I'm not artistic but it's a really fun place to visit. A friend helped me to paint a special piece for my young neighbor and I made a water dish for my dog Lewis. The staff is super nice and very knowledgeable. read more

My girlfriend and I went here for a date and this place was such a cute spot. We walked in and the staff at the front gave us a quick rundown, and we were on to choosing our pieces we chose a mug a bowl and an axolotl. There is no time limit, and we were sat at a table where we started tracing and painting. You pay by the piece after you're done painting. After about a week and a half I received a call and were able to come in and pick it up. It was a little confusing because I think my name was only attached to one of the pieces but we were able to figure it out. Overall, I would recommend this place if you want a cute activity. read more

Painting here was so much fun!! We were welcomed when we walked in, no appointment needed. We selcted the pottery that we wanted to paint and the prices were clearly marked on most of the pieces. Next, we were given a table to sit at (4 of us) and the process was explained to us. We were able to pick whichever colors we wanted, up to 4 at a time, and switch them out as we wished. There were two 9 year olds with us, painting bowls, and because the place was set up so nicely, they needed very little help from their adults. After the painting, a paper is filled out with names and projects are paid for. We were told that they will be ready for pick up in 2 weeks. Several adults came and left while we were there and seemed to be regulars with different projects. All in all, this was a fun way to spend time with friends. read more

We had a great family night painting pottery. Posh paint is a great idea for a family night out. We have done this a few times with our kids and it is always enjoyable. There are lots of items to choose from and they keep a nice rotating stock of seasonal items. The staff is friendly and helpful. This outing can get a bit pricey. It would be nice to have more smaller items to choose from. Especially those that are easy for younger kids to paint. read more

I took my 10 year old daughter here for a birthday party a few weeks ago. Everything seemed to be very organized. We werent rushed out even though the party ran over the allotted time. The workers were very helpful and even did a demonstration of how they use the kiln for whoever was interested. The selection of pottery seemed adequate. They did have a table of non party customers in there with us but they didnt seem to be bothered by us nor were we of them. The kids items were glazed and ready for pick up by the party host the following week. read more

So glad I found this place! The owner, Lana and her staff were amazing. Its a small place locally owned family place that you can either throw pottery or paint pieces already out. My sisters and I made an appt to throw pottery. The experience itself was amazing. 2 of us never did it before and Lana was our instructor was very informative and attentive even with them being incredibly busy. Her attention to detail was impeccable. We all really enjoyed our experience and look forward to going back to paint our pieces in a few weeks. If you get the opportunity to visit I definately recommend it! read more

I was so disappointed with this place. It is clear that they are more concerned about making a quick buck than providing quality services. I was given old, lumpy paint and old/horrible quality paint brushes to paint with. When I got my pieces, there were several issues: 1. The paint quality was terrible, even after following their instructions to apply 3 coats. 2. The bottom of one of my pieces had not been glazed. It was still rough pottery in its' original form. 3. They did not put the eyes on my pieces like they stated they would. Bottom Line: Would I return? N-O....NO!!! I have been to higher quality places in the past and Posh Paint Pub doesn't come close to comparing. Two thumbs down! read more

Very helpful staff but NONE wore masks. I should have asked them about masks but I generally did not feel safe here. UPDATE 2 weeks later: I was told that there is curbside pickup. Knowing that the staff didn't wear masks when was there last, I decided to call so I didn't have to go inside. I waited outside in my car and called twice to do curbside pickup. No one picked up the phone. I knew they were open, so I went inside, hoping the staff would wear a mask. Once again, no mask worn by the staff. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience today. I booked a class for my mom, my daughters 8 ,8,13 and myself to "throw some clay". It was fabulous, the owner along with another instructor was there, they gave a demonstration, then each of us had our own wheel and clay and as the older ones worked their clay they worked with the 2, 8 year olds. They were very patient, and encouraging to all of us and we all had the best time. I can't wait to see our finished product and do this again. I seriously would love to take one of their adult classes. read more

Though I will definitely return because I love to paint and it's awesome that you can just walk in, there are several issues. Some which have already been mentioned, but I will say again. I went at 4pm on a Thursday afternoon and brought my daughter who is 3 months shy of being 3 years old. I called ahead earlier in the day to make sure that it was ok to bring a toddler and they said yes. I was greeted upon entering and they told me to pick some pieces and we will get started. It's a little cramped in the store and I didn't get to see a bunch of the pieces in the corner because there was a group of ladies painting. There are a few pieces under $10.00. My daughter picked out her pieces. One was a lion about 2.5-3" tall and one was the letter N that was about 3.5" tall. I picked a 6" square tile and a small plate. The total for all of these items was $46. Paint, brushes, and the "firing fee" are all included into the price. When we were done picking out items, I brought them to the checkout desk and stood there for a little while with no response (only 2-3 minutes). They then told me that we'd pay after finishing the pieces. When we sat down, a young girl brought us a paper. You list your name, email and phone number (so they can call/email to pick up items)and the pieces you are painting and who is painting them. There are also numbers 1-4 with blanks next to them to write the number of the colors you'd like to paint with. I thought this would be the only colors I could use, but I found out later (watching someone else) that they don't care if you switch out colors or grab additional colors. I had four pieces and picked 16 different colors total to be on the safe side. I only used about 1/2. Thankfully, there is a rectangle, glazed plate with examples of each color (they are numbered) and how they look after they are glazed. Without this I would've chosen WAY different colors. For example, a dark purple #34 on the plate (finished with glaze) looked light greyish purple in the container. On the paintbrush holders, there are examples of how light colors look painted over darker colors and vise versa. They suggest dark colors be done after light colors. They also show examples of what a color will look like if painted with 1, 2, or 3 coats of paint. The paintbrushes themselves have definitely seen better days.There was a variety of widths. If you want a very fine brush for details, ask for the "secret stash" of brushes. They have them in a mug above the coffee maker. There is a keurig machine with coffee available for $1, not k cups, a refillable kcup with folgers. Chips are also available for purchase. They have candy machines that you get a little palm sized amount of skittles for 25 cents. Or gumballs. The m& m machine was empty. When we sat down, a young girl approached us (high school age) and gave us a little run down. Told us about applying multiple coats of paint and showed me the examples on the paint brush cup. She explained the sheet to us and showed me what to fill out. Also explained to us that it's better to paint with dry brushes (towels provided) and to dip brushes in water and dry after switching colors. We sat down to paint and went to town. My daughter made a MESS, luckily the paint comes off skin and surfaces quickly with just water. They do have baby wipes (i brought some anyway) and a bathroom to wash up. She paints paper and canvas at home, but we've never painted a figure. She definitely needed more supervision than i anticipated. Also, I did not see the aprons hanging in the doorway next to the shelf with the paint until we were both covered with paint. I wish they would've offered us one prior to painting...especially my toddler. They said that it doesn't stain, we will see. I asked questions twice while painting and they were very sweet and helped me to figure out how to best execute my ideas. I had something in mind, but didn't realize the light paint doesn't show up over dark, etc rules as it was my first time painting. We figured it out though. One time it did take a little bit to get someones attention. I will say that they were working the entire time. Because there were so many coats of paint, my salad plate took me about an hour. I am used to painting on canvas or cardstock and with acrylic paint I am able to add a lot of detail, shadows, and variation in colors. For example, my plate was a globe (that was how I was painting it), so I was trying to added some darker and lighter blue on the plate to make it more realistic. It doesn't work like it does on canvas or paper. As toddlers do, mine got antsy after she finished rather quickly. I hoped that they would've interacted with her more while she was painting. It would've helped me to concentrate, but I understand that's not their job. I used her hand to make prints on the plate. I loved how my piece came out. My daughter had fun. I will come back both with and without my daughter. Overall positive! Total was 2 hours. read more

We had a great experience here for the birthday party- lovely people, the craft selection, quality and experience were excellent. They were very patient with the girlsnif they asked for a different color (though the colors they chose for us were beautiful). They were also good about helping the girls match the right color for what they wanted it to look like after it was glazed (they are much lighter before). the only negative I can think of is that the floor hadn't been swept before our arrival. Also a bit of advice if you do a birthday party, plan an activity for the kids who finish quickly. read more

Website says that they are open Monday through Friday for walkins, no appointment needed. Supposedly, they open at 10 AM. I showed up at 10:40 after A 30 minute plus drive to find them closed. There is no sign saying when or if they will reopen. Nothing posted on the website or on their phone message. My advice would be to call before coming to make sure they are actually open. This was a complete waste of a morning. read more

Amazing I am a kid and it was amazing because they have pottery and panting and then cute sculptures to paint

The owner and staff are very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable about their paints. I came in with a bunch of friends from out of town the Saturday night before Easter, and not only did the accomodate us, they let us pick the music, helped the 10 yr old pick a pottery piece, and were very welcoming. Later, when I came back, I ended up not only picking up the pieces my guests and I painted, but also picking up a bunch of really cute Saints and fleur de lis pieces for my mom, as well as a totally adorable bowl/organizer that I'm using to keep jewelry in. They have a rack outside of pre-painted pieces for 3 dollars. Not only is it super cute, it's locally owned, which is pretty fabulous. read more

My daughter and I had our first visit yesterday and truly enjoyed it! I was looking for something fun to do and since she loves painting so much I figured we'd give this a try. I googled "pottery paint" and the Posh Paint Pub pulled up. I loved the photos so I decided to give it a try. It's a small space, nice and intimate. They had a really nice selection. Prices were a little high, but that's your piece, paint, and for it to be set. All in all it was $25 for an experience. Not bad. The young lady working was extremely sweet, kind, and welcoming. My daughter is 3, so she was very patient and accommodating. We picked out our pieces, my daughter picked out a unicorn and I picked out a small cherub. Then you pick your paints. And the young lady brought us containers of the paint. Next time I'll probably ask if we could just pour a little paint in a plate or something because she ended up mixing a little green into the yellow. But their employee was really sweet about it and assured me all is well. My little girl ended up LOVING it and so did I. I can't wait to see how they turn out. It truly was a fun, pleasant experience. They had said our pieces would be ready in 7-10 days. But I can't wait to go back and paint more! read more

My son and I have come here several times throughout the years from the time he was a little guy up through now that he is a teenager. It's always a fun, relaxed activity with the bonus of a great takeaway moment that we can use at home or give as a gift. I wish we could find the time to go more often! read more

The service gets this place 5 stars for sure. The prices were comparable to other pottery painting prices and they have the Yelp deal which you should definitely get! My little one and I got there around 7 and they close at 8. Little bit wasn't done until around 8:30 but the girl working never rushed us. She didn't even mention that it was past 8. She offered to send us home with some paints to finish up when I realized it was 8:15 and apologized. She helped my kiddo with the the detailed parts and gave her advice on how to do it herself. She was upset patient and helpful. Wish I had gotten her name. read more

Very sweet staff. We enjoyed painting Christmas items here. One of the girls dropped one of my ornaments when I went for pick up. She was very apologetic and she gave me another ornament with paint and brushes to have it repainted and returned. She rushed to fire it for us. Accidents happen sometimes but the staff was very concerned to make it right! We will go back! This is a nice place to make a sentimental and special gift for a loved one! read more

I was really disappointed when our local paint your own pottery place closed down in slidell. We saw this one online and decided to take my son, niece and nephew. We were very excited to go and create some gifts. Upon entrance there was very little greeting and luckily we were familiar with how these places work as there was no direction. I was surprised by the price of the pottery as they clearly have a huge profit margin. There were pieces that I have painted before for $6 that they are charging $25. I understand making a profit but that's ridiculous. When we had called before going the lady told us that pieces started at $5. That's true but those pieces are the size of your thumb. We started painting and we were given no assistance. I'm used to places where you take interest in your customers but they never once came over to see how the children were doing, give any help or offer encouragement. The owner was busy chatting away with her staff and eating her chips. I heard people leave without being told goodbye or have a nice day. A lady came in with her daughter and even though the owner was at the front with an employee she took a long time to greet the customer. This place was really disappointing and I will be looking for an alternative. This place my be okay if you prebook for a group but otherwise don't bother as your business isn't appreciated. read more

I'm not sure what kind of an experience the other two reviewers had, but I cannot say enough wonderful things about Posh Paint Pub! Rather than rude or inattentive, the employees were helpful without being intrusive. I'm not sure why Elaine M. needed so much help getting started; the store is small, and it is easy to see where the pottery and paint are located. It is also obvious where to sit to begin painting. The first time I went, I was greeted at the door and asked if I was familiar with the store. I said no, and I was immediately led to the pottery and paint (again, I easily would have found these myself). The employee helped me set up my supplies at one of the painting tables and gave me advice about getting started, especially how to paint evenly and achieve the shade of color I wanted. She even asked if I was enjoying the music or if I would like for her to change the radio station. So thoughtful! As I hadn't been to the shop before, I was unaware of the turnaround time on a piece of pottery. I thought that they fired it right after you finished, but they usually have a two-week turnaround and call you when your piece of pottery is ready. I had painted a gift for a bridal shower, which I needed that weekend. The shop was so understanding and offered to have it ready for me the next day. They called as soon as it was ready. The next time I went to the shop, I was greeted the same way. I said that I had been there before and was familiar with the setup, so the employee said, "Great! Let me know if you need anything!" She left me to my painting rather than bothering me every five minutes to see if I needed anything. Wonderful place! Highly recommended! read more

I went in this past Saturday with my husband and 18 month old to make a Santa plate and ornament. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped me with ideas and suggestions. They also helped us get our son's hand on the plate. Everything we made came out awesome. It was such a god experience. We have been to other laces where they offer no assistance and I was worried about trying a new place out. Even with them having a birthday party going on and other customers I never felt rushed or felt like they weren't helpful. Would def go back and recommend them to anyone I know. read more

This week, my children and I visited our local Posh Paint Pub. We were immediately greeted by the warmest of smiles from one of the guys that worked there, which we returned without hesitation. There were some ups and downs. The staff were very help in assisting us with designing our paintings and our pottery. We did a family platter with all of our handprints. The lady did the design for us along with the writing on the platter, and she made it look wonderful. Our kids made alot of noise, but Posh Paint Pub was still accommodating and patient with our family. The time before, we did a selection of figurines and various shapes... ie cats, dogs, turtle. The staff then put eyes on the pieces for us and made the animals come to life. Kate was our paintress lol. She was great. She was very helpful and was great at painting the kid's hands for their handprints. Posh Paint Pub provides a great atmosphere for children of all ages, even the children in us adults. You will not be disappointed!!! 5 out of 5 read more

Going to The Posh Paint Pub has been one of the most adventurous outings I've ever experienced within the realms of Metairie. It is especially fun for all ages and levels of experience. I agree that the girls (and oddly, one boy) do not hover over their customers, but it is much less of a nuisance when no one shadows over every brush stroke I make. I'd much rather raise my hand like a school child for help than having the constant and very repetitive question, "Do you need help? Do You Need Help?" They're obviously very busy yet they never hesitate to stop and offer advice when it's needed. Every time I visit "The Shop" (cute, right?) the employees have always explained and elaborated briefly yet informatively on where all the pottery and supplies are--which is pretty much, RIGHT IN YOUR FACE. They wouldn't proclaim it as a "Do it Yourself Pottery Studio" if it was not functionally reasonable for you to "do it yourself". I'm rather confused about how some people need to have their hand held every step of the way. These people must be questionably anal. I however suggest that you enjoy your time when you're out to spend money for a fun time and not focus on such irrelevant idiosyncratic issues such as "There's too much pottery to even pick from that I can barely single out one in front of me because I'm just so overwhelmed at how glorious this place truly is!" I've had a birthday party for my daughter as well as attended several parties. Apparently it's fairly popular as a local pottery studio and known for being quite fantastic. I greatly enjoyed the service of the employees as they were incredibly patient with the kids and very insightful on how to paint the piece as effectively as possible with absolutely no problems involved. I was lucky enough to have the one teenage boy oblige me with my questions as he was more than willing and helpful to spend the time with my kids and I to answer all of our questions in a manner that was kind, charming, and very eager to be of use for our service. I was NOT born with the pottery painting knowledge as one could suggest (though I'm not so sure of how valid that suggestion would be), but I have been a returning customer to their pottery studio and have gained more knowledge of the way it works--which is really self-explanatory--and I have personally developed more skill over time as I have learned new things (whether it be interesting things or not--I really don't care about the kiln's temperature, lol) each time I came. I LOVE coming to the Posh Paint Pub. It is a warm and friendly environment and I always enjoy taking home a hand painted masterpiece made by "who?"--one would ask. Myself. And Yourself. I highly recommend this place to everyone. 5 stars coming from a VERY satisfied customer. read more

If you dont have fun here it could have something to do with your approach or attitude. My family loves it. I take my kids, my mother takes my kids, we have had a party here. Sometimes you have to ask for help and when I do I get it. They dont hover over you but if you ask for something they are very sweet and helpful. The owner has done nothing but be upbeat and nice when we have been there which has been often. I really recommend it. My girls love it. read more

We brought our own food and drink and had a great time!! We will definitely be back in the near future!! read more
