I first heard of this place on LivingSocial. I bought an offer for a glass fusion class. Oh yes my friends, this isn't just pottery painting. They offer candlemaking, clay sculpting, mosaics, glass painting and FREE popcorn. It is a really fun creative space. The staff is incredibly helpful with ideas and explanations. There are a million different things you can paint, decorate and create. They even offer mixed media classes on occassion. So far I have been three times and keep taking more people. I am getting addicted to being there. For heaven sakes they have a snack bar with keurig coffee, brownies, pop, water and whatever someone brought in for reasonable prices. Or they will let you bring in food. During our class one group brought in beer, so you better believe it gets festive. Make sure to check out their daily special and take friends when you have an urge to make something pretty. read more

See all

Terrible location and the hours of operation and lack of accommodating staff. We arrived on a Sunday to an empty building and then were told we could not start a project. Went to Glazed and Amused in North Canton. Much nicer location and staff. Selection not as good but less homeless when you leave. read more

Fun place to spend a few hours with family, learn something new and create art. You pick your favorite ceramic, receive some instruction, pick your colors and get painting! Two hours later we all had a favorite artwork. In five days we'll pick up the finished product. Great family time. read more

So. I NEVER ever get to write reviews anymore, but of course I appreciate reading them. I am a mom of young children and I'm here to tell you, if you have any, bring them to Hot Pots. They have so much more to do than just pottery and a quicker turn-around time for pick up than most places. Some stuff was same day, and others were only 5 days to be fired and ready for pick up! The girl who waited on us was BEYOND patient and kind and her knowledgeable input really made the experience that much better. She brought my kiddos popcorn and helped out with our pieces. It was such a pleasant and exciting treat for them. Eager to go back and do something with their glass fusion, mosaic and candle making sections. Lots of little details in decor and such were very thoughtful. Oh. And they also have hot drinks for $1.50. Noooottttt baddd. Have fun!!! read more

I can go in, pick out my project and just relax and enjoy myself. There are so many projects. Im going tomorrow and make something. I recommend hot pots to anyone who likes crafts or spending time with your children or grandchildren. AWESOME!!!! read more

I really enjoy going to Hot Pots when I am feeling creative and have some extra cash. There are a lot of different activities that you can choose from (paint, mosaics, glass fusion, candle making, etc.). The workers are usually pretty friendly and check on your progress with whatever you are working on. They will often make suggestions when you're stuck on what to do. The only time that I have had bad service is when Hot Pots gets busy. When it's busy, you won't be offered popcorn, they rarely check on you, and you're left waiting to pay or get help. It's a bit pricey, but they have specials throughout the week to make it a little more worth while. read more

All the people here make you feel like family. Everyone is so helpful & friendly. You can't believe all the new and fun things you can do.

The shelves are stocked with new things all the time. I love love love these owners & workers. read more

This is a fantastic place to spend the day painting, making glass jewelry, candles, etc. The staff are highly knowledgeable and very helpful with any project that you decide to pick. I've been painting pottery at places like this for a while and this is hands down the best one I've been to so far. There's even a pet bunny in the store. read more
