There are so many pieces of pottery to choose from. Everything from kitchenware to holiday items, to potted plants. The choices of colors are endless. Its BYOB, so we enjoyed a few sips of wine and painted, and it was very relaxing! Once you are done painting your piece, you will get it back within 2-3 weeks after it has been cured. Will definitely come back here!

She has a great sense of pacing and gives participants autonomy to express their own touches to pieces. She gave me really helpful pointers as it was my first time doing a class and I loved how she demonstrated on her own plate to show me how to blend colors if I wanted to and did not simply do it for me. If you are 21+, they are very accommodating with BYOB providing ice, glasses, and OJ for mimosas! Whether it's a group of friends, galentines, or date night, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

My friend and I had so much fun painting at their Fluorescent Friday/Blacklight: Midnight Glow…read moreevent! Our instructor was really sweet and gave us helpful suggestions to improve our paintings. The owner was super friendly too! I loved how he shared some history about the building. He said Al Capone produced bootlegged alcohol there, and that a burn mark on one of the wooden beams is actually from that time! I thought that was so interesting. He also did a mini trivia game, and the winner got one of the instructor's paintings. I won! I got a really cool painting that's now displayed on my bookshelf. I loved the overall atmosphere and how friendly everyone was at this location. My friend and I are already planning to come back to try another painting style!

I felt the atmosphere to be warm and accepting, accommodating those with little experience and those who spend their lives being creative. It was a perfect balance of informational, historical and hands on Glass work. All my questions were thoroughly answered and I left feeling inspired and eager to utilize what I learned. I would recommend this school to any and all. An added bonus is the eclectic neighborhood, warm and charming teacher, Lydia, inclusive atmosphere and creative vibe that persisted throughout the class.

My Step-daughter and I bought a package and it was reasonable for all the services that Rita provided. She is welcoming, funny and a very good teacher (when you need it). I had never taken a painting class before and her encouragement and help had boosted my confidence as I have learned. So grateful we found Rita - I couldn't imagine taking classes anywhere else. We will be signing up for another package after this one. Highly recommend

Or at least not cheap -People like me with no color coordination may have a hard time picking colors they feel comfortable with -Not a fan of the parking lot, but that's a small gripe Bottom Line: -Worth the experience and willing to come back with friends. 5 Star because....

However, I sent my mom to Linda's to buy a new machine in the mid 80s. That machine is still alive and well. Since then, I moved back to the area. I am now addicted to Linda's all over again. I have purchased new high-end machines. My sister and sister-in-law have both done the same. The staff is lovely. Linda and her daughters are just the best. I recommend Linda's for sewing, quilting, and embroidery; everything. If they don't have it, they will find it for you.
