Just finished having a class with my boyfriend and I loved every minute of it. Our instructor,…read moreAngelica, was so sweet and patient with us. She made the learning process fun and easy. Even though the class duration was set to last for 2 hours, she said it'd be fine if we went a little over. I didn't realize how fun and relaxing painting is and I can't wait to come back. Taking a painting class here would be a great idea for a group get together or an intimate date. 10/10 would recommend :)

The step by step instruction was great for me. I'd never done a class like that, so starting with a simple class was a great experience. It made it easier for me to understand the process because I'm not an artist at all. We all had a great experience. Thank you all. I can't wait to so it again.

You send them a picture and they send it off for someone to do the outlining of it. My sister helped me get familiar with the place and you pick the colors you want to use and they have all the tools necessary to finish your artwork. Just follow the techniques and everything will come out neatly and it's awesome because it's so personalized, from start to finish, you do it yourself. This is a cute gift idea and a fun group date.

My kids love Mrs. Gracesol and her art classes. We attended a trial session and have been going…read moreweekly for a month now and cannot be happier with how things have been going. My kids are 7 and 9 and love arts and crafts and I wanted to get them into a more structured setting to learn the basics of drawing and shading. Mrs. Gracesol is very kind and attentive. Each child works individually during the class, but gets individual instruction and feedback on their project. Enrollment is monthly w/ 4 classes. She has been very prompt to reply to my emails and texts and couldn't be happier with the experience. The classes are held in a semi industrial area of Claremont, but the art/classroom itself is fun and inviting. I definitely recommend if you're looking for an art class to help build skills.

I can only speak on the kid's cooking class as I know the reviews are a bit different for the…read moreadults. When I walked in, we were greeted very friendly by the front desk and instructors. It was our first time and they made us feel extremely welcomed and invited. That's a HUGE green flag in my book. You want to be around people excited about their job and what they do. When I went to pick up my friend's kid, he was very excited for what he cooked. I got to try some of the pizza he made and honestly, the crust was better than a lot of the pizza joints out there and the crust I've made before. He's in the older class (pre teens and teens) and seemed to enjoy cooking with them. Afterwards, the front desk told us about the different classes and programs. We got the recipe for this week and past weeks so we can try them at home as some of the items caught my eye. He loved the class and will be going back. If your kid has an eye on cooking and wants to learn, I'd definitely sign them up here. It's always good to have some hands on help to ask questions and learn. Wish they had more classes and we missed out on sign ups for the summer. It's $40 a class or 4 weeks is $145 I believe. 90 minute classes. Since they already have the ingredients and everything, it's worth the price.

I cohosted a private event with them to paint our dogs in a beach landscape and it turned out…read morepretty well! Their prices were very reasonable and they were very accommodating to our requests such as allowing our dogs in the studio while we paint. We communicated beforehand to organize the private event to make sure the date/time slot was open, security deposit was met, payment was collected fairly, and we agreed upon an example painting that I found online. They pre-sketched a generic version of our dog beforehand with the set up of supplies and they instruct and guide us through the painting process. They demonstrate and show us what colors to use. They basically guided us through how to get the basic foundation of our painting and then we have the chance to personalized and add more to our liking. Everyone painted the same concept of painting but all of the paintings turned out differently so that was neat! They come around and help you with your painting if you have any questions. They also kindly refill any paint colors you need more of as many times as you need. They also offered a complimentary glass of wine (rosé) to everyone as well. Everything was very chill and relaxed. It's an intimate setting with a capacity of 14 people. One guy instructed the painting process while the other guy served our wine and gave us some facts about Pomona. They were both very friendly! I think this is a good opportunity for people who have never painted to try things out and also a nice opportunity for more experienced painters to just play around. It's also a cool thing to do to hang out and be creative! Our time slot was from 10am-12:30pm but we ended up starting about 20 minutes late because they were still setting the supplies up and some people were running late and we finished around 1:40pm but they didn't even rush us to leave! They also cleaned everything up for us when we were done. My friend and I accidentally broke one of their wine glasses and they also didn't mind! Sorry and thank you for the hospitality! I'm actually going to cohost another event with them again in May cause I had so much fun! Free parking is available behind the building, on the street, or by the train tracks across the street.

Awesome owner! the art work is cool and satisfying to look at while I drink my coffee. Cool gear!read more

In the end, the reason we won't go back is because of how rude Chase was over not contacting us…read morewhen our pieces were ready. They said 6 to 8 weeks but on the 13th week, after we called to find out why it was taking so long, we were rudely informed by Chase that he had "text" us twice, neither of which did we receive. The he told us we had till the end of the week to pick them up? This is in the 13th week with no text or call. Either way, we rush down and wait for him to come help us. In the meantime someone else walks in behind us. When Chase came out, he didn't even say hi, walked right past us to the one who entered after and literally ignored us while having a conversation with a vendor (?!) Then once he was done he proceeded to rudely push about how he had text us twice. I have no clue why that means his fingers don't work to make an actual call and leave a message but there you have it. He was confrontational as i see it because we didn't even bring up the prior rudeness or insistence that he had text but I certainly had my phone ready to show him that indeed there was no text, no call, no nothing. He didn't care, barely looked and lost a couple of people who were actually considering their extremely high monthly rates. Pretty mind blowing when it's a bit over 500 bucks a month for 2 people. Yup, every month and all it includes is the space and the wheel, nothing else. The class itself was great but because of Chase, who told us he was the owner but lists here as the busines manager, we won't go back. I see another review here with the same trouble in not getting their pieces or being informed that the pieces are ready so I guess if you want to pay 50 bucks a person for the classes and do the work to make sure you get what you pay for then have at it. We are going to try one of the other many pottery places close by.

I suppose things have changed a bit since then, especially in the world of art. There was a time…read morewhen the styles, colors, and movements I admired were dominant, shaping the way I understood creativity. Artists worked with familiar techniques and mediums, and the galleries I visited felt like they followed a certain rhythm. Over time, though, the art scene evolved. New forms emerged, digital tools became central, and experimental approaches took the spotlight. Even the way people engage with art feels different now--social media, virtual galleries, and interactive installations have transformed the experience. Looking back, I'm struck by how the art that once felt timeless has become a memory of its era, and how the ever-changing nature of creativity reflects the world's constant motion.
