When I first saw Sue's work at a charity peace project fundraiser I was instantly drawn to the…read moreimages she creates. I spoke to her about her medium and the way she works. Her art can be seen on facebook and I recall a little video she posted once showing her process. Sue is a very gracious person...kind, patient and very talented. She answered my many questions patiently. It's now been a couple of years and I have three pieces of her art in my home. I find her prices to be reasonable and her work serves to add a certain charm to the home and projects calm and color exquisitely.

It really takes you back to being a kid again...when you got to do art projects at school especially when you attend the class with a friend. We just drank glass after glass of wine and got silly.

Every class I have taken has been extremely well priced for the value received. To date, their classes have helped me to forge two letter openers, several chopsticks, a few different knifes, and a couple of bottle openers. Their safety class enabled me to attend open forge times, which I plan to do as often as possible.

The instructor was knowledgeable and patient which is kind of what you want around fire hot enough to bend metal. The process takes speed, strength, and precision. All crafts highlight a body, mind, spirit, locus in our human experience. You have to summon a portion of courage to stand next to a forge and grab red hot metal. In other words, it's a great way to practice badassery. Look at my knife(letter opener)!

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!

I can't stop blushing…read more The Artful Bachelorette is an unique concept that specializes in bachelorette parties, birthday parties, etc. We celebrated my good friend's birthday this past weekend with a quick getaway to West Hollywood. Part of the trip included an activation by the Artful Bachelorette, a scandalizing crash course on drawing men in the nude. Their lovely team brings all the supplies, a fully nude model (hey, Oscar!) and provides guidance on drawing the male physique. There's two easy-to-follow rules: no touching and no photos. Once we got over the giggling, the afternoon went so smoothly. Over a two-hour period, we drank mimosas, ate cake, and got to know Oscar on a very personal level. Fortunately for us (and our champagne buzz) no artistic talent is necessary to enjoy this activity! The experience is very immersive with simple step by step instructions. Their team created a number of exercises and fun surprises to keep the group laughing and engaged. This would be a great alternative to anyone who finds strippers to be a bit too raunchy. The experience was classy, fun, and laughable. Despite not knowing many of the girls prior to our trip, we all left feeling bonded by alcohol and nudity.

Had the best time. Such a fun idea and the team couldn't have been more communicative and…read moreAMAZING!!!!
