What a great time we had! Mom and I had been planning a trip to Do Art for years. Finally we made…read moreit and we had a great time. This is a great place for artists at any level. My mom is a whiz at drawing and painting and I'm below a novice. Two year olds draw better than I do. There was a lot of pre-made ceramics to choose from; which was a lot of fun to browse through before settling on the right piece. The staff were really helpful. They explained different techniques - 3 coats of paint will give you a more solid color, don't paint light over dark - to help us get started. Our table was well grounded, not wobbly. This is important when you are painting delicate fine lines on your piece. The paint brushes were well used which could make it hard to paint the more delicate things. Lots of paint colors and ceramic pieces to choose from. The pricewas $9 lab fee that includes the cost of paint, firing, brushes, pencils and other goodies. Then you purchase ceramic you are painting. Prices for ceramic pieces cover a wide range. My small candy dish with lid cost $11.50 and mom's vase/paint brush holder was $10. But we had unlimited use of the studio and paints. We had our own table. 5 stars for the studio, very clean and people friendly. 5 stars for variety and price. 4 stars for staff. The more mature staff were always available and walking the floor to make sure everybody was helped and having a good time. At the staff change a younger group of staff came in. While friendly it was a bit harder to figure out who was staff and who wasn't when we checked out. I ended up approaching a nice college aged woman to ask her if she worked there. Her purse was on one of the tables and she was totally engrossed in painting a piece. She did work there and we were able to check out. Our pieces will be ready in a week. 3 stars for not having a better system for tracking ready to pick up items, items that have been fired and ready to go home. No labeling system. Just walk in and say I'm picking up a tea cup and the staff says is this it and you say yea or nay. They might have a pefrect system but I did worry about not getting my mom's vase returned. We will see on Friday. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I had a great time hanging out with my mom and watching her work her amazing artistic magic on that vase.

I love Do Art. I have been coming here since I was a little girl in elementary school (I am now in…read moremy third year of college). The old place was really cool because in the summer they had camps where you could make all your pieces and work on the potters wheels. It was a really good outlet for all of my creative energy, and it still is. I came here tonight with one of my girlfriends, and we had a really nice time just being mellow and painting. The ceramics to choose from was a bit lacking-they did not have what I was looking for, but I settled for a medium size box and a large square serving platter. Unlike their old place, they have a ton of paints and I didn't have to fight with people to get the color I wanted (this actually used to be a huge pain because you'd have to go around to every table to see who had the bottle of paint you were looking for), but now they have three bottles of every color available which is great. The studio is clean and I definitely give them props for their music choice- all the songs reminded me of my middle school days listening to Simple Plan and Bowling for Soup; it was almost nostalgic. The only complaint I really have is that the staff is not very friendly. When I first walked in, an older lady sitting at a table peered at me over her glasses and asked what I needed. My friend walked in after me and had a similar experience. That old lady needs to go or change her attitude. The other woman who came in later was super nice, however. All in all, it was a fun experience and I will be back. I hope next time that there will be more choices of ceramics to pick from!

Finding the right person to care for your child is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make,…read moreand we feel incredibly blessed that we found this daycare and, most importantly, Ms. Erika. The convenient location and hours have been such a tremendous help for our family, especially with my demanding schedule as a healthcare worker. Having diapers, wipes, meals, and snacks provided is an incredible support and takes away so much stress from the daily routine. It allows me to go to work knowing that my son is not only cared for, but truly being loved and nurtured while I am away. But the true reason this place is so special is Ms. Erika. She is absolutely amazing and has been such a blessing to our family. She does far more than simply care for my son -- she loves him, encourages him, comforts him, teaches him, and makes him feel like he is part of her family. She treats him like her own, and as a parent, there is no greater comfort than knowing your child is spending their day with someone who genuinely loves them. Ms. Erika goes above and beyond in ways that are hard to fully express. She takes the time to understand his personality, recognize his needs, celebrate his milestones, and provide him with the patience, attention, and affection he deserves. She has played such an important role in his growth and development, and I am so thankful for the positive impact she has had on his life. It is clear that caring for children is not just a job for her -- it is something she does with her whole heart. As a parent, leaving your child in someone else's care can be difficult, but Ms. Erika has given me something priceless: peace of mind. I never have to wonder if my son is safe, happy, or loved because I know he is. Knowing that he has someone who looks after him, comforts him, and celebrates him while I am away means more than I could ever put into words. The entire staff has also been incredible. Everyone is kind, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the children they care for. They create an environment where children feel safe, supported, and valued. The communication with families is wonderful, and I truly appreciate how open, responsive, and attentive they are. They make an effort to keep parents informed, listen to concerns, and work together to ensure each child's needs are being met. It is clear that this is more than just a daycare -- it is a place where children are cared for with love, patience, and respect. Ms. Erika and the entire daycare team have become such an important part of our family's support system. Thank you, Ms. Erika, for loving my son so well, for making him feel special, and for giving him a place where he can learn, grow, and thrive. The impact you have had on his life and on our family is something we will always be grateful for. XOXO, Bubba
