She helped us so much when we hosted a birthday party here. She closed it down for our party, let us set up our own decorations, picked out music for us, set up tables for our food and gifts, and was generally quite kind and easy going. The prices were very fair as well. We loved it and will definitely be going back. Highly recommend!

We also appriciated the worker playing some Taylor Swift music for us! My mom ordered one of their hot drinks, and she really enjoyed it. It is nice that they have a small cafe inside with multiple drink and snack options, espically as you can be there for a while working on your art. I do have to say they are more expensive than other locally owned pottery places, but we were happy with finished pottery pieces.

I was impressed with such a large selection to chose from , the possibilities were endless . Too bad my wallet wasn't endless , the prices were a bit steep . I settled on a coffee mug wall art piece . The girls all picked animal figurines , my friend Heather just watched and assisted her girls with getting paint . The women who was working wasn't super charismatic, but admittedly, she had a full house that afternoon with no help . I was impressed on how nice our pieces turned out , the young ladies loved them too . It's not an activity I can afford to do all the time , but it was fun getting my creative juices flowing .

A new spin on DIY, an opportunity to create wooden signs using stencils and paint…read more The studio is decorated nicely and over half of it is dedicated to pottery that you can pick and paint. I was there for a private party and did a wood sign instead. They were a little pricey, coming in at about $45.00. But the staff were helpful in trying to accommodate and set up our group. They were able to give a helping hand when needed, volunteering to help touch up mistakes and even drilling in hooks when the signs were all finished. I'm happy with the outcome.

I was a little apprehensive, but went to spend time with the family. Okay, I admit it, it was fun. My wife and one daughter selected cups to paint. Another daughter selected a plate. I chose a chip/dip platter. So many options to chose, from seasonal holiday ceramics to coin banks. The owner (?) went over the process in detail. She helped us whenever we had questions. She was great throughout. We can't wait to see the final product. Not saying I'd do this again, but I wouldn't be opposed. This was a fun family outing (although I was separated from them as I had a splatter painting). I'm sure it'd be fun with a group or kids party. All the photos are pre-firing in the kiln.
