The instructor Monica was extremely friendly and happy to talk about her place of business, her background and how she decided to open her business. Monica even had her children assisting her. That was such a great touch. Family is everything! We were given two hearts to paint. I decided on one each, small and large(I would have taken pictures before they went into the kiln, but I'm embarrassed, lol). Also giving a shout out to the lady that made the cupcakes, DSSWEETTREAT, Bravo! Very moist and delicious. Thanks for a great night. Can't wait to see my finished product.

A paint/glaze your own pottery studio with zero studio fees?! Count me in!…read more Fees are included in the listed price. However, I've been to a handful of pottery studios and the prices at Cactus Rose are still significantly less than a traditional studio fee. Options are: paint and take home same day or glaze and pick up in a week or two. Pottery Wheel classes are available intimately for $45/person which includes four bowls, glazed and fired in the kiln. Huge shop full of summer camps for the kiddos, pottery retail, fun t shirts and tumblers for purchase and events held often!

My daughter and I frequently come here to paint and absolutely love it. We have gone to several…read moreplaces to paint ceramic pieces and by far this place beats out the rest especially in price. They don't charge a studio fee which is amazing. They have a good selection of pieces to paint. The hardest part is picking which piece you would like to paint. They also have several other things to make here other than just painting a ceramic pieces. We haven't done anything else yet but we are planning on it in the future. This is a great place to take your kids and enjoy an afternoon with them. The owner is very friendly and personable.

My daughter attended a kids art class a few months ago and is dying to go back. The owner is the kindest human I've ever met. Such a gem. He took so much extra time to show us around the store, answer our questions and just tell us about the background of everything. They have fun events and camps during the summer as well. OH and there's a bar too!! What doesn't this place have??

We are awful patrons as we showed up late and had to leave early due to a babysitting situation. I…read morewish I knew what we were getting into as I thought their plant night would be an opportunity to try and bring plant life back into our home. I figured there would be instruction and tips and an open forum for questions. And I believe there was all of that, however, nothing that I could actually hear. The woman instructing was very sweet and friendly and put in a bad situation where the room that she reserved was not available or some failing occurred. Everyone should have been given the choice to re-schedule as no one at our table could hear anything. We were asked often if we could hear and every time I shook my head indicating I could not hear but yet she still spent all her time at the other table with a few attempts to come closer to our table when a question/answer session started. It became SO frustrating not being able to hear that I tuned out hoping we'd get home in Time for the sitter, wishing I could just get the supplies and finish in my comfortable, quiet home with no equines within 6 feet of me. NOT the relaxing, enjoyable, therapeutic experience we were hoping for and next time we will spend the 11$ (the fee ON TOP of Groupon pricing you will get charged) on a similar planted/Halloween plant at Michaels Regarding the woman that tried to teach this class I feel bad for her as she may not know how to handle these unexpected situations and may be limited in what she can offer but this was unacceptable.... We were forced to be a bigger part of the bar experience then we would have liked. We got there about 8 minutes late and she checked our names but other people at the table were musing how anyone could have taken their seat as their Groupon was never checked...and we were in the middle of a bar. The people at my table were complaining about the 11$ fee on top of the Groupon fee... young professionals feeling like they got ripped off isn't a way to inspire repeat business... IF THERES A FEE include it in a higher Groupon price so people don't go into it feeling ripped off or leaving feeling even worse when the experience was a failure. I had forgotten that fee but the young professionals had not. Skip the plant nite... even if everything has been as it should have been I believe this group on Would have been a failure either way and I would never recommend or do again... the conservatory has free workshops all the time and often you take things home with you... all for less (admission is 4$) then the "additional fee" with this company

Had a blast! Great date night and if the people in my group are any indication a great girl's…read morenight out. I like that this company goes to different venues to have painting parties. It allows you to check out a place you might otherwise have never visited which makes it super easy to surprise someone. Guys, make the reservations online and take your lady out to dinner or for drinks and surprise her when the painting party starts! Our facilitator was Rachel and she was awesome. She dumbed it down enough that even I felt like I was doing okay! The fact that they visit different places to hold the parties is probably the reason why there are so few reviews here but the night I went if we had all reviewed there would be twenty more 5 star reviews on here. We all had a good time and it was fun meeting new people and going outside my comfort zone to do something new. Will definitely do this again!

She explained the entire process thoroughly and was just great to talk to. In the end I think we were in the studio for about an hour and a half or two hours. You are allowed to bring your own food and drinks but i would recommend sticking to just the drinks unless you want to eat clay or have crumbs on your vase. It was such a casual and fun low pressure experience that it made us want to become members so that we could come and create whenever we want. I will say that there is a giant dog in the studio and a cat that just wander around unleashed so if that bothers you maybe mention something before you get there or don't buy a ticket. ($100 per couple) The vases were ready for pickup in about a month so plan accordingly if you are doing this as an out of towner or are planning to move within the month after doing this. I would absolutely recommend this to everybody. We have no pottery skills but in the end came out with beautiful pieces that we love. Thanks so much Core Clay!!

How lucky is Bellevue to have RESN8 in the neighborhood! I attended one of their pour-paint classes…read morewhich was so fun and unique. I have done several of those "paint party" type classes at other venues so this was a great change of pace and I actually preferred this type of class- no stress, no artistic ability needed, and I liked the end result better than any of my other paintings. The instructor, Patricia, was very nice and accommodating, we were offered wine or water upon arrival and then went to the downstairs of the gallery for the class. We arrived early so had the pleasure of walking through the gallery beforehand. It's a beautifully renovated space and had a lot of nice pieces displayed. I would highly recommend RESN8 for one of their art classes or for a gallery visit!

I'm continually impressed by the growth of all her students (with widely varying levels of experience) in a variety of mediums (acrylic, watercolor, pastels, pencil...) and techniques. I had absolutely no art experience and am amazed at the art I've created with her. She knows her stuff - she has taught at the college level, and her awesome paintings hang around. And you can't beat the price for her 2-hour classes with individual attention. One caveat: if you need structure, this probably isn't for you. Everyone is working on their own project and their is no strict "syllabus" to work through. I've come to really enjoy that
