The movements were so delicate and intentional it allowed my mind to slowly drift into a dreamy space. I was mesmerized by the fluidity and mindfulness of this tea journey. We activated the senses, smelling the aroma of the white tea, tasting the subtle flavors and feeling into the warm sensations while being uplifted by some beautiful mantras giving deep meaning to the year ahead. It was a full embodied experience by witnessing the emotions that arose from each serving of tea. I was blown away by the intimacy of it all and I left feeling a new light glowing inside, ready to honor 2023 fully. Jen was an amazing host of this ceremony, she had very grounded warm energy which I appreciate going into a new experience. I look forward to more in the future. Thank you so much, this experience lives on in my heart space.

Anam-Cre Pottery has been my most visited non-food place in downtown SLO…read more I've done painting pottery here and the workers are so so nice. My partner and i tend to take awhile on painting ours and what they allow is to stay as long as you would like (as long as there is space) or if you still don't finish, you can come back a different day and continue painting! We recently took my partner's family here and everyone enjoyed it. Definitely will be back as they haven't finished theirs!

I had been to a similar place in Durham, NC a year ago and thought it would be so great to see a place like that in Paso. ArtSocial has a great selection of ready to go projects. I chose to paint a small bowl (pics to come if it turns out). I love crafty things, but sometimes my execution isn't the best. Their prices are more than reasonable. The staff was super helpful at explaining the process. Also, shout out to Vinyl Records, Moe's Pizza and our Community Manager Alex for making the even special.

They also were raffling off a book with paintings of popular buildings in SLO. There was even a painting there of the Honeymoon Cafe in Pismo Beach. Also very cool brain installation that was dangling from the ceiling. I think there was a range of costs of paintings since there were also prints for sale.

But I thought for 14.75 you should have gotten more then just 2 tacos. My husband got fish and chips 5 pieces and fries for 19.40. The fish pieces were very small. Although the food tasted ok I think it's way over priced for what you get. That's the price you pay for dining in Cambria.

They have a terrific display of crafts, art, and gift items, mostly from local creators and very supportive of women artists. Every time we have been in there, my wife and I find something we really like. They also host classes and workshops. For us, this is a perfect example of the kind of place we love to support... Small, locally owned, with great ties to the community. oh, and a big plus... The owner is super knowledgeable, kind, helpful. Can't go wrong with that either. As of this writing, November 2022, they are in the process of moving to a new location. So, I encourage you to follow along with the move. We definitely will be!

My husband and I had the…read moreopportunity to create some stained glass air plant terrariums with Lisa's guidance, while my Mother-in-Law made a fused glass bowl. We learned how to cut pieces of glass and add copper tape that we would then solder together into these amazing and functional art pieces. MIL was working on composing her own design using different layers of colored glass that would later be fired and shaped. I'm so impressed with the outcome and how cool her new studio space was. She had all the materials provided to us and made sure we were each getting enough of her time, since she was dividing her attention between three people! Lisa was really cool and made us feel like we were old friends. We enjoyed her company and were grateful she could lend her artistic eye so that our pieces would be visually appealing. I'm so glad we tried this out and I plan on coming back again to try another project. The photos of our new terrariums don't do them justice. Lisa even provided the air plants! Thank you, Lisa and Violet, for introducing us to glass arts and sharing your night with our family. Until next time!

As an art lover, I think Studios on the Park is a MUST VISIT if you're ever in Paso Robles!…read more This is a large space in the downtown area, right in the main park. It is a brightly-lit, high ceiling building that has a collection of artwork (for sale!) from multiple local talents of various mediums. I went in to look, but walked out with 2 multi-media oil painting-newspaper pieces from an artist named Holly whom I even got to meet! It was incredible to get to chat with her about what inspired her to create this kind of work. Then at checkout, my eyeballs deceived me by wandering to some cool glass-blown plant stick decorations that were made from the last Disney glass blower. So, I, of course, *had* to buy a couple of those delightful beauties! Everyone I met there was friendly and welcoming; there is much to look at and much to do there; it is also a place that has many giftable items if you have a birthday or holiday coming up or need some walls to fill. If I had more time, I would have stayed and participated in the self-paced $10 watercolor painting project that was setup in the middle of the hall. Heck, I could be here all day!
