My partner and I came here to paint pottery for eachother as mementos and for a nice memory. The staff was very welcoming and helpful to beginners and answered all the niche questions I had about glazes and what I should or shouldn't do (I'm an over thinker so I had a lot of questions). They were very patient and explained everything I was curious about in depth. They didn't make me feel like any of my questions were dumb or unnecessary. The staff also regularly checked up on us. I also liked that they gave off a calm vibe. I'd say that the staff was one of the best parts about this place. My piece was the mug. I am an artist in multiple medias but this was pretty new to me and I had fun with working with glaze. Although my piece didn't come out as well as I had hoped, I still love it and appreciate things made by hands with care and effort. I also learned a lot for the next time I come around. I hope to try the to-go kit. My partner doesn't have art experience but he still found it easy to work with the glazes and he had a good time. I ended up painting my mug until closing, but they did allow me to take my piece home and come back the next day to finish, which I appreciated. I did like the selection of all the different mugs and plates and everything, and I would say it's pretty decently sized, but during my visit I also did wish a little bit they had just a little more in terms of kitchen stuff. Though I understand something like that might be hard to achieve space-wise and cost-wise. I'd say the selection is good overall. During the making of my mug, I did like that they supplied markers (the marker ink disappears during firing!) as well as a paper for me to draft my design and lay it out on the mug. As an artist, the first sketch is very important to me. I also liked the brush selection. I did find brushes that suited my needs, but I also feel like a lot of the bigger brushes need to be replaced with new ones, as they felt frayed and hard to control. They had a big selection of other tools such as stencils, stamps, and these little bottles with needle droppers for fine detailing. The glazes were easy to locate and there was enough bottles for everybody. I liked that it specified they are lead-free and food safe as that is something I was concerned about. I also liked the little magnetic tiles on display to preview finished glaze colors and layers. The magnets made it easy compare how certain colors looked alongside another and imagine how your fired product would look. They also provide special pencils to leave a special message or your name on the piece with. Both days I brought a drink and a snack, which was a really nice experience. I liked that we could bring food and drink in, it made it a lot more fun and enjoyable. I also liked that the environment wasn't too loud with chatter or annoying music, allowing me to relax while I painted (especially as somebody with sensory issues). There were people talking at other tables but it isn't bothering. The cost isn't annoying, I'd say it's satisfactory and simple; just whatever you painted + studio/processing fee. I think for what I and my partner painted, the prices for the pottery itself were reasonable, as well as the studio fee. As for the finishing time, they got it out sooner than expected (a few days after submitted) which was satisfactory. Pickup was pretty quick and simple. The mug I made has found its home as my partner's coffee mug and my partner's lemon catch-all has found a home as a lovely scent wax bowl for our new candle warmer. Overall I'm pretty satisfied and I see myself coming again to paint gifts for my parents. Attatched are process photos, as well as a finished product photo and a few photos of the location. read more

I went with a friend. Such a fun place. Lots of different options to choose from but a bit over priced for some of the different objects to paint. The staff was friendly but not overly helpful. Let us do our own thing. read more

What a fun thing to do with the family, the staff is always so helpful, patient for "non-crafty" types. My wife and son always have loved going, picking some pieces out and relaxing in the studio as they painted their pieces. I joined them today and enjoyed our two and half hours of just painting and working on our prices with all the supplies, paints, etc they age for you to use. You don't have to be an artist, it's fun for everyone. read more

U Paint It - Mothers Day weekend, "family painting" - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - College Station, Texas

Enjoyed my time here. Very friendly and helpful staff. I just wish it weren't so expensive otherwise I would've given them 4-5 stars. Be aware that on top of the cost of the ceramic item you choose to paint, there's a studio fee. I believe it's $6 each for children and $8 per adult. I painted a big plate, a whopping $37, adult studio fee ($8), plus tax. I paid about $50 for a big plate........ ouch. read more

Funnest date ever! My husband took me here, I had never heard of it before, but it was so fun! We painted 2 tiles, I suck at paining, but the owner helped me pick a picture to paint and actually showed me some techniques making my picture better! I would recommend this place to any couple who wants a fun creative date! read more

So much fun! I love this place! Just wish it was a little bit cheaper. 1/2 price night is a great deal!

Great place for parties. They have the best venue for small birthday parties or group events. The staff is very helpful and informative on the firing processes. They also offer specialty glazes for an additional cost; not too much. read more
