    I was so grateful to come across Twirl as a venue for my son's second birthday! I was worried about the February weather and needed an indoor venue. I reached out to Twirl and they thankfully had availability at their Whimsy Willow location. Duponte was amazing through-out the planning process and communications were very thorough and prompt. He as well as Emma and Bella were very helpful with the day-of with decor as well as keeping everyone entertained! Our son and all of our guests had a wonderful time! I highly recommend this venue!

    We had the great fortune of having our son's 5th birthday party at the Twirl location on Willow Street ("Whimsy Willow") on 11/29. DuPonte coordinated the entire event, and was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was extremely accommodating, especially since the party was held the day after Thanksgiving. DuPonte went above and beyond to ensure our son had his dream party. The location is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for active and creative children. DuPonte and his staff managed everything (other than the food, which we brought) so that my husband and I could relax and hang out with the adults. There were loads of arts and craft activities available for free play, and the kids had access to multiple rooms throughout the house for all types of play. Toys and books galore, available for all age groups. We had a guided art project outside led by a very sweet art teacher- to make thanksgiving birdhouse/castles. The kids had a blast. The bonus about this space is all of the outdoor play available- including a pretty epic playground area, as well as a play area for the younger kids. I was pleasantly surprised by how little I had to manage, and by how much fun everyone had. We didn't have to clean anything up, and DuPonte helped us pack up all our stuff at the end of the party. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

    Parenthoods hosted a free playdate at Twirl this past week, so I decided to give this play space another try. I was glad I did, as my son and I had a much more fulfilling experience now that he is almost 17 months old. I noticed the variety of play options (some appeared new from my last visit)- such as a rock climbing wall, dress up section, train tables, reading and puzzle corner, car and/or ball drop and maze, hanging chair, slide, and my son's personal favorite - the kitchen and marketplace. Now that he is older, he is allowed in the art section, which we found fun and inviting. They had numerous art stations, such as painting, play doh, watercolors, and crafts (diy rainbow, diy leprechaun binoculars, and more.) Although I hate spending more than $10 at play spaces, Twirl does pack a lot in, which makes the admission fee worthwhile. We look forward to our next visit!

    At least 20 crafting/play areas!

First time, taking any class at the Alameda Art Lab but not a newbie to mosaics or the arts.

All supplies of cutters, nippers, stepping stone and glass provided with a quick introduction to using the tools with some guidance and instruction to start your art piece. JaYing, the friendly and patient owner/instructor will walk around to assist if needed, check your progress and guide you to ensure you get your item complete.

Others finish a project and move on to the next in a session or two. The perfect thing is that this is at your own pace, with guidance and education from Anita. I'm learning to appreciate the time and intention that goes into a creating a work. And I find the time relaxing and meditative...it's a wonderful change of pace from my day-to-day work. Give this a go - you won't be disappointed!

We landed on ceramics and it was so fun! Jo was so kind given our short notice. Other places couldn't accommodate us because of the later time we needed (6-8pm), they don't do private events and it was simply too short of notice. Jo was able to make our dreams come true given all these factors and was so kind and chill about them! I asked if we could bring some light drinks and bites, and not only was it a yes, she actually provided the champagne flutes!! So easy to work with her. So we get there yesterday and Denise was our instructor. She greeted us, let us settle in and just had the best of vibes. Once we were ready to start, she explained very thoroughly what to do. I'll be honest, I was really bad! Like in the 1.5 hours we got to make stuff, my friends used probably 1-2 clay balls while I got close to 10 bc I just kept failing! Denise was so supportive though and tried to help without hovering or taking over. I never felt judged or like I was frustrating her, even though, wow, I was like such a toddler about it! I wasn't able to make myself anything, but she made me a bowl and I just thought that was so kind and sweet of her. She's really funny and so good at what she does, both creating ceramics and teaching it! I don't have all of their packages memorized, but it's very clear on the website. We did the private for 4 people and added 1 person. 2 hours and you can make whatever and however many you want. It was $465 total and so worth it! You get to choose your glaze, which are all gorgeous options, and it will be ready in 4 weeks. I loved this experience and even though I struggled, I would do it again, especially at Clay Clubhouse. I recommend wearing clothes you don't care about or bringing an apron or baggy tee you don't mind getting splashy. There's a really cute Mexican place next door. We didn't go because it was packed but you'll probably have the best night doing some ceramics and then celebrating at Bombera! Go do this, have so much fun, get messy, support local artsy businesses and enjoy!

I'm a total self-starter, but but eventually I needed someone to walk me through the hard things, explain techniques they've learned by applying them directly to my garments, and help me understand why a particular method works for a particular fabric or design. I was nervous walking into my first class. I worried I wouldn't fit in or I would feel out of place. That fear disappeared almost immediately. I was warmly welcomed by Christine Knobel, my first instructor, and by the other students. The community here is genuinely kind, diverse, and supportive. Apparently sewists are just really nice people (or at least the ones who come here are). I expected to improve my sewing skills, and I absolutely have, but what surprised me most was how meaningful the community became. In a world where most of my interactions happen through screens, spending time learning alongside real people has been incredibly grounding and joyful. I also love that they offer a fashion studies track, where you can learn from the very beginning, designing a sketch, all the way through creation. The classes are clearly structured to help you grow into a true sewist, not just complete a single project. Plus, they're always adding new classes, which keeps things fresh and exciting.

I was worried I'd struggle because I don't have sketching or design experience, but I love how easy and creative they made it! I'm looking forward to more. Come to The Sewing Room for community, creativity, and knowledge!
