There were siblings dropped off by parents running errands, entire families doing projects, groups of girlfriends etc. Basically you choose a piece of pottery, then a color palette and BEGIN! The staff are rockstars. Seriously. Our kidlet is inquisitive and full of energy and they were kind and accommodating. I felt timid about requesting more colors and they insisted it was no problem fetching them. You leave the project to be fired in the kiln and pick it up (fairly quickly) after. I inquired about pricing before I went. As I look every night at my lantern when the timer LED candle goes in and I remember the fun we had, it feels totally worth it!

The only reason I didnt rate 5 stars is because I felt their selection of pre-made pieces to paint was a bit lacking. I think thats because they are trying to get into a "make your own piece then paint it kinda plan" But that didnt helpe me then! The owner was a bit of an odd duck but she is SUPER nice and helpful so thats cool. My girlfriend also really likes her, so bonus points. Its a good place to do crafts

My experience at Fire Escape was with a group of colleagues. It's a great spot for team building…read morebecause you gain some insight into other people's level of creativity, you share ideas and you engage in conversation which is light and fun because you're mostly engrossed in your own project. We brought food to snack on and made a big mess, which was lovely. It took me awhile to choose the pottery I wanted to decorate, as they have enough variety to make your decision a bit challenging. They had more than enough tools for me to create what I wanted from an artistic perspective and considering the experience as a whole, I'd say the cost was worth it. There ended up being a flaw in my bowl after they removed it from the kiln, so they actually let me come back and make another one, which I most definitely took advantage of. The bowl was not flawed enough that I didn't want it, so I ended up with two! I wouldn't go back regularly, but it's something I'd recommend you experience at least once. I think it would make for a fun girls outing or date option. If you decide to check it out, I'd suggest you make a reservation.

The staff is arrogant and unprofessional. Their processes & policies are ridiculous and require a knowledge of international systems that they expect a customer to have.

Stay away from the Inglewood location

So excited to review one of my favourite creative spots in Calgary…read more 4cats studio offers painting, pottery, polymer clay sculpting, and other arts classes for adults, family, and children. We have done a polymer clay class and a ice cream bowl(pottery)class. Both were super enjoyable and their staff were amazing. I found that the small classes they offer are very informative, fun-filled, and affordable. They do 2 for 1 class deals which are such a good price for what you learn and you get to take home the product you make. When I was last there, which was when I did the pottery bowl class with my husband - I was pregnant and I was seriously excited for my baby to come out as soon as possible so she can start growing up and participating in these art classes. That's how much we liked being there! If you are in a rush, but want to do some art stuff at home, you can pop in and grab some of their polymer clay kits which are super cute and easy to make. I definitely recommend 4cats to everyone who is looking for some creative outlet, but dont want to spend a ton of money for in depth art classes.

I went in for a glass fusing workshop for 2. In addition to the Groupon cost, I purchased large…read moreglass plates for an additional $160. A staff member called me a month later and told me one plate fused properly but the other one completely cracked in the kiln. And that when I come back I should get a refund for the one that cracked I called back 1 month later and the owner picked up and I asked what would be a good time to pop by to pick up the 1 piece that was fused properly and how getting a refund works for the other piece. He explained that they disposed off the 1 piece that survived as it had been 60 days (no one mentioned they throw out your work after 60 days...it wouldn't hurt to mention that in the phonecall) and he also said he had no record of anything related to the other plate cracking in the kiln and would not give me my money back. That's basically well over $200 gone down the drain. I can understand the 60 day policy of throwing things out, however if they lose/break your work they should keep record of it and give you a refund. I tried to explain the day I went, a little bit about the staff member but the owner said he had no way of knowing so couldn't process a refund.

The shop wasn't busy (we were the only ones there), so we got a tour and explanation of types of ceramic paints and how to paint with it right away. The selection of ceramics were good, but it would have been nice if they had more different sized bowls, and maybe even some crochet yarn bowls as well. We really enjoyed painting our vase and lucky kitty. It took us about an hour or so to paint both items. Their staff is really helpful and attentive, so it made our first attempt in ceramic painting extremely easy and enjoyable. The only thing I was disappointed with was that it will take 2 weeks to get our ceramics back. Overall, we recommend trying out ceramic painting at Artopia. Their helpful staff makes all the difference, especially if it's your first time.
