I brought my 5 yr old daughter here for a Mommy/Daughter date. We where welcomed warmly and shown where to find the pre-formed pieces. Your Creative Escape has a nice variety of pieces to paint. We chose a mermaid and a fairy. We paid for our ceramics and was shown where the paints were and how to use them. She made some suggestions on certain paint for my daughters mermaid that she thought would make the tail unique. Prices- The way prices work is you pay for the piece, then the studio fee is half the price of the piece. The studio fee Includes the paint and firing. Pieces have a 1 week turn around. read more

First time going to Your Creative Escape for myself and my 3 grown children (19-23) and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Fantastic selection of projects to create, from as simple to as complex as you want. Wide selection of different types of paints and glazes to use to customize your piece. The owners and staff bent over backwards to introduce us to the space and process and were very personable throughout our visit. Very affordable as well!! Even the selection of 70s-80s music playing in the studio was fun and had us singing along as we worked. We're excited to return to create some more and hone our painting skills. read more

Great selection of pottery to paint, and very reasonable prices. Owners are very sweet and more then willing to help with anything!

Really nice little studio that keeps growing and expanding. Great selection of pieces to choose from, probably one of the largest I've ever seen in a paint-your-own pottery studio. Picked up a vintage trailer bank to paint - not an Airstream, but still really cute! Hours are AWESOME (at least, for me!) On Fridays, they are open til midnight. Perfect for me to get my munchkin in bed, kiss my hunny, then go for adult time. Customer service is really fantastic here, too! Very friendly and helpful. read more

I took my three grandchildren here about three weeks ago. Two are 10 and one is 8. They each painted two pieces, all three painted an ice cream cone and one had a pig, one had a seal and the other had two dolphins swimming together. I use to bring my older grandchildren here several years ago but was job transferred to Ohio and lived there a little over four years. We were finally transferred back to the Jackson area and so I was so excited to be able to share this place and experience with them. It was something we had planned to do together as one our regular activities when they came to visit. Today, Saturday evening 4/28/2018 I went to Eaton Rapids to pick up the six pieces. When I arrived the owner asked me if I was there to pick something up and I told her yes, I had called earlier and told her I was coming. I described the pieces and so she started looking for the ice cream cones first. She finally found two of them, top and bottom but only found the top to my granddaughter's. She held up numerous cones, some with someone else's initials on them and asked if that was possibly it. None of them were the bottom of her cone and she said my kids must not of put their initials on the pieces. I told her I knew they did because i watched them do it. Another woman came around and started trying to help her, I don't think she actually worked there. I described the color she had painted the cone and they both said well they dry much darker (as if I had never done this before, I've been taking kids to do ceramics for over 10 years. Continued when we moved to Ohio and kids came to visit.) I thought we should move on and try to get the other pieces then come back to the bottom of the cone and told her I still had the seal, pig and dolphin. She found the pig, the seal but couldn't find the dolphin. She asked me if was flat or stood up. I told her it was flat. She looked some more and still couldn't find it. I told her it was painted blue and she said they didn't carry dolphins was I sure it wasn't a horse and held up a blue horse. I was speechless for a few seconds, I couldn't believe my ears. I said, No, it's a dolphin. She said, you said that already. She was talking very loud, the room was full and appeared she was trying to make sure everyone heard her and was trying to embarrass me. She then said, I'm trying to help you but your being rude! I couldn't believe it, I hadn't said an unkind word to her or even raised my voice. I said, I haven't been rude to you, the problem is you don't want to take any responsibility and are trying to blame it on me or my grandchildren. She went back to looking for the cone bottom when she turned to me holding up the dolphin, yes the one she said they don't even carry, and said very quietly I found it and brought it over and laid it down. Then went back to looking for the bottom of the ice cream cone. She then picked up a cupcake and said was I sure it wasn't a cupcake. it was probably a cupcake. I reminded her I had the top of the cone sitting there, and oh by the way if you look right here, here is my granddaughters initials you said wasn't there. She then said she would paint a bottom for my granddaughter. I said my granddaughter wouldn't want one someone else had painted. The point was that it was something they had done. She started wrapping everything up and put it in a bag and said she had tried to help me and offered to paint me a new bottom but she couldn't help me. She pushed the bag at me and said goodbye! (Also during all this I called one of my grandchildren and put them on speaker so she and everyone else could hear him describe the exact pieces I had told her I had came in for.) We will never be back there. I use to go in there all the time when I lived here several years ago. She obviously didn't recognize me, not that it matters now. Her behavior was outrageous, when you won't accept any responsibility for your mistake that's bad enough but when you flat out LIE as she did, that's someone I will never do business with. There are lots of other nice places, Okemos is great. read more
