Their prices are fair and depend mostly on the size of the item. You could easily spend less than $20 and find a great piece to paint. It's perfect for solo trips, date nights, birthday parties, bachelorette parties, etc. and has something for all ages and skill levels to choose from. On top of just being a really cool place to unwind, they also offer classes and special events from time to time - check their website often. The owner, India, is down-to-earth, funny, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does. 10/10 recommend.

We stood around and all the employees kept…read moredoing their thing... it wasn't until we finally approached one that we were able to get started. They have a large variety of things to glaze. We came for a half price studio feed which ended up being $4/ person. Aside from the below average customer service the facility itself smelt incredibly unpleasant. It smelt like a sewer the whole time and the smell never left the whole 90 minutes we were there. Pieces range in all prices- I think they're standard compared to other places. I'd come back if the smell wasn't so potent.

Went with my mom on a Sunday about a half hour after opening. We didn't have a reservation, but we…read morewere able to be seated at a table by the paints. 1 - They have tables up against the pottery which is TERRIBLE FLOW to be able to shop the pottery selection. You can't see the options and feel intrusive squeaking by painting customers while they're focused on their pottery. We had some miscommunication on availability of the pottery item we were looking for - coasters/tiles. The employee "helping" sent us off to try and find the item we were looking for rather than assisting us. 2 - Service is bleak at best. These kids don't have any customer service foresight. We were never checked on during our almost 2 hours spent painting there. 3 - Majority of the paint pens were not functioning. Many paint cups were very low volume or empty. No one seemed to be servicing the supplies. 4 - The birthday party in the back space was poorly managed. Back in the day they used to have a host and distribute paints to the kids at the table. I was shocked, and annoyed the kids were allowed to go up and select from all the larger paint selections for the whole shop which continually caused traffic jams for all customers. Being next to the paint area was stressful with lots of people constantly moving around us. On another note, there was no party host from the employees other than getting the kids their pottery. I can't imagine tipping for that "service". 5 - Speaking of tipping - tip apparently is included in any purchase here?? There wasn't an option to enter $0.00 into the CC machine. We had 8 tiles ($7/each - [shocking... and I guess shame on us for not asking how much each cost] + 2 studio fees (a rip off considering we collaborately painted 3 of our 8 items). Our total was $90. HAVING TO pay 15% tip FOR NO SERVICE was bitter icing on a crappy cake. Honestly, not sure I'll be back.

Lisa was wonderful in helping us get started and there were so many great pieces of pottery to pick from. Given that we were leaving in a few days, we had decided to let a family member pick up our pieces when they were finished. When Lisa heard what we were planning, she let us know that she would try extra hard to get them done so we could take them later in the week before we left. She was able to get them done to my kids delight. They were a bunch of fun to create and I would highly recommend trying it. We will certainly be back if we travel that way again.

They were not at all busy and we picked out our items and painted away! We paid for our items, very expensive but I knew my granddaughter enjoyed herself. Four days later they texted and asked for my granddaughter's mailing address and charged me $25 to ship it. This was in June. I have called several times. They originally told me it had shipped. I waited a couple of weeks, still no plate. I called back many times. I asked how it shipped, when it shipped, and what was the tracking number. I keep getting a run around. I am extremely disappointed and will NEVER go back and ALWAYS share my experience so others will understand what an unacceptable experience this was! Needless to say my granddaughter still has not received her "artwork!"

My biggest issue with the last time I came here a year ago (also for a kid's party) was that the person working the party in general did not seem like they liked children at all, and was not kind or helpful. This time, however, things could not have been more different. The woman working was so great with the girls, spoke to them at their level, helped them when they needed it, and was honestly a joy to have lead the class. Totally changed my perception of what a birthday party here can be like, and made me more excited to come back someday. I keep eyeing those ceramic trees you can do there so I'm sure I'll be back at some point!

We don't live in Columbia so we drove to get it a few days after they said it would be ready and it hadn't been fired yet.

The next time I hand washed it the handle broke off. I'm so sad after spending several hours making the memory /spending the $ with my daughters. (Their projects did turn out ok)

I've been to Creative Culture twice now, and loved it both times!…read more The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and answer questions clearly so there's no confusion about what to do or where to go. They also keep the space clean and organized, which is no easy feat given the nature of the business! The selection of crafts, while a bit pricey, is excellent. I've found that if it's in budget (you can find info on pricing on their website), you can find something fun for just about anyone. And regarding the price points, to me it does make sense given the cost of materials and labor involved. Whenever I go, I always leave room in my budget to add the suggested tip for the employees since they do such a great job and deserve to be paid well for it. Their specialty shakes are also AMAZING! Seriously, the price point they're at makes sense considering all of the extra goodies that are piled on top of the shake itself, and they're delicious! Just be sure to grab a napkin or two if you order one since it can get a bit messy. My one complaint, if I can even call it that, is that when it's especially busy it can be a bit cramped trying to walk around between the tables. That said, it's not bad enough for me to dock them a star since they use and manage their space well, and when I've been there people were generally conscientious of their surroundings which in turn reduced potential problems. All in all, Creative Culture is a bit pricey but very fun and well run! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a unique place to go for a celebration, special occasion, or even just because. I can't wait to go again someday!

When you first come in, you can look around and decide which craft you want to do, and then check out at the desk to pay and order your shakes.

There was a 2-3 week wait for our clay painting pieces to get finished to pick up, but that's reasonable. Highly recommend this as a cute date or activity spot! It does get a little busy, and you may be sitting right next to people you don't know. But it didn't feel too cramped or crowded still, and it's perfect for chatting if you're up for it! And to add since this is something I often look up as well. LGBT friendly, we felt safe and comfortable.

Cozy atmosphere, chill aesthetic, and such an interesting concept. The milkshakes were absurd (in a good way)! My issue with the place is the insistence upon gratuity for a staff that wasn't very helpful. I never mind tipping workers who add value, but after we paid for our projects, we had almost no interaction with the staff. These projects aren't cheap and would be fairly easy to mess up for folks who aren't crafty. A bit more guidance would go a long way.
