You can immediately tell that the owner puts extra care and intention into everything she offers. I had the chance to talk with her about some of the pieces and materials, and I really appreciated that many of the options are local -- always a big plus in my book. One detail that really stood out to me (and that I learned sets this studio apart from others in the area) is that she also finishes the bottoms of the pieces. That extra attention ensures everything fires properly in the kiln and helps the pieces last longer. It's such a thoughtful touch that shows how much pride she takes in her work. I also loved that all services are included in the pricing, so there are no surprise fees later on. That alone made the experience feel relaxed and stress-free. The selection is fantastic -- from small knickknacks to decorative wall pieces, to dishes like plates and mugs. I genuinely think anyone could find something here that fits their style. And best of all, you're not rushed at all. You could honestly spend the whole day there and no one would mind. While we were there, another woman came in with pottery she hadn't finished from a previous session. She set up with her tablet and headphones and worked quietly for a couple of hours -- it was really cool to see that flexibility. If you don't finish in one visit, you can pack up and come back later, which I love. Turnaround time was also impressive. From when we submitted our pieces to when we got them back, it was only about a week or two at most -- much quicker than I expected. And the results were beautiful. I'm so happy with how everything turned out and can't wait to come back again for another occasion. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a creative, welcoming, and thoughtfully run experience.

But this place is more like a building full of ballrooms for your special occasions. I attended a military dining in that was hosted here, and coincidentally I came across a birthday party in a nearby room with some old friends at the same time. I guess this really is the place to go for your important events! I don't even know how to make a reservation for a room in a place like this, but I do know that I had a good time here. The ballrooms don't look like they're taken from medieval European architecture, but this is a military base, not Cinderella's Castle. There are civilians working here late into the night to take care of your food and alcohol needs, which is nice. The next time I go to another dining in, it'll probably be here again, so I already can't wait!

She happily took the onus with the 9-10 y/o kiddos, patiently instructed them (we chose making bracelets as the project, but there are many projects from which to choose) and let them create freely from there! A much appreciated reprieve from all the digital interaction kids engage with these days. Both the parents and kids appreciated! It was refreshing to see them use their gifts and get the rest of their fingers working--other than just the thumbs. Thank you for making our child's bday a memorable one! See you soon!

We decided to go on an adventure and take a painting class together. He, an engineer, didn't think himself a painter or an artist at all. I consider myself more of the artsy-fartsy type and was completely ecstatic about going to this class! I walked into this little hole-in-the-wall in Renton and was greeted very kindly by the owner, Bev, and a guest artist. Some booze and snacks were had and then we entered the art room. Not officially called "the art room," but I thought it was a clever description. The painting process was explained and easy to understand. Every painting seemed very unique and easy enough to learn. Even though my bf wasn't an artist, his painting turned out wonderful! We had a great time. I recommend going after work with the girls or for a birthday party. I brought home a complete work of art and it was a really good time. Some suggestions: eat dinner ahead of time, come early to find parking, and you might not want to be a perfectionist because the two hours we had went by really quick. I'd like to go to a longer session. All the paintings look so RAD!

They have built the tech infrastructure to run the operation well and really know what they're doing. Great people running a great business!
