Overall, it was a totally fine experience. That being said, there were some specific rules/costs I…read morehaven't encountered in other pottery painting spaces. 1. There is a $20 fee for simply painting in the space on top of the items you paint/purchase. I suppose this is normal in some places, but I was not accustomed to this. 2. You can only choose five colors, people from the studio have to pour it for you, and you have to wait for them to come around to each table to get more paint. Certain paint colors cost more than others. I understand that the staff members pouring for you is a way to prevent wasted paint, but it was very awkward and inconvenient. There were only two staff members for a crowded room. 3. The space is small and the tables are quite close together. We came on a very busy day, so I would suggest calling ahead to see if there are multiple open tables. It isn't necessarily a relaxing environment for painting. We were able to paint and have a fun time together. That being said, I think the lack of space in the studio, the paint rules, and lack of staffing led to a "just okay" experience. I wouldn't necessarily want to go back.

Love the options and prices! I certainly feel like the ceramics we painted were quality. I just…read morewasn't a fan of the "5 colors per person" rule. I totally understand the business wanting to limit resources and keep costs low, but it felt very restricting. Especially when they expected an answer on, "What color will you use the most?". It made creativity and figuring it out as you go limiting. Ultimately, for their prices we would happily go again and recommend to anyone looking to paint pottery.

They have a ton of options and it's nice to be able to pick something that you might actually use for your house. (I ended up with a turtle dish that is being used as a jewelry holder!) There's no time limit and walk-ins are welcome, we went around 7:30 at night. The girls working there were super friendly and explained everything to us, only thing is I wish they didn't accidentally cover up our numbers with paint since I couldn't remember which was which. Not too sure why there is such a negative review about the pricing, they're very upfront about pricing and there is plenty of options around the 20$ mark. would I recommend taking younger kids here? Probably not. But older kids would have such a fun time and get really proud seeing their work finalized.

With a fun and cheerful instructor to guide and teach, party goers get a mound of fresh clay to mold themselves. Forget the pre-fab trinkets to paint. This is hands-on from start to finish. Parties are *only* held on Fridays from 6:30-8:30 so don't waste time when deciding to book. Dates can fill up fast. For $275, Naper residents get a 2-hr party for 12 party goers. This includes all paint, clay, and glazes. This fee also includes all paper and plastic birthday products as well as a Birthday Cookie Cake or Cupcakes provided by Naper's much loved DeEtta's Bakery. The little masterpieces are available for pickup two weeks after your party and party hosts are in charge of getting them to the invited artists. To note: you have to book at least 2 weeks in advance by calling 630-848-3619. PS: It's an unrecognizable address, but Studio One is the little building next to the Skate Park and Centennial Beach. They share the same parking lot.

The kids are going to love it! We had my daughter's 8th birthday party here recently and all the kids had so much fun! Gretchen, the owner & host, has a cozy studio and checks all the boxes for a party: she has decorations, provides coloring sheets, and has the perfect balance of fun, understanding, and authority that keeps the kids on task and having fun. While booking the party you get to pick the project (from a few choices). Day of she walks/teaches the kids through every step of the creation. After, she fires the clay and you pick it up! It was such a delightful experience having a birthday party here that I will be recommending it to others as much as I can. Thank you for the great time, Gretchen!

Studio 60 was absolutely terrific. The studio is bright and airy and it is in a cute little house. My daughter got to pick one painting to do and it was very difficult for her to pick one because they have a variety of paintings to choose from. The party was scheduled from 12:30 to 2:30. I provided food and cake and the studio provided me with juice boxes, water, paper plates and napkins. The kids had a blast, they all got to take their master piece home and my daughter got to take a canvas with all of her guests hand prints on it. The birthday party was a success, it was very different from the other parties we have had, it was laid back and relaxing. They played kids bop music in the background while the artists painted, at one point the girls made it into a dance party. I am extremely happy with the service that was provided to me and my daughter. They provide classes throughout the month, they have a calendar online and they offer adult classes too.
