Unfortunately, traffic & parking in Laguna was an absolute nightmare. We took separate cars and spent around 15-30 minutes just looking for parking, so we ended up running pretty late. Our instructor was about to ask us to reschedule since they had another class right after, which was understandable since their email warned us to arrive early. We felt so bad & apologetic especially since some of us drove all the way from SD and LA :') Thankfully, another instructor was kind enough to step in & accommodate our group! Those who arrived earlier were able to make 2 pieces (one on the wheel & the other by hand), while the latecomers only had enough time for 1. Despite the chaotic start, we still had such a fun time & especially enjoyed our second visit where we got to paint/glaze our own pieces! You also have the option to let the staff glaze for you in a solid color, which was convenient for those of us who lived farther away. The entire process took about 1-2 months from our first class to picking up our pottery. The team was also super communicative through email, answering all my questions and keeping me updated on when everything was ready. I know our group didn't make things the easiest for them, so I really appreciate how accommodating and patient the staff was!! Definitely recommend booking a class here, just make sure to give yourself PLENTY of time to find parking lol. Would love to come back :-)

They really should call this little Art Store by the Sea the "Hodge-Podge-Garage Art Lodge!!!" It…read moreis a splendid little mess inside that store! Once you step inside, you will see an assortment of high-end paint knives, and paint brushes, then a wall of highly pigmented, high-end, high priced paints! Oils, acrylics, watercolors - oh my! They carry the best brands!!!! (Call the bank and take out a loan!) I had to buy an Ampersand 16 X 20 " flat gesso board today, and none of the other art stores carry this brand because it is very high-end. One friendly and helpful lady helped to locate the proper canvas for my art class that I'm taking, and they give art students 20% off. Just be sure to tell them you are an art student. I wandered around the store for a long time- ( mortals fall into a deep spell while shopping in this artsy-fartsy place) - and I found unexpected items strewn all over the place. (Is this where the Muse hangs out? I hear this is her secret hiding place!) It made me smile! If you are in need of a purse, or a fashionable necklace to bring to your art class, they have it here. Do you need a painting apron? They have many to choose from. If you need to brew a pot of tea, they have teapots. Do you need to store magic seeds in glass jars? They have a bevy of jars! No two are the same! If tonight is bowling night, they even have a bowling ball in there for you! (not joking!) If you need baskets, they have baskets. If you are in need of an easel, canvases, clay, embroidery thread, pencils, markers and framing - Laguna Art Supply has it all! Does your street need a new stop sign at the corner? They even have a stop sign in that store for sale! It's a kick and a giggle to shop there! Their prices are not low. So bring your piggy bank, and break the bank! This is a fun place to shop. They have the hard-to-find-art-supplies that Michael's and Hobby Lobby don't stock. I love Michael's and Hobby Lobby too, don't get me wrong. They totally ROCK! But for a fun time, drive into Laguna Village, pay the meter and shop until you drop at Laguna Art Supply!!! Peace/LOVE/Art! X O X O X O

We both enjoyed checking out all the booths and artists, with Jen having her favorites and same with me. Loved learning about their passion, especially Sue Thompson and the husband/wife glass blowers. Jen liked the Italian landscapes and nature photos. I picked up a small photo of Jackass Penguins forming a heart for both Jen and I. I felt it symbolized us in a way. The food lines were a bit long, but we did get some green tea that was refreshing on a hot/humid day. We look forward to coming back or at least checking out the local galleries.

If you plan to park in the Sawdust lot, I'd recommend getting there very early. We had no trouble finding parking about an hour before Sawdust opened, then grabbed breakfast nearby. There are also cheaper lots within walking distance. I did find the prices to be very expensive overall. You have to pay to park, to get in, pay for food and drinks, pay for the art, and so on. There was even a tip jar in the very clean bathrooms! I'm not sure if this is because it's an expensive area or just a reflection of the current economy, but I definitely felt like I was being nickel-and-dimed. If you're just going to look around, you can get away with only paying the entry fee and parking. I was disappointed to find that not all of the artists were there, and the policies regarding purchasing art at the front of Sawdust weren't very clear and seemed to vary from booth to booth.

Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience with some of the much older women working in the fabric section and toward the back of this particular store has been very different. I've repeatedly encountered rude and dismissive behavior when asking for basic assistance, whether it was about diamond painting supplies, friendship bracelet thread, or yarn. They often act as though helping a customer is an inconvenience. Quite frankly, there have also been several instances where I felt they were surprised or uncomfortable dealing with a non-white customer, which is especially odd considering the wide variety of people who shop at this location. What makes the contrast even more noticeable is that whenever college-aged employees are working in the back, they are friendly, approachable, and willing to help without any apparent issue. Management should consider additional customer-service and cultural-sensitivity training for the employees in these sections. No customer should feel unwelcome or treated differently simply for asking for help.
