My biggest issue with the last time I came here a year ago (also for a kid's party) was that the person working the party in general did not seem like they liked children at all, and was not kind or helpful. This time, however, things could not have been more different. The woman working was so great with the girls, spoke to them at their level, helped them when they needed it, and was honestly a joy to have lead the class. Totally changed my perception of what a birthday party here can be like, and made me more excited to come back someday. I keep eyeing those ceramic trees you can do there so I'm sure I'll be back at some point!

Cozy atmosphere, chill aesthetic, and such an interesting concept. The milkshakes were absurd (in a good way)! My issue with the place is the insistence upon gratuity for a staff that wasn't very helpful. I never mind tipping workers who add value, but after we paid for our projects, we had almost no interaction with the staff. These projects aren't cheap and would be fairly easy to mess up for folks who aren't crafty. A bit more guidance would go a long way. A great concept like this demands well-trained, considerate, and accommodating staff.

There is a huge selection of pieces to paint, they have food safe paints to use, a nice space to work in, and a decent turnaround on getting the pieces finished and back to us.

I highly recommend coming here!

I've been to Creative Culture twice now, and loved it both times!…read more The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and answer questions clearly so there's no confusion about what to do or where to go. They also keep the space clean and organized, which is no easy feat given the nature of the business! The selection of crafts, while a bit pricey, is excellent. I've found that if it's in budget (you can find info on pricing on their website), you can find something fun for just about anyone. And regarding the price points, to me it does make sense given the cost of materials and labor involved. Whenever I go, I always leave room in my budget to add the suggested tip for the employees since they do such a great job and deserve to be paid well for it. Their specialty shakes are also AMAZING! Seriously, the price point they're at makes sense considering all of the extra goodies that are piled on top of the shake itself, and they're delicious! Just be sure to grab a napkin or two if you order one since it can get a bit messy. My one complaint, if I can even call it that, is that when it's especially busy it can be a bit cramped trying to walk around between the tables. That said, it's not bad enough for me to dock them a star since they use and manage their space well, and when I've been there people were generally conscientious of their surroundings which in turn reduced potential problems. All in all, Creative Culture is a bit pricey but very fun and well run! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a unique place to go for a celebration, special occasion, or even just because. I can't wait to go again someday!

When you first come in, you can look around and decide which craft you want to do, and then check out at the desk to pay and order your shakes. Then you seat yourself and can get started on your craft. we were there for like 3 hours, and no one tried to rush us. There was a 2-3 week wait for our clay painting pieces to get finished to pick up, but that's reasonable. Highly recommend this as a cute date or activity spot! It does get a little busy, and you may be sitting right next to people you don't know. But it didn't feel too cramped or crowded still, and it's perfect for chatting if you're up for it! And to add since this is something I often look up as well. LGBT friendly, we felt safe and comfortable.

We came for a half price studio feed which ended up being $4/ person. Aside from the below average customer service the facility itself smelt incredibly unpleasant. It smelt like a sewer the whole time and the smell never left the whole 90 minutes we were there. Pieces range in all prices- I think they're standard compared to other places. I'd come back if the smell wasn't so potent.

We didn't have a reservation, but we…read morewere able to be seated at a table by the paints. 1 - They have tables up against the pottery which is TERRIBLE FLOW to be able to shop the pottery selection. You can't see the options and feel intrusive squeaking by painting customers while they're focused on their pottery. We had some miscommunication on availability of the pottery item we were looking for - coasters/tiles. The employee "helping" sent us off to try and find the item we were looking for rather than assisting us. 2 - Service is bleak at best. These kids don't have any customer service foresight. We were never checked on during our almost 2 hours spent painting there. 3 - Majority of the paint pens were not functioning. Many paint cups were very low volume or empty. No one seemed to be servicing the supplies. 4 - The birthday party in the back space was poorly managed. Back in the day they used to have a host and distribute paints to the kids at the table. I was shocked, and annoyed the kids were allowed to go up and select from all the larger paint selections for the whole shop which continually caused traffic jams for all customers. Being next to the paint area was stressful with lots of people constantly moving around us. On another note, there was no party host from the employees other than getting the kids their pottery. I can't imagine tipping for that "service". 5 - Speaking of tipping - tip apparently is included in any purchase here?? There wasn't an option to enter $0.00 into the CC machine. We had 8 tiles ($7/each - [shocking... and I guess shame on us for not asking how much each cost] + 2 studio fees (a rip off considering we collaborately painted 3 of our 8 items). Our total was $90. HAVING TO pay 15% tip FOR NO SERVICE was bitter icing on a crappy cake. Honestly, not sure I'll be back.

I was GIDDY when I saw that Sunfire lets you make your own and they had a variety of sizes from which to choose. This is a popular item and event because the first painting party was sold out. I snapped at the chance to attend the second party and it was fabulous. The painting party was a ticketed event so I bought my ticket ahead of time. I was not quite sure what to expect but this met my expectations and more. The wonderful staff at Sunfire handhold you through each step of the process. Within minutes of picking my tree, I was being shown the process. The staff answered all my questions and they were so nice. You can tell the staff enjoys what they do and they have fun at work. They were so gracious to everyone. There were appetizers and wine... what a nice touch. I actually think I painted better after the wine. lol. This is a small, quaint building and used to be an old gas station. It was built in 1910 and that makes this space even more special. It is brightly and eclectically decorated and a very happy, creative space. Parking was not an issue and there seemed to be plenty of spaces despite not having a parking lot and being downtown. Access was very easy which is key for me. The prices seemed very reasonable and I could tell I got so much for my money. Well spent money for a fun event. I had so much fun that I am thinking of going back soon.
