Aran's Art Studio, Castro Valley

At Aran's Art Studio, artists find seemingly endless creative possibilities. The studio’s shelves are stocked with more than 300 ceramic forms, including blank bowls, mugs, heart-shaped boxes, and figurines. Artists select from these pieces, then decorate them with stencils, stamps, bright glazes, and their own tears. Aran's also hosts glass-fusing classes and parties and group events, wherein visitors can enjoy reserved tables, help from the creative staff, and personalized birthday plates for the guest of honor.
