The amount of pottery that you can choose from to paint was a little overwhelming but I landed on a…read moreskateboard. There's also a plethora of paint to choose from. Be aware that some paints are not dishwasher safe. You'll know by confirming with an employee or if there's a specific letter in the paint numbers of your paint tube. You can grab an apron to avoid paint on yourself. If you do get paint on yourself it's able to be washed out but I didn't want to try it. There's one hand wash station where you will also drop off your used paint tiles and paint brushes. Once you get the run down on what to do from an employee you're on your own. There's a display that shows how your paint will look on your pottery depending on if you do 1-3 coats of paint. Time will fly quickly so I painted as much as I could and went over areas a lot. You can have finished pottery shipped to you but it could be more cost-effective to have one person pick up all the pottery if you have multiple and ship it yourself. When you pick up your pottery you'll get to carry it out in the store's new reusable bag. It was very cute. There's not much parking outside but that's the area for you. It's a fun activity to do with a group. Sometimes there might be no conversation going depending on how focused people are on painting but it's also a good time to unwind and turn your brain off.

My children and I were looking for an activity to do with a couple of older ladies that was not…read morenecessarily outside in the hot sun. We settled on All Fired Up in Alpharetta because it was inside but most importantly it was an activity...10 & 7 year olds only have so much of an attention span when hanging out with adults 60+.... I looked online and they suggested reserving a table to make sure you had space BUT the reservation date window was closed online - they want you to do it 3 days in advance (I was 2 days), so I called... They reserved us a table easy peasy. Parking is a little difficult because it's not close to the main Downtown Alpharetta Parking lot - so if you have little kids that aren't easy to contain or don't want to walk far you have to hunt. I parked right off the street (but I got lucky). Give yourself some time to find parking. We walked in and the girl behind the counter was very friendly and super helpful. She explained to my kids what to do in a way that was engaging and they listened. All the ceramics to paint were on the walls grouped by category for the most part. Both of mine painted boxes - $26/$28. My friends painted a light switch and flower - $12/$15 You pick your piece then head to the paint wall and pick up the colors - they suggest no more than 3 colors but it's up to you what and how much. They did say the more "coats of paint" the better it'll look when it's fired. We painted and talked and enjoyed ourselves. Four items came to about $95 which is perfectly fine for an afternoon activity that you then get to keep later. We went on a Wednesday, our pieces will be ready on a Wednesday (so about a week). We had fun. We have a keepsake. And it wasn't blazing hot while we were hanging out with family friends Win win

You don't have to worry about parking except more of the traffic getting in and out of the strip mall. --Ambience-- Similar to other hobby stores, Michaels has a huge variety from fabrics to various other hobbies like wood, holiday decorations, etc. Cashier at the front of the store can vary in organized to disorganized based on the store. This was a clean environment. --Service/Staff-- The staff varies per location from knowledge to newly hired associate. --Products/Service-- Recommended to check the inventory on the website if you are looking for something specific. This is one of the larger Michaels and stocks various items located on their website. --Capacity-- Indoor capacity can hold 100+ people during a Black Friday rush hour. --Overall-- Great location and plenty of parking. I recommend visiting, but check the website before hand for inventory if you are looking for something specific.

The service is good. They have all these young girls very eager to serve and very friendly so I did enjoy that quite a bit. There was great selection of clearance items and as a small business owner, I was very excited to grab a lot of of the yarns on clearance value absolutely wonderful I picked up all of the yarn that retail at $13-$15 for five dollars apiece. What I also like is that they sent me discount coupons and vouchers anytime I make a purchase and so I was able to use a $15 voucher and pretty much picked. Jan was $100 for $15. I'm definitely a Happy shopper.

The first thing that catches the eye when we enter is the bright & pleasing decor. Their shelves are stocked with an array of goodies and lip-smacking desserts that make you drool.

This time I decided to make a gift for the boy instead of a little treasure for myself. So I searched for a place that's close to my suburban home and found Splatters. I made my way over there all ready to paint a mug for the cute boy's bday. The service was ok, but there was a new girl who didn't seem to know what she was doing. I didn't care much, though, because I was distracted by the like 8 bazillion little girls that came in for a birthday party at the exact same time. Shoot. Me. Now. I considered leaving, but needed the gift. I set out to find my mug and was thoroughly disappointed by their selection. They only had a dainty teacup-like mug you'd make for your grandmother, a big ol' soup-sized mug that would be great for some of my famous French Onion, but not good for a gift for the boy, and then like 10 "normal" mugs....except they all said MOM on them. Really!? I actually considered getting out my nail file and sanding it down, but instead decided to make him an ice cream bowl. Bleh. Whatevs. Other than the annoyance of 80 million children shrieking in the back room while I was concentrating on re-creating the Kenyan flag in paint (hard as hell, man!!), the rest of the experience was ok. I think I'd drive a little further to go to All Fired Up next time. Or even The Painted Potter, if it's still around. The selection was just piss poor and that's kinda the meat of this type of experience.
