I had a great time here painting mugs with my girlfriend. The staff seemed limited but efficient. I had no problems finding everything I needed and felt comfortable asking questions. I went on a Thursday and it wasn't busy read more

Horrible customer service and lack of organization.Parties overlapped and the employees seemed miserable and lack training. Would not recommend this place. read more

Hosted my daughter's 5th birthday party at Art & Soul and it was seriously great. The staff was so sweet and helpful every step of the way - from my first call to ask questions, all the in-between communications, and the day of. Not only was the staff awesome, but they were so flexible. I opted to do a pottery painting party but they also allowed me to bring in my own canvases for a small fee so that the kids could do both mediums. The kids were able to choose from a variety of plaster figurines and cups, pick up to 5 acrylic paint colors, and get more paint as needed. Aprons were also provided so that the kids didn't get their clothes messy. I was able to come 30 minutes early to set up and could bring anything I wanted (including alcohol!). They provided table cloths and balloons of my color choice so that was a huge help with half the decor. The kids all had a great time and my daughter said it was the best party ever. :) One thing to note is that the space wasn't private for our event so there was another group of adults painting. It didn't bother us, but I did feel bad for them when a bunch of 5yo girls showed up. Luckily, they were almost done and good sports about it. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! I took my son two weeks ago to paint pottery for his dad and step dad. I came in today to pick it up and they lost his step dads mug.. So now I don't have anything for my son to give his step father. (It's also his step dads FIRST Father's Day) It was hard enough to find the time to do it, but now it's no where to be found and they've ruined my sons gift for Father's Day. This place is very poorly run. Don't waste your money. read more

the RUDEST people i have ever talked to. my appointment got mixed up and the manager came to the phone and started laughing at me. I'm a 19-year-old girl looking to do something nice for me and my boyfriend for Valentine's Day and I would never purposely be a Karen. I never leave yelp reviews because I never feel the need to but this experience really just turned my stomach. I wish they had a better way of communicating an appointment. I had to email a lady back-and-forth to get an appointment and with other places it's just on the website. I'm not saying that they should change it just for one person, but it's very much a quality of life issue. I work in retail, so I get that people can be very irrational sometimes, but I feel like I had very valid questions, and I was being very respectful, and I did not feel like I reciprocated that level of respect. I am in no way perfect but this place truly ruined my holiday. read more

My sister and I have been coming here for years. This has always been a great place to come. They are no longer on the top floor above TCBY but right next to Kroger as you pull in the front you will see it. Right next to Sally's. There are lots of other competitors out there these days but my sister and I think this one is by far the best. The employee's there are always super friendly, helpful and nice. The items they have there range anywhere to children's nick nacks and penny banks to plates, candle holders, jars and pots, etc for adults. They now have where you can bring your own adult beverage and snacks for a cute girls night out which they didn't have before. They also have been doing a lot of private parties and/or events but sometimes they are still open for others. One group was there throwing a baby shower, AWESOME idea!!! The paint selection is great, they have glass pieces which you can paint too, tons of stencils, brushes, etc. This place has always been a favorite, and highly recommend it! read more

Art & Soul Studio - Tons of pieces to choose from! - Art Classes Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

They were supposed to open at 11am, but we waited until 11:45 (and in the parking lot since 10:30) with no one bothering to show up to open the door AT 11am . Thinking on my feet after waiting way too long, at 11:20, we went next door to Kroger and spent $50 on a ton of art stuff to make up for not being able to paint that morning (this this was supposed to be a special surprise since my other kids were in school). As we were on our way out of Kroger, we checked back to see if they were open and they finally were . Not even so much as a an apology or small discount for their lateness. Even though they didn't have a unicorn which is what she really wanted, my daughter had fun so that's all that matters. We painted 4 small items and it cost me $92. read more

Art & Soul Studio - Holiday hours except they didn't open until 11:45 on 1/2 - Art Classes Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I booked an 11th birthday party there for a small group (5-6 kids). We didn't realize that it would be so crowded and busy with other customers. Our party struggled to hear and see the instructor while lines of people were crowded around our table and walked in front of the instructor. We should have asked more/better questions when booking but it should have been a better experience. It would be much better to have a private or semi-private area with a divider for groups. read more

This is a great pottery painting place. I went with a group for our monthly meeting. In fact, they opened up the studio just for our group, which was really nice. Their selection of pieces was extensive - they even had glass that you could paint. Their color selection was good, and you could use as many and as much as you want. I must say I prefer this business model. The entire price is incorporated into to price of the piece. Creativity isn't limited to 4 colors, and people want to make the piece without worrying how long it's going to take or how much paint it's going to take. The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable - offering so much advice about color and pattern, guiding you in the best direction so that you're happy with all your hard work at the end. I can't wait to see how my piece turned out, but regardless, I would happily return to Art and Soul. read more

I think painting pottery is cool. There I said it. Don't mock me. I think painting a cupcake for my niece is even cooler. I think painting pottery for my niece and nephew while they are also painting a scary snake and a little fish is the coolest of all. I would love to give Art and Soul 5 stars simply because I love painting pottery that much. Sadly, they only receive a three. I found the selection of pottery both limited and overpriced. There seemed to be more adult-oriented pieces (wine bucket anyone?) than kids pieces. I did like that the paint was in a separate container and you got to squeeze it into your palate. The only problem with that was when you needed a refill... I couldn't remember the color I used! Also, they have hairdryers to dry the paint layers; this was problematic because a hot hair dryer is not the friendliest to children, or to your skin. I think fans would have worked better. The staff was friendly enough, and the wait time for your piece was about average (about a week). The location is also decent. The best part about this place was the airiness about it... lots of light and open space for the little ones to run around. I'd definitely come back here to make a wine bucket! read more

Art and Soul Studio is a little delightful place where you go for relaxing fun! Pair a picture, decorate a plate, a vase, pottery and more. Go with a date, bring your grandkids, family fun. We always bring guests here.. every one loves it. read more

Art & Soul Studio - Art Classes Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I had to find a place to take my artista girlfriend. Luckily I stumbled upon this place via Yelp. As you enter you are surrounded by a nice array of all white ceramics to choose from. Of course I choose the "easy" one. An already molded doggie cup. I figured it would be as close to paint by numbers as I could get. But not having a lick of artistic ability made even this elementary undertaking, daunting. The two hours I spent on my Bella inspired cup were really fun. But the cup was not awe inspiring. My girl's Radiohead/ Stanley Donwood inspired cup was an instant classic in comparison. The owner does allow you to bring in food and wine. Now that I know it basically takes as long as you want, a bottle or two would make it that much better. read more

I can't say enough about the staff at Art & Soul. I sent Tammi an email inquiring about turn around time and she was very quick to respond even though it was late at night. I needed a piece done within 24 hours and she has been so accommodating and helpful. When I went in today, the staff member there was super friendly and even stayed a bit later because I couldn't come back the next day to finish. Everyone here has been great and I will continue to come back! read more

I went with friends for my birthday. We were really disappointed. The choices were very limited, stock was very low. I paid for the after hour session, I expected more assistance with our group. The girl that was there did not interact with us. There isn't a pre painted version for the canvas painting option. This place my be ok for kids but I don't recommend this place for adults. Especially if you are looking for a fun time. read more

The first thing is that the AC does not work it was super hot and uncomfortable in the building. Secondly they are not handicapped friendly they are located on the second floor with no elevators. Third they do not give u any warning it just at 7pm they tell u I know u guys are not fined but is 35.00 extra dollars after 7pm so I just have to pack up your unfinished product and go. I was visiting with friends from Houston Texas but I won't be returning to this place. read more

I posted on my Facebook page yesterday that I was "heading over to Art and Soul to paint pottery" and 5 of my girlfriends showed up. It was pouring down rain and we were all bored at home. We decided to paint pottery as you can do other crafts like glass painting, mosaics, and more. You pick what you want to paint and the price is on the bottom. There are no surprises on the price and you are not limited to paint colors or time. They have tons of stuff that you can paint---you name it, they probably have it. I was not able to complete my piece so it is on the unfinished shelf waiting for me to return. We received a ton of personal attention from the owner, Lucy, and all of her staff. And we were able to enjoy some appetizers and wine that we brought with us. I would highly recommend this place if you enjoy this type of activity and take a group with you as that makes it even more fun. read more

How sad. This place used to be a great place to bring your kids and seemed to draw a lot of date nights and groups. Gone is the music as well. Now it's dead quiet and largely empty. Terrible selection and a lot of empty paint bottles. Not even a hair dryer to dry between coats. It's too bad as used to be a nice place but now just an empty store w old paint and VERY FEW choices to paint. It's a great location so hopefully someone will invigorate the store. read more

We held a private company event here at Art & Soul - they were a pleasure to work with and gave us time to set-up, were patient when our food arrived late and we had to push back the start of our painting time due to some other activities we had planned for the group, and we were there 1-hour past our scheduled time with no rush or pushing to leave. Would absolutely recommend them for another event and for private events! We had enough room for our party of 15 to paint, a separate area to sit and eat, and a few tables with food / drinks. read more

The place is nice and has a nice assortment of items to choose to paint. The pieces are a bit pricey ( $25-$30 for a dinner plate) The employees, are least for us on a Sunday afternoon, were not very helpful in terms of color or design. My family recently painted several items there and the people who work there were towards the back of the store painting their own. No ideas or inspiration to share or helpful hints. It is the pottery place closest to my house but I am not sure I would return. read more

My friend and I made pottery pieces on the throw and returned to paint them today. Wessol was an absolute joy to work with. She was detailed, patient with first timers and fun to chat with. Two thumbs up on this experience. read more

My kids love it here, but I've been very disappointed with the selection for a while. For the prices you pay - up to $25-$30 for a cup and saucer?? - I would expect a lot more variety. Really, there are only so many oversized banks and jewelry boxes kids can paint. read more

Had to find some fun activities for my boyfriend's 8 year old daughter and took her to Art & Soul. She had such a GREAT time! This is a great place and perfect for all ages. She loved picking out her piece -- they had so many choices she couldn't decide! There are soo many colors to choose from and the staff was really helpful (all while handling a birthday party in the back). We even had a request to pick up the next day and they were more than accommodating! I love this place and will definitely be back to brush up on my artistic skills. read more

What a disappointment! My sister and brother-in-law wanted to meet my family of four here for a fun afternoon. I checked the website for hours(11am-7pm), and we decide to meet at 2:30pm. When we arrive there is a large chalkboard out front that says "walk ins welcome today after 12:30." Inside we begin looking at the pottery and the 2 kids pick out their pieces. After about 10 minutes a woman walks over to us and says they are not accepting walk ins today. We point to the sign out front, and she replies they are full. We also question that as there are only 2 groups in the store (a couple with an infant and one adult with two kids). We point to all the empty tables to which she replies there aren't enough chairs. The other patrons offer us the extra chairs from their tables they aren't using, but the woman insists we cannot paint today suggesting we come back another day. We got the point that we were not welcome. read more

I made reservations for a mother's day outing with my children. I drove 2 hours to get there & was told I had to come back 3 hours later due to the fact that they double booked the studio. I was spoken to very rudely by the other person who booked the studio twice. She said she wasn't going to share the studio with me & there were 2 empty tables there. The studio allowed this lady to bully me out of studio time when I had a reservation as well. I told the other customer thanks for ruining my mothers day with a few other choice words & walked out. Her husband came up to my car cussing me out & threatening me with my children in the car. I came back 3 hours later as discussed. The other party was still there & I was told to come back some other time because they weren't sure when the other party would be leaving. My mothers day was ruined. The owner offer me an apology & a buy one get one free mug painting. That was absolutely nothing compared to the humiliation & embarrassment that I endured. I highly don't recommend them. read more

Ok, to start off I must admit I was NOT looking forward to this! It was bought as a Groupon gift for my girlfriend... I put it off as long as I could but finally went this past weekend. I was the only guy in there for a while, but a couple more came in by the time it was over. There were two big groups of girls there when we went, seemed like a big "chick thing". Truthfully-it wasn't near as bad as I was expecting! I actually kinda got into it and my inner Picaso (ok, Dali) came out! You can bring in your own drinks and snacks, which is cool. A few cocktails might have made my work better in retrospect! The people were amazingly friendly and helpful! Checked on us a few times (I think due to my deer in headlights facial expressions...) and answered any questions we had! Overall, we both really had fun and it was a cool experience! They have a bunch of different items to choose from to paint, from plates, to frames, to coffee mugs to piggy banks and the list goes on! All paints, stencils and anything you need is included in the price which is nice too! I will say though, it was Africa hot in there and the chairs you work in do nothing for your back and butt...especially when you're there for a good 3-4 hours or more depending on what you pick to paint!! Fun though, worth a try~! read more

Easily the best painting experience I've had, not to mention the staff was amazing, and extremely helpful.

We hosted our team event at this location. The venue was absolutely great, the staff was fun and engaging and really helped contribute to an excellent time. I would recommend this Art & Soul to anyone looking to have a fun night with friends / family / significant other. read more

My kids and I had a great time here. Lots of pottery selections and great service!

My first time at doing pottery painting and it was so fun! I brought my 2 1/2 and she loved it when we were all finish we wanted to paint more lol. The person working was very helpful and she explain everything how it work and the prices too. I will definitely come back again! read more
