Cat jar
Olivia M.

I love this place it was my first time going I made this cat jar and it was amazing and I loved it I will definitely come back the staff was really nice and friendly and helpful I made this cat and I love it

Empty shop

Be Aware - horrible customer service policy - no long term vision of customer loyalty and policy is to short term gouge parents for studio fee and cost of pottery when the location is empty. Truly awful consumer experience. Taking a 10 year old here with my wife and 2 other people in the entire facility that probably holds 50 people. I was told I could not stay in the shop with my family while they painted unless I also painted (again, 4 seats out of dozens were taken). I offered to leave if somehow dozens of others entered and they needed the single chair. The very nice woman at the front desk checked with this franchise owner and the owner refused. So the choice was either 1) miss quality time my daughter and wife on the weekend or 2) pay $50 to stay and paint a mass-produced piece of pottery that I'll never use. I hope the decision to try to gain $50 was worth losing hundreds long term as we will never give this location business again. To be clear, this is a discretionary policy that each owner makes. Was told if a child was "seven, could stay without paying if alone with that child". (Photos of empty shop on Sunday below) Would recommend finding any other activity than this shop. Would give less stars if possible.

My friend and I were really excited to attend our first ever pottery class. Upon entering we were…read moregreeted by the teachers and they explained the whole process to us. The studio is a bit small but and enough space for you to roam about and do your thing. The first step was to handle the clay then they thought us how to handle the wheel and then we got to choose if we wanted a vase, a cup or a bowl. We were in a small group of 6 due to which the teachers could explain and help us well. We ended up upgrading our class to include paint as well as we got to know that without the paint we won't be able to use the things we made of it involves water. My friend made a cute cup and I made a not so cute vase. I would definitely say that but the end of the class, we were rushing a bit and would have appreciated some help and tips from the teachers but we didn't get any. We had to constantly ask about things and where the brushes were and where the paints were. Since it was our first ever class, we would have appreciated a bit more help from the teachers in managing our time and helpful tips on how to glaze correctly instead of having to ask everything ourselves when we are already rushing. Regardless, we had a lot of fun and can't wait to pick up our pieces soon!

The instructor we had was extremely rude. She had brownish reddish hair. This made the experience high-pressure and felt like we couldn't really ask questions because of her attitude & rushing us. Especially during the demo. Her service was not good making the ambiance hard to enjoy. Once we sat down to tuft our own rugs. The Tufting itself was tedious, but once you get into the flow state, it can be very therapeutic. I'd rate my hands on tufting experience a five out of five. The demo experience was a two out of five. As time went on other instructors came around to give us some tips and tricks they was helpful. You get three hour slots. I do feel like it should be at least 3 and a half hours because once you get the hang of tufting, the instructors will come around to let you know what you need to fix periodically. I would come back, but probably to their other location in Bridgeport.This location Uptown was decent. You do get your moneys worth out of this experience far is the end result.

Fun experience, we did the paint on pottery and it was pretty reasonable. The place was packed but…read moreI would love to go back and try the other activities. They weren't super organized for pickup though, so had a little scare that they didn't have my piece anymore when I went to pick it up.

We recently hosted my daughter's 7th birthday party here and had a fantastic experience. There…read morewere a number of options (ceramic painting, canvas painting, slime, and more!) - we chose canvas painting. The owner, Robin, and one of the other employees were fantastic at leading a group of 21 first grade girls through painting a mermaid tail (there were so many choices for the canvas painting - my daughter happened to choose this one). They can do them more or less complex based on the age group of the party. Robin was truly fantastic to work with. She took care of everything, including ordering pizzas from elsewhere in the mall. I brought the paper goods and cupcakes and everything else was handled. We were in a party room in the back that is utilitarian but also decorated. I definitely appreciated that there were separate tables for the art and the eating! I was perfectly happy to not be out in the front of the store with the general public. And the price was totally reasonable given everything that they did for us. Would definitely host another party here! We've also come on a random day just to do a walk in ceramic painting, which was also great. Lots of selections at all sorts of different price points. You can also do walk in canvas painting.

We eventually ended up forgoing this year because she's still so young she wouldn't fully appreciate the experience, but plan on going for some Mommy and me time. The staff that I was in touch with while planning the event were all so helpful, responsive, and friendly. Even when we decided to pass on holding the party there, after we had filled out the form and not yet put in the deposit, they were so understanding. They get high ratings, they're located conveniently in a mall where if you have youngers you can go to the playgrounds in the mall, and if you have olders, they can walk around and do a little independent shopping. Looking forward to visiting soon!
