CReATE STUDIO is now a mobile, Pop-up studio. I offer enrichment classes at schools and through Park and Rec departments as well as community projects and private art and sewing sessions as well as Birthday parties. Let's CReATE! I believe It's important for every individual to express their creativity. I believe that kind of creativity can be inspired by reusing recycled items. Founded in 2009, my aim was then, and still is now to provide open-ended, creative experiences for kids and families. I hope create with you soon. Warm Regards, Jemma W. Owner/Founder

Jemma is such a kind, warm, creative, fun, and wonderful human being! We have known her for the last four years and every interaction with her has been such a positive experience. She has come over to our house to throw a birthday party and once as a fun playdate activity with several of my daughter's friend and many visits in between. She is so patient with all of the kids and is always engaging with them on new ideas and validating their work. She is a true treasure. We love you Jemma! Thank you for so many inspirational interactions, you are referenced often in our house!

Thank you for your awesome review Julie! I always enjoy time with your family. Watching kids create together, connecting and bonding is one of my favorite things to do. Thank you for the wonderful opportunities to do that with your crew!
I am so grateful to know you all.

I am sorry that your recent experience is not the one that we were both hoping for regarding rescheduling your daughters birthday party this January. One of the challenges I face as a small business owner, is to adopt policies that first and foremost benefit my customers, but are also fiscally prudent for me as a small business. When a party is booked, and a 50% non-refundable deposit is paid, I hold that time for the customer, forgoing other opportunities for CReATE STUDIO that may come along after the booking. However, knowing that life throws us curb balls, and party times and dates may have to change, I have a fair cancellation/rebooking policy: I do not offer refunds however, in the event a cancellation becomes necessary I will be happy to apply the package deposit fee, minus a 20% service fee toward another CReATE STUDIO experience(s) of equal amount, to be scheduled or used within a 12 month period from the date of cancellation.
My hope is that this policy strikes a balance and is beneficial to both my customers and the Studio. I very much want to rectify this situation with you and hope that we can reschedule your party or gathering for a new date. I am not certain why you’ve been unable to reach me, or I you. Though I am often teaching a class, I do try to return texts in a timely manner, calls are returned within the week. Kindly reach out to me again at 818-575-9566 so that we can find a happy solution for your family.

JemmaDec 16, 2022Previous reviewJemma took payment for my daughter's birthday and never returned my calls or text. I first reached out to her in Feb 2022 and booked an appointment with her. Unfortunately, due to a death in the family we had to cancel the party. I informed her several days in advance but Jemma refused to refund any part of the deposit and charged us for the cancellation in-spite of the unfortunate reason. She promised to apply the remaining balance to a future party. I have been trying to reach her through calls and text for several days but haven't heard from her. This has been a terrible experience.

Wow. This place is nothing short of amazing, Jemma is a pleasure to work with. We planned our daughters 5th birthday party here and I was stunned by the facility and what they offered.
The building: amazing textures, decorations, details throughout that stimulate creativity. They are setup to host parties with two tables and space for coolers, food, presents. There were different tables and stations for activities.
The kids were busy creating and swapping stations, Jemma and heed assistant were taking finished works of art out to dry. They somehow managed to keep the kids on task and busy.
I would highly recommend Create Studio to anyone interested. This was an amazing venue for a birthday. I can see us coming back without the party package. Huge value at Create Studio. Let your kids imagination run free.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sara S.Oceanside, CA11016142Sep 15, 2020

So much to share but I'll keep it simple
Owner is a gem
Shop is one of a kind
Kids have a blast
Parking is there haha sometimes I get front row HA
we've made donations and loved knowing our 'junk' would be reused and repurposed into art of some sort
There are restrooms
There is a large park walking distance which the kids love
Also Joi Cafe is close which I love (the kids do too)
Win win gotta check it out
Hope this place survives Covid, I would be sad if it didn't.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you so much for your business and kind review Sara!
We have shifted to a mobile pop-up studio format so now we can come to you or create in the park. With our mobile service can offer art fun for everyone everywhere! - Debbie H.Thousand Oaks, CA6876041585Dec 23, 2015
This place is a cute studio of recycled supplies used for art projects. It is all donated stuff from buttons, beads, shells, boxes, wrapping paper, material, miscellaneous broken pieces of once upon of time things that can now be used as parts for their projects. There is a clothing area where the kids can make their own costume. They have glue guns, tape, markers, paints and glitter all things needed to put their little minds in create mode.
There is no charge for parents to assist their children during their creative process.
Toddler -5yrs $8.00
6-12 yrs $10.00
13-19 yrs $12.00
20- Adult $14.00
On Tuesday's it's two for the price of one child. :)) and they get two hours of create time. :)
My little ones loved it and are already asking when they can go back to see what else they can find and make. :)Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Trent G.Oak Park, CA3912919Mar 22, 2018
An absolute perfect place to take your kids to if they're even remotely artistically inclined. Gemma and the staff here are just terrific and nothing but warm and welcoming to me and my kids everytime we come in.
We also had my daughter's birthday party here last year and they went above and beyond to make sure our guests had a blast and to ensure a special day for my kiddo.
Thank you Gemma and CReATE for your dedication to art and spreading that love to all our community and our young people!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Bow down to the CreATE creators! I love the concept of crating art of recycled materials. I love doing that at home with the kids but this is on a much bigger more awesome scale.
Can in for our first time as an invite to a birthday party and the kids and adults had a great time watching the kids explore, find, think, and create. The studio was large enough to hold quiet a few people. Outside food was allow. And both of my kids brought home so much awesome art that they had made that day.
I highly recommend for a kid or adult bday party, and for their open studio time and art classes that I can't wait to do with the kids.
** for the pack-rats: they also accept recycled material donations **Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Erin,
It's always a pleasure watching each kid explore our studio and decide what creations they want to make. Our birthday parties are fun because each person gets to make art their own way -- happy to hear that you guys had a wonderful time. Thank you for recommending our studio. Please come back soon for more creative hands-on fun!
All the best,

We love this spot! This studio is so unique and really allows kids and adults alike to flex their imaginations to create art using discarded and recycled materials. Think everything from scraps of clothing, loose buttons, egg cartons, pieces of carpet, ribbons, etc. the place is well-organized and Gemma is wonderful in helping everyone out.
