It almost feels like cheating to be able to throw on the wheel, and add cute elements, and paint all in the same session - but did it today and it was super fun! Strongly recommend for anyone looking to find their zen and have a good time.

Visited here on a Friday for the 8pm class. My boyfriend and I did the pottery and paint. It was…read moreonly 1 other person in the class. Beautiful bright and clean space. Pick an option from the wall and get started. Gabby was a great instructor and helped us so much! We appreciated her guidance and tips as we created our pieces. She controlled the wheel which I think was great to not have to worry about that step. Can't wait to see our final pieces once we pick up after glazing/ firing! I also loved the playlist they had going on! It set a nice vibe to the class.

This was my first time visiting this establishment and it was such a pleasant experience. My friend…read moreand I decided to paint and when you walk in you pick what you want to paint, pay for it, then paint it. You leave it and come back 10 days later to pick it up. In between time they'll gloss it for you. It was so hard to decide what to paint because it's sooooo many options to choose from. I chose the "hand plate" and it was around $25. You have to make a reservation. When you arrive, they'll seat you and give you an overview of how the painting works. The inside is like a little paint workshop. It's a pretty standard size with enough room and there is a room in the back for a big group. I will definitely be coming back to paint more and try out their pottery experience. We were helped by Noah and he was great and very knowledgeable of the entire experience!

My friend had mentioned wanting to try painting pottery, so when we randomly walked by The Painted…read morePot, I made a mental note to check out their pricing. For the experience, I think the pricing is very fair. When you make a reservation, the person who makes it puts down $10. I thought that was the table fee, but that just got deducted from my piece. Thus, you only pay for what you make! Yes, I agree that $25 for a small plate is high, but for something that you are painting yourself with a variety of paints and supplies available to you, I think that's justified. The staff at The Painted Pot was extremely welcoming and friendly. They answered all questions and explained everything clearly. A different set of staff members helped me out at pickup (5 days later) and they were equally enthusiastic. My friend and I booked a reservation for 12:30-2. In the beginning, it was peaceful, but toward the end, there were many kids. If you want a zen experience, definitely book earlier on a weekday. The space is small, so it also can get cramped. If you are doing anything elaborate, 1.5 hours will probably not be enough for you to do 3 coats of paint, so you will probably need to book for a longer period of time. Overall, I highly recommend this experience to try out! If I ever have anything I want to paint or another friend who wanted to try, I would definitely go back.

They have plenty of items to pick from and the prices are all on the pieces. The service is good and they bring you the paint you need. The worker reminded us right at the 2 hour mark that we had to finish up and leave, or that we could take our pieces to go and bring them back. We decided to just stop our pieces and leave them as is. We came back a few weeks later to pick up our finished pieces. Overall a fun spot that I've been to a few times, but definitely not affordable as a regular hobby.

I came here for my friends birthday party and it is such a fun activity to do with a large group of…read morefriends! To be frank we had over 20 people in here and they also allow dogs! They just lost their liquor license so you can't drink alcohol but they accommodated us ordering pizza and a few non alcoholic beverages and we had a great time painting our pieces. I painted a side plate and that costs $30 and with fees it should be closer to $50! The employees were super helpful and refilled our paint whenever we asked and were helpful in the whole process and even gave me some filtered water for drinking at their station. Can't wait to grab my piece from them and see the final look!

That would have been fun! - I think some of the prices are affordable and some are not, I totally would pay $15 for a ring holder but I dont know If I would pay $48 for a bowl. So if you go keep in mind whats really worth it. - I believe is amazing how they allow the freedom to run wild for each person, but I would have appreciated more companionship from the "waitress" or at least for her to take a moment to guide us more, maybe there is a way where we can be guided over the phone with a video or something - I loved the space, it was all I thought it would be and is pretty spacious. Overall the experience was pretty good, I will be back and check out more of their menu!

This is my first time at the downtown Manhattan location. I had previously been to the greenpoint…read morelocation. Here's what I liked. Today, I did the watercolor activity and was handed a folder with multiple sized paper and some watercolor paint. I started painting right away. The workers are around to refill the paint/brushes/supplies when you're running low. I felt extremely attended to and I had such a good experience. I think that in the future, I might do the air dry clay activity as drawing/painting is not really my forte.

I arrived early and was able to be seated before the rest of the women arrived. This was my first ever pottery class so I decided to make a mug. Other people in class also made a mug or a bowl or a ring holder. The class was a couple of hours long so we had enough time to design our items as well. Our instructor was Mariah and she was lovely; knowledgeable and such a great teacher. I will definitely take another class here or at the other location in the future.

Now that I'm all settled I decided to try the Intro to Sewing class ($80: supplies included) here & I am SO glad I did!! Diana Rupp, the owner was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and open! I showed up there with absolutely no knowledge of sewing or how to work a sewing machine. But if you come with interest and an excitement to learn, you'll enjoy it. She gave us hand outs with everything we needed to know, took us through all supplies for basic sewing, taught us the parts of the sewing machine and how to thread a sewing machine. I didn't even know there was a whole process even before beginning to use one?! Lol. She went at our pace, helped us each time we made a mistake, all while having a regular conversation. None of us ever felt left behind or stressed. I was beyond excited when the class was finished. I bought some supplies from her store and even Diana's sewing book (which I highly recommend if you're dedicated). I can't wait to practice on this new hobby and make it my own! They also have tons of other classes available if you want to learn other techniques. Already eyeing the next class I'll be taking: embroidery :)) Love love loved my experience!

If you're like me and had zero to no experience with sewing, this is the perfect class for you. She goes over threading step by step and gives you some great techniques and advice to take home with you so that you can practice. The classes are very small, so if you have questions, she's available. The two hours flew by. I left the class feeling very confident in what I learned (a little too confident, telling people I can take on those mofos on Project Runway!) I can't wait to take another class.
