Parking was easy since we came right at opening but there are plenty of spaces in the back parking garage. I definitely recommend making a reservation online for your party. It's very easy to do on their website. Walking in we were greeted warmly by the staff and he explained the process to us. All the painting materials and form are on the table all set up and there shelves upon shelves of ceramic projects we can choose from. There were so many choices from small plates to big jugs and lots of seasonal and fun things for any occasion. The space is open, bright, and so colorful! It looked like there was a nice space in the back area for bigger parties. Our friend's daughter did a simple small plate ($25!) and my daughter painted a bigger skull plate ($33) and everything has a huge range it just depend on what you want to paint and how much money you want to spend. This is definitely about the experience and spending time doing something fun and relaxing together but I still got a little sticker shock. They also charge $6/kid and $10/adult studio fee. We felt very comfortable here and was not rushed The turnaround on the things we painted was very fast (less than a week!) The staff were so friendly and helpful and it was a great experience for the girls and they were very proud of their work! We might come back when they are a little older to make more keepsake things.

(All paints and brushes are included in the price of whatever you decide to paint) you can stay as long as you want and paint your heart away!

So if you're thinking of going, just do it.

Mom's gift was quality time with all her kids together in one place. As they get older they scatter and they all do their own things. The oldest moves out & the teenagers are male & female (vinegar and water). Thank you for having a fun group activity that we can share together and enjoy a few precious hours of making memories. BONUS! We all have a precious momento from that day we can use over and over through the years.

Went here and had a terrible experience. I was helped by Brittany who seems like she's never talked…read moreto a human in her life before but somehow landed a job at this dead end ceramic painting shop that has such a weak and expensive selection I almost started painting my own face just to keep my self busy. Brittany if you are reading this, ask your self, do people deserve to be costumer serviced by you? The answer is no, there is enough cruelty in the world. I would rather burn my money into charcoal before spending another dime here.

Just this summer alone I've been to painted plate 3 separate times! (Parties, girls nights and…read morewhatnot) Each time something different impacted the experience in a negative way. One trip we sat by the window and we were all boiling!!! On their Facebook/IG it always says come in and enjoy A/C but the employee told us it's always super hot by the windows, so no hope of a cool environment if you're in a big party. On another visit (with my 5yr old) it took them almost 50min to bring out her Italian soda. We basically took it to go at that point. I also feel like prices have gone up a lot. The average piece is around $50 or you can paint a ceramic animal for closer to $20. Overall I know I'll be back because the employees are great and getting to paint your own pottery is fun, but I wish the building/food experience was better! Still 4 stars, and watch their social media for deals!

So much fun for the family and kids of almost any age. We were there with a group of 5 to 10 year…read moreolds and a baby. When it's busy, the place can get awfully squishy so I'd recommend making a reservation during weekends and holiday seasons. They also have coffee and ice cream. Regardless of the season, they still push out the finished projects in the same time so we were there on a Sunday, our items were ready for pick up the next Monday. Once your seat is reserved, you walk in and pick your items to paint and a helper will bring it to your table. The paints are on the table and you need to find the number that matches the sample pallet, which is very helpful because it shows you what the paint will look like afterwards. You can write the numbers on the paper on your table to help remember what colors you're using as a helpful tip. There's many sizes of brushes and paint pens. Afterwards add your name on the bottom and take a picture of your work, that's how you claim it.
