They truly make every visit such a fun and relaxing experience. A special thank you to MJ for going above and beyond. She is one of the sweetest people I've met and generously offered to do a photoshoot for me and my two friends. She even surprised us by making our pottery on the house! It was such a thoughtful gesture that made the entire experience even more memorable Thank you, MJ, for creating such a welcoming space where I've been able to make my Miffy bowl series, with many more pieces to come. As a frequent customer, I'll definitely be back!!

My fiancé and I came to paint our wedding cake plate on a Sunday morning. There were a lot of…read moreoptions for what we could paint, and I love that the price of the piece is what you pay with no other fees added on. We spent three hours painting and hanging out. The space is mostly catered to kids, but we saw people of all ages crafting and chatting. On a warmer day, we probably would have sat outside as it can get really crowded inside. We were never bumped, but sometimes kids would run by on their way to get paint. My only other complaint (which is more so my fault) was that we sat at stools at a shorter table so I was hunched over for a while. I'm just old. The staff was really friendly, and I like that there's a BYOB policy. I would probably suggest going later in the evening to avoid all the birthday parties as it was pretty quiet when we came to pick up our piece near closing.

Still plenty of fall and Halloween items available, but the Christmas stuff is coming out for those who are ready to plan early. They also stock a bunch of candy for impulse buys next to the register. Got to say I was excited to see Cream Savers. Don't think I've seen them anywhere since the 90s and I have definitely thought about them since. Score! Sometimes it's hard to find somebody that works here, but everybody's always very friendly. I feel like they run kind of shortstaffed.

The owner is so kind and patient with us. We got to set up a table for food and deserts and hang out before we painted. They even provided the sparkly table cloth. Sevil also helped us with the paint and she was SO gifted! She helped us redo ours when our vision didn't come to life. She has such a talent. In the front there's different types of stuff to purchase and the tea bombs are SO unique. Like a cocoa bomb but team! I would recommend for the company to give more tips on what not to do or what to use like Metallica to get the bubble water effect. Coming in as newbies we needed suggestions.
