If you want a fun activity on the Indy Northside, look no further!…read more I came here with a group of colleagues for a fun night out from the lab. It was a nice social activity that also allowed moments of quiet to focus on your piece. I find this dynamic kind of nice because I'm not one to talk endlessly even when I'm with my friends. They have tons of pieces to choose from, ranging in price and size, so you can make this activity as much as you want to get out of it. There's no studio fee, so glazes and kiln services are included with your price. They have just about all the colors of glaze, which have a display on the wall by the glaze bottles. The staff are all very friendly, Brooke and Fernando were especially attentive to us throughout the evening. They made sure to help keep our workspace tidy and helped with some glazing and artistic touches. Importantly, we never felt rushed with the process, which helped us feel like we could make something we're proud of. They also have some glass fusing stuff as well, so you can make some kinds of mosaic glass lamp shades (or at least that's what was shown throughout the space). I'm curious how that's priced, because that would be another cool outing! Pottery pieces take about a week to be fired in the kiln, so I don't have my masterpiece back yet. I'm very excited to receive it! They also provide shipping, so if you're a little further away, you can still get your piece. I'm sure I'll be back again before too long!

They have a LARGE variety of different items to paint (as well as different offers as well). The employees were attentive as we painted with filling us in on the process, getting us new brushes, etc. They also offer adult beverages, which is a nice touch for date nights!

The Kokomo Art Association seems to be doing quite well. I stopped into the Artworks Gallery to…read morecheck out what they were showing. The space is beautifully arranged and the walls were covered with artwork that appeared to be local in origin. A competition of sorts had been held since I saw numerous ribbons next to paintings, sketchings, and photographs. I recall seeing that the prices on items that were for sale as being quite reasonable too. Not only is the showroom downstairs filled with art, but there is more space beyond the counter and even more, though not as much space, upstairs. The location is great too because the Artist Alley is next door and the IU-Kokomo art gallery is just about a block to the south, so for anyone who is interested in art, this is a convenient way to check out what the area has to offer. Note: Check out my review of the Sculpture Trail in Kokomo that is just a couple blocks to the west and south to see the current exhibit on display until 2021. There are also numerous murals downtown to see and more sculpture down on the IU-Kokomo campus. Kokomo is embracing the arts and as long as they do, I will keep returning to check out what is new.

This spaces oozes warm and creativity. From the inviting front porch overlooking pedestrians to the lofty attic overlooking the studio below. It's such a cute spot! We had a handful of kids with us so we quickly went about selecting our items to paint and getting down to business. I appreciated that they had booster seats available for toddlers to participate - gamechanger! I was surprised that the experience was a little pricier than what I'm used to in Indy - they charge a per head studio fee here in addition to the pottery selections which can quickly add up. We opted for a bowl, easter egg and cupcake to paint. They also had a variety of ornaments, seasonal decor and kid-friendly designs to choose from. The overall paint and pottery section was very well-organized. Better yet, this is all located a block from the canal and a great coffee shop. Recipe for a perfect morning!

They have such a cuuuute place. It's a renovated building and it has just the cutest, most colorful…read morecozy feel. I love that you have options when you come here - (1) you can either make something with clay (on a wheel or just at a normal table with a hunk of it to make something with), and then you come back to paint it and they will glaze it to finish it off (2)You can pick one of the ready-to-paint items on the shelves or (3) you can actually make glass plates. Be aware that if you paint anything, you will have to wait for it to be fired and come back within a few weeks to pick it up again. It is a good idea to call ahead if you plan on going in with any more than 1 or 2 people to make sure they have space at their tables, but it's usually not that big of an issue unless you're going around a holiday. If you want to do something with glass or the pottery wheel, you will need to schedule for that. They offer student discounts here for anyone with a student ID and often have seasonal pieces on sale near the end of the season. They also have a little rewards punch card and every $10 you get a hole punched - once the card is full you get 15% off your next visit. If you aren't able to go in during normal hours, they do give people the option to come on Wednesday's between 6-9, which is really nice. Absolutely love this little gem place.

My friends and I went to the Westfield location, which doesn't have a Yelp page. I would assume…read morethat most locations are similar. It was surprisingly not busy for a Saturday around lunch. This paint your own pottery studio is one of the better ones. They have tons of options to choose from, and they are fairly priced to my opinion. They also do not have a studio fee so what you paint is what you buy. They have tons of paint options and lots of stencils. The areas are nice and clean and staff frequently fills up your water so your paintbrushes remain clean. Staff was nice and friendly. I will definitely be coming again.

There was a lot to select from, and having someone guide my littles to a choice was very helpful. So much variety to choose from. I have gone to similar studios, and they really do not compare.

Through the years she has painted me many things and I love seeing how her skills have gotten so good and her creativity has bloomed. Parking lot is shaheed with other business' and can fill up quickly. If you want to paint on a weekend call early and make your reservations. If not there don't be spots ope day off you want to paint. From there you'll arrive to find the friendliest most helpful staff around. You'll also see how organized the business is ran, how clean it is inside and how they go out of their way to make the time you're there special. They go over everything you need to know if you're a first timer and if you're a frequent flier they let you go wild with your ideas. The price of the piece you choose includes everything. But so be careful pretty soon you've spent $100!! It's well worth it. You walk away with a piece that you'll have forever. I strongly recommend you go to the female locally owned business. Great for parties, date nights alone time and to take your kiddos. Dads even go too! Let your creativity run free in this establishment. You'll love it.
