Looking for a creative way to celebrate Father's Day in San Diego or Oceanside? This year, skip another tie and give Dad an afternoon he'll actually remember. On Saturday, June 20th and Sunday, June 21, Art Magic Studio is hosting hands-on Father's Day art workshops at both our locations — pour, paint, and make something together that he'll keep long after the day is over.
Prefer to let Dad choose? Gift certificates work toward any class we offer.
Here's everything you need to plan a memorable, creative Father's Day.
Why an experience beats another gift
Every June the same question rolls around: what do you get for the dad who says he doesn't need anything? Another mug, another gadget, another tie for the back of the closet by July.
At Art Magic Studio, we believe the best gifts aren't things — they're afternoons you remember. There's something special about standing side by side, sleeves rolled up, making something neither of you expected to be so proud of. That's what we'd love to give you and Dad this year.
Father's Day workshops — June 20th & 21st
Here's the lineup. Spots are limited and Father's Day fills up fast, so we recommend booking early. Read to the end for a special offer.
Oceanside — Dad's two favourites
June 20 | 11:00 AM - Ocean Cheese Board. Our most popular pick. Dad pours and designs his own resin serving board in deep ocean blues, swirling color into something that looks like a little slice of the Pacific frozen in time. He'll create a stunning, genuinely useful piece he'll pull out at every gathering for years — and yes, he'll tell everyone he made it himself.
June 21 | 3:30 PM — Fluid Art. The most relaxing experience we offer. There's something almost meditative about watching colors flow, blend, and bloom across the canvas — no rules, no pressure, no "doing it wrong." Dads are always surprised by how much they get lost in it.
San Diego (Banker's Hill)
June 20 | 11:00 AM - Craft Bar. An excellent option to create whatever your Dad likes. Secure your spots and select your craft on arrival: from words you create to keychains, jewelry, painting, and more.
June 21 | 11:00 AM — Ocean Texture Art. A brand-new, totally unique experience in town. If you want to give Dad something he's never tried before — coastal-inspired, hands-on, and unlike anything else around — this is the one.
June 21 | 3:30 PM - Ocean Cheese Board. Our most popular pick. Dad pours and designs his own resin serving board in deep ocean blues, swirling color into something that looks like a little slice of the Pacific frozen in time. He'll create a stunning, genuinely useful piece he'll pull out at every gathering for years — and yes, he'll tell everyone he made it himself.
Can't make the Father's Day weekend? Give a gift certificate
If Dad can't make Father's Day weekend, or you'd rather let him choose his own adventure, an Art Magic gift certificate is the easiest yes there is. It can be used toward any class we offer, so he picks whatever speaks to him — and it never feels like another shelf-bound gift.

Father's Day FAQ
What's a unique Father's Day gift idea in San Diego? A hands-on art workshop. Instead of a physical gift, you give Dad a creative experience — and he leaves with a one-of-a-kind piece he made himself. Art Magic Studio offers resin, fluid art, and ocean-themed workshops in both San Diego (Banker's Hill) and Oceanside.
What can you make in a Father's Day workshop at Art Magic Studio? On June 21 you can make an ocean-inspired resin cheese board (11 AM, Oceanside), a fluid art canvas (3:30 PM, Oceanside), or an ocean texture art piece (11 AM, San Diego). All are beginner-friendly — no experience needed.
Do you offer Father's Day gift certificates? Yes. Gift certificates can be used toward any class we offer, so they're perfect when you're not sure which workshop Dad would love most.
Is there a Father's Day discount? Yes — 10% off orders over $100 with code DAD10, and 15% off orders over $200 with code DAD15.
This Father's Day, give Dad a few hours to create something he'll actually keep — and the kind of afternoon that beats brunch-and-a-card every time. We can't wait to make a little magic with you both.
With love,
Art Magic Team
