My husband and I came here to paint a couple items. There is a TON to choose from here!! They have…read moreanimals & various figurines, plates, platters, mugs, and other dishes, as well as vases and planters. There's an option to paint or choose some sturdier pottery to do pour glazing on. They also do wheel throwing courses! For painting, we chose a mug and a small planter. The prices are listed on the bottom of each item and it comes with all the supplies, paint, and final firing. There is not table fee here like at other places. The staff is incredible. They remember you by name when you come in and are so helpful with picking out ideas, sharing techniques, and getting colors for you to use. If you don't finish your item the first time, you can come back and finish a 2nd time at no cost! ($10 if you come back after that on the same item.) We came just us the first time, and the 2nd time we came back with our son. It is a very different experience with kids vs adults, but either way is fun!

I called on short notice on a Saturday for a group of 12 for a bachelorette party. They were able…read moreto accommodate us with a larger table in the back. They were incredible! From explaining the different painting options to the different pieces to the pickup! We had a great time, and all of the pieces were bubble-wrapped, labeled, and had care instructions for pickup. I couldn't recommend Katie's Clay Studio enough for all ages. My mug was $29 before gratuity.

It's actually irresponsible of me not to have done so sooner. This is a cool little gallery with lots of vibe. Every now and again they have exhibits with showing open to the public that are a lot of fun. Viewing art, sipping wine and meeting fellow artists, designers and art admirers is always best when in a welcoming environment. Even when they aren't having open exhibits you're able to pop in and have a look around and make purchases. Always something unique and eye-catching here. They've done it right. Check it out if you get a chance.

I brought in a wide variety of different pieces to have framed, some for my teenager's room and some that were photos I took. Mark did an amazing job of adapting to the needs and purpose of each piece. He has a huge variety of frames and mats, but most importantly, an eye for what will really bring out the best in a piece. He is an artist at his craft, and a storyteller! It was so nice to deal with a family-owned business and see his pride in his family history captured on the walls of his shop. We have found our picture framing master! As a side note, his turnaround times are remarkably short compared to what I would have expected. One piece with a custom-ordered frame will take about a month but the rest are only a couple weeks' wait. Will update when I pick them up!

This store…read moresells merchandise such as necklaces and bracelets, tumblers and glasses, wall signs and plaques, picture frames, hand soaps, hair clips, bags, cutting and charcuterie boards, babies' onesies, ornaments, greeting cards, etcetera. Much merchandise is handmade by artisans. I think that most products are geared toward women and that some products would be appreciated by men. I selected a wine bag, two bath products, and one greeting card. The prices of these products were low to moderate. The cashier correctly rang up my purchase, and she wished me a good day. This store can be a good place to find gifts for a family member or a friend--or for yourself!

We didn't find anything I was looking for (jellies/jams/other food oriented gifts). The price on some of the items that I considered buying felt a little steep although understand most things are custom made though I didn't feel the items I considered were worth the price. The gal working the register was nice, and greeted us, and told us to have a good day. Overall not a bad little shop.
