The studio is huge, it's in the back of the Performing Art Center in Escondido. It is difficult to…read morefind, as there is wall and gate surrounding the facility. If you park towards the swimming pool and the train, which is located in "Grape Park" you are very close. Walk across the little bridge and look for the studio signs. Get there 15 minutes early to set up and bring an easel if you wish to stand. The studio has a good temperature, unlike our past locations, placement of "stage" is perfect, black background from drapes makes model have wonderful contrast. Adam is focused and has it together.

I would not recommend the medical assistant program. The admin. class was listed as 4 nights/week…read morein-class instruction and ended up being exclusively on-line with only one Zoom call for an hour per week. The clinical class, also advertised as 4 nights/week for lots of hands on experience, ended up being 3 nights for 1.5-2 hours each. In addition, the class ended a week early even though the class had little time for students to get comfortable with injections and venipuncture. The externship program lacks school support from staff. There is no guarantee of placement, often a long delay between graduation and the externship, and when the career & externship advisor is asked a direct question about anything, her only reply is "to consult the website." The new principal was once quoted as saying "you get what you pay for" when questioned about the shortened hands-on class time. It doesn't seem the staff at EAS is truly interested in helping students achieve a better education and career.

Wendy's way of teaching is far more than just your ordinary "teaching." She goes above and beyond…read more I felt as though I was in a kind of cool spiritual session every time we met for art lessons. She believes in the spiritual aspect of art along with everything else that goes with your "typical" art lessons. I learned lots about colors, values, along with some technical "stuff" that I did not know about. I'm a self-taught artist, always drew using ink, so everything I drew was in black and white. Wendy introduced me to colors one day, by the use of watercolors. At first, I was hesitant, but she simply put the paints and brushes next to me, showed me some brush techniques, and of course shared her knowledge and expertise, and allowed me to explore more or less on my own. And wow! A whole new world of art, and COLOR came flooding into my little black and white world! I still love my ink, but watercolors are right up there. No matter where you are along your journey in art, Wendy is a fantastic teacher/mentor. I promise you, you will learn something.

We had my daughter's birthday party at Collab Crafts in Escondido this past Saturday, and it…read morecouldn't have gone better! From start to finish, Tatiana, the owner, was absolutely wonderful -- so friendly, courteous, and professional. She checked on us throughout the party to make sure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed. The store itself is adorable -- clean, fun, and full of amazing handmade merchandise. It's such a unique spot because not only can you host an amazing party, but your guests can also shop afterward! We did a slime party with their slime partner, and it was such a hit. Each child got to make and take home two slimes, and the entire process was smooth and easy. Every child (and parent!) left smiling with a bag full of goodies. Tatiana even surprised us by putting up a few balloons -- the sweetest touch that made the day even more special. She truly made the whole experience effortless and enjoyable. I can't recommend Collab Crafts enough for any celebration or just a fun day of shopping. Thank you, Tatiana, for making my daughter's birthday an absolute dream come true! ‍

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.

What a great experience it was working with Reza!! I had shopped around with 5 other well rated…read morecompanies before finding Reza. I'm soooo glad I did! My project size was 15 cabinet doors, 3 small drawer boxes, 3 large drawer boxes and one aesthetic drawer face. It's a smaller refacing project since it's a small condo. The lowest quote I received was $5,000 and the highest was $14,000. In terms of pricing, he was on the lower end but not the lowest but considering the quality and customer service it's definitely fair pricing. I was about to move forward with the lowest quote I received but it became clear that responsiveness and customer service were not priorities and I felt very deflated. Then I found Reza and his upbeat, responsive attitude reinvigorated me. Reza is a gem. His quirky personality and his passion and knowledge for his work become evident quickly. He got me samples of the colors I was considering painted on a wood panel and he always replied to me within the hour. Trust the process, go with his flow, tell him what you're looking for and you'll be so happy with the outcome. I'd recommend Reza to anyone I care about.

With tight deadlines and limited availability, we were very selective about choosing someone who could deliver quality work on time. Reza and his team exceeded our expectations in every way. They were professional, punctual, and detail-oriented from start to finish. Not only did they provide precise measurements and clear communication, but they also offered creative solutions tailored to our space. I can't emphasize enough how smoothly the entire project went. Reza and his team went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and that they delivered exactly what they promised--if not more. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality custom cabinetry.
