out! I really loved this place and would definitely bring my friends and families there!

You pick out the unfinished piece you want, gather your paint and supplies from the shelf, and then spend a couple hours painting them and turn them in for final firing. The pieces are priced reasonably -- it includes all supplies and the final firing. My friend chose a mug that holds a cookie on the bottom and decided to transform it into a likeness of her pug dog-- see the photo... Mine was much more tame-- I picked out a small geometric vase and ended up painting it an ombre shade of an earthy purple. We sat and enjoyed the experience and they offer a concierge type service-- they cleaned up everything for us! Very chill and fun evening- will do again .

The customer…read moreservice the day of our painting session was fantastic as well as the day we picked up our finished pieces . The available pottery options may not always be available. The selection was low the day we painted, but on the day we picked up the selection was plenty with well stocked shelves. Brushes and cups of water are already neatly set up at the tables. The only thing you have to do is get your paint in the bottled containers. Little hands may need assistance with this or leave it to the adults to prep the paint dish. I really like the space in the Art Cafe. There is plenty of room between each table. It may be different with more customers (we were the only ones on this weekday visit). But even then, I think there is more plenty of space you don't have to worry bumping into someone. I find all ceramic cafes to be a bit pricey but this is something to do once in awhile. I find it therapeutic and I love to watch the kids paint and be creative with their piece. Great bonding time with someone or good, quiet creative time for just yourself. Go check them out.

My friend and I randomly stumbled upon this place while wandering around Carlsbad Village and…read morehonestly it was such a vibe! Super fun and lowkey therapeutic which was exactly what we needed. The staff were awesome, super friendly, and walked us through everything step by step. We got to pick our own vessels and scents which was honestly the best part. I mixed mango coconut and pineapple together and it smelled so good! We threw some glitter into the soy wax mix because obviously we had to and we even got to design our own labels which turned out so cute. The candle needed an hour to cool so we went off and explored the area and then came back to top them off with some stones. They turned out so pretty omg! The price was worth it! Oh and since I was giving mine as a gift one of the staff members tied a little ribbon on my bag without me even asking which was such a sweet touch. If you're looking for something fun and a little different to do you have to check this place out!!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It takes about an hour for it to dry, and they hold it for you so you can pick it up later. I recommend grabbing lunch nearby and walking around. It's a beautiful area where you can walk to the beach and enjoy some tasty food. The staff recommends waiting two days before lighting the candle. They were super helpful, and while it cost a bit more, it makes sense for the area. It was a great experience overall, and the staff was really nice. I also wanted to mention that I forgot my Stanley cup, and they were kind enough to hold it for me until I picked it up.

I chose a small sushi plate ($38) and ended up spending 3 hours choosing the colors, chatting and painting. The employees mostly leave you be (which I appreciate) and are super knowledgeable about the process if you have any questions. After you're done, drop off the item with the employee to fire up your items and you should get a call around 3-5 days later. Overall a pleasant experience and place to hangout and chill with your buddies.

The workspaces and glaze area were not as clean as I've seen at other spaces but it worked nonetheless. The selection of pottery was just okay as they had a lot of seasonal items still (holiday, halloween etc). I wanted to paint a plain mug but they didn't have any drink ware so I opted for this plain bowl. The bowl was about the size of a small rice or soup bowl but priced at $39. I know this includes the glaze and firing process but wow it's pricey! For larger or more intricate products it easily went up to $50-$60.
