They have plenty of items to pick from and the prices are all on the pieces. The service is good and they bring you the paint you need. The worker reminded us right at the 2 hour mark that we had to finish up and leave, or that we could take our pieces to go and bring them back. We decided to just stop our pieces and leave them as is. We came back a few weeks later to pick up our finished pieces. Overall a fun spot that I've been to a few times, but definitely not affordable as a regular hobby.

I came here for my friends birthday party and it is such a fun activity to do with a large group of…read morefriends! To be frank we had over 20 people in here and they also allow dogs! They just lost their liquor license so you can't drink alcohol but they accommodated us ordering pizza and a few non alcoholic beverages and we had a great time painting our pieces. I painted a side plate and that costs $30 and with fees it should be closer to $50! The employees were super helpful and refilled our paint whenever we asked and were helpful in the whole process and even gave me some filtered water for drinking at their station. Can't wait to grab my piece from them and see the final look!

I found Little Shop of Crafts while searching for a fun spot for my niece's sixth birthday, and it…read morewas a total hit! What really sealed the deal for me was the ability to paint and leave with your masterpiece on the very same day. It was super important for the kids to take home what they worked on; waiting a whole week for a pot to cure and dry is something we can save for a future birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed. There were other kids happily making soap, and the woman who greeted us kindly explained that we could pick whatever we wanted to paint. Once we selected our items, we paid and were set up at a table with paints, brushes, and an apron. I'm so glad she made sure we knew the paint didn't wash out of clothes. Pro-tip: Even if you're not painting, wear the apron. Trust me, your shirt will thank you for this advice! The kids had an absolute blast. It was so interactive, and once they finished, they had blow dryer stations so we could dry the paint. The best part? They took the painted items to the back and made them all shiny! This place is a definite hit. And I hear it's fun even for adults with no kids in tow. Girls' night, anyone? Sign me up!

I visited with my mom twice now, and I'm going to average the number of stars based on the two…read moreexperiences that I had. Fortunately, the number of stars that I had for each experience was five. The first time around I painted the Cinderella figure and my mother painted the pumpkin figure. The second time around we painted mugs. The two projects required two different types of paint. Unfortunately, the prices are kind of insane. The Cinderella figure was $49.99 plus tax, the pumpkin was $29.99 plus tax, and both mugs were $29.99 plus tax. Even though it was expensive I still had so much fun and everything I made came out looking great. Everything my mom made came out looking great. I can see myself coming back, and I can't wait to see what my pieces look like once they're out of the kiln.

That would have been fun! - I think some of the prices are affordable and some are not, I totally would pay $15 for a ring holder but I dont know If I would pay $48 for a bowl. So if you go keep in mind whats really worth it. - I believe is amazing how they allow the freedom to run wild for each person, but I would have appreciated more companionship from the "waitress" or at least for her to take a moment to guide us more, maybe there is a way where we can be guided over the phone with a video or something - I loved the space, it was all I thought it would be and is pretty spacious. Overall the experience was pretty good, I will be back and check out more of their menu!

This is my first time at the downtown Manhattan location. I had previously been to the greenpoint…read morelocation. Here's what I liked. Today, I did the watercolor activity and was handed a folder with multiple sized paper and some watercolor paint. I started painting right away. The workers are around to refill the paint/brushes/supplies when you're running low. I felt extremely attended to and I had such a good experience. I think that in the future, I might do the air dry clay activity as drawing/painting is not really my forte.

My friends had set up a private class at Doclay for my bachelorette, which is honestly everything…read morethat I wished for. It was so fun getting to make our first potteries together, and the instructor, Iso was such a vibe; I loved her quirky uplifting spirit. She even made me a cute pottery to take home. She did her best to teach us the basics, but when there's a group of 9 people, I think it's just difficult to tend to everyone, so some people were struggling. I don't think anyone in my party left feeling satisfied with their work. It also sucked that a chunk of our booked time was allotted for cleaning up. It seems like that's the norm for pottery classes, but again, with that many of us, we wasted a lot of time just trying to take turns at the sink to clean up. Still, the experience was not bad at this point. We were excited to see the final results once they were glazed and colored. However, everything went downhill after we left the place. When I went there to pick up the potteries, everything was a mess. It was super difficult trying to find everyone's work admist a bunch of other potteries. With zero organization, it's no wonder they lost my sister's. So, they said they'll try to look for it and if they can't find it, they'll make her a new one. While it's nice that they rectified the situation by offering to make her a new one, that really defeats the purpose of taking the pottery class. Why not just go to the ceramics store instead? It would've been better if they offered to give her a free class to make a new one. At the end of it all, they couldn't find her work, so they made her a new one. But the process to receiving that new one took a while.

In between time they'll gloss it for you. It was so hard to decide what to paint because it's sooooo many options to choose from. I chose the "hand plate" and it was around $25. You have to make a reservation. When you arrive, they'll seat you and give you an overview of how the painting works. The inside is like a little paint workshop. It's a pretty standard size with enough room and there is a room in the back for a big group. I will definitely be coming back to paint more and try out their pottery experience. We were helped by Noah and he was great and very knowledgeable of the entire experience!

My friend had mentioned wanting to try painting pottery, so when we randomly walked by The Painted…read morePot, I made a mental note to check out their pricing. For the experience, I think the pricing is very fair. When you make a reservation, the person who makes it puts down $10. I thought that was the table fee, but that just got deducted from my piece. Thus, you only pay for what you make! Yes, I agree that $25 for a small plate is high, but for something that you are painting yourself with a variety of paints and supplies available to you, I think that's justified. The staff at The Painted Pot was extremely welcoming and friendly. They answered all questions and explained everything clearly. A different set of staff members helped me out at pickup (5 days later) and they were equally enthusiastic. My friend and I booked a reservation for 12:30-2. In the beginning, it was peaceful, but toward the end, there were many kids. If you want a zen experience, definitely book earlier on a weekday. The space is small, so it also can get cramped. If you are doing anything elaborate, 1.5 hours will probably not be enough for you to do 3 coats of paint, so you will probably need to book for a longer period of time. Overall, I highly recommend this experience to try out! If I ever have anything I want to paint or another friend who wanted to try, I would definitely go back.
