Usually I am not the one to leave bad reviews but our experience here was unacceptable to the point…read morewhere I had to. Initially, we had a great experience! We came here last month to paint 2 bowls which cost us only ~$76 total for the studio time and bowls themselves. And, before anyone says anything and blames us, YES we did a double coat of paint! Then, we came a week later to pick them up and in the moment, they looked good! Then once we got home, we realized that there was a little paint chip on one of the bowls, making it no longer food safe. Granted, we probably should have noticed this ourselves when we picked up the bowls but we believe it is also the employees' responsibility to perform a quality check before giving a product to a paying customer?! Instead, they didn't say a word when we picked it up the first time so we had to notice the defect ourselves and drive all the way back from the east bay to get it fixed. After coming back to get it fixed, we came back yet another time to pick up the fixed bowl, believing that the bowl's paint chip would be fixed this time. However, to our surprise, the bowl was not fixed. Rather, the paint chips were even worse this time...going from a single small paint chip to SEVERAL large paint chips along the outer edge of the bowl. Again, the employee didn't say anything to us when they gave us the bowl until we pointed out how the paint chips were even WORSE this time. In response, they blamed the worsened condition of the bowl on their "finicky burner" and offered us either a $36 refund or store credit. They didn't even apologize for their mistake or wasting our time yet again. Of course, we took the refund because why would we take another chance here... Personally, I am grateful that they gave us a refund but I feel this experience was a huge waste of time and money. We had to make 4 separate trips from the east bay to SF and what did we get out of it? A bowl with a shitty paint job that somehow got worse with each "fix". A $36 refund doesn't even cover the cost of tolls to cross the bay bridge and come back this many times, not mention the cost of the time and GAS we spent coming back so many times. Overall, I hope Terra Mia Ceramic Studios takes this as a learning lesson to perform more rigorous quality inspections before giving the finished product to paying customers as prevent their customers from wasting time and money coming back to get it fixed. After all, after we finish painting, everything else is in the hands of the employees (glazing, firing, quality check, etc), all we do is come back to pick up the finished product. I feel as though this all could have been avoided, especially since it's just a simple bowl...there are so many more intricate complicated objects that people paint at the studio... Painting the bowls was a great fun experience but we are not happy about coming back 3 additional times to get it fixed only for it to get worse each successive time.

My son painted a gourd, my daughter a monkey dinner plate, and I did an Elmo saucer and a fish plate--each one came out with its own personality. The fun music kept us vibing while we chatted and painted together. The studio is bright, welcoming, and beautifully organized, and the staff struck the perfect balance--helpful when we needed it, happy to let us do our own thing. We left with pieces we actually want to display, plus a few hours of screen-free connection that's hard to come by. Highly recommend--this was our second time and we'll definitely be back!

I came in a few days prior to pre-select some pieces for the event for the kids to choose from. When we showed up day of the party, the team was pleasant and let us into the party room a bit early to decorate. I love that you can bring in your own food and drinks. The team member who worked our party was so patient and friendly with all the kids. The kids loved that they could pick out their own piece to paint. Everyone did a great job painting and had a lot of fun. My daughter ended up getting a birthday plate with her handprint and all her guests' fingerprints. It was such a nice memento! This is definitely a fun and unique spot for a birthday party!

Separately, we took a parent/child pottery wheel workshop at Speckle Studio today - I was so glad to see this offered! I'm excited about the fact the studio offers 4 week sessions and weekend classes, and look forward to enrolling in a class soon. I am so thrilled to have a pottery studio on Cortland and hope it thrives!

They provide several different size brushes and have a great selection of colors to choose from. The inside is also spacious and open which makes the experience more pleasant. Only downside is that it takes 7 days to pick up the ceramic and their items are a bit on the pricier side. We painted a small ice cream bowl and that was $36. Overall though, will definitely be coming back again!

I don't think they have enough room to fit everyone comfortably. Since one table is filled, everyone is sitting with one chair or two in between. This leaves people to succumb sitting in the middle of strangers. Who wants to sit in the middle of strangers? Do you want them to hear your conversation too? Not me! For two paintings (depicted) it costed $70 total. I thought this was pricy just for two. There was only one worker working a full birthday party, giving everyone their paint, cutting the cake, etc. I thought this was pretty understaffed for the amount of people. All in all, it was a fun and chill time despite the price and claustrophobia.

The process is fairly simple, you go in and pick your ceramic pieces to paint. Each ceramic piece has a different cost, and then there is a fee charged on top of that per painter. You get unlimited paints and tools to use, as well as unlimited time for painting. When you are done, you leave it with the front desk to fire up and pick up the finished result several days later. Would totally come here again for date night, girls night, or just a family activity. It is very group friendly. You can also come here solo if you've got some down time.

Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, they had some music playing and everything was neat and organized.

This is my new go-to plant place for all of my plant needs and questions!

Initially when I was looking for this place, it was difficult to find, however after calling and getting directions, turned out it was easier than expected! As a beginner plant parent, Allie was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the plants I had questions about. She alleviated any worries I had about taking care of a plant and ensured that the Monstera Deliciosa is an easy plant to take care of. She gave thorough plant care tips which was proven to be helpful in the weeks coming. After weeks of taking care of this plant, it was very simple to take care of this plant! It has sprouted new leaves since coming to its new home. If I have any questions concerning the plant, they're responsive on instagram, in the situation I do not have the time to go into the shop! If you are a new plant parent, I wholeheartedly recommend this place due to the excellent service, ambiance and the valuable knowledge of the staff!

We really liked having the ability to set up the bar outside and keep the doors open to keep the flow of air circulating as people mixed and mingled. It was a wonderful whirlwind day and it seemed like it was over in a flash, but we keep hearing from people about how much fun they had. We highly recommend Plant Connection SF for people who want to embrace an unconventional setting for a celebration in the heart of the city.

Every week she learns something new: new styles, materials, and techniques. Sometimes they focus on painting, other times on sculpture or different forms of art. Katia and Sara have both been her teachers, and she has felt happy and supported with all of them. Like with many activities at this age, it took a couple of weeks for her to fully adjust and feel familiar with the environment but consistency made a big difference. As parents, we appreciate seeing her come home excited and proud of what she created. It is easy to notice how much she has progressed over time and we get very excited when we see her project. We also appreciate the communication style of the school. They provide a high-level overview each week of what the kids will be working on, which keeps parents informed without overwhelming us with too much information. On the administrative side, tuition payments and renewals are simple, and the staff has always been friendly and helpful whenever we have had questions or needed help resolving any mistakes on our part. We also love the location. Depending on the day and who is with me, it is easy to wait nearby at the library, a coffee shop, or a restaurant while class is in session.
