We came today to paint a project with kids. It was very easy to pick something out. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Very straightforward concept read more

This is a perfect place for a fun activity with a friend, group, or even a date. You can reserve by calling or just walk in. Everything is included in the price so you don't have to worry about extra fees like other places. There's a huge variety of pieces to choose from like mugs and bowls to figurines, letters, and decorative items. I painted a mug and my friend did a bowl. About a week later, they called us and our pieces were ready, and they turned out perfect. I would definitely come back again. read more

Have been here a few times with a group from work, how we unwind after work on Friday. To get to know one another outside the office, talk about life that does not involve work, and just relax. The staff have been helpful, the first time was a little like pulling teeth to get information about the process...but since then everyone is helpful and knowledgeable about what to do and what paints to use if you will be eating/using the item for food/beverage. They have pottery and canvas to paint. You can freehand it or there are stencils available to use to have the perfect outcome - or as perfect as can be with an amateur doing the work. LOL They have a party room available to rent out if you have a birthday coming up, or a fun bridal shower activity. Great for date night with a significant other or with your kids. read more

I love this place!!! Went here on Saturday night with the kiddos, and we had a blast. Wished I knew about this painting place sooner. It's so therapeutic to paint and the place brought out such a good vibe. The lady at the counter was so sweet and thorough. They have a lot of options with reasonable price. Basically you paint, then they will fire and you will pick up the pieces in a week. We spent a couple hours to paint but couldn't finish, so we will come back another day. I am so excited to see the final results. Definitely great place for both kids and adults. Highly recommend! read more

Very fun place they have everything you could need. Super nice people. Found what I was looking for and more.

Fun way to spend time with the family. Spent Father's Day with family and loved by everyone. Third time!!

It's such a wonderful little spot for friends and family in Creve Coeur. I came on a public holiday with two friends. No reservation is required for small parties. Basically you pick your pottery piece, paint it and pay for the piece. The pottery pieces start from $6. My crew each picked a piece from $10-$15, and had really fun times for a couple hours. It's highly recommended. read more

They have everything you need to make a cute fun pottery piece. We go here every year to paint Christmas ornaments.

We, my entire family, love spending an afternoon painting a ceramic. Nothing is better than to drink afternoon tea from a mug you've decorated. Only drawback is waiting for our items to get fired. More than once I showed up to collect our treasures, only to find out it's going to be a few more days. read more

My friends and I came here and had a great time. I'm bummed though because my pottery got messed up. Not sure if it was messed up during the firing process, or if staff wasn't paying attention to placement. Here are before and after pictures. read more

It's been a few years since I was last here, and the first time I took young kids (ages 10, 7, and 2 1/2). Things I already knew from experience that I love about this place that did not disappoint: one price covers everything. We went to paint ceramics. While the items can be pricey, the cost includes paint, supplies, sitting there enjoying yourself for as long as you want (this is important), and help if you have questions. We took snacks for the kids as we went after school. It was the perfect time as we happened to have the whole place to ourselves. For the 2 y/o, they have a little table just her size, and even better, toys and books for when she decided she was done. The older two enjoyed their projects and are excited to see what the finished products look like. What's even better was the memories we made that will be preserved with the objects they made. The grown-ups have decided we want to go back without the kids to paint something on our own. I especially love the textured paints that have a speckled or spotted look. They really give a rich look to the finished product. There are so many choices from tiny 2" tall items to huge platters and cookie jars. They had a really cute "to go" coffee cup ornament that would be fun to make. I could spend days there... read more

This was fun! The people were friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I had a great time here with my dad. I definitely recommend this place to other people! read more

Took my 2-year-old niece & she loved it! They were super helpful in getting us set up, even with her being such a young age.

Nice place for crafting and pottery. They have a good collection of things to chose from and we felt the staff was professional.

The painting spot absolutely saved the date I had planned for my husband and I today. I had an appointment scheduled at another painting place but unfortunately got an email cancelling the class less that 24 hrs before our appointment! I had scheduled that appointment weeks in advance and there were none of their branches that had openings for a painting we wanted to do. Crisis adverted when I called the Painting Spot and spoke to Edith. She was so kind and wanted to make sure our experience was great after we had been so disappointed. Edith made sure that since they didn't have a party at the time we were coming she'd let us use the Party Room so we could have some privacy for our "date". When we got there this morning and Lori took care of us completely. She made us feel comfortable. Something I really like about The Painting Spot is that is always lets you drop in and pick your individual ceramic piece or painting. It was really hard to find a piece I liked that had a class time that fit our schedule. The flexibility of The Painting Spot made the whole experience so much more fun. I'll definitely be going back!! The people who work there make it a great experience. Edith & Lori you were wonderful read more

Fun place for a team event! We had four people, some who who had never met in person before, and we needed some activity to keep us busy yet allow us to get to know one another. This was it! We brought in cheese and wine, got great instructions from the staff, and spent a couple of hours painting pottery and having a good time. Since we came in form across the U.S., they were kind enough to send a photo of all of our work before shipping them individually to us. I will bring another team here soon! read more

What to say about the painting spot, my kids love it. They have a large selection of things to paint. I do think some of the items are priced a little high, but that is OK. I will say, although this painting spot is fun their employees are not very friendly. Absolutely no help whatsoever. So it was kind of a cluster. read more

This place is awesome! My boyfriend and I went a few months ago to try something new. The process goes like this: you begin by choosing an item from their many options. There are items for every age from coffee vases to plates to animal statues. We chose a doggy shaped treat jar for our puppy treats and an oversized mug. The price of the item is the total price you will pay including paint and firing it. Then you pick from an enormous amount of colors including ones that can be speckled! Once you're all set with your item and your paint, the time is yours to spend creatively painting your unique masterpiece. There are many individual tables for each group there. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. I never felt rushed and probably could've stayed for hours painting! We paid at the end and in one week we'll have our pieces. Can't wait to see the final product and can't wait to go back with my little nieces! I would recommend this place for a couple, for a group of friends young and old, or for a celebration (birthday, shower, bachelorette). It was awesome! read more

They have a great selection of pieces to choose from, especially around holidays! Pricing is fair and affordable for this fun, unique event! Great place to hang out with friends, go out on a date, or have a party! They play great music & staff are all very friendly and helpful. I have a great time every time I come here. read more

My kids and wife painted some things a couple of weeks ago. upon pickup, one of our items was glued together, as in broken by them and they glued it back together hoping that we didn't know. Not a small piece either. It was so obvious. I wish I had saved a photo of it because it was the most offensive thing that I have ever seen, laughable really. Went back in there and the worker really had no explanation, I mean what do you say at that point? All she really could say is that her manager sometimes glues the items back together. Absurd. Seriously wish I had saved a photo because you too would be laughing at how absurd it was to think we wouldn't notice. I do not know if the young girl at the front did this or if it truly was her manager. By the way, she acted, I assume her. She could not have cared less if she had tried. After waiting for the pottery my kid was pretty devastated. Wish I had been given a heads up, so I could have warned my kid. Nah, was just a complete meltdown for us to have to deal with. I will not ever spend another dime at this place. Pottery hollow, is a further drive, but here we come. read more

Fun rainy day activity for kids and adults! The staff is super helpful. There is no sitting fee here, when most places charge $6-8. Even if the pottery costs are slightly higher, it is still more affordable at The Painting Spot than similar pottery places. No pressure to finish in one day either. Bonus: there's an ice cream shoppe a few doors down. read more

I love this place! Very kid-friendly. Definitely recommend if you want to try some art, or want a hands-on place where you can relax and have fun. I've been here twice. I haven't been here during the pandemic 2020 but i'm sure there wearing masks! read more

I went in to paint pottery and I chose a really cute mug. My best friend and I had a really pleasant time and when we did not finish, they let us come back a second day. The old lady who checked us out was very nice and I really liked her. There was a discount that day except she did not give it to me. I came back the next day to ask about the discount and another worker there was very reluctant to give me my money and instead gave me a piece of paper. It was fun and Id come back again except I am very dissatisfied with the service. read more

This place has it all; pottery, canvas, and glass at reasonable prices. You can come and go as you please and the staff are very helpful. I'm not an artist so their help & advice were great. I've come here a few times to paint pottery and once had a canvas party with some friends. It was great because the party room is seperate from the studio so you can have music, drinks and food. It's surprisingly relaxing & the process is easy. read more

I made reservations for the party room at The Painting Spot for the (gals & guys) of my daughters wedding party along with the soon to be bride and groom. Everyone was able to attend and totally enjoyed! We were able to have food, drink and music in the privacy of the party room. The staff was very helpful and polite to the guest. Many stated that they had not had as much fun since they were kids in art class at school. Many were surprised with the talent that they had. I must say that the ending results were amazing!!! I'm planning on going back within the next week as a planned trip with others whom are excited to try their hands at art. I was very pleased with the reasonable price as well. read more

I love this place. Over the holidays I took my nephew here to paint a trophy and some ornaments. He had a lot of fun and so did I. They have a wide selection of pottery to pick from. It took us over an hour to finish our project. When it's done it doesn't look very impressive until they bake it. When I returned the next week to pick up the pottery and ornaments, it looked amazing! Such a fun place for kids and adults. The staff are friendly and helpful too. read more

We had set up a children's party. We have had good experiences coming to paint here in the past. However, this was very different. The party took a negative turn when one of the employee's made an unprofessional accusation regarding the kids right in front of them. This lead to an unprofessional conversation b/w both parties. I would have expected the staff to conduct themselves in a more professional manner. There are many other painting places within 4 mile radius. I would recommend people check them out for birthday parties. read more

Let me start by saying that my purpose of this review is to be constructive. By observing interactions with other customers, the studio manager is a nice lady with a pleasant personality. That said, she is not an effective communicator. I contacted her in December 2017 with a series of specific questions about glass fusion. I asked questions about pricing, policy, how the open studio works, etc. I was lead to believe that if I took a class that included a 6x6 piece, I could come back in the future to do a larger piece during open studio. Believing that I did my due diligence, asking the right questions and satisfied with the answers, I purchased $220 in gift certificates. I returned in August to do a larger piece. The event started with ambiguity about the pricing. There was a sheet with published pricing that had the cost of items during open studio. After my wife, adult daughter and I selected our items, the studio manager came back with the pricing crossed out on the sheet and new pricing that was more than double the previous price. When I questioned that, she started talking in circles with responses that contradicted previous statements and in general, seemed illogical. She said the prices are lower if you build the piece as part of a class, of which the piece and the class are included in the price. If you build the piece during open studio, the price is higher. I asked her if she was sure she didn't have her facts reversed. I told her that didn't make sense. At that point, I had nonrefundable gift certificates so I felt trapped. As I started building my piece, I could sense that she was getting disturbed with me. When I confronted her, she said if I need glass cut, she needs to be the one cutting it. I have several issues with that statement. First, she was preoccupied with other events and customers to cater to our needs. Second, what is the premise behind open studio if I can't build my own piece from start to finish? Third, I was led to believe by the same manager that by taking the instructional class in December, I would have autonomy the next time I came in. I informed her that none of this was clearly communicated. The web site says one thing. Asking her specific questions elicited contradictory responses. Information in the studio conveyed something different. At nearly $200 in costs, my family and I made the most of the experience but we all felt very restricted with what we were allowed to do and what glass materials we were allowed to use. read more
