Always very little inventory! They show alot on display, but they are out of most of what they show. This is the second time we've been here and experienced the same thing the first time. Once you're there you feel the need to pick something. But its an expensive activity so next time I will definitely choose one of the other 2 studios in Frederick that do the same thing. I like this place, too bad they don't stock up. read more

I really love coming to this pottery studio. I don't feel rushed when I paint. The cost is comprised of the pottery cost and then half of the pottery cost for the studio fee. I normally spend 2 hours here. The employees are the sweetest and are extremely helpful. read more

I Made This Pottery Studio - Art Schools Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I really liked the variety of choices. Everything is out for you to use. If you have never done it before you will have track down one of the young ladies. Thankfully, I was with someone who had been there before. The staff were quiet and stayed in their payment area the entire time. When checking out they didn't say anything then either. They both might have been having a bad day. They were out of a few colors like yellow and black. I enjoyed my time there though and I painted a pretty neat bowl. Prepare to wait a few weeks for pick-up. Price is written on the bottom of the chosen piece to paint, plus half the cost for burning. So if you are painting a bowl that's $18, it will be 18+9= $27. Remember that what you paint will be a different color after it's burned, so it's ok if it's a little different when you paint it on. read more

Located in Everedy Square in Downtown Frederick, I Made This Pottery Studio is a super fun place where you can express your creativity and paint various pieces of pottery. There are no reservations, so you just walk in, select your pottery and paint away. I visited on a Sunday, so it was full when I arrived, but the staff took my name and number and called me when as soon as a table opened up, about 25 minutes. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have about paint, brushes, techniques, etc. Visitors pay the price of the pottery, plus half of the sales price for the glaze and firing of the piece. They were having a 20% off sale for Valentine's Day when I went. All sorts of people partake in this activity, so you could find yourself witnessing a children's birthday party, listening to teens laugh and joke around and watching adult couples show off their artistic skills for a fun afternoon out. You can also bring your own food and drinks to partake while you paint. I would definitely recommend this studio to people of all ages and artistic levels. It's a super fun and relaxing activity. read more

The staff kept us safe and required everyone to wear masks, there was plenty of supplies that were clean and well-kept. We had such a wonderful time. Our girls really enjoyed themselves. It wasn't super busy and everyone was spread out so we felt safe. We can't wait to see the finish work! The products there in the choices available were amazing. read more

This is an amazing place! Mike is very helpful! Our pottery turned out awesome because of his helpful tips! I highly recommend going here!

This is a simply wonderful business! I Made This is a "paint your own pottery studio" nestled in Everedy Square in Downtown Frederick. This colorful studio will remind you of elementary school art class, in the best way possible. The concept is simple. They provide the pottery, the paint, and the space. You paint, play, and enjoy. They clean up and glaze/fire your artwork. A week or so later, you pick it up and take it home! The location has a fun, colorful vibe. I came here with a girlfriend on a rainy Saturday. The shop was filled with people of all ages, everybody from couples on dates to families. When you walk in, grab a table and browse the pottery. The walls are lined with everything from mugs and plates to monsters and unicorns! Once you pick your piece, you have free-range of the paint, brushes, stencils and other tools. Then you paint! Once you're finished, just take your artwork to the counter and they'll explain the rest. The two staff members were very patient and helpful with our questions through the whole process. The pricing is fair and there is a decent range to choose from. I painted a medium-sized serving dish and it was $25, including the firing, but you can easily spend more or less. Not bad considering we easily spent two hours painting and chit-chatting. I LOVED my time here and have already made plans to bring others! read more

Great place to be creative - love this wonderful spot in Frederick ! Paint (glaze) pre- made pottery on your own time. Bring a friend, bring a meal, bring a bottle of wine - it's simply relaxing read more

I Made This Pottery Studio - Samples of pottery you can style your way - Art Schools Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Really fun place! Options are unlimited. I brought my kids in and they had a blast. The 5 year old speed thru it and I don't think enjoyed it as much as the 7 year old. Just a thought for other parents out there :). I would like to go back for myself. Prices are well within reason. Didn't interact with staff much, but they were polite. read more

I really like this place. I haven't been in a while but I used to go almost every other month. It's a nice little shop to paint. They provide a variety of pre-made pottery, as well as a range of colors. Although It takes a while to be put through the kiln, very worth it in the end and you'll enjoy the outcome! read more

I Made This looks like an amazing place from online and when you get there, but by the end of my experience I knew I wouldn't want to go back. The guy I dealt with, who I believe is the owner, was not helpful or kind in any way. He was short in his responses, did not answer my questions, and was rude with what he did say. This happened both times I was there (when we painted and when I picked up our pottery). When i went to pay, the bill came to $95 for three children and one adult. You pay for the cost of the item (most kid items are around $15 or $20 and you pay half of the item cost in glaze and firing. I painted a simple picture frame that cost $16 and so I paid $24 for my piece. So after all the expense I expected our items to come out in the same condition that we left them, but no... The glazing was done carelessly and left smears and spots all over my light colored picture frame. There was also a black streak on it. I have painted pottery MANY times and know that I didn't mess it up myself. I was very unimpressed with this place. I won't be going back or recommending this place to anyone. There's another pottery place in Frederick, maybe I will go try that place. read more

See all

Had a problem with a missing piece. My daughter stopped in a week or so later, and there it was. Make sure to leave a copy of info sheet w the owner who can be on the lookout if a piece of yours ever goes missing. Because I was given the info sheet, they had no way to contact me. The phone number I gave the young girl was misplaced. All is well, owner responded kindly. read more

They need an adult working there and not 3 girls that just sit behind the desk. Not helpful to people who have never been before. Really......engage with your customers. Won't go back. read more

My first time here & it was totally awesome ! Definitely will be back! The wonderful variety of things to paint & the possibilities are endless . Found out that they do parties and stuff too such a better idea then the typical kids running around all over the place kinda party . Great place to express creativity and practice artistic abilities ! read more

I have been going to this place for a long time, and probably average 2 - 3 visits per month. My kids love painting pottery, but I think we will need to find a new place to do it. I used to be a big fan of this place, but when I went to pick up our latest pottery creations I met who I believe is the owner. He was so rude and condescending. Apparently, his staff gave me some incorrect information, which he then blamed me for. I am a very loyal customer and did not deserve his attitude. I will not support a business with an owner who is so disrespectful to his customers. I have also noticed streaks on some of our pieces that have happened due to careless handling by the staff. read more

My kids love this place. Great location. There is plenty of parking in downtown Frederick. Prices are reasonable. We always have a great time there. read more

Went here with my daughter this past weekend. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and they didn't rush us at all. My daughter can't wait to get her dolphin she painted. The girl with long blonde hair checked us out, and she was delightful. Can't wait to come back for Ladies Night! read more

We had a great time here. Four of us went, including a child. My grandmother had never been to a paint your own pottery before, and everyone was friendly and helpful. The child with us had a great time picking out her pottery and painting/repainting it many times because the rest of us were taking our time. I think the prices are okay, not the lowest I've seen, but it's in a cutesy downtown area, so I think that's why it's a little higher. My only complaint is that the staff were in a separate room doing stuff, and I think that they should be in the same room as the customers. Especially considering it was a Saturday, and it was fairly busy read more
