The daughters just roamed around acting scatter brained for the hour we were there. And finally since the owner wasn't there to fire up the kiln to put the finish on the completed works I have to come back in a week to get them. My kids couldn't wait to get out of there. Next time I'll just bite the bullet and drive the extra 10 minutes to plaster works in Needham. Cheaper and way more fun. Ps the pictures for this place aren't correct at all.

The reason I say it was only ok is because no one really spoke to us. We walked in and we had to go up and ask someone what to do, even though we were the only people in the studio. And then that was kind of the last time anyone spoke to us. Check ins or seeing if we had any questions would have been nice. Lots of choices and paint colors. They texted us earlier than expected to pick up, originally they said 2 weeks but it was only one which is great because 2 seemed long. Overall it was fun, but I had been years ago and it was more friendly and the artist helped us and gave feedback etc but this time it was more on your own and I had kids with me so I would have appreciated more interactions.

It is nice and glossy and it effectively removed that creepy unfinished clay like chalkboard feeling. They said it is dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe so excited to get it in rotation! They have a pretty quick turnaround time (3-5 days) and are very generous with their hold times. I embarrassingly will admit it took me a few months to get back to pick them up, and thankfully they still had them waiting in the back. Also, the garage DOES go through to the back of the building where The Painting Place is - so the directions are correct. It was much easier to get there this time when I realized it was a pull-through garage under the building lol.... I will definitely keep The Painting Place on my list for pottery crafts in the future!!

Staff here is very welcoming and friendly. Explained the process thoroughly…read more The setup is very similar to other pottery painting places I've been to. They even had pre-made paint palettes as an option. They also have some pottery pieces and things you can paint and take home the same day, but you can't eat from those items as they don't go thru the kiln. There wasn't a ton of variety in the pottery pieces to choose from, and the prices were a bit high compared to what I've seen in the past. We enjoyed our time. There were only two other parties there so it was very quiet and peaceful. Tip: if you use GPS for directions, it'll point you to the building across from theirs. They're right across from the Russian School. Their sign is a bit hidden. They do have a free parking lot.

Great selections for both kids and adults, prices comparable to other places I've been....One big plus is how quick we can pick up, other places have made us wait a week, and have in consistant hours.

A family friend brought my two daughters there last week…read more The experience was fine for them, however, this place does not advertise that the owner is extremely religious, plays Christian worship music, and writes scripture on the bags when the items are picked up. If that aspect of the business isn't specifically advertised, it can be a bit off putting for someone who doesn't know what they're walking into. Our biggest issue stems from that fact that this place took pictures of my children and put them on their social media. My wife reached out via chat on Instagram and was ignored. My wife called the business and talked directly to the owner and was met with indifference. She said that the Instagram account was ran.by someone else and she would reach out before pushing my wife off the phone. It was eventually removed and replaced, sarcastically, with a picture of my children with yellow smiley faces blocking them. The Instagram account also blocked my wife who only asked for the pictures to be removed. It wasn't until after this that we saw that she also posted pictures of our children to FACEBOOK and those weren't removed. We tried calling again, during business hours, and the phone was off. So I went there and spoke to her myself. I explained to her that putting images of children is against Rhode Island law. After making me wait, she got on her own phone and all of a sudden had access. She deleted the pictures and I went on my way. I don't recommend this place unless you're a religious zealot looking to spend the afternoon with an insufferable Karen who thinks breaking the law is ok because she's "always done it."

While picking what to paint, keep in mind you have around 1.5-2hrs. So plan accordingly! After our painting, they text you within 10 days and you can go pick up your masterpiece.

Absolutely ridiculous, especially considering we hadn't even chosen what we were going to paint yet. We told the employee it was our first time here, and she said she would walk us through everything before we started, which she did. She explained how much paint to use, whether it stains, which colors would show through lighter or darker colors, and even advised us to start with less paint and add more as we went so we wouldn't waste any. She explained everything about the painting process EXCEPT the most important detail: the turnaround time would be over a month. That is something customers should be made aware of BEFORE paying and spending their time painting. It has now been a month since we painted our pottery. We've called three separate times to ask about our pieces, and we've received a different answer every single time. The lack of communication and consistency is extremely frustrating and unprofessional. Had we known it would take this long, we could have made a more informed decision about whether we wanted to spend our money here. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this place based on how poorly the process has been communicated and handled.
