They provide several different size brushes and have a great selection of colors to choose from. The inside is also spacious and open which makes the experience more pleasant. Only downside is that it takes 7 days to pick up the ceramic and their items are a bit on the pricier side. We painted a small ice cream bowl and that was $36. Overall though, will definitely be coming back again!

I don't think they have enough room to fit everyone comfortably. Since one table is filled, everyone is sitting with one chair or two in between. This leaves people to succumb sitting in the middle of strangers. Who wants to sit in the middle of strangers? Do you want them to hear your conversation too? Not me! For two paintings (depicted) it costed $70 total. I thought this was pricy just for two. There was only one worker working a full birthday party, giving everyone their paint, cutting the cake, etc. I thought this was pretty understaffed for the amount of people. All in all, it was a fun and chill time despite the price and claustrophobia.

They have gorgeous wall art and fun trinkets for the backyard and garden. Need art supplies? They've got you covered. Honestly, they have things that I didn't even know existed.

Art and People Glass is essentially a water pipe store that also sells jewelry, BUT it is NOT your typical head shop. The store was light, bright and clean. The sales people were clear-eyed, smart and knowledgeable. A guy named Sam patiently walked me through their inventory and explained everything. I am embarrassed to say even though I am in my 70's there is a definite gap in my education. Even if you don't 'smoke' this place is definitely worth a visit just to look at the beautiful glass art.

i was stuck in traffic on the el camino in san mateo the other day i looked over and saw this shop…read morethat looked pretty new it had lights in the windows and i could see some bongs in the front. As i was looking in the guy behind the counter waved at me which seemed a little strange(i wasn't used to smoke shop employees being friendly) i didn't have anywhere to be so i hung a u turn and parked in front of the shop as i was getting out i saw a sign that said BUY ONE GET ONE FREE which i was used to seeing at burger king not a smoke shop!!. walking in to the shop was a completely different experience to what i was used to (like most people from san mateo I've grown up going to the cave which meant customer service was kind of wishful thinking and since they were pretty much the only game in town the prices were hella high) the guy behind the counter introduced himself as Sam and asked if it was my first time in there. I said it was and he proceeded to give me a tour of the shop from a variety of scientific bongs to colorful pipes and even some beautiful animal pipes(i couldn't tell they were pipes until he showed me) they have a great selection of concentrate pieces including a few things only they make. It blew me away that not only did they make everything in the shop but that it was all made locally!!! To make the shop even cooler they have hand carved wooden pipes hanging from the walls. The prices were....idk how to say this but ive never seen such low prices for such high quality I even asked if the tags were a misprint. Sam just laughed and said his boss was a little crazzy but that they believed if the customer was happy then so would they. Sam was really chill and talked me through the whole selection including some pretty complicated perculator systems. He even let me test out a bong i liked using a vapor pen to give me the full feeling, I've never had that happen in a smoke shop before and it was sick!!!! He helped me sign up for their mailing list which also entered me in a monthly contest for a free piece from the shop. I found a cool little turtle pipe and with the buy one get one free i also got a really cool glass sherlock holmes pipe!! the whole transaction only cost me $45!!! Even after i was done buying things i stayed in the shop for another half an hour just talking to sam about tattoos and art he was more interested in being friends than just taking my money. its safe to say this is my shop from now on thank you ART&PEOPLE you guys rock!!!!!

It feels like most places have forgotten the lost art of "customer service", which to me, really just means showing deep care for your customers. Rose was absolutely AMAZING.

She didn't rush me or get frustrated when I asked for something 10 different ways. It was refreshing to feel like someone still really loved their work and loved helping people.

The frame is about 6 inches in size and replacing the glass would be a custom job that would cost about $200.00 from a framing shop. I tried Michael's as well but they also said no, it was a custom design. I wanted to replace the frame cover with Plexiglass for safety and durability and a glass job was too expensive. Home Depot does cut sheets of Plexiglass to size but nothing custom in design. I contacted TAP Plastics in San Mateo and they told me they could do the job in Plexiglass and a small job like that could be done in a few minutes. I brought my frame to them and within 20 minutes I had a custom cut piece of Plexiglass that fit perfectly. The best part is - it cost me $16.55 to get it done. The staff there is super friendly and helpful. Jameson did a great job for me and I can't thank him enough. It's a small job but it meant so much to me. I would use these guys again if I am ever in need of a custom job like this. Thanks Again TAP Plastics you guys are the Best!
