We ended up opting for these cute heart-shaped bowls. Even though I live in NY, they were so accommodating and were able to prep the piece so it could safely make the trip back home with me. They were just so nice! It's all about the views, the incredibly helpful staff, and the immaculate vibes. Vibe: Cozy, welcoming, and effortlessly charming art café located in the mall. Family-friendly and genuinely wonderful.

You walk in and the employee will give you a run down on the process. If you want to take your ceramic home the same day, you can use acrylic paint, if you don't mind waiting you can choose to glaze it and there is a $5 firing fee. We chose to do glaze and wait a 1-2 weeks and they texted us when it was ready. (Only took a week) In terms of inventory, they have cute Knick knack ceramics you can make or kitchenware like plates, bowls, coasters, etc. I also saw people painting canvases so you really do have a lot of options if you're looking for a fun craft day. Pro tip: do multiple layers if you're gonna do glaze. I'd recommend at least 3, but 4 or 5 if you have the time.

What made our visit extra special was that her service came so naturally and willingly which we didn't expect, and she also didn't know it was my boyfriend's birthday until we checked out. Thank you Izzie for making our experience fun and memorable!

Be prepared for a treasure hunt. Staff are always within range and will assist you with a friendly smile. Amazing how they can remember the location of products and point you in the right direction. Most products are reasonable. The store is large and you can easily become overwhelmed if not familiar with the lay of the land. However, if you cannot locate a member of the staff for guidance, you maybe on your own. It would be helpful for a Store Directory to help you on your treasure hunt for your needed supplies. There is a large parking lot that can get congested. Watch for pedestrians that dart out into the crosswalk with too much confidence that all cars will stop and not look both ways before crossing. That is what contributes to the congestion. Checkout stations are well organized. Watch out for the racks of items designed for you to activate your impulse buying mode. Look ahead!!!

I think the product curation is pretty solid and could benefit every level of witch/spiritualist. They have crystals, candles, deity statues, spell oils, herbs, and a whole ton of other witch adjacent things. I'm personally not into psychics, but they have a wide variety of people that they work with. If you're into that, I'd def suggest checking this place out and looking into the readers. A few customers were taking about how happy they were with their readings! I also dig the store's community involvement with hosting various events and workshops. The store cat, Louie, is an absolute vibe. He's so sweet and friendly! I really loved being greeted by him and the occasional run in once my partner and I started to wander around the store. He even 'blessed' some of my crystals :) The owner is also super friendly and knowledgable! This place is a definite stop if you're into crystals and witchy stuff. Parking is a little annoying, but that's downtown Escondido for you lmao. I like to park a few blocks away and walk over, as the store is def worth it!

What I liked the most , No rush, you absolutely feel like you're at your own studio and if can't finish your project in one visit, you simply leave it safely at the cart with the other unfinished projects and come back during studio hours to continue painting until it's completed. I LOVE that concept!basically you paint at your own time during studio hours. They provide everything, paints, brushes, etc you just pay for your project of choice. I love this place highly recommended for a date night, girls date night, solo time, any event you can think of, groups of 6 or more require reservations. Ceramic painting, canvas, candles and so much more. I'll definitely be going back over the next few days to finish my very detailed skull!

I had an amazing time at The Hot Spot in 4S Ranch!!…read more I took my friend for her birthday and we had a blast. A fun, creative art workshop where you can pick from a variety of options from painting pottery to making candles to building your own garden pot. The prices are clearly written on the item and it's all inclusive (the item, all materials, and use of their facility) so no additional fees other than tax. Most items were between $20-35. The owner was friendly and welcoming. There's plenty of free parking in the large shared lot. You're allowed to bring your own drinks and food as well. We opted to make candles and it was really fun. You start with picking out your glassware, then cutting up the colored wax pieces you want to use and fill them in your glassware, then choosing which glitter color and scent you want. They pour hot wax to mold it all together and the candles ready to go within 15 mins. A great activity for all ages including adults. This would be a great option for any type of celebration, date night, hang out with friends, or spending time with your kids. There's something for everyone.
