What was supposed to be a magical birthday celebration for my daughter at Disneyland got completely rained out. Who came to the rescue? In The Kiln! We scrambled for a last-minute change of plans, and it turned out to be absolutely perfect. They were incredibly accommodating: we hosted the birthday party right in the studio, decorated the space, brought our own food and non-alcoholic drinks, and set up a special designated area for the birthday girl and her friends. Laura and Bob were beyond patient and so helpful with the kids, guiding them every step of the way to make sure everything came out just right. The selection of pottery pieces is huge (overwhelming in the best way) and they even surprised us with a complimentary plate featuring all her friends' little fingerprints. What a thoughtful touch! It was such a fun, creative day, and everyone stayed nice and dry. Highly recommend for families, especially when plans go sideways. read more

This place is beyond amazing!! And the staff is out of this world. I recently hosted my daughter's birthday party there. Laura and Bob were so patient with the kids. They helped them come up with crafty ways to paint their pieces. Children and parents alike all had fun. I definitely would recommended this place for hosting parties. They allow you to bring food and have a good counter space to accommodate it. They even provide a complimentary decorated plate for the birthday kid, customized to fit the occasion. Such a special touch. read more

In The Kiln was such an awesome experience! My family really enjoyed bonding over some relaxing painting, and loved browsing through the literal hundreds of options to personalize. I can't wait until the pieces are fired and ready for pickup so we can see how amazing everything came out. Before we left everyone was already looking for their next piece- I can't wait to return! John was great to guide us through the process and we all really appreciated his expertise and patience. read more

This place was fantastic! We will definitely come back. We had a group of 10 and they were able to accommodate us. Several little ones ages 3-7 and Bob was so kind and patient and helpful with them. I really feel like I should have paid a babysitting fee lol. When he saw they were getting impatient while the adults tried to finish their pieces he stepped right in and helped to keep them entertained. He even gave us a quick tour of the facilities at the end of our visit. Definitely a fun outing and highly recommend this place! read more

This review is LONG OVERDUE! Linda and the whole team did everything in their power to make my wedding dream come true! My husband and I had a Hundred Acre Woods themed wedding, and 6 months before, I thought: could it be possible to paint our "Hunny pots"? I walked in expecting my vision to be too ambitious, however, the team made recommendations that took us on an incredible centerpiece creation journey. Linda ensured we ordered and tested, and experimented with our color pallet and methodology, and she hosted not just one, but two, wonderful centerpiece painting parties for me and my bridesmaids. By the time we were done, we had over 10 gorgeous bespoke centerpieces out on display on our special day, but even more, I could not be more happy to have worked with such a great team, who not only exceeded my expectations, but gave me and my loved ones a wonderful experience to cherish together! Thank you Linda and team! I'm looking forward to return back soon read more

Was looking for somewhere to entertain my kids for an afternoon & found this place online. We booked online for a 2hr Sat session. The owner was super nice and showed us around. He gave us tips and showed my kid this special technique for painting his owl every step of the way. He's so patient & friendly. We even got a tour of their backstage area where they mix the clay, make the pieces & the kiln. We went back & got our finished product the next week & the kids ended up picking something else to work on. It's a bit pricy but Bob made it all worth it. Owner said they are only open on weekends now since Covid hit them pretty bad. Hope they'll be open more when things gets better. I know I'll end up back here all the time since my kids enjoyed this so much. read more

Such a nice welcoming! We arrived there around 8pm and they close at 9; He didn't make us feel rushed, gave us a full disclosure on the options and steps in the process. It's in a very cute and non-crowded location. I took my niece here for the first time and she had the best time. The kind man who worked there even asked us (right before they were about to close) if we'd like to see the backroom and we were like hell yh! He gave us a mini tour to the back and explained to us this different kind of clay. He gave us way more than what we expected. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back! read more

I brought my 5 year old and 3 year old here to paint Christmas ornaments for our tree. We came in the middle of the afternoon and we were the only ones there. The staff was wonderful. As a whole, having kids this age around a ton of fragile breakable products is a terrible idea, but the staff was easy going and didn't flinch like I did every time the kids touched something. The girl assisting us was very patient and accommodating. She explained in terms the girls could understand. She brought out samples for them to be able to visualize different painting techniques. She filled the girls pallets full with every single color on the planet that they requested-and then another couple full pallets because they wanted ALL the colors. Then another pallet with paints that had sparkles in it. Mind you these kids are painting a 4 inch Christmas ornament. The girls haphazardly start slapping paint on and then realize they should have done a nicer job painting and started freaking out. The girl helping us came to the rescue and was able to wash off their paint so they could start anew. The only thing I wished was different was the facility did not call to notify us the ornaments were done. They said they normally do, but I'm assuming they were pretty busy during the Christmas season. The ornaments came out much nicer than I anticipated!! This is definitely going to become a yearly tradition for us. read more

Great people and wonderful service and everything you could imagine wanting in the way of ceramic information and help. They are the reason I can do what I now do. Because of them, I learned to make beautiful small pottery items that hold orchids. I owe everything to this great family and business. And I now make more than simple painted pottery items by commission. read more

Fun activity with a very welcoming environment. On the website it asks for you to make a table reservation, which I did, but when we showed up in the store it seemed like the reservation wasn't very relevant unless you are going to be having a large party or event. But I did appreciate that by putting in my info beforehand, I received email reminders/confirmation or our reservation. The staff was very welcoming, constantly checked in us to make sure we were fairing well, and gave us some technique tips. There was a kids party going on while we were there and they seemed to be having a great time. They also hold classes I believe about once a month on different techniques, so hopefully I'll be able to do that down the line. Overall great experience :) read more

They didn't have stock on the item but cast two special molds just for me. The customer service was exceptional and the pieces were completed in a timely manner as promised. They are gorgeous and I can't wait until they're painted and glazed. The store is bright and well organized and the staff is extraordinary.

They have a very big selection on the piece of pottery you'd like to paint and then you get to take it home like 7-9 days later.

Was looking for something creative to do with my 4 year old son and I was more than happy with the experience we had here. We each picked out a piece to paint, the staff was friendly and explained the steps we needed to do. Bob, I think his name is, was super nice to my little man, showing/explaining how to paint his little ice cream cone. I wanted my son to learn as much as he can so i was interested in seeing the "kiln," I was so pleased they were happy to take us to the back, explained to my little guy how molds were made, how "greenware" was delicate, he even got to smash a couple pieces, then got to see the kiln itself and the glossing machine. The girls there were super nice, even allowed me to play with stencils and silk screen. Finding the place and parking was easy. Overall, great experience. Thank you!

I think they require student ID if you're a student. They said they gave teacher discounts too but I was not offered anything when I went in. They had everything I needed and more. I like to get copic refills, and they have them behind the counter. I'm sure it's to prevent theft. Michael's and Blick does the same thing.

I chose 1 round black one with 60 on it and silver and gold confetti design, then two gold and three silver balloons of different shapes. I'll post pictures of them when I pick them up tomorrow. I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. Rebecca was kind, patient, and helpful. I also purchased the weights to hold the balloon arrangements since the party would be outside. You can choose what color ribbon so I chose matching as opposed to white. I'm thrilled Michael's has balloons now! It's super convenient. You order ahead of time in person or online (not on the phone). Additional notes on pickup day: the balloons were ready for 1p.m. pickup as requested. Very pleased with the result. Glad I bought the weights because it ended up being breezy today so they came in handy. Thank you, Michaels! It was a welcome addition to my friend's 60th birthday party (60 guests!)

Ms. Elin was my son's Pre-K teacher, and he absolutely adores her. Under her guidance, he learned all the alphabets, shapes, and colors, and can now count to 20 -- skills I know are often taught in TK. Beyond academics, Ms. Elin always incorporated fun, engaging activities that the kids loved. She also helped my son become more independent with eating, which was something he really needed encouragement in. In the afternoons, when Ms. Elin left, other wonderful teachers stepped in to provide care -- Ms. Silvia, Ms. Christine, Ms. Mary, Ms. Marie and Ms. Nour. My son knows and loves them all. When I once asked my son if there was any teacher he liked the least, his answer was, "no," which says it all!) Last but certainly not least, Ms. Virgine is an incredible director. My son was both a Covid baby (super shy) and a preemie, so I had extra concerns as a first-time mom. One of the main reasons I chose LPG was the smaller class sizes, so he wouldn't be overwhelmed. I was nervous at first, but my worries quickly faded as I watched him grow and thrive. By the time he graduated, he not only had friends in his own class but also knew the names of kids from other classes. I am genuinely grateful to everyone at LPG for giving my son such a memorable preschool experience. You truly can't put a price on that!

We finally had her tracheostomy closed this February, and in March, I signed her up for swim lessons at Waterwings. My daughter has always loved playing in the water but was terrified to put her head in. Ms. Evelyn made every class fun, safe, and full of encouragement. She took her time to help Jade feel comfortable and slowly built such a trusting relationship with her. Thanks to Ms. Evelyn's patience and creative teaching, Jade has become so confident in the water! She absolutely loves her swim lessons and even wishes she could go every day. Now, Jade takes private lessons three times a week with Ms. Evelyn, and her swimming skills have improved so much -- it's amazing to see how far she's come! I truly can't thank Ms. Evelyn enough for everything she's done for Jade. We're so grateful for Waterwings and all the wonderful coaches there. My son also took lessons here with Coach Cole and now swims with the SD Aquatics swim team. We love Waterwings and highly recommend it to anyone looking for caring, experienced, and fun swim instructors! ‍
