More importantly, Donna taught us various paint/blending techniques to make the painting more rustic, which made the experience much more rewarding than painting solid colors. By the end, our paintings looked really good. The final product looked like something I'd buy from Hobby Lobby. Had a fun time overall!

I went here with a large group on what looked like a busy night. One of my family members has made several awesome things here. We had a great time (except for a portion of our party who was having a hard time for unrelated reasons, which was embarrassingly taken out on the staff who, ill say, handled it all very well - I wish I could have apologized + thanked them in person). They were exceptionally kind to me despite my hangriness and stayed positive throughout the hours of the evening - even overtime. I am thoroughly impressed and grateful. I would recommend this place to others.

Mike was an absolute incredible instructor. He met every person where they were at, and ensured that everyone left with a mug they were proud of. My husband and I had SO much fun in this class. In addition to the incredible experience, the craftsmanship in the shop is absolutely incredible. I am so excited about the gorgeous utensil holder we're bringing home with this incredible dogwood flower carving on it. Genuinely, I cannot state this stronger: if Fowler's is not a part of your plan in Gatlinberg, you are absolutely missing out. This place is amazing.

He made our entire class feel at easy and enjoy the experience. Once we received our pieces in the mail, we couldn't believe how nice the glazing & color came out. I would absolutely recommend Folwers to anyone!
