SOooo much Fun!!!! I came here for a JLWJC (Junior League of Johnson and Wyandotte County,…read moreshameless plug!!!) event on Tuesday and had a blast with the girls! Our painting was that of the KC skyline. Our group size was about...15 people? But a perfect size to make new friends (as JLWJC ladies brought guests) and to paint. Carly, was our instructor (I think...?) and walked us all through every step of the way. I'll admit...I went a little rogue and ended up painting a different skyline and with waaay more colors than they'd initially set up for us. They encouraged it throughout the night, which really sold me on loving this place! Regardless of whether or not you think you are good at art, you'll create something amazing!! Since it's BYOB or you can buy a glass from them, I guarantee that you'll enjoy yourself! I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Our first experience with them 2 years ago was great, it was done at a good pace, party size was small and intimate. You had time to ask questions the artist could and would stop and give you some Individual attention if needed. Now the experience we had last night was not good. We had a full class there was 6 couples in total. Our canvases were not ready when we arrived, we stood in the lobby and didn't have direction on what we needed to do or goad there wasn't anyone to greet us. So we decided to walk in and stood there until someone gave us a spot to sit in. She apologized for running behind as we had to wait for her to outline 12 canvases, she said the class size blew up at the last minute and they didn't have the time needed to be prepared ahead of time since they had to make an emergency supply run. Not a big deal! 45min later we start the actual instruction she said it would be speed painting techniques. The instruction went so fast that no one in the class could keep up, at one point someone spoke up and said we aren't ready as we were all several steps behind. What should have been 2hrs of painting and instruction turned in to a 1hr and 15min painting class. We all felt rushed and overwhelmed with the pace she was leading us at. My wife asked for support/help at the end once several couples left. She stopped by for a second but really didn't offer much support she left her board with my wife for reference but went back to cleaning up from the class. Overall it was not the same experience we had the first time, as we didn't feel we were given the same level of care or time to walk away with something we would be happy to hang up in our home. Overall we didn't have a good experience lastnight and as a small business I feel that there roadblock of not being ready for our class affected us and the quality of our experience as they rushed our class to finish on time as the previous class ran late so ultimately we suffered from that. And I don't feel they took the proper steps to make the moment right. We are unsure if we will reserve a class with them again.

You can also paint bears and tumblers. You can bring in alcoholic beverages to sip while creating. This is a lot of fun. I'll be back.

Perfect size square for your first time or just wanting to do something fun and not do so much. Of course it's more if you want to do a bigger size. Think there are maybe 5 sizes to choose from. You can also put resin on top for extra cost.

It's really hard to define Back Door Pottery. It was stop #4 for me on an Arts Crawl for the…read moreHistoric North East neighborhoods, and what a great experience! Owner Rebecca Koop is the perfect host and tour guide through her magical land of art, nature, education, commerce, conservation and most importantly community. The pottery for sale is amazing and the prices are right in line. Most pieces for sale are both functional and beautiful. There are also classes available to learn the art of ceramics. While this would define most pottery businesses, Back Door's magical element actually lies outside the building. As you approach the building make sure that you take a close look at the front façade; it may look like a intricate paint job but it is actually a ceramic tile mosaic that was 15 years in planning and 2+ years of installation. It is truly mind boggling to see it up close and discover the details and hidden creations in the 450 square feet of art. After you are awed by the tile work, step to the west side of the building and observe the mural that wraps itself around the the side to connect to the mosaic - fascinating in it's own right. The Scarritt Renaissance Neighborhood garden is also on the property and is fascinating to explore with the garden beds, small orchard, water retention systems and folk art all condensed on to a large city lot. Back Door Pottery is just one more hidden jewel that makes Kansas City a true arts mecca!
