The girls working were helpful and patient even though we were there at a busy time. One of them (Ellie I believe) helped my daughter with a marbling technique for her mug. They also recommended a speciality paint that made my piece look amazing (and I'm not very artistic ). The price was comparable to other pottery painting shops we've been too. My Christmas tree was around 40 and my daughter made a giant mug for 30ish. They have smaller items too.

My daughter and I went yesterday each painted very small pieces both about 3 inches in height and it was $45.99. That is ridiculous. They cited increasing overhead costs and labor costs. I understand that but it absolutely changes how often you can go. Just beware you will be spending a lot for very small pieces.

We had to figure it out ourselves as far as what to do first but we then saw in the table there are instructions. The manager/owner saw us and asked if we were pick up and we said no we are painting but then she never showed us what you do next. It was not the best customer service but we enjoyed painting here regardless. I complimented her on how much we liked it here. We will get our finished pottery in a few weeks. I'm excited! Thank you

I enjoy the selection here so it's unfortunate we will no longer be shopping here…read more Today we went to Hobby Lobby because they had a sale on "masters touch" art supplies. When we got there sure enough the "sale" flyers they had set out AND the sale signs hung up all said 40% masters touch (listing brushes, pads, sketch books, tube and jar paints, etc). So we loaded up and went to check out. After ringing us out the price was high so I said "this was all on sale". The cashier rudely said "no, that was last week"... I said the signs say it's on sale. So she called back and said they'd only honor it for brushes... which out of a bin full of supplies, we only had 2 brushes. Then she proceeded to type something in and did not in fact put the sale price on the brushes but on 2 of the cheapest items... one was a brush and the other a small sketch pad. Why??! This is frustrating. We drove 45 minutes to shop here and they won't honor the sales flyer THEY posted. On top of that the cashier was super rude. I work in customer service so I am overly polite and try to never be condescending. She was just plain rude the whole time. So... what can we do about it? I guess the only option left is to complain (yelp review) and "vote with our money" by not shopping here any more. TLDR: rude cashier and they don't honor their sales adds.
