The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. We started our projects with bare wood, and ended up taking home some beautifully crafted items that will be keepsakes for years to come. I highly recommend this place to anybody that wants to have a memorable night with friends & have something beautiful to show for it afterwards. Where else can you completely check out of your busy life for 3 hours and just have fun doing something creative without interruptions? Did I mention that they do all the clean up for you? It is definitely worth the price for everything they provide for you. They literally have thought of everything. Even if you are a beginner with no crafting experience, they will help guide you and your piece will turn out beautiful and it will be one of a kind. This place is truly top notch.

I wanted to come back and update my review now that we've picked up our finished pieces. We're…read moreseriously so happy with how everything turned out! The full process took about 3 weeks total. Our pottery class was on March 29th, we came back to paint on April 12th, and then picked everything up on April 17th. It honestly felt like such a fun extended experience getting to come back and see everything through. The painting portion was super enjoyable too. They offer a variety of glazes, some classic colors included at no extra cost, plus a few specialty options for a small fee. My fiancé chose the "Safari" glaze (just $1 extra), which had these cool glass pieces that melt in the kiln and create such a unique pattern. Definitely worth trying if you want something a little different! Pickup was easy overall. My only small suggestion would be to clarify the pickup hours on the card that's handed out after painting. Google hours seem to reflect member hours, while the hours posted on the door are different. When I arrived, they technically weren't open yet (my mistake, I'm sorry!), but the person at the front desk was super kind and still helped me find my pieces, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, such a great experience from start to finish. Thank you so much Creative Hands Studio, we'll definitely be back!

I do wish there was a specific color in the smaller tip bottle for better line work. They were sweet and let us finish our work after the pottery painting open time was coming to a close. It was pretty pricy though. My total was $51.45 after tax & tip for a charger plate. They give you a card for when pick up is ready 1 week after. I confirmed we will be back in 1 week to pick up. This is quite far from where I live in Lake Stevens so it's a bit of a drive. I met my friend in Monroe and drove from there to go pick up our pottery - making it a fun girls day! We were SO excited. Upon picking up, she got hers fine but apparently mine had a chip in it and the lady was kind enough to fix it. But, with that said I had to wait even longer to pick up since she put it back in the kiln. She took my cell number and said she would text me when it is ready for pick up. Very frustrating as we drove ALL the way out there to pick up our pieces. And now I had to make ANOTHER trip out there to pick up. A waste of gas. They need to have a better communication service for when your piece is in the kiln vs. ready for pick up. This is not a system at all and I can see it could frustrate a lot of people in the future. I hope they fix this.

Megan, who was the gal leading a glass art class there at the time and helping us, offered for us to come to the pottery class that was scheduled in a little over an hour from then. We said sure! She was so nice that she even offered for us to join the glass art class free of charge for the inconvenience! Megan was the Instructor for both the glass art and pottery classes we were a part of. She was very knowledgeable, always eager to offer help and suggestions, and very friendly. Me and my friend had a lot of fun making the glass art that we would not have originally done with out her kindness. The pottery class was very good as well, and she was a great instructor for that too. Me and my friend are both looking forward to how are pieces turn out! Highly recommend signing up for a class here and expressing your creativity!

I didn't even realize the studio wasn't technically open yet but they had summer camp for kids going on. Kim allowed me to sit and wait in the studio, which was very kind of her. Once it was time for class, I was the only adult surrounded by 6-7 children, which was not an issue at all. Kim was very helpful and descriptive throughout the entire pottery class which made it pretty easy to follow directions. Even with all the help from Kim, my bowl was less than pleasing to look at but it was fun to make! The studio was very clean and welcoming. They had relaxing music playing and they offer a variety of beginner classes. Pottery may not be for me but I never felt judged or less than because of my lack of skills. This was a pretty cool and im.glad I tried it!

The class allowed us to make our own bowls, then select a glaze from a number of great options they had and pick up the pieces about a week and a half later.
