There was no work space for the paints, water and brushes because we were seated so close together. We couldn't see the instructor or able to see what she was demonstrating. We were really looking forward to this class and left feeling like they just cared about fitting as many bodies in to make money. This also raises the question what the occupancy for this space is because I have to believe they were over it. If there had been a fire or emergency I don't think everyone could have gotten out nor could any emergency help get in with equipment etc.

I love that you can pick out your own craft from TONS of options in advance and it's cool that they have a bar with nonalcoholic choices too.

I'd never done it before, and yet by the end of our painting session, I had made a beautiful work of art on rustic wood that is definitely headed for hanging in our living room.

Shout out to Kayla, our painting associate this morning, for guiding us through this new artistic endeavor.

Overall, it was a totally fine experience. That being said, there were some specific rules/costs I…read morehaven't encountered in other pottery painting spaces. 1. There is a $20 fee for simply painting in the space on top of the items you paint/purchase. I suppose this is normal in some places, but I was not accustomed to this. 2. You can only choose five colors, people from the studio have to pour it for you, and you have to wait for them to come around to each table to get more paint. Certain paint colors cost more than others. I understand that the staff members pouring for you is a way to prevent wasted paint, but it was very awkward and inconvenient. There were only two staff members for a crowded room. 3. The space is small and the tables are quite close together. We came on a very busy day, so I would suggest calling ahead to see if there are multiple open tables. It isn't necessarily a relaxing environment for painting. We were able to paint and have a fun time together. That being said, I think the lack of space in the studio, the paint rules, and lack of staffing led to a "just okay" experience. I wouldn't necessarily want to go back.

The kids are going to love it! We had my daughter's 8th birthday party here recently and all the kids had so much fun! Gretchen, the owner & host, has a cozy studio and checks all the boxes for a party: she has decorations, provides coloring sheets, and has the perfect balance of fun, understanding, and authority that keeps the kids on task and having fun. While booking the party you get to pick the project (from a few choices). Day of she walks/teaches the kids through every step of the creation. After, she fires the clay and you pick it up! It was such a delightful experience having a birthday party here that I will be recommending it to others as much as I can. Thank you for the great time, Gretchen!

The staff were friendly,…read morewith the one main room employee going out of his way to attend to my partner's birthday party with such kind, excellent service. The lady at the kiln was so cheerful and sweet, too. Admittedly the prices feel steep, but honestly, the service and quality are so good, with a huge selection of under $20 options, that it kind of balances itself out. I booked the party space a week in advance for $25 and they provided all the tableware, lighters, and knives for cutting the birthday cake, so no worries if you forgot anything! All of the paints are lined up on several shelves opposite the register. There were easily 30+ paint options with textures/speckles, matte, and two-tone. For adults, I found it hilarious that they have 420-friendly selections and some funny pieces to paint. Stop by if you're curious about an art-fueled adventure.

I've visited many times and always find it welcoming with a unique and carefully selected assortment of gifting ideas. They sell beautiful cards hand made by the merchants mother which is usually what I stop in for. I'd like to comment on some of the reviews regarding prices. While you maybe can save a little by ordering and purchasing some of these products online, the prices certainly are not outrageous. I, for one, appreciate having a store to shop in. There is no substitute for being able to see and touch items. A storefront comes with cost. I'm willing to pay a little extra for the shopping experience. I've also seen them sampling products quite often as well which is always great. Keep up the good work!

She was rude, argumentative, and seems to get off by trying to prove a point. I was excited to bring my out-of-town parents here to look for a few specific items. When we got here we parked in the back and walked up to the entrance. The double doors would not open and seemed locked. We saw the sign that said to use the other door, so we tried pulling the other door and it wouldn't open. Another sign claimed the wind makes the door hard to open...but there wasn't a breeze to be felt. After verifying we were there on the right day and the store was in fact to be open, we walked all around the outside looking for the "other door". We found another door towards the front and walked in...only to be told by the woman that we came in the wrong door. We said the main door was locked and she was adamant it wasn't and asked to show me how it wasn't locked. I followed her to the front door and she told me to push. I did and it didn't open. She said no you have to push harder. I did and the heavy door finally opened a smidge. Apparently you're supposed to be as rough with the doors as she is with customers. After I went out to wait for my parents in the car, she then tried to show my mom that the door wasn't locked. FINE! We get it! Your heavy doors are hard for customers to open. I won't be back.
