We used to come here a lot. Even just a couple weeks ago. Today we wanted to celebrate my birthday…read more My mom, daughter and I came in. My mom is very slow due to mobility issues. The lady didn't seem very friendly. Every time we've ever come in we've picked a table. Well not today as I was sitting my mom down the lady told us she had just sat 2 people there. So she told us to move. She wasn't friendly and just not a friendly environment today. My daughter who never says anything asked if we could leave. Very disappointed in our experience. Now looking for a new place to start going to.

5, 10, 15 stars if I could! I LOVE that there's a place like this so close to home. Based on our…read moreexperience, we will be back (a lot!) especially on those gloomy, rainy days that Cincinnati provides. My kiddo loved it and so did mom! We decided to pop in and check this place out on a Saturday morning, unknowing what we were getting ourselves into. We just needed to get out of the house. On the left side of the shop is a wall FULL of unfinished ceramics starting at $7 and going up. You choose what you'd like to paint (we went with a few different items) and then you get started! The kid wall is full of little animal statues like penguins, peacocks, elephants, bears. For the adults there's mug, ornaments, plates. You can add on smaller pieces for $1 or decorate a cute ceramic letter. There's so many different selections that you could come back 10 times and still find something new to paint. They have everything you need as far as paints, brushes, smocks, sponges, stamps. Go at your own pace, use whatever design your heart desires and they glaze and fire it for you. Keep in mind, this process takes one week so you can't take it home right away. Plan for one week if you're giving as a gift. As for pricing, you purchase your item for whatever is written on it and then for kiddos it's $5 flat fee, adults is $7 flat fee on top of your piece. My kiddo painted 3 things and it was under $20. Our finished pieces are so cute and my kiddo treasures hers in her room. Can't wait to go back! AND we snagged a couple gift cards for Mammaw and Nana! I hope Doodlin never leaves!

A paint/glaze your own pottery studio with zero studio fees?! Count me in!…read more Fees are included in the listed price. However, I've been to a handful of pottery studios and the prices at Cactus Rose are still significantly less than a traditional studio fee. Options are: paint and take home same day or glaze and pick up in a week or two. Pottery Wheel classes are available intimately for $45/person which includes four bowls, glazed and fired in the kiln. Huge shop full of summer camps for the kiddos, pottery retail, fun t shirts and tumblers for purchase and events held often!

My daughter and I frequently come here to paint and absolutely love it. We have gone to several…read moreplaces to paint ceramic pieces and by far this place beats out the rest especially in price. They don't charge a studio fee which is amazing. They have a good selection of pieces to paint. The hardest part is picking which piece you would like to paint. They also have several other things to make here other than just painting a ceramic pieces. We haven't done anything else yet but we are planning on it in the future. This is a great place to take your kids and enjoy an afternoon with them. The owner is very friendly and personable.

I saw that beyond painting you can also use wheels and make your own stuff. There's a decent selection of things to paint (always the hardest choice) and then a wall filled with different paints and little pictures of what it'll actually look like once glazed. I appreciated the emphasis on how the color will differ based on how many layers you paint it. There's also soooo many stamps and lace and texture type stuff to help you in your design. You pay after finishing and then they'll call you once it's done (for me it was like two weeks later but it was also the holiday season). Very enjoyable time!

My manager booked a private room for us as an end of year engagement. What a fun time decorating…read moreour ceramics. You walk in and get to pick out your pot. Whether it be a figurine, plate, pot, vase, bowl, etc. pricing ranges from size of the product. There are different paints you can choose from. You have to do three coatings, and at the end they will glaze your product and you pick it up in two weeks. There is a service fee for the paints. My only con was they were sold out of a lot of products so there weren't a lot to choose from their selection. I picked out a pot for my plants. Overall it was a great experience and would recommend this to those who want to do something different. Plus it's therapeutic. Me and my friends had fun.

They give great instructions on how to achieve the look and color you are hoping for. Anyone can paint!! The prices are listed on all the ceramics and there are small to large pieces.

Which we DID ;) I had to kick off a quarter of a century the right way. Ya feel me?! I picked a large beer mug to pour a pitcher of coffee in during the day and a bottle of wine at night. I picked the sun and the moon add ons to go along with my morning and night feel! Sun for coffee and a moon for wine ;) There isn't a studio fee! So the price on your item is all you pay. After a few days you can pick up your beautiful item!! I can't wait to pick up line! I will post that picture later!! Lindsey was a doll and set everything up for us. On top of all that, I forgot my plates, cups, wine opener, napkin... Pretty much everything at home! And she dug around to find all of that for us. She really went out of her way to assist us and explain the best way to paint our items. After four hours of painting and laughter, we left! I seriously can not WAIT to go back!!!!! It beat out every other place in Kentuckiana that I have visited to do this.
