You can also paint bears and tumblers. You can bring in alcoholic beverages to sip while creating. This is a lot of fun. I'll be back.

Perfect size square for your first time or just wanting to do something fun and not do so much. Of course it's more if you want to do a bigger size. Think there are maybe 5 sizes to choose from. You can also put resin on top for extra cost.

Our first experience with them 2 years ago was great, it was done at a good pace, party size was small and intimate. You had time to ask questions the artist could and would stop and give you some Individual attention if needed. Now the experience we had last night was not good. We had a full class there was 6 couples in total. Our canvases were not ready when we arrived, we stood in the lobby and didn't have direction on what we needed to do or goad there wasn't anyone to greet us. So we decided to walk in and stood there until someone gave us a spot to sit in. She apologized for running behind as we had to wait for her to outline 12 canvases, she said the class size blew up at the last minute and they didn't have the time needed to be prepared ahead of time since they had to make an emergency supply run. Not a big deal! 45min later we start the actual instruction she said it would be speed painting techniques. The instruction went so fast that no one in the class could keep up, at one point someone spoke up and said we aren't ready as we were all several steps behind. What should have been 2hrs of painting and instruction turned in to a 1hr and 15min painting class. We all felt rushed and overwhelmed with the pace she was leading us at. My wife asked for support/help at the end once several couples left. She stopped by for a second but really didn't offer much support she left her board with my wife for reference but went back to cleaning up from the class. Overall it was not the same experience we had the first time, as we didn't feel we were given the same level of care or time to walk away with something we would be happy to hang up in our home. Overall we didn't have a good experience lastnight and as a small business I feel that there roadblock of not being ready for our class affected us and the quality of our experience as they rushed our class to finish on time as the previous class ran late so ultimately we suffered from that. And I don't feel they took the proper steps to make the moment right. We are unsure if we will reserve a class with them again.

It's really hard to define Back Door Pottery. It was stop #4 for me on an Arts Crawl for the…read moreHistoric North East neighborhoods, and what a great experience! Owner Rebecca Koop is the perfect host and tour guide through her magical land of art, nature, education, commerce, conservation and most importantly community. The pottery for sale is amazing and the prices are right in line. Most pieces for sale are both functional and beautiful. There are also classes available to learn the art of ceramics. While this would define most pottery businesses, Back Door's magical element actually lies outside the building. As you approach the building make sure that you take a close look at the front façade; it may look like a intricate paint job but it is actually a ceramic tile mosaic that was 15 years in planning and 2+ years of installation. It is truly mind boggling to see it up close and discover the details and hidden creations in the 450 square feet of art. After you are awed by the tile work, step to the west side of the building and observe the mural that wraps itself around the the side to connect to the mosaic - fascinating in it's own right. The Scarritt Renaissance Neighborhood garden is also on the property and is fascinating to explore with the garden beds, small orchard, water retention systems and folk art all condensed on to a large city lot. Back Door Pottery is just one more hidden jewel that makes Kansas City a true arts mecca!

It is a nice building and the woman working at the front desk was pleasant and helpful. I believe you can buy hunting and fishing licenses here as well because there were some older gentleman getting fishing licenses. We walked around the building and enjoyed the original art they displayed on their walls. We also enjoyed their taxidermy displays and they had some tanks with live animals. While we were there, they got to watch an employee cleaning the cages and feeding some of the animals. They have a small area that kids can enjoy books and play with a variety of hand puppets that are wildlife puppets. They offer quite a few unique classes to the public, mostly on Saturdays but some in the evening and you have to sign up online. We were the only people visiting at that time so it was nice and peaceful. There are other nature centers like Lakeside that have many more animals to view, but this was a nice addition to viewing and learning the natural world.
