The owner's dog is also super sweet. I painted a pottery, didn't make it from scratch but picked the unpainted one from the shelf and paint it. They have special colors that can make very pretty texture and requires no skill whatsoever. It's very relaxing and fun. They'll fire it for you in 1-2 weeks, then send a text for pick-up. It's a long drive from me but the pottery I got is really worth it!

She sets up the workshop with just the right amount of guidance and really creates a space for play. I really enjoyed creating layered pieces with organic lines and woven details. After the Zoom, my partner and I continued to create collages late into the evening-it was so much fun! Agnes is both highly creative and organized. I'd highly recommend her workshops!

Agnes did a great job guiding us and at the same time leaving us the space to create. We surprised ourselves with our creations - including colorful fans and small zippered bags. It was also an interesting way to discover our personalities. My husband was more focused and ready to implement, while I tended to overthink and take my time. I would highly recommend Agnes' workshops to all types of individuals and organizations. She is incredibly talented and professional.

He seemed extremely passionate in what he does! Giving a low rating just because of our experience with front desk staff. We come in super cordial just to be met with stank attitudes. A few weeks after our session, we called the place to follow up on our pieces and the woman on the phone sounded rude about us asking about it. We went to pick up our pieces recently and the woman at the front desk definitely sounded like the one we talked to on the phone, same voice and same unwelcoming attitude. As if our presence ruined her day or us picking up our pieces was such a drastic request for her to do.

Your $180 monthly membership does not include firing you glazed piece (that cast extra) and you will need to give a 30 day notice ( even though you will not be using the membership at all like in my case where I am unable to). I broke my finger 2 days after I started, so I could not use this membership for weeks in the beginning but did not complain. This was my problem. But... all together I have used the facility one time and then had personal issues that prevents me from using it now. I did not see the 30 day notice and am paying because I did sign it. It seems much like grifting. There is no downside for the studio (not using equipment so no wear and tear) except the loss of my monthly payment. Perhaps this sounds like sour grapes but I truly do not understand this extra month of payment besides they must think they need my money worse than I do.

VEFA is one of the most exciting additions to the Los Angeles art scene and a true cultural gem in…read morethe South Bay. Located on Hawthorne Boulevard, this innovative gallery has created a space where emerging talent and internationally established artists are celebrated side by side. Every visit offers something extraordinary. I've had the opportunity to meet remarkable artists, including Andy Scott, the sculptor and designer of The Kelpies, Scotland's magnificent monumental horse-head sculptures. I've also met acclaimed street artists such as Rick Rock, along with artists from around the world whose work spans an impressive range of styles and genres. VEFA is far more than an art gallery--it's a complete artistic experience. The gallery seamlessly weaves together fine art with exceptional food, music, and dance, creating unforgettable evenings. One of the highlights was a spectacular Salvador Dalí-themed dinner, featuring recipes created by Salvador Dalí himself. It was imaginative, immersive, and unlike anything else I've experienced. The venue is magnificent. Housed in a beautifully transformed building that began life as a bank and later served as a doctor's office, the architecture has been reinvented into a vibrant, contemporary gallery. Even the restrooms are works of art and worth seeing on their own. The current exhibitions feature outstanding fine artists, including Michael Dargas, Alexandra Manukyan, Rino Gonzalez, and my personal favorite, Kenya Verse. The quality of the artwork is exceptional, and every exhibition demonstrates VEFA's commitment to presenting museum-quality fine art. VEFA also champions artists, providing opportunities for both rising and established talent while fostering a welcoming community for collectors, art lovers, and creatives alike. Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply someone who appreciates beauty and creativity, VEFA is a destination not to be missed. It is bold, imaginative, beautifully curated, and has become one of Southern California's premier destinations for contemporary fine art.

The space is beautifully curated, modern, and inviting while still feeling intimate and intentional. The artwork is exceptional. Every exhibition feels thoughtfully put together and showcases artists with real depth and meaning behind their work. You can tell the team genuinely cares about what they present. Whether you are a first time buyer or an experienced collector, they take the time to educate you and make the experience feel comfortable and exciting without any pressure. The professionalism is also on another level. They communicate clearly, handle logistics smoothly, and make the entire process seamless. Buying art here feels elevated and inspiring. If you are serious about collecting or even just starting your journey, VEFA Gallery is absolutely a place you should visit. It is a great place to buy art and a space that truly respects both the artists and the collectors.

For several months now, my silver triskellion pendant has been snagging on my clothing, hair, anything that gets too close. It was bent and cracking, the damage was enough that I feared it would break the next time I snagged it. I've had it for almost twenty years and I rarely ever remove it, it's a special piece that's a part of me. So, I took it down to Emilio and he took a look at it. He explained the process of how would "perform surgery" and sauter and file to repair the damage. I appreciate his eagerness to share and educate his clients, he is very personable! Within a week he was able to make my pendant look beautiful again. With silver repair, nothing will ever quite be like it was when it was new, but Emilio did a great job making it come close. He polished it and made it rounded again. I'm so happy to have it back in good shape, strong and shiny. I wish I had taken a better "before" photo to illustrate just how much better and stronger it is now. The man does fabulous work. Thank you, Emilio.
