    My daughter and I have been here in the past around the time they first opened. They've added so…read moremuch! We were here recently with a few other friends for a mom and daughter day. All of us moms painted something and some of our girls made bracelets at the charm bar. Open studio is great if not everyone can decide what they want to do. The girl that was working was so helpful and so sweet. She was pretty busy because our group wasn't the only one there. I'm so glad that we were able to spend time together in this cute space!

    Unfortunately, during our latest visit, we encountered some challenges that were quite…read moredisappointing. We have visited multiple times in the past without any issues, except the fact that they were closing early, but this time, we found the experience less than satisfactory. Your phone line indicates that you are open until 7 PM from Tuesday to Saturday and until 5:30 PM on Sundays. Online it says till 5:30pm. However, when I called to confirm your hours prior to our visit, no one answered. I arrived at 4:32 PM on my daughter's birthday, the day she had been eagerly looking forward to painting. To our dismay, we were informed that we could not paint, even though there was still an hour before closing time. We had planned to make bracelets, have a hat made, and enjoy the painting experience together. I understand that circumstances can vary, but it was disheartening to be turned away in such a manner, especially on a special occasion. She could have offered to let her paint for only 30 mins or whatever would allow her to close on time. She just seemed like she didn't want us there because she was on a time crunch to leave. Mind you the business is completely empty so you would think you'd want to make money. I believe it would be beneficial to ensure that your hours are accurately reflected on your phone line and to allow customers to enjoy their time until closing. We really loved this place but are definitely turned off now.

    Took the beginners tig welding class with Bill yesterday. He's great and really knows his stuff…read more Does a great job of teaching. Lots of 1 on 1 time and having never welded anything before (I work in front of a computer all day), it helped me understand a lot quickly. He was always on it with guidance and what I can do to improve in real time as I'm welding (lifting too much, slow down, etc). Was absolutely a great experience and I will be taking his other classes once I can. He also gives great guidance on equipment, where to spend, options, gear, etc. Super helpful, very passionate. Great guy! If you're looking to learn how to weld, I'd absolutely recommend taking a class with him. Class sizes are kept really small so you get a ton of 1 on 1.

    First of all, I would like to say how rare a place like this is. I have lived in Los Angeles for…read moreabout 5 years now and finding somewhere to work on your projects is a near impossible task in my experience. Space is extremely limited and organization can be frustrating, but I haven't found another place like this. There are tons of machines; but it's a DIY shop, so the member needs to be familiar with the equipment they are using. If you choose the membership route, I would recommend budgeting time (at least 30 minutes) to cleaning up before/ after your project. Bill (owner) is an excellent resource and always makes time to answer questions, even when he is not at the shop. I highly recommend taking one of his welding classes, or becoming a member and finishing that project your SO has been bugging you about!

    Going through my university education I always felt like I didn't belong. I had trouble feeling…read morelike I fit in. After college, and entering the working world, it felt like it was even harder to connect with others. That is why I was so pleased to have found CrashSpace. Everyone has been so nice and welcoming. I truly felt like I could be myself and be accepted. CrashSpace has a lot of tools and machines to work on your various projects. But more importantly, CrashSpace is a COMMUNITY of people from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and experiences. I think the biggest asset has been the knowledge base that the whole community has and shares with each other. CrashSpace is volunteer run and you can tell that really passionate people invest their heart and soul into keeping this organization alive and thriving. CrashSpace is very active with regularly occurring weekly events, monthly meet-ups, and hands-on workshops. It seems like there is always something fun going on at CrashSpace. If you're an artist, maker, DIYer, designer, techie, programmer, cosplayer, tinkerer, engineer, educator, STEAM fan, I think you'll really like CrashSpace.

    I attended events here as a guest and had multiple experiences that raised serious safety concerns…read more At one point, an individual who appeared to be actively using drugs and attempting to steal money from attendees was allowed to remain in the space during an event, despite multiple people being uncomfortable. There was no clear leadership response or removal. Separately, I was invited by a member to an off‑site party connected to this community. After that event, I experienced sudden disorientation and memory loss inconsistent with my alcohol intake. I went to the hospital, was evaluated for head trauma (none found), and the attending physician concluded I was most likely drugged (e.g., roofied). What was most alarming was the response afterward. Rather than concern or accountability, multiple people connected to this group aggressively pushed a narrative that I "just got too drunk" or "hit my head," even after being informed of the medical evaluation stating otherwise. The takeaway was clear: when something serious happens, this community protects itself -- not women who are harmed. There is insufficient leadership, security, or safety protocol to protect members, especially femmes. If your personal safety matters to you at all, I would strongly recommend steering clear.
