Belinda was a delight and so helpful !!! Can't wait to come back and paint my new mug !!

So much fun! Great time with friends or on a date! I have been back 3x's! And plan to go back again!

Horrible selection to pick from. The lady working there is rude and dismissive even when wrong. They put my artwork on the shelf to sell after I purchased it and they never called me back to state it was ready. Don't waste your time at this dump. This place is a joke read more

I absolutely love this place. Belinda, the owner, is fantastic and always super friendly and helpful. You can pick an item to paint and she provides all the materials you need. Our team at work took a trip here back in December. Everyone really enjoyed themselves..we brought things to nibble on and drink while we painted. Turnaround time to get items back was pretty fast too. I have been here several times and in sure I will go back many times in the future. read more

Chez Clay - Group outing. Great time! - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Belinda was very helpful and knowledgeable! Be sure to let her give you all the details. Just what I needed to relax and get artsy. I wish the painting tables were up by the windows in the natural light, but it was therapeutic regardless. She also ships for anyone out-of-town! My pics are pre-kiln, but the colors should turn out like 73 and 163. read more

See all

Standing outside at 5:20... closed. Sign says they should be open until 6pm. Not the case. read more

This was my first time creating something with my hands. Belinda is very friendly, patient, and professional. I took her class on a Sunday afternoon accompanied by a 94yo lady, a couple in their 30s, and myself. Great for all ages & a really cool feeling using something you made. read more

Chez Clay - Our first visit - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is like anything in life, if your fun, creative and open to trying new things this will be a blast. If you are indecisive, rigid and need your hand held don't bother, this will just be frustrating and you will probably ruin the time of those around you. My only criticism would be the selection seemed small, however my husband and I both found pieces of pottery we liked almost immediately so it didn't affect my 5 star rating. read more

Miss Belinda was incredibly patient with our mixed ages group, working with the messy three year old, the indecisive thirteen year old, the nerdy auntie, and the overwhelmed grandma. Everyone left happy and relaxed, with some beautiful pieces of pottery and some lovely family memories read more

We loved the idea of painting a plate here however we didn't enjoy the experience. The lady that worked here wasn't very understanding of kids. I wouldn't say this place is very kid friendly. She did attempt to help my son with his plate. I assumed that since she worked there she would make it were you could see what he was stamping on there with the stencil. However, you can't even make out the dinosaur at all! She also should have told us to go over our letters because they wouldn't be really dark if not. Lesson learned!! We won't be back. read more

Chez Clay - She helped my son do this and you can't even see the dinosaur! $23 for this go to michaels and do it yourself at home!!! - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This is a paint your own pottery place where you buy a piece of pottery, paint it and they "fire" it for you. While this place beats Posh Paint Pub for customer service, mainly because they don't have as many clients, they fail miserably at surprises! I went here for a pivotal "first" celebration for a family member. They helped get my daughters footprints and all. I told them the whole story about what a huge surprise this was and it was for someone who has "everything" so I had to get super creative about it. I gave them a phone number to leave a message to let me know when it was done (after I provided another number). Before I left I had the girl circle and highlight the phone number to call that wouldn't ruin the surprise. I also asked them to put a line through the other number so there would be no mistakes, they did. Guess what happened? They called the other non circled, non highlighted, and line drawn through it number and talked to the person who was supposed to receive the item. Not only did they tell them the item was ready, but exactly what it was! Needless to say I was pretty furious with them. I haven't been back since and I have told several people about my experience. Apparently the owner here used to work at Posh and decided to make her own place. They told me this. I haven't decided yet if I will ever give them a second chance, I am sure I will at some point just not in the near future. On a p.s. note.. I flagged the other review because I found it suspect that not only did the reviewer know the owners first name, but 5 stars and only one review??? read more

Belinda is super sweet! My boyfriend took me for my birthday. I was terrible at the clay part and was pretty sad about the results so he let me paint a mug. It came out super cute! You have to wait like a week or so until its ready but it was fun getting to see the results! read more

It was a good experience as far as painting goes. The fact that it's BYOB was great, and the staff were friendly, helpful and patient with our group. Unfortunately, our group was very disappointed in the selection of items available to paint. Very few mugs, and the ones in stock had shapes and words carved into the mugs, so it felt less personalized. The majority of the items there were figurines of princesses and cartoon characters, and oddly, lots of cupcake-themed items. I think this place is great if you're painting with/for children because of the items they carried, not so much for 20-somethings, which is what our group was comprised of. read more

Amazing experience! Belinda was patient providing suggestions but still allowing me to create my first work with clay. Will definitely return next time I'm in NOLA to gain new knowledge. read more

So, let me start off with,I don't paint. I wasn't planning on painting anything today let alone pottery in NOLA. Bopper and I were walking off a great BBQ lunch and I saw the sign. It intrigued me...Knowing that I needed an anniversary present and Boppers Mom's birthday was approaching, we picked out several items to paint and have glazed. Belinda (I use her name because we introduced ourselves and had great conversation) was outstanding to work with! She showed us how to paint and decorate our secret presents for our loved ones. What was probably started out as a short visit turned into a 3+ hour great time for me and Bopper. Can't wait to get the final product and surprise our family! Thanks Belinda, Great job! read more

I'd like to personally thank Belinda for taking the time to contact me and make amends. She was nice enough to mail my pottery to me so that I wouldn't have to be hassled by going back. BTW, it came out great! Though I may have had a bad first experience, Belinda has made the bad feelings wash away, and my Husband and I look forward to returning to try again. read more

I have got to say that this is the most fun I've had in awhile. Belinda is such a doll! She made the experience so much better & was so helpful! She came to check on us to see if we needed any help(I definitely did) I had the living social deal but the prices aren't too shabby. I will definitely come back again! read more

Had the best time here on a rainy day! Belinda was super helpful and we were very happy with the finished product.

We had girls night out here, it was really fun. More intimate than a paint by number place b/c you can sit around a table and chat. The owner was our instructor and helped a lot. We all walked away happy with our use-able pieces . it was a great activity to get together with the girls, and you can bring your own wine, they will provide the glasses! read more
