Took a 6 week beginner class and loved it. My friend invited me along to try it and I'm always…read morelooking for new hobbies and side quests so I thought this would be fun. You arrive five minutes before class start time which is when they unlock the doors. You then spend about 5 to 10 minutes getting your wheel and work station set up. Cleanup usually take 20-30 minutes if it was a day you were throwing. My instructor was Avery and she was very beginner friendly and attentive. If you happen to miss a class it's very easy to reschedule with your instructor and attend either an open studio session or another instructors class on a different day. The 6 week class also includes 2 open studio sessions which I used as the final step to glaze my pieces before firing. They have membership options for those who are experienced and sessions everyday of the week. Overall had so much fun and it was interesting seeing the entire process and was rewarding to finally have the finished pieces after 6 weeks. I will definetly encourage my friends to try it out and might try another session in the future. Shoutout to Lydia who runs the open studio Saturdays. She is very knowledgeable and kind and even helped me pick out colors for glazing.

The place is a nice feel art place. It is actually what I imagined if I have an art studio. The place is clean and neat. Our teacher Daniel is great. She is very patient and knowledgeable. She explains it easy for us beginners to understand. Then she helps each of us to somehow achieve what we imagine. She appreciates all efforts and makes us believe in our art work. She is non judgmental so we want to make our own idea into a product. We even get to clean our own wheel and area like a "real potter". We learned a lot from this class that makes us want to come back and be better. We will comeback for sure. Thank you for a great experience Dragonfly.

We went here for the first time for my daughter birthday back in 2023. With the price I was…read moreexpecting to actually make the pottery and then paint it. However that wasn't the case. It was overpriced, already made pottery for you to paint. Although it was overpriced, I will say it was very therapeutic and we enjoyed ourselves. We returned again in 2024, but this time for a homeschool pottery class. I absolutely love that they have planned days for homeschoolers to come in and create different projects. The pricing for that was better and again the kids enjoyed themselves.. The owner and other ladies were kind during both of our interactions. I recommend visiting this place solo or with a group for some therapeutic fun. Recommended

There were great options to choose from to paint and they have some other activities as well. Jessica was the lovely lady who helped us and gave great information and instructions. They had a lot of different tools and techniques that I hadn't seen before. I also really appreciated that they encouraged us to take the bottles of paint needed to our table. A previous place I had gone to, filled our palettes for us and told us to ask for more if needed which was very frequent and difficult when it was busy. Anyways, we got our mugs and our paint and began to art! We had a great time and felt no pressure to get finished quickly. I am looking forward to seeing our finished prod

I'm so glad that we have a studio like this close to our place. We went here for my daughter's birthday party and they had a complete blast. Not necessarily my thing, but hey, I'm just the guy fronting the bill for a happy child. The pricing was very fair in my opinion and they did a great job of ensuring all the kids had fun and were coordinated (tough) in their work. The facility was quaint and just enough to be perfect for hosting the event and allowing customers to come in. I'm sure we'll be back but the first line of my review was told to me by the person working. As a married couple always on the hunt for date night activities, this is definitely on the radar. :) Food Taste: n/a Overall Service: 5 Value of food to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no

Potts N Paints offers 2 locations - VB and Chesapeake. This location is convenienty located in a strip shopping center near Lynnhaven Mall with ample parking. The space is huge with lots of private tables. They have a huge selection of pottery with prices ranging based on size and a ton of tools to use - not just the standard brushes. On this visit though, my daughter wanted to splatter paint. There is a separate room for getting - literally - as messy as you want. A blank canvas welcomes creativity! Once suited up with a poncho, goggles and shoe covers, it's a free for all. You can even slingshot paint-soaked sponges! The even have a bicycle-powered splatter table to make cool centrifuge designs. It's a great spot to let the imagination run wild. It's a little pricey at $50/canvas but it made for great memories for my little girl. And she has a long-lasting memento to hang on her wall. Staff was so kind and helpful during our visit, offering instruction and guidance when needed. It's also a great place to consider hosting a birthday party, girls outing, team building event, etc. This is a fun place to spend an hour or two!

There are endless options of projects to make. You do not need to be creative or an artist or have any kinds of skill. You just need to be willing to make something. OUR group was all skill levels from no skill to totally skilled. We all had a blast. This is not your typical ceramic pots and paint anymore. It is AWESOME!!! Things they offer. *Pottery-- they offer a huge wall of various bisque and everything that you can think of including glazes, open paint bar, stamps, stencils and paint pens. They also fire the pieces after you glaze them. So you paint them and leave them to get fired and then you pick them up after the items are ready. *Canvas--You can pick any size and pick whatever design you want to paint. They have predrawn canvases available, Or you can schedule a class. They have an open paint bar. *Clay--They have all kinds of tools to work with clay for hand-building. They also offer Pottery Wheel sessions. *Glass fusing art--They have a wonderful assortment of colors and types of glass to make a completed glass fused project. *Mosaics--they have a pretty good selection of tile and colors and wood shapes to complete a project. The best part about POTTS N PAINTS is that you have endless options of things to choose from. One person can choose glass fusing art and another person can choose to paint a ceramic plate . You are not stuck making all the same thing. Like I said you have endless options. This is my new favorite place to hang out. Don't worry about getting messy. They have a wall of aprons to cover up your clothes. You can bring any drinks that you want even alcoholic drinks. For my husband I took him a beer because it was his birthday. And everyone needs a birthday beer(LOL) We opted to just walk in and make different projects but you can book parties and join classes. If you have questions like I did you can call or just walk in and find out how it all works. I'm totally in love with this place not only for all the super cool projects but because of the amazingly friendly and helpful staff. And they were playing really good music too.
