There happen to be a birthday party there when we arrived. We had to wait about 5-10 minutes for tables to clear out before we could get started. You are able to make reservations so that's good to know for the future ! We didn't really get a rundown about how the process worked when we arrived but there were signs and directions on the table that we followed. You pick out the piece you want and once finished, you pay for everything at the end! It looks like each piece takes about a week to process. You're told they will not contact you when your piece is ready unless there is something wrong. You are able to go in and pick it up whenever that day Pick up was very easy. We checked in at the front desk and provided our last name. Easy! They give it to you in a cute little bag and that was that.

There are a lot of different projects available, but expect to spend about $30 for a bowl or plate. I chose a small plate and had a lot of fun decorating it to my liking. I might need to go back and make myself a full set! The staff was really nice and walked us through the whole process. Despite being a large party, the staff never rushed us, which was much appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience at The Hot Spot. Pricing was fair for what you get and there aren't any sitting fees, which was nice. If you plan on going, call ahead to reserve a table. I can't wait to go back!

I've been to similar places, like Color Me Mine, and this one was less organized. Many colors were sitting on other tables. People should have to return colors after putting on their plates. The small colors with tips, most of the tips were clogged and useable. The pottery picks were very expensive. $30 for a mushroom with a kuala bear hugging it. It wasn't a large piece. I'd give 2.5 but not an option.

The prices on some of the pottery can be high but they also have others in lower price ranges. The paints, and bathrooms were stocked well. I wish there was a tad bit more selection on mushrooms, gnomes and axolotl's as they are my daughter's favorites but the employee informed me that we can place a hold on items or request which was reassuring for next time! The studio fee is $5 per child and $8 per adult plus you pay per piece. You then wait a week to pick up your pottery. All in all we had a great time and hope to be back soon!

There are a few options to do such as making a candle, garden, and painting. They also have a to-go slime kit.  We were leaving Tahoe that day so we wanted to make something that we could bring home the same day. The kids each made a garden and a candle. For the garden, we chose a pot which varies in price. We then got to choose a real or fake plant. To plant, small rocks went in first for drainage and then we filled it with dirt. Now comes the fun part to decorate with the add ons. There were different types and color rocks, moss, and tiny figurines. My kiddo loved getting his creativity on with all the options.  For the candle, we chose a container which varies in price also. We then got to choose the colored wax to break it apart. It was actually easier to break it with the hands then cut it up. Once we were done with that part, we got to choose a scent, then a wick was added, and clear gloss was poured over to seal it.  It was a cute and fun experience. The best part is that all supplies are provided, and no cleaning is needed.

The class size was perfect for this activity, allowing for the teacher to adequately share instructions, demonstrate the process, and work one-on-one with students as needed. The instructions were organized on a print out with all the materials and supplies needed to replicate the activity at home and referenced during the instruction portion of the class. The materials for the class were well-maintained and organized at each place setting for each student. I've taken other art classes elsewhere and I felt like this was a step above with regard to organization, instruction, and take away materials. I loved the experience so much that I'm going to take another class in October, and this time I'm bringing a friend! In addition to the art classes and studio, Copper Cat also has a delightful little art/gift shop with items made from the artists in studio. Most are in the front shop, but some pieces are scattered throughout. Take your time looking at all the wonderful pieces... so many great art gems for sale at very affordable prices.
