Came here kinda close to closing on a Monday night trying something fun and new. The staff person…read moregreeted us and asked if we had been there before which we told her no - she explained the process and told us we could pick our item and she would help set up. it took her a minute to help us get "set up" but really it was just her explaining how the glazing worked and where the paint and supplies were. I picked an item that was around 20 bucks and it was actually pretty fun. The paint they use dries fast so its easy to use multiple coats. I was able of finish a small project in 20 minutes or so. The staff stayed a bit late to help us finish and we didn't feel rushed. We were able to bring home the second not yet finished item for next time. There is a nomimal fee if you dont finish and need to come back later. Otherwise they fire up your project and you caome back in a week to retrieve it. Looking around I kept thinking how cute it would be to bring my kids or girl friends back here and would love to work on another project. The prices for the actual items were a better price than I anticipated as well!

The wall of color was so helpful to see how the colors would fire and how many coats to achieve the right color we wanted! Lots of brushes and tools to get the design you want! Firing takes a few days so plan to come back and pic up. A perfect Saturday with Terra Mia:)

Usually I am not the one to leave bad reviews but our experience here was unacceptable to the point…read morewhere I had to. Initially, we had a great experience! We came here last month to paint 2 bowls which cost us only ~$76 total for the studio time and bowls themselves. And, before anyone says anything and blames us, YES we did a double coat of paint! Then, we came a week later to pick them up and in the moment, they looked good! Then once we got home, we realized that there was a little paint chip on one of the bowls, making it no longer food safe. Granted, we probably should have noticed this ourselves when we picked up the bowls but we believe it is also the employees' responsibility to perform a quality check before giving a product to a paying customer?! Instead, they didn't say a word when we picked it up the first time so we had to notice the defect ourselves and drive all the way back from the east bay to get it fixed. After coming back to get it fixed, we came back yet another time to pick up the fixed bowl, believing that the bowl's paint chip would be fixed this time. However, to our surprise, the bowl was not fixed. Rather, the paint chips were even worse this time...going from a single small paint chip to SEVERAL large paint chips along the outer edge of the bowl. Again, the employee didn't say anything to us when they gave us the bowl until we pointed out how the paint chips were even WORSE this time. In response, they blamed the worsened condition of the bowl on their "finicky burner" and offered us either a $36 refund or store credit. They didn't even apologize for their mistake or wasting our time yet again. Of course, we took the refund because why would we take another chance here... Personally, I am grateful that they gave us a refund but I feel this experience was a huge waste of time and money. We had to make 4 separate trips from the east bay to SF and what did we get out of it? A bowl with a shitty paint job that somehow got worse with each "fix". A $36 refund doesn't even cover the cost of tolls to cross the bay bridge and come back this many times, not mention the cost of the time and GAS we spent coming back so many times. Overall, I hope Terra Mia Ceramic Studios takes this as a learning lesson to perform more rigorous quality inspections before giving the finished product to paying customers as prevent their customers from wasting time and money coming back to get it fixed. After all, after we finish painting, everything else is in the hands of the employees (glazing, firing, quality check, etc), all we do is come back to pick up the finished product. I feel as though this all could have been avoided, especially since it's just a simple bowl...there are so many more intricate complicated objects that people paint at the studio... Painting the bowls was a great fun experience but we are not happy about coming back 3 additional times to get it fixed only for it to get worse each successive time.

It's pretty quiet in here compared to other places which I love! Parking is super easy since it's in a plaza, the people that work at this studio are super friendly and nice, and they offer so many other activities - I saw a kids painting night happening before, they have glass fusing, etc. They also have an area in the back where it looks like they do most of the classes so the pottery painting is almost always available!!

This is my new go-to plant place for all of my plant needs and questions! I came by here last month…read morelooking for a Monstera Deliciosa that was not too expensive after looking all over the city for one and I stumbled into this place. Initially when I was looking for this place, it was difficult to find, however after calling and getting directions, turned out it was easier than expected! As a beginner plant parent, Allie was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the plants I had questions about. She alleviated any worries I had about taking care of a plant and ensured that the Monstera Deliciosa is an easy plant to take care of. She gave thorough plant care tips which was proven to be helpful in the weeks coming. After weeks of taking care of this plant, it was very simple to take care of this plant! It has sprouted new leaves since coming to its new home. If I have any questions concerning the plant, they're responsive on instagram, in the situation I do not have the time to go into the shop! If you are a new plant parent, I wholeheartedly recommend this place due to the excellent service, ambiance and the valuable knowledge of the staff!

The setting with the plants inside and out was important to me as my mother who is no longer in this realm was a gardener/plant whisperer. I could feel connected to her in the setting. Ali the main coordinator we worked with was very helpful and a great communicator both through email and in person. We really liked having the ability to set up the bar outside and keep the doors open to keep the flow of air circulating as people mixed and mingled. It was a wonderful whirlwind day and it seemed like it was over in a flash, but we keep hearing from people about how much fun they had. We highly recommend Plant Connection SF for people who want to embrace an unconventional setting for a celebration in the heart of the city.
