A girlfriend and I came here on Sunday. Just an FYI, Sundays are family day where this is a…read morediscount for being with family or a big group. 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 just took the Halloween Tree resin class and the teacher was clear and very helpful. They offer classes in actual pottery work, including making a cow butter dish, a pumpkin, and a witch's hat.

I have signed up for several more classes and look forward to visiting again.

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.

I'd give 2.5 but not an option.

We were a few…read moreminutes late running to this place as we were figuring out parking after rushing back from lunch (that's on us). Staff here was super accommodating and very friendly, was great to chat with too! Everything here is very neatly organized and quite a lot of choices for mosaic pieces. We used paint as the base for our pieces (had super cute water bowls for paint brushes we used), I think paint drying took the longest. It was a little funny we all basically hounded over our pieces to dry a bit before we put tile pieces on it. Little mirror pieces, pretty stones and such were plentiful to use. Elmer's glue was used to secure the pieces and surprisingly holding great. Each piece had a price on them when we were choosing them off the wall. Prices weren't unreasonable, on top of studio space and materials that we were using. It was a fun activity as we love our arts n crafts. I think one of my friend's made the appointment/time slot online, everything was smooth sails and we basically stayed till closing time. Final Thoughts: Thank-you for a fun experience and we'd so recommend this place for others visiting here looking for activities that aren't outdoors!

Not just a kids place!! Lots of fun for adults too. You can grab a glass of wine a couple doors down and then have fun painting a personal creation. I made a coffee mug to give as a gift. I thought it would turn out a hysterical mess but it actually turned out better than expected ( still made for a lot of laughs). Perfect way to spend an hour doing something fun. Great spot to know about if you've got kids you are looking to entertain, or need a creative date idea, or want to host a little pottery painting party with friends. Go have a little fun making something! Prices are really reasonable ( painting a large coffee mug was about $30).... They have a lot of options to choose from too! Cups, plates, bowls, animal figures.....

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.
