🎨 BYOB Craft Studio in South Lake Tahoe: The Hot Spot Review

🎨 A Hidden Gem in South Lake Tahoe

When you’re visiting (or living in) South Lake Tahoe, you’re always looking for something fun, creative, and unique to do — especially on a chilly evening or a rainy day. That’s how I stumbled across The Hot Spot, a BYOB art studio that’s quickly become one of my favorite Tahoe discoveries.

It’s not just pottery painting. The Hot Spot offers mosaics, candle making, succulent gardens, canvas painting, and even slime for kids. Whether you’re here with friends, family, or your partner, there’s something for everyone.

🍷 BYOB + Crafts = Pure Fun

One of the coolest things about The Hot Spot is that it’s BYOB. Bring your favorite wine, beer, or coffee and settle in for an afternoon or evening of creative fun.

We chose the mosaic workshop, and it was the perfect mix of relaxing and hands-on. The space is bright, well-organized, and fully stocked with every kind of glass tile, glitter, paint, and tool you could imagine. No experience? No problem! The owner walks you through the process and makes it so easy to dive right in.
