This was my second time at Sawmill Pottery and I would recommend this experience to anyone who…read morewants to try to make pottery! The first time we made two bowls and this last time we went for Valentine's Day and make a bowl and mug. The teacher was so nice and friendly and really helpful. We had Dot as a teacher and she was so bubbly and had us very excited to make the pottery. I loved how Dot gave us all one on one attention and really let us do our own bowls and mugs. I love the way she taught us and helped us along the way. It's hard to do, but also very fun and I love making something of my own. Such a great experience and I can't wait to go back and make more!!

The prices are super reasonable, the items are high quality, and the paint selection is fantastic. The staff are incredibly friendly, which is a big selling point for me.

Amazing night here! My friends bought us the glassworking class as a birthday surprise for me and…read moreit was so much fun. The instructor was incredibly nice and patient, and we learned a lot in a short amount of time. I wish the plates we made didn't have to spend so much time in the kiln, and I can't wait til we can pick them up! I would highly recommend going and doing a class there. It's a nice night away from phones or Netflix and just allows you to tap into your creative side. Definitely will be coming back for more classes in the future.

The reason I say it was only ok is because no one really spoke to us. We walked in and we had to go up and ask someone what to do, even though we were the only people in the studio. And then that was kind of the last time anyone spoke to us. Check ins or seeing if we had any questions would have been nice. Lots of choices and paint colors. They texted us earlier than expected to pick up, originally they said 2 weeks but it was only one which is great because 2 seemed long. Overall it was fun, but I had been years ago and it was more friendly and the artist helped us and gave feedback etc but this time it was more on your own and I had kids with me so I would have appreciated more interactions.

I cant say enough about AJ and Hammer and Stain in North Kingstown. We had the absolute best time…read moreat my daughter's 8th birthday 'art' party! AJ was amazing with the kids, guiding them through exciting art activities with so much patience and enthusiasm. She was able to keep a large party of 16 kids engaged even though the age group was a tad on the younger side. One of the coolest parts? AJ even took music requests! The kids got to rock out to Taylor Swift while they painted, crafted, and danced around--it added such a fun, lively vibe to the whole party . We also found out she has a Taylor Swift summer camp posted. The space was bright, colorful, and perfectly set up for little artists to let their imaginations run wild. There's even a Moms' night out option where you can bring your favorite cheese platter! Every child left with their own artwork and a huge smile on their face. It was the kind of party they'll be talking about for weeks. If you're looking for something creative, engaging, and truly joyful for your child's next celebration, we can't recommend AJ at Hammer Stain in North Kingstown enough!

Came here for a Sunday afternoon family friendly pottery painting event…read more Owner was on site and super friendly. My daughter changed her prepurchased item last minute and the owner was very accommodating. Was a really nice/relaxing time. Would like to go back after being able to explore the store....they teach/do large knitting, custom signs (and its easier than I thought), pottery and more. Great for kids, girls (or guys) night out, or even a team building event!

You can get baby prints or wedding commemorative done especially for you. The "Welcome" signs, backslash tile & lamps are also really nice.

Brought my 5 year old after a horrible visit to a clay studio closer to home…read more Owner was pleasant and helpful. Great selections for both kids and adults, prices comparable to other places I've been....One big plus is how quick we can pick up, other places have made us wait a week, and have in consistant hours. Only negative is its not closer to home, but definitely worth the 30 minute drive

A family friend brought my two daughters there last week…read more The experience was fine for them, however, this place does not advertise that the owner is extremely religious, plays Christian worship music, and writes scripture on the bags when the items are picked up. If that aspect of the business isn't specifically advertised, it can be a bit off putting for someone who doesn't know what they're walking into. Our biggest issue stems from that fact that this place took pictures of my children and put them on their social media. My wife reached out via chat on Instagram and was ignored. My wife called the business and talked directly to the owner and was met with indifference. She said that the Instagram account was ran.by someone else and she would reach out before pushing my wife off the phone. It was eventually removed and replaced, sarcastically, with a picture of my children with yellow smiley faces blocking them. The Instagram account also blocked my wife who only asked for the pictures to be removed. It wasn't until after this that we saw that she also posted pictures of our children to FACEBOOK and those weren't removed. We tried calling again, during business hours, and the phone was off. So I went there and spoke to her myself. I explained to her that putting images of children is against Rhode Island law. After making me wait, she got on her own phone and all of a sudden had access. She deleted the pictures and I went on my way. I don't recommend this place unless you're a religious zealot looking to spend the afternoon with an insufferable Karen who thinks breaking the law is ok because she's "always done it."

Very easy to schedule, very reasonably priced. We stopped in a week later to pick up the finished pieces and decided to paint a few more.

Hope to try the beading next time or host a painting party.

I don't know if it was because we only had 4 kids that absolutely no one that worked here checked on us once to see how we were doing. The owner seemed miserable. One of the little girls in our group broke the leg of one of her pieces as she was painting so we asked the owner if she could help us... or glue it back together. She had an attitude right away and said "I mean I can try gluing it but I'm not promising you anything" and it was in front of everyone and it was very awkward. She didn't even seem at all concerned or like she wanted to help us. I personally won't go back here and I won't recommend the place to anyone due to the attitude and lack of service. Thankfully the girls had fun since they're all four and five they didn't notice. But it was awkward like I said for the adults.
