Whether you are looking for a totally novel experience or to dive headfirst into the addictive world of clay, you will find what you are looking for in this full service pottery studio with super accessible rates and a good variety of clay bodies to work with! The only prerequisite is that you take a class to get the lay of the land and then you are welcome to choose the level of commitment that suits your needs. I love the sense of community we have with all the regulars who come in - it's what's kept me coming back despite no longer living in North County.

Thanks to Brice for a great experience!

She was really flexible with my changing head count and just shared the minimum cost which was around $330. She had me choose what design I wanted to paint in advance too, which was easy! Review - I planned this for my birthday and I had such a fun time. Davina really walks you through the steps in an easy to understand way and shows you how to do each step on her own canvas. It was totally fun and doable for my friends who are not generally crafting people! The studio has great decorations and ambiance, Davina gave us glasses, glow in the dark hair clip, and a hat to take home with us. The final painting is so pretty and glows in the dark. Super recommend, especially for kids, families, friends. COVID - we didn't wear masks but you could wear masks. Davina shared she is vaxxed and boosted.

They setup a…read moreL-shape table and a few staffs standing there teaching the visitors how to make flower with color fabrics. At first, I was standing on the side watching them. It looked very interesting so I decided to sit down and had some fun! One of the staffs, she already started teaching a younger girl (about 12-14 years old) and I sat right next to her . I felt being discriminated by the staff's attitude towards me. I wasn't sure if it was because the younger girl's age or because her parents were with her. For example, the staff would give her very detail instruction and even demonstrated how to do it. When it was my turn, she wasn't really put in effort to teach me. It was my first time learning how to do this too!! When I asked her questions, her reply was, "you can do whatever & be creative....."?? Huh? At least show me how to do it first , once I know it, I can be more creative later. When the younger girl and her parents were ready to leave, she told them about the company and give them a company brochure. I thought now she would have more time to focus on me. I was wrong... she started chatting with another staff about taking lunch break?? I was struggling how to make the fabrics look like "flower"!! I asked her, "I am having hard time making a flower shape???" She said to me, "You will get there eventually.....". Really??? If that is the way she is teaching the class, I will never recommend anyone to go there. When I stood up and ready to leave, she didn't talk about anything about the company or even gave me a brochure. I was very disappointed how different she treated me. I regret that I didn't ask for her name because I think it is important for the business owner, Elena Lai Etcheverty, to know about how her staff treat people differently. All her staffs represent the first impression of the company.

This place is awesome and the staff is fabulous. I adore Libbi…read more There are a few experiences one could encounter with Charity Wings: 1. Art booth or table at another venue. 2. Visiting the art center in San Marcos as an individual or with a group. 3. Coordinating an event. I coordinated an event with them. They have a 6000 square foot warehouse very close to CSUSM on Industrial rd. It's easy to miss. Upon entering I was blown away by the plethora of art supplies. The people who work there will gladly give you a tour, explaining how everything was donated. I met Elena at CSUSM during while she was recruiting volunteers to make "letters of hope" for young women in the hospital with anorexia and for women in homeless shelters. I was intrigued, sat down and made a letter. I asked questions about the charity and I was blown away by the generosity of others. This meeting seemed like it was meant to be. I was planning a fundraiser event and needed a venue. Elena gave me her information and before I knew it I was planning a fun run and art project event with them. I mainly worked with Libbi, as Elena was busy. Libbi was so kind, helpful and was always on the same page as I. Having an event with Charity Wings was a WIN-WIN situation. I planned on charging for my event and had hoped for more in attendance. We didn't end up making any $ to contribute my specific charity, but we did donate to the Charity wings foundation with 25% of our proceeds. With that 25% we had access to the 6000 sq foot warehouse. We made a collaborative art project. We had a large picture and then small papers that each participant could decorate to add to the larger picture. They set out glitter, buttons, feathers, beads and markers to play with. Libbi and a few of the other staff took care of everything inside the warehouse and gave me free reign of the outdoor space, which is HUGE. We had a bounce house and two monitor speakers playing music. Someone participated in the fun run and suffered from heat illness, and they kindly took care of him until he felt better. Libbi is quite motherly. If I ever plan on having another event, I surely will do it here. Again, it's a Win-win situation. Stress free for sure. So for the other experiences, if you have a non-profit organization, you are able to go here and do art for free as a group, simply call ahead and plan your event. For other individuals: $10/hour regular adult, $8/hour student. They also have membership options $5/hour or $20 per day With admission you get access to all art supplies. This is definitely the place to go if you want to try out a new medium. The staff will guide and assist you as much to their knowledge will allow. They have pottery, metal working, paints, scrap booking, ect. They even have artists rental areas... I can't say anything negative about this place. I hope to work with Charity Wings again soon.
