We went to a similar place once before but never here. We will go back. The staff were ALL…read morereally friendly, very helpful and appropriate in their 'checking in' to see if we were good or needed anything. There was a good variety of items to choose from to paint. My wife took a a platter, and using their wide variety of stencils and the patterns that the staff printed out for her, made a really awesome Christmas cookie platter. She also made a very colorful spoon rest. My eyes were bigger than my hands and I chose a large old fashioned pickup truck with a Christmas tree in the back. It took me about 4 hours to get my piece painted with the detail that I wanted. The items will all be given a glaze and fired by the staff this week and will be ready to pickup in 4 days. The Christmas tree in my piece will have miniature Christmas lights placed in them and lit up before I pick it up. I will edit my post to include pictures once the items are finished. The pieces available to paint have a wide price range so there is probably something for any budget. We will be bring our grandkids during Thanksgiving break. Not sure if it was due to people being off for Veteran's Day but the place was fairly busy the entire time we were there. It would be a fun activity for date night; family activity; or even a group of friends. It was fun!

Soon as we walked in we were greeted by Ashley. This location was really busy, but still great vibes! Ashely was nice however not attentive. She did asked had we been here before, I advised we been to the one on Houston. She gave us quick instructions on picking out the pottery pieces. However once seated we never received our water jar, or the necessary things needed to begin. One my daughter picked out her colors and went to find help, located Hope, who was an absolute doll!! Very very helpful! Four stars for Hope!

**BEWARE THIS PLACE IS A SCAM**…read more Go somewhere else for painting pottery! The ceramics are expensive with most pieces being between $32-$48, all with "Made in China" labels. However, there is no paint or kiln cost it's all included with the price of the ceramic so it makes sense that it is on the higher side. But with the cost of paint included we watched the employee ADD WATER into the paint bottles there. Then when I went to use the black paint it was so watery that it bled onto my other designs. I mean it's ceramic paint, not water color. When I told the girl working she said her boss added too much water to the black paint. My mom asked for the name of her boss and the girl said Videria but not sure how to spell it but didn't want to give her name. When I asked what to do about my piece because I had just spent hours working on it to have black paint run on it, she asked what I wanted her to do about it. I mean I feel like if you work at a pottery shop you should know how to wipe off paint or fix something if it gets messed up. My brother was working on a larger piece and on his second coat of paint when she came over and told him less goes farther. And took his paint away to bring him back a little amount. I'm not sure that treating people this way and diluting paints is the best way to run a paint pottery shop. If a boss or owner wants to reach out with their contact info my mom has a photo of the girl. At the end we spent $140 for four small ceramics and had inattentive service, and saw how slimy a business this place really is.

They sat us in the very back against a wall (no air). Then given paper pallets for paint. You had to go get your own squirts of paint from 2 "stations" which was in bottles numbered. It was crazy just going to get the paints. Bumping into people because it was packed. You had to get your own paint brushes. They offered used aprons?!?! Snacks were $2 a piece. No thank you! So then you're told to come back in 5 days to pick it up after firing. But they send no messages or text. They did say they will keep it for 3 months. But the biggest reason was for was the bill was $168. for 3 ceramics pieces. AND they ask for a tip?!?! For What?!?! My DIL will pick up the pieces but I will not go back. Have 4 other grandchildren that wanted to go but we will find someplace else.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed in a warm and creative atmosphere. Our instructor, Crystal, was a standout part of the experience. She was not only friendly but also incredibly informative and knowledgeable about pottery and the throwing process. Crystal took the time to explain each step clearly, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and confident at the wheel. Her enthusiasm for the craft really shone through, making the class both engaging and inspiring. The hands on experience of throwing clay was nothing short of magical. I loved getting my hands dirty and experimenting with different techniques under Crystal's guidance. The supportive environment encouraged creativity, and I left feeling proud of what I had created. I can't wait to return for another class! If you're considering trying pottery, I highly recommend the Mud Studio. It's a fantastic place to learn, create, and have fun. I'm looking forward to my next session!
