He took on the project, sent progress notes and knocked it out of the park with vintage glazes and even watched the film for inspiration. It's truly a work of art and the recipient cried upon opening it. I can't thank him enough for this gift of his talent and will be taking some classes in the future. Top. Notch.

The place is very colorful and cheerful in spirit. The employees check in with you to guide you through everything, give you pointers, and check in if you need anything at all. I had a blast creating this painting of my precious cat, Cai! (Before and after pictured below.) I appreciate the transparent pricing structure and the ability to come back and finish your piece. It was much easier for a walk in visit than Color Me Mine in Plano, (which last I visited there you absolutely needed a reservation and they will (very kindly) push you out the door once your reserved time runs out). Getting a reservation here would still be needed with a bigger party or at more crowded times. The vibe here is very welcoming for creative spirits. Highly recommend! Five stars all around.

I've been twice and had a great time both instances. They are BYOB and have snacks available for purchase. I've never struggled to find a table, but it does get busy on the weekends! -1 star because -Unlike Color Me Mine, the employees bring you paint (up to 6 colors per person), and during busy hours, you have to wait for a while to get a refill/anything if needed -There is a color in the blue section that shows as a gorgeous blue (on the pencil holder you can see end-product colors on), but really turns out more purple post-fire. I think it's 54? I wouldn't have picked it for my mug the first time I went if I had known the color would change -I asked someone working if I could get something to draw really fine white lines. She gave me a squeeze bottle that came out really thick. I saw others bottle had a thin metal piece coming from the top, but she refused to let me use that because it was "too hard to take off" from another bottle. To me, it just felt like she didn't want to put in the effort to help me Overall, it's a lot of fun! The studio fee is $8 per person, but 2x a week they have deals to save on this.
