I love how it was a small group of people too so they can really focus on helping each individual. Everything came out well and the glazing color options are pretty cute too! You do need a reservation and it's $60 which is a pretty good deal!

The holy grail of pottery…read more While I haven't attended a class at Costa Mesa Ceramics just yet, I visited their storefront for a pop-up artist showcase. They used both the indoor rooms and the back patio space to highlight their students work, as well as other local creators. There was a huge selection of handcrafted mugs, bowls, jewelry dishes creative knick-knacks, and more. There was a selection of other handmade art, including jewelry, leather, and screen printed goodies. I loved that they brought in a coffee and taco vendor, keeping attendees well fed and happy. I ended up purchasing a number of items, including the most beautiful ceramic chime to hang outside. Overly impressed by this little pottery store, would love to return for a future hands on class.

Jeniece hosted a paint and sip event I did for my corporate team at Art + Soul…read more The process was incredibly smooth and easy -- we set up the event over email, she sent over a link for checkout, and we were good to go. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling and working with me on the event planning. The location was easy to get to in Newport and the studio itself had the perfect amount of space for my group of 7 people. Be aware that you will have to pay for parking, but it's relatively inexpensive and done via app. During the event itself, Jeniece was patient and made jokes which we were very grateful for given that many of us hadn't painted or attempted visual art since high school. She provided the final product options and we voted on which we'd all complete. She was very attentive in the lesson -- she both demonstrated and walked around the class to see how we were progressing. She was incredibly positive with her feedback. I would recommend Jeniece and Art + Soul to anyone doing a work team event. Her flexibility and positivity were exactly what we needed!

We came during the week around midday, so parking was easy to find, but if you're coming on a weekend or in the evening, I'd recommend arriving early since parking is limited. Our instructor, Sage, was incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding us through the entire pottery-making process and making it feel approachable even for beginners. We made two pieces total--one hand-built and one thrown on the wheel--which was really fun and exciting to try. The whole experience was creative, relaxing, and unique. I would definitely recommend this class and will be suggesting it to friends and family!

It's clear the employees here are very passionate about pottery however that's about it. Customer…read moreservice is really bad here. We took the one-time pottery class and it's nearly impossible to get ahold of them. After your class you're supposed to get an email a few weeks later to schedule glazing. I never got the email, had to reach out twice to get any contact. Then after glazing you're supposed to get another email to pick up your pieces. Guess what, I never got it and had to reach out again. Overall it took us over 3 months from the first class to get our pieces. It's a great concept and fun but would not recommend this business to anyone.

I can't say enough positive things about Art and Soul. I've been visiting the Huntington location…read morefor a few weeks now, and it has been an absolutely incredible experience. I came in with high expectations, but they've been surpassed a thousand times over. Caroline, Mary, and the entire team are not only incredibly talented but also kind, thoughtful, and completely dedicated to making sure every need is met. I first reached out to them through Kiln Share, and Caroline personally called me that evening to walk me through the process. They even went out of their way to help me get my pieces fired during the busy holiday season, ensuring I could meet all my deadlines. This team is truly amazing, and the studio itself is a hidden gem. The energy in their classes is so positive, with happy kids and supportive, invested teachers. I feel so fortunate to have found such an amazing group of women and such a cool, creative space right here in Orange County. I'm beyond grateful for them. - A very happy customer and now friend, Kaitlin (:

The Artist Lab is a wonderful art school! My son absolutely loves it and we find the staff, studio…read moreand instructors to be extremely professional. My son is focused on digital art and 3D sculpting and they are teaching him the latest tools. Most importantly, like with any artist, they help him to create and improve the type of art that HE wants to create. They are great at giving guidance and providing support for him when he has questions or wants to learn new techniques. The instructors are all experienced in their respective areas and you can even see their photos and bios on the main wall when you enter the studio. They are always available at the end of class to go over what was covered in class and to answer any questions from parents as well. We are very happy with our choice to send our son to The Artist Lab.

I love taking the adult art class here! I've completed 2 paintings and 3 acrylic pieces with Sher…read moreso far. I've been an oil painter since I was a child. I am 27 years old, I'd say the class ranges from 17-70! There is about 10-ish people in the class. Each person works on their own piece- meaning she is NOT up in the front giving instructions while everyone paints the same dang thing. This is not the type of class. The classes are intimate, and very relaxed. She has everything you need to start your first masterpiece. Really, you don't need to bring a thing! You can choose any medium in the adult class- oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, ceramics, and probably even more. It's is SUCH a great place for a beginner, because you can try all the different mediums until you find one right for you, with no investment in supplies! This is rare. Sher really is a wonderful woman. She is as hands on or hands off as you need. If you need her to sit by you and walk you through every step, she's there. If you want to do you own thing she'll stop by with once or twice with encouragement and her two cents! Most students in the adult class have been going to her for years and doing their own thing, so she's always able to give extra attention to newbies. She is very chatty, it seems like everyone in the class is old friends. She has great stories to tell. I'm a bit quieter while I'm painting, but I do not find the chatter among the class distracting at all. Even though I've painted most my life, i was a bit nervous coming into a new studio- NO NEED! This is the most relaxed, kind group of people I've found. No artsy egos, no judgment, no pressure. Lastly, her children's classes and art camps seem to be super popular. Some of the parents are now in the adult class because they were jealous of how much fun the kids were having. How cool is that!
