We had one of my daughter's birthday party at Michaels. We are so glad we celebrated one of her birthday parties here. From the beginning of our transaction until the end of the party, was excellent. The party host this sweet lady. I'm sorry I didn't get her name. She was excellent. She was a great host, teacher and artist. Thank you so much. We had 8 kids in our party and they did several arts and crafts project. At the end each guest had a goodie bag full of Michaels art materials as souvenir. The party is area was great because it's very private and in the back of the store. We have already recommended Michaels to all our social circles for birthday parties. It's guaranteed that everyone birthday celebrant and guests will have a wonderful time.

I recently completed the 4-week introductory pottery course and had a fantastic experience. The…read moreinstructors are incredibly patient and skilled at breaking down complex movements--like centering and pulling walls--into manageable steps that were easy for my brain to follow. The studio has a really wonderful, creative energy that I looked forward to every week. It served as a great 'sensory reset' and a way to focus purely on the tactile experience of the clay. Particularly seeing other members body of work. My only minor wish for the future would be a bit more shelf space for student projects! As I got more into the flow of creating, I found myself wishing there was more room to store work-in-progress pieces between sessions. Each purchase of a course provides access to membership hours where you can come in practice before the classes. They provide the base tools in a black case and if you need more clay it's $25. That being said, the quality of instruction and the community more than make up for it. I'm so happy with the projects I made and I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone looking for a new creative outlet! As a note there's a waiting list to become a member after completing the course. So don't hesitate!

They pointed me in the right direction when I was looking for age appropriate toys for my son. The store itself is very organized and it's easy to get around. There were so many options of toys and activities of all ages. Half of the store was also supplies and instruments for teachers. It was so fun to explore! I got my son a piano toy, a harmonica and a drill/screw toy. He loves them all! Forewarning, prices here are a little higher than what you would find near Amazon but they do have specials and sales. Plus you're supporting local! It was seriously so fun to take my son here and shop. I can't wait to return when he gets a little older to explore more of what they offer for older kiddos!

I called in a few times to make/change our reservation and each staff member that answered the phone was super kind and willing to accommodate. We were warmly welcomed when we came in and got a detailed run through of how painting at Color Me Mine works. We underestimated how long our projects would take, but the staff informed us that we could take our items home and come back at a later time to finish the painting, at no extra charge. The pickup process was just as smooth as CMM called about a week later and let me know exactly when my items had to be picked up by. I do think it can get a little pricey, especially if you plan to bring a larger party. Overall, I really enjoyed getting to be creative and will say that even if you're not very artistically talented, you'll still be able to have some fun and walk out with custom piece of pottery!

Biania is the sweetest and most patient teacher, and she took the time to make sure all of our pieces came out exactly how we wanted. We all appreciated her so much, and we each have our pieces proudly displayed in our homes.

She's created such a warm and welcoming community, and I'm so grateful to be part of it. It's honestly one of the highlights of my week!

DONT WAST YOUR TIME. We took a pottery class with Biana at the end of September/early October 2025…read more At first, she seemed kind and personable, and the initial class itself was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the experience after the class was very disappointing due to a lack of professionalism and communication. It took a long time and multiple attempts to reach her to schedule glazing. After we completed glazing, I reached out again on December 17, 2025, to follow up about picking up our pottery. I received no response--no call, no text--until today, January 14, 2026. When she finally responded this morning, she asked whether we had even done our glazing, which was frustrating given the long delay. I attempted to call to arrange picking up my pottery, even in its unfinished state, but was told she was closing her shop and that I would need to reach back later in the evening. When I expressed my concerns about how long this process had taken and the lack of communication, I was met with dismissive comments and was even told that I was being "dramatic." This was especially upsetting, as communication was prompt at the beginning when payment was required. Due to the ongoing delays and poor communication, I no longer wish to retrieve my pottery. I am writing this review to share my experience so others are aware before booking. I also noticed another review describing similar issues, and I wish I had read it beforehand. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this studio. Sign up with Clay and Play instead!
