Right away, we went to the wall to see what ceramics we could pick from and then Alex filled us in on where everything is and what steps to take. Overall, you have about 90min to pick a ceramic and paint it. They had a great selection of paints, brushes and other tools to choose from. Alex was so kind, patient & helpful throughout our whole experience. My whole family enjoyed our experience, and my mom really enjoyed the added personal touch of one of the staff members giving out roses to all the moms. I would definitely come back!

I've completed many pieces there, including a yearly handprint ornament for my daughter. This time, after choosing our pieces and following their six-colour guideline for children, I was confronted by a clerk who told me my ten-year-old "only needs four colours" and that "it's four when we're busy." The tone was hostile, and the reasoning made no sense. Customers pay for the piece, the studio time, and the firing. Colour limits serve no purpose beyond making it easier for the establishment to handle customers. The same employee who was rude and hostile later called to say she hadn't realized we had more than one piece and that we could use six colours after all. By then, the experience was already compromised, so we did not return. Crock A Doodle was a direct contrast. Seven minutes away. Transit-friendly. Every table stocked with the full set of thirty colours. The price of the item covers everything: paint, time, and firing. It was straightforward and worth it.

Process is simple. You pick your already made ceramic piece off the shelf and someone sits down with you before you start painting. They explain all the dos and don'ts and show you samples of a good painting job and what happens when you don't later enough paint. Then you go and create your masterpiece! You're free to use whatever brushes you want and all the paint that you need. There also is no time limit of how long you sit and paint. I think my gfs and I took about 2.5 hours? All pieces are priced differently. They're very helpful if you have any questions so don't hesitate to ask! The only thing that my gfs and I didn't realize is that it takes about a week for the pieces to be "glazed". So if you're not from around the area it might be a pain to come back and get it. If you fail to pick up your pieces I believe after 3 months, they donate them. I came back at exactly the 7 day mark and they just finished glazing that morning. Thank god, because I would've been really disappointed if I had gone all that way for nothing. They also have a sign that says no need to call to ask if your piece is ready as it SHOULD be ready within a week.

We were so impressed we bought a year membership so the whole family can participate together. You come in, choose your piece, get a bit of instruction and then you are off to the races.

You can just keep coming back for as many hours as it takes, at NO extra cost, so that you can get it just right!!! Love that! Give it a try - bet you love it like we do!

Flash forward, both of us came back on Easter Sunday for an additional session to complete our work. Yvette wasn't working. It was a younger lady (who's name I forgot to ask). She was just as friendly as Yvette. I had booked the session online quite last minute (at around 2pm for a 3pm session) so she didn't have everything setup for us when we arrived but no worries. I'm happy I managed to salvage my horizon! **see my previous review** :) Just as Yvette had told me on our last visit, they only charged us the $6 studio fee for 2 ppl so $12 (no funny business). Our paintings turned out okay even without an instructor guiding us! After inspecting both of our paintings I noticed I like to use thicker, broader strokes and my gf uses thinner, more refined strokes. I'd definitely be open to coming back for canvas painting again or pottery perhaps in the future. Very fun!

There are lots of paints and colours to choose from. The paintbrushes are very clean and in good condition. Our pieces were ready for pick up the next day, very fast. It was wrapped in paper and very secure during pick up. The only downside I found was sharing a table with other guests. It's a long table with plastic unsteady stools, and if another guest shakes the table, it moves the entire table. Our pieces were $30 and $33. Very good pricing. Staff were nice and informative.

Wow. So overwhelmed by all the great options they have in this store…read more I came in to pick up a couple basic decorations and ended up purchasing a little bit of this and that. So many cute decorative items. The store has everything from hijabs, to fashion accessories, to children's books and toys, to greeting cards, to candy , to art, to soaps to holiday decorations and more. Yes you can anticipate the price being a few dollars more than secular/mainstream items but I can tell the quality of the products are really good; and many items are handmade. They also have an area to sit and chill or for your child to play while you shop. A lot of stuff here has been designed by Muslims who put a lot of effort and thought into products that meet our needs and are related to our Islamic identity. So come shop here and support this Muslim business. I recommend this shop.
