We have been going here for many years, since my girls were 4 and 0, to 12 and 8. There are many pieces we have glazed, but as a parent, my favorite are these simple plates that they use for breakfast. Time is a thief, but at least we have some good memories! read more

Eye Candy Art Studio - 8 years of tradition going to Eye Candy Art Studio - Paint & Sip Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I have been to Eye Candy Art Studio before for my daughter's birthday party and absolutely loved it, so I already knew it was a special place. Recently, I came back for a Galentine's pottery night with a friend, and WOW! It was SO much fun and surprisingly therapeutic. It was the perfect mom's night out. We laughed nonstop, got creative, relaxed, and even made some new friends along the way. The energy in the studio is just amazing, very welcoming, positive, and full of good vibes. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a girls' night, or just want to try something creative for yourself, this place is such a gem. I can't wait to go back and take more classes! read more

Well this is fun!! Who doesn't love relaxing with some paint, brushes, creative thoughts, good music & great company??!! We have painted many times, but 1st time at Eye Candy. We love Duluth, GA & this is right in the heart! Plenty of street or lot parking. Most, if not all free! Stroll on in, no reservations, but... there may be a wait list. Lots to do while you wait around the area. Shops, restaurants, outdoor seating. Many choices, all prices! Seasonals, basics, ornaments, etc. Pic your piece, choose paint & tools, settle in for a while. I understand you can bring your own bevies (adult too), but know there is not a lot of space when everyone is working. It's sort of tight in there! Staff is so nice & will help answer all questions. Happy Painting!! Go Crazy! I will post after pics when I get them back, but here are our befores... love them!! read more

A really fun experience and very reasonably priced. It was packed when we stopped by Saturday afternoon (unfortunately no reservations). The staff was very attentive despite it being a busy night. They stopped by our table to refill paint and provided extra brushes per request. The paint station with all the paint and brushes was also neatly organized. If you're looking for something fun to do, I recommend stopping by eye candy art studio. I've already recommended this place to multiple people and have brought multiple friends with me too. read more

My friend and I came here two weeks ago to paint pieces that we chose and then came back to pick them up today. We loved our experience! The finished product came out a lot better than we anticipated. The items came out very colorful. There are lots of items to choose from that you can paint and plenty of paint colors. My only suggestion would be to possibly provide some more thinner paint brushes in addition to the thicker ones that already are there. It was kinda difficult to paint the small areas on our items. But still there was a lot of paintbrushes to choose from and it worked out just fine. The space inside the art studio is warm and inviting, and the workers are very friendly. This is an awesome weekend activity that is outside of regular bar and restaurant visits! We are planning on coming back. read more

Had such an amazing time at Eye Candy Art Studio! I was here as a part of an event so we were in their bigger space but they also have a walk-in studio located in the heart of downtown Duluth. I would definitely recommend you drop by and check this place out! It's perfect for an outing with friends, as a date or even a solo adventure. I personally found the experience very therapeutic. The host is also friendly and accommodating. She walked us through the entire process, giving us helpful tips and encouraged us to let the creative juices flow. Cant wait to come back! read more

Lovely studio I recently visited. I had a great time and would recommend checking this spot out for different types of art, including ceramic painting! read more

A cute little pottery painting shop located in the heart of downtown Duluth! We didn't make reservations (2 people), just walked in and wanted to have some fun art time. Staffs were attentive and answered all of our questions. They also offer wine glass + canvas painting and I saw some people brought in their own alcohols so it's BYOB i think (just double check again with them). They have a variety of pottery selections for you to choose from: ornaments, cups, plates, decor items, etc. Prices vary depends on the pottery figure that you pick: ranging from $10 to around $100 (highest price that I could remember). Ours were $28 for the plate and $26 for the mug. They have those Xmas trees that they will attach lights into them for you after glazing (a little bit on the pricier side, maybe $50-80 but I think it's gonna be worth it!!!) Paint fees are already included and come in unlimited amount of fills (some special types of paint would cost $3 extra but I think their basic options are already good!). You would paint your item, leave it there for them to glaze and come back in 7-10 days to pick it up. I think the idea is really cool and this place is a wholesome date spot, family/friends hangout! We came on a new year's eve weekend (as a couple date) and we saw many parents taking their kids there, other couple dates and friends hangouts. Will definitely come back to for those Xmas trees one day. They have a separate location not too far down the road for groups/birthday parties if you want to book a reservation for big groups. **Will update the [after] pictures once I pick up the glazed products :) ** read more

What an amazingly fun activity! All the materials are prep and ready. The class teacher Ashley is simply awesome and helped me to create my own one of a kind mug. This was a gift, Daughter Father activity. A great night that doesn't end here. In two weeks we get to return to the studio to paint our creations! More to come... read more

Eye candy art studios is truly one of my favorite shops on this planet! All of the employees are so kind, helpful & hard working. My boyfriend & I had the pleasure of coming in on multiple occasions & we painted an adorable snail shaped pot plus a few ornaments for Christmas & we could not have had a better experience. They have so much unique pottery to choose from, as well as an option to paint canvases if that's not your vibe! I really can't recommend this place enough... plus you get to support a small business! The location is also wonderful & there's lots of restaurants nearby if you want a snack between painting! We will cherish our pottery forever & can't wait to come back :) read more

I am ONLY giving this Art Studio 3 stars because the Yelp page and website are very misleading regarding the pricing of the actual pottery. They say the average price is between $18 and $40. This is very misleading unless your intention is to come in to paint something very small. If you want to come in to paint a mug, a small box or a plate or something like this then plan on paying between $30 - $50+. Like I said, this is the only reason I give them 3 stars. I came in with a budget and ended up spending probably 30% more than I planned. I had 2 girls with me who were very excited so going home was not really an option. The service and instruction was excellent as well as the color choices and materials. Their willingness to help was also very good. For that I give them 5 Stars. read more

Super cute little studio located in downtown Duluth. Super cute location - there was a theater across the street, food truck, stores and a little playground. Limited street parking. Luckily I went on Sunday so I didn't have to pay. The studio was soooo cute. The worker was nice and gave us the overview of how to do things. Gave us time to look around and select our pottery piece to paint. The items were very detailed and prices ranged from $18 to $80 (was the highest I seen). Of course the bigger, cuter items were more expensive. They had some holiday pieces too for Christmas and Halloween. I went with my kids. After selecting our pieces we were told how to get our paint and free to paint. We didn't feel rushed or hovered over. The kids had a blast and I did too. Afterwards you pay. And they'd text you when it was ready to pick up within 2 weeks. They did have 1 bathroom to use. And outside the store - canvas paintings - I guess items people had completed and didn't come get was out for sale. For 3 items our total was $75. I'd recommend for something different to do - solo, family, fate night etc. read more

What a great time we had! A birthday celebration with friends made perfect with painted pottery. Staff were friendly and helpful and their pottery selection ranged from eclectic artful pieces to mugs to planters to Christmas decor! They set a table apart for us, walked us through the paints available to choose from and the process. And they even had a kids' painting camp taking place in the adjoining room while we were there. Top notch and can see why they've won Best of Gwinnett 4 years running!! read more

I took my 9-year-old daughter here when visiting my parents from out of state. We both loved the experience! The selection of pottery to paint was much larger than a similar studio back home in California. The staff are very friendly and helpful. In addition, the location in quaint downtown Duluth is LOVELY. We happened to go on an afternoon when a summer concert was going to happen in the evening, so we got treats from a few food trucks and watched the band warm up after we painted. read more

An easy 5 stars for me! Cassidy and Chelsea are the most wonderful people I've spoken to in recent memory, such beautiful ladies, inside and out! Very kind and patient with me the entire time! They deserve the world and then some! Best experience, will be back! read more

We did our child's birthday party here. It's a great place to get people together to bring out their artistic side. I personally didn't do any painting, but the kids' items came out cute. It's not a huge place, so definitely call first if you are bringing a group of people. And it's right next door to a bunch of good restaurants. read more

My friend likes art and I wanted to do an art related activity with her. She loved it so much. The staff was very helpful and informative but also concise. It was a busy day and they managed the seating well. All of the paint bottles were at least half full and I loved the variety of colors, brushes, items to paint, etc. I also loved that no appointments were needed and you could stay as long as you wanted. We all painted mugs and were told they would take 7-10 days to be ready. It was only 4! They came out very nicely. read more

Had a great time here at the eye candy studio! A fair amount of choices on picking your ceramics and prices comparable to other art studios. I really like the area on Main Street with lots of restaurants this place just seems to fit in nicely. They have classes and do other activities such as canvas painting so the prices range from cheap to over $100. Takes about a week to get your finished masterpiece We look forward to coming back during the year to do some more art read more

Our visiting was satisfying. Cannot wait to see our results after a week. Definitely come back again! The staffs are friendly and instructs through everything well since this is our first time. read more

Hands down the best place to paint your own pottery! The owner, Ashley, is very sweet and personable! We found this studio in November of 2013, where we had my daughter"s 12th birthday party. We had such a great time, so much so, we had her 13th birthday party here as well. I've since held a bridal shower here and have painted every ceramic owl and cat that comes through her doors. Whenever I come in to Eye Candy, I'm made to feel like a friend and not just a customer! I will continue to visit Eye Candy Art studio for years to come! read more

Very cute art studio and great location! I went here with my friend a few weeks ago and had lots of fun! I would definitely recommend! Only issue was they never texted me to let me know the pieces were ready to be picked up, so I had to call, but other than that, great experience! Staff were very nice and informative too! read more

My first time and I LOVED it here! At first I thought we made the pottery from scratch but actually it's already made and all you have to do it paint it! The price of the item you choose to paint includes the price of the paint and the price for the item. Great deal and I will be back read more

Celebrated my daughter's 11th birthday canvas-painting party here and everything was perfect! I first noticed they had a cute personalized sign by the front door (and in our party area) welcoming my daughter and her guests in! Yes, the space inside is small but the area they designated for our party was in the back and perfect for us (Total of 7 kids). Chelsea contacted me ahead of time to get all the party details and answer my questions. She was super helpful, kind, and wonderful with the kids! My daughter and her friends loved every moment and even though one of the parents was late picking up their child (they close at 6pm on Sunday), we never felt rushed to leave. Thank you for your amazing hospitality and making my daughter's birthday so special!!! read more

Eye Candy Art Studio - Enjoying ourselves at our Christmas painting party! - Paint & Sip Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Eye Candy Art Studio, a local art studio located in picturesque little Downtown Duluth does wonders for those with the love of art! This is a BYOB paint your own pottery and canvas studio. The process works as such: you walk in (no appointment necessary) and can either choose a canvas or piece of already made pottery to paint. All the prices are written on the bottom of the pieces and the price includes the cost of supplies and glazing the pottery, which the owner, Ashley, does on her own time. One of the employees will then quickly run through the basic instructions with you, then you're off to paint! I love this spot because it runs local, helps out with art scene in Downtown Duluth, is fair-priced, and truly provides an entertaining and relaxing opportunity to hang out with friends, family, or significant others unique from basic dates like eating out, going to the movies, etc. I'd highly recommend Eye Candy to anyone of any age, gender, etc. The owner is super personable and passionate about her work and shows that to the painters who come in! Tips: they have special events like classes, summer camps, date night, art festivals, etc. located on their website. You can bring your own drinks (including alcohol if above 21) or food so it's great to paint and dine at the same time. You can also come in to paint and if you can't finish your piece in time, the studio wraps it up for you, and you can come back to finish painting! Overall, a sweet creative output located in a sweet little downtown. Would highly recommend! read more

I had my daughters 4th birthday here and it was great! Super cute! For birthdays, they have a big table in the back. They have an area for cake/food and also a table for presents. I totally wasn't expecting their side outside with "Happy Birthday Savannah"! I chose the plate painting package and it was great for the little ones. Great place for parties! read more

This is a cute pottery/canvas painting shop tucked into the Main Street of downtown Duluth. We had a wonderful afternoon with a large group of moms and kids, just painting pottery, having lunch, and hanging out. This place has a very straightforward format. Select your piece of pottery first, and the price marked on the bottom includes paint. After choosing your piece, select your paints, brushes and sponges, stencils, etc. and find a table to create your masterpiece. One of the moms called in advance to let the owners know there would be about 9 kids and their moms, and we had a large table in the front for ourselves to paint, and bring sandwiches/chips/drinks to have lunch while we worked. The prices are very reasonable, considering that paints are included and you aren't rushed from your spot. I even splurged for a $3 special crystal paint. The pieces are fired and you receive a call to pickup in about 7-10 days. I also learned they will ship your pieces anywhere. We will definitely come back! read more

We had so much fun at my daughter's paint party! Ashley was amazing with the kids. Would definitely recommend!

TOUR OF DULUTH (ART STUDIO) On our little tour of downtown Duluth, we stumbled upon this little studio. It is so cool!. It is a great place to take a date, a girlfriend, child or anyone with whom you enjoy spending quality time. You can go in without an appointment, select the pottery item that you would like to personalize, paint it and leave it to be fired. It takes about a week for the finished product to be ready. According to the owner, Ashley you may bring a glass of wine or dinner if you wish. I love this place because it was so quiet, you could actually have a meaningful conversation here. It is perfect for adults or children, groups or individuals. If you need a little stress relief, just grab a bottle of wine and start painting. They also have classes if you are interested in exploring your creative side. Cute studio, nice personable owner, great vibe= Winning! read more

If I could give more than five stars I would! We had an amazing experience at a birthday party for three year olds. Ashley and her staff facilitated the afternoon perfectly and fun was had by all. My son loved it and we will be back! read more

Ashley was very helpful is educating us on how to mix colors. She prepped us and set us up. When we asked for more direction, she was great about empowering us to draw on our creative side. We ran a little over the closing mark, but she cleaned up the studio while we wrapped up. Great and fun experience. Highly recommend. read more

We came on a Sunday morning right when it opened and were the first customers! So we had the whole place to ourselves and had great service. The instructions was detailed and lots of types of paints and colors were offered. Brushes, stencils, sponges, they have everything. They have all sorts of pottery- plates, cups, ornaments, seasonal specials, small animals, piggy banks, the list goes on. After we paint it, we just leave it on the table and the staff takes care of it, including cleaning. It was such an easy and relaxing experience. We get our pottery in about a week. We are sure to come back! We purchased a mug for $14 all inclusive for painting etc. Also a small whale plate for $14. Fair pricing, worth the fun we had. read more
