I had the best time here spending some 1:1 time with my son. We had a gift card I had been meaning…read moreto use to take him out and finally got to it. My son is 5 and I let him choose what he wanted to paint which was an airplane. I did a plate. He had a blast choosing his colors and painting. He did need a little help and reminders about layers and colors and how it would turn out with 1 layer vs 2 but he did great. I was a little nervous because everything in there is breakable but it's a nice test for my patience as a parent to learn to trust and promote independence in my son, all went well. I'm excited to take him back

My daughter and I came in about five weeks ago to paint a teapot for her mom as a Mother's Day…read moregift. We spent over two hours on it and paid the sitting fee. The piece was supposed to be fired and ready for pickup, and the store was supposed to text when it was done. I never got a text. I came in today to pick it up and was told the piece had been there over a month, and because no one picked it up, they donated it. No call, no text, no email, no warning before it was given away. The only thing offered was a credit toward painting a new piece. Not a refund of the sitting fee. Not the original piece back. Just a credit, after I drove a round trip for nothing and my daughter walked out with no gift for her mom days before Mother's Day. A few things stand out: 1. If the policy is that unclaimed pieces get donated after a month, that needs to be communicated clearly at checkout and a notification needs to actually go out before the piece is given away. 2. A handmade gift from a child to her mother isn't replaceable with a store credit. The whole point was that she made it.

been the biggest fan of this place since i was a kid!! i feel like ive gone every year and its…read morereally nice how many changes theyve made to grow the business. even on weekdays it gets pretty busy, so def recommend a reservation. the workers are always really nice and helpful, and i love that they offer snacks n canned drinks as well as allow outside food/drink. now are my cons but not rly cons? love this place so theyre not bad enough to stop me from coming or recommending, but theres def some things i and my friends noticed overall. id hope that the place gets a bigger variety of glaze colors maybe? i feel like its been the same for a bit. or even the glaze with different effects. additionally, if there can be a little key to the small glazes in piping bottles it would be superrr helpful to know what theyd look like. we found ourselves walking back and forth 10 times just to see what they were compared to the big bottles. also, if they can have a larger variety of plain items at a time i think it would be nice! when i originally came in there were very few options, but when i came in to pickup my pieces there were a LOT of plain, non charactered/textured cups, bowls, and plates. lastly, i would loveee to join in on their classes to make my own pieces, but its super unfortunate to me that it seems theres not that much opportunity for designing and painting it myself. even if it was an add on fee id definitely be down, but if im already paying about $50 for a piece it would be cool if i can have the option to make it exactly how i wanted.

We visited The Pottery Shop to celebrate our son's birthday, since we like to try a new experience…read moreeach year. He's very artistic, so this turned out to be a perfect fit and he genuinely had an amazing time. Choosing what to paint was honestly the hardest part because of the large selection available. There's something for every budget... our pieces were around $20-$25 each, with both more affordable and higher-end options available. In addition to the pottery cost, there is a $9 studio fee per person, which covers all materials, glazing, and firing. We ended up spending close to three hours painting, and the time passed quickly in a relaxed, creative, and very family-friendly environment. The staff during our visit were welcoming, patient, and happy to answer questions or offer guidance, which made the experience comfortable even for beginners. The pickup process was slightly less seamless than the painting session itself. We were initially quoted about a two-week turnaround and needed to follow up when we hadn't received a notification yet. There appeared to be some minor miscommunication regarding readiness and text alerts, but everything was eventually sorted out. Overall, this is a wonderful local activity... especially for families, date nights, or anyone looking for a creative and screen-free experience. I'd absolutely recommend planning ahead for pickup communication, but the painting experience itself made for a memorable birthday celebration and we would happily return.

Bridgette, our instructor was super helpful and fun. She told silly jokes and did a few giveaway prizes. The only thing I could highly recommend to make the experience better is to please get a better playlist for your music. There are many free services that can create a better playlist for you. The playlist we listened to was high pitched (need better speakers), all over the place when it came to the genre of music. Eventually the music became super annoying and I just wanted to chill and have fun with my sis, but the music kept playing randomness and super duper loud lol. Other than this though, I will give our overall experience a top rating. I would also recommend this studio to others.

OBSESSED! Visited for a fun girls day and left with something awesome!…read more The inside is very spacious and organized. Cool crafty aesthetic throughout. I love that you can pick whatever project you want to do and everyone in your group can do individual pieces so you're not stuck doing something you don't want! Staff were very helpful! I've never done anything like this and they did a great job explaining the process and assisting throughout. Very good price for the materials and time spent there, in my opinion. My piece is hung up in my office and looks beautiful!

So much fun! I gotta admit, I had a bit of anxiety while doing this craft. I was super worried I…read morewas really going to mess it up. If it's your first time, it can be a bit confusing. There is a lot going on. The staff is very attentive but that being said, there were two girls working with a full house and everyone seemed to need help at the same moments. Luckily there were some ladies that were obvious 'pros' and could help some of the others. If it's your first time, try to go with a project with only one or two colors. Mine had multiple and my paint would dry before I could finish painting so some of my paint did peel off my project. I tried to recover as much as I could. Another tip...have your paint colors ready next to you before you start. I think that was half my battle. I'd start with a color and then half to search for the next ones. All in all the staff was great and I was happy with my first project. I will definitely be back. I would love a parent and child class. This would be super cool to do with my teen.

Booked a Friday evening 630-830 Acrylic pour class. Booking via the website was an ease. If you…read morecheck in on Yelp you get 10% off your beverages/food/ any purchase inside the studio. As I entered i was not greeted, so just walked over to art table and grabbed a seat. Waited about 30-45 minutes (there were other patrons waiting as well) was unsure who worked there as everyone had an art apron on. Eventually someone appeared at the front desk, walked over to check in and order food and drinks. They have libations (beer, wine, cocktails), water and mocktails. The food menu was limited (chips with various dips salsa, guacamole, aioli, Bavarian pretzel with dip, and other small snacks). Tried the chips with salsa and guacamole as well as the Bavarian pretzel (two nice sized pretzels). Our drinks came out first. We had to have them remade as they included edible glitter which wasn't listed on the drink ingredients we initially ordered. The chips, dip and pretzel were plenty to share between 2-3 people easily. The art class instructions didn't begin until about 745P. Not exactly sure what was going on regarding starting so late. But. Nonetheless, During the down time there are ice breaker cards on each table. Once the class started it was over by 845P. Overall a great experience but efficiency and time management is lacking.

My friend wanted to do the resin project for her birthday so of course I said yes! I've never…read moreplayed with resin before. There wasn't a lot of people here the night we went so we had lots of table space. Our table was set up with our boards, gloves, sand paper & rags. Racheal was our instructor and she was AWESOME! Paula was working that night too & helping out. She got us our drinks & food and she was also great too! We had enough time to look over the menu & place our orders. I was exited to see that they just didn't serve beer & wine but had Truly's & a cocktail menu. I didn't see this on their website. I tired the glitter bomb even though they were out of cotton Candy & replaced it with something else which worked out. Later on I ended up ordering the pepperoni pizza which looked amazing & tasted amazing too! Was just right! Rachel explained the process prior to us starting. We were able to see other designs that were on the wall. You pick out a stain if you want to have some of the board stained which will show because you don't cover it up with your colors/glitter. Beware resin won't come out of your clothes or your hair. So bring something to put your hair up & be careful what you wear. You do get an apron to use but it doesn't cover up your clothes completely. I even brought some of my own glitter because I want sure if they had pink glitter but they have lots of colors to choose from. We had plenty of time to work on our project but once you stir your resin to get the bubbles you have 20 minutes to work with it. My friend brought her mother too & her birthday was a couple days after my friend's. Rachel was fun & had everyone sing happy birthday to them. :-) You need to leave your final project there for 24hrs so it can dry. My friend was suppose to pick mine up & give it to me next time I see her. I really liked the end product & can't wait to see it & use it for something. It's safe to serve food on it. I'd definitely come back for a future art project! This place so reminded me of school and art class. 5/5 stars! Thanks for the fun night Rachel & Paula! P.S. just a suggestion...you should have an air freshener & poop spray for the bathroom.

It looked super complicated but her step by step instruction made it so much fun and I'm not totally embarrassed by my painting!!

Then we made a butter and some other ingredient sauce to go over the noodles as well as enough cheese to make a goat jealous.

They had a cute set up with picnic tables and all the supplies and apron and everything was laid out and easy for you. Think of PaintNite but with cooking. You buy your drinks at the bar and then come back to your table, no server. This place specifically only served beer and wine, and non alcoholic drinks by the can. But the beer was good!! The pasta was fantastic, and so easy to make! Just 2 ingredients! She was a great teacher and you learn 3 different styles of pasta to make. My favorite was the gnocchi. Also, you get to take the recipe home with you so you can make it again later. I would love to do this again, but maybe try a different type of class next time. I know they have sushi and a couple other options! You definitely got to give this a try!!!! So much fun!!
