    I came to this location for a cute date and it was amazing!!! The place is super clean, the girls are super nice and they explain everything for you to paint correctly! I totally recommend this place!!

    Love love love this place!! I've come here many times, I think I'm missing a picture of one of them, as shown in my pictures. It's so much fun and so relaxing. Usually it's not busy and it's pretty quiet but I have caught a crowd once. They have a nice clean single stall bathroom. And all the staff over the years have been very kind! There's tons of paint colors to choose from and so many tools to use. They don't take long firing the pottery and call you when it's ready to pick up. I love all my pieces I've made. Only thing I'll say is maybe avoid the bowls/kitchen stuff. I'm very careful with them but both my bowls got cracked from just being bumped around in cabinets. But if you have a secure place for them go for it! Can't wait to be back!!

    The Mad Potter is such a fun place to go to if you're looking for an activity in Houston! They have a wide variety of pottery selections to paint and tons of colors. The Mad Potter recently went through a remodel and it looks stunning! Their staff is very kind and helpful and are there for you if you have any questions on painting techniques. I painted a really cute sunflower spoon holder and it turned out AMAZING! This is such a fun place for friends and families, you should definitely check it out if you haven't been here yet or if it's been a while!

    I LOVE THIS PLACE! This is my 4th time back at "The Mad Potter" this month (and probably won't be my last). I first came here with a kiddo I nanny . We had a blast and had to come back a second time. The other times were for a date night and for a family funday. Every single time that I've come I've had a great time. the ladies here at the establishment are so kind and friendly. I did see a couple reviews back of people rating this place lower due to the price of the activity... in my opinion I think it's worth every penny. There is no longer a studio fee so the only payment is the piece itself. The turnaround time for the ceramics to be glazed and kilned is fairly quick and always comes out great. This is the perfect place for date nights, young children, and even adults.

    I hadn't been to the mad pot since I was close to 10 years old. On a whim, we decided to visit on a Friday night. We had such a wonderful time. The staff was very helpful and getting us set up and explaining the process. They had a wide variety of items to select for painting. They are also BYOB, so we were able to bring drinks with us and enjoy. I think they also have a small selection of snacks available for purchase. Would definitely return!

    Not to be confused with The Mag Pucker, which describes how beautiful girls (and myself) often pout their lips (aka Duck Face) for magazine shoots, or these days insta photos. If you want to do some fun pottery for an interesting and different date night, and honestly a typical hipster date nightm when you're over here in Montrose you should try it out. If you're into different things, this is a great option for you. I think it's super cute and sweet. Having said that it's not cheap, but it's definitely worth your time and I highly recommend it.

    This was my first time at Mad Potter and I had a blast! I went on Feb 17 friday and the girls working there were super sweet and accommodating. The piece of pottery I painted was $36, which is pretty pricey but this is pretty much the only thing you have to pay for. This includes the paint and the time you spend painting at their table as well, so you only pay for the piece of pottery. We made a reservation for 8:30, which is not a good idea because we probably spent 2 hrs eating and talking and that gave us 30 minutes to paint our pottery. They close at 11pm, so we ended up staying 5 minutes past closing. The girls were very nice though and didn't mind. They even took a picture for us. You're allowed to bring in food as well! I hoped the people around us did not mind the smell of tamales and Chick-fil-a. It was very nice to talk and eat with your finds and then enjoy some relaxing time painting. I saw a sign that said pets are welcome too! I need to verify that though, but I would love to bring my pup.

    Really great place to come with friends or little ones. They have so many pieces to choose from and you can get as creative as you'd like. I'm not that creative but I felt a bit inspired. I brought my niece and she said it was really fun and definitely wants to go back.

    I absolutely love coming here! You can find me here a few times a month and it's my absolute favorite place to hang out with friends or even come solo and hang out during the day and paint at my own pace! I've made many pieces here and I love them all! The staff is super helpful and friendly and it's always clean. All the tools you need to paint and design your pieces are always available and clean no matter how busy they are! I've only had one piece not fire correctly which is in no way the staffs fault, it's totally understandable that sometimes the paint may malfunction but I was given a new mug to redo my piece and I don't mind at all. I love coming here. They do a lot of theme nights too which is pretty fun! I can literally spend hours here. I know a lot of people are concerned with the pricing but if you're doing it less often then I am it's really not that bad when you consider the price of the item, the cost of paint and supplies, the effort it requires to carefully protect, dip and fire each piece and the convenience of being able to bring your own food/ drink to enjoy your time! You pay for the experience and would end up paying that much for dinner or an outing anyway but here you get to keep something! The manager Andrea is the best! And Mary, who no longer works there was also so helpful and so great and taught me so much! This staff handles so much from parents who can't control their kids to cleaning up everyone's messes which makes the price totally worth it! I can't wait to go back again and make more pieces!!!!!!

    I didn't get the names of the sweet girls working last night, but they were phenomenal and deserve a review. They were patient, helpful, and kind. My daughter is typically quite shy and felt so comfortable asking all of the questions she had. My spouse and I weren't able to finish our pieces and they provided us with the option to stay as long as we needed past closing or to take paint home (free of charge) to finish our pieces. We opted to take them home. We had the best family night at The Mad Potter and it was absolutely due to the hard working girls, and the experience they provided. The future is bright for them! We will be back :)
