We had our daughter's 6th birthday party at Hot Spot Studio over the weekend, and we were so…read moreimpressed by both the space and the staff. I honestly cannot believe I had never heard of this place before, especially living here in Fremont. The studio is adorable, clean, and very well set up for kids' activities and parties. They offer a lot of fun options, and for our party we chose pottery and slime, which was a huge hit. The full 3 hours went incredibly smoothly. We had a private room for the kids to do their activities, enjoy pizza, and have cake, and everything felt easy and well organized from start to finish. The staff was wonderful and made the whole experience feel seamless. We will definitely be back with our kids.

After waiting for a while an associate comes out and roughly explains what the process is and disappears again- fine by me but I know a fist timer would be pretty confused. The color selection is very poor. They have a row of colors just plain colors, much less than what I've seen other places. The pottery options are also pretty lackluster and pricey for what they are. The positive part of this rating goes to the lovely associate that helped us the first time. She was lovely and kind, but my overall frustration that led me to this overall rating was picking up my pottery today. Again was not very fully and I see a line of people at the front. Cool I get it. But the associate had not a single sense of urgency in her. She just slowwwwwwly walked to the back looked around slowwwwly came back. Once it was my turn she didn't even ask why I was here just stared at me so I told her I was picking up and she asks for a picture of the item..? Wtf? Not even a name phone number or email that they require when dropping off my items but a picture? I had to scroll and find them. Once I show her she's like..ok when were you here? Geez do you want my outfit details that day too? How ridiculous. They need a better sorting system I saw her looking around and several pieces. Then she sloooowwlly comes over to me and dumps my plates on a table nearby and some crumpled bags next to it and just says "ok you can look at them" and leaves to the back again. Frustrated I get my pieces and dip. I don't know if it's because I've been to muuuuch better where they also treat me better. But this place was such a let down. Also picky side note the music they put sucks.

I celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday party here, and unfortunately, the experience was…read moreextremely disappointing. She chose the clay art activity with a "Sea Friends" theme because it sounded creative and exciting for the kids, but the actual experience did not meet expectations at all. There were only three very simple animal designs offered, which was far too limited for a two-hour birthday party and not engaging enough to keep the children interested. The employees assisting with the activity did not appear to be properly trained to host or manage a children's party. Their instructions were unclear, they spoke very softly, and there was little enthusiasm or interaction with the kids. The atmosphere felt dull and unorganized instead of fun and energetic like a birthday celebration should be. Many of the children lost interest quickly because there was no excitement, guidance, or effort to keep them engaged. What was most disappointing was that, despite booking a two-hour party, the actual clay activity lasted only around 40 minutes. After that, there was very little for the kids to do, leaving them bored and restless for most of the remaining time. As a parent spending money to create a memorable milestone birthday for my daughter, I expected a much better-planned and professionally hosted experience. I chose this place hoping it would create happy memories for my daughter and her friends, but instead it turned into a frustrating and disappointing experience for both the kids and the parents attending the party.

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive; they're always quick to provide more paint or offer helpful tips.

You look around and find what you want to paint, pick and choose your colors, brushes and water bowls to clean your brushes. Find a comfortable spot to start and then do it.

This is a co-op gallery or this is how it's explained and I was told it is a collective - hmmm... no difference to me. Regardless - there are about 45 -55 artists being represented here and no one is given ample space to show their work. It looks unappealing and wrong as some of the artist's work is wonderful. It's one thing to tell someone about an artist - it's another thing to demand that I look at certain art, and guide me to art I have no interest in seeing. I wasted time hearing this man's silly, schpeel about why I should be so impressed by him. The man closed the gallery 3 hours early when the hours clearly state that they're open later. Again- he was terribly rude, disrespectful and argumentative for no reason at all. I know service has plummeted since Covid, but this man has no business selling art for others or representing himself at this gallery. Since it's new the peninsula art scene and stanford they should be doing all they can to engender respect and kindness towards patrons. Not arrogance and a total disregard for potential art buyers! There is also too much art crammed into this space. It is a hodgepodge of lovely looking individual artists - stacked one on top of the other - it is not curated nor hung/displayed well. It diminishes the art to cram it in, looking like a poor excuse for a salon style gallery. I feel very sorry for the artists who are being represented here since the man who was manning the gallery was dreadful, nasty and full of himself. He could do no wrong and needs a lesson in customer service and kindness. It would go a long way! Do yourself a favor and do not go here and do not bother showing art here either. There are plenty of wonderful places to display and see art. Not here.

I can't wait to see this piece e with my other two, a hummingbird and crow, gifts I received from my mother who purchased them from Sawsan's shop. Great experience, fun to see the owner's personal collections, favorites, framed art and her personal works she has painted or drawn.
