What was supposed to be a magical birthday celebration for my daughter at Disneyland got completely rained out. Who came to the rescue? In The Kiln! We scrambled for a last-minute change of plans, and it turned out to be absolutely perfect. They were incredibly accommodating: we hosted the birthday party right in the studio, decorated the space, brought our own food and non-alcoholic drinks, and set up a special designated area for the birthday girl and her friends. Laura and Bob were beyond patient and so helpful with the kids, guiding them every step of the way to make sure everything came out just right. The selection of pottery pieces is huge (overwhelming in the best way) and they even surprised us with a complimentary plate featuring all her friends' little fingerprints. What a thoughtful touch! It was such a fun, creative day, and everyone stayed nice and dry. Highly recommend for families, especially when plans go sideways. read more

This place is beyond amazing!! And the staff is out of this world. I recently hosted my daughter's birthday party there. Laura and Bob were so patient with the kids. They helped them come up with crafty ways to paint their pieces. Children and parents alike all had fun. I definitely would recommended this place for hosting parties. They allow you to bring food and have a good counter space to accommodate it. They even provide a complimentary decorated plate for the birthday kid, customized to fit the occasion. Such a special touch. read more

What a great experience. Laura was super helpful and knowledgeable I will definitely be back read more

In The Kiln was such an awesome experience! My family really enjoyed bonding over some relaxing painting, and loved browsing through the literal hundreds of options to personalize. I can't wait until the pieces are fired and ready for pickup so we can see how amazing everything came out. Before we left everyone was already looking for their next piece- I can't wait to return! John was great to guide us through the process and we all really appreciated his expertise and patience. read more

This place was fantastic! We will definitely come back. We had a group of 10 and they were able to accommodate us. Several little ones ages 3-7 and Bob was so kind and patient and helpful with them. I really feel like I should have paid a babysitting fee lol. When he saw they were getting impatient while the adults tried to finish their pieces he stepped right in and helped to keep them entertained. He even gave us a quick tour of the facilities at the end of our visit. Definitely a fun outing and highly recommend this place! read more

This review is LONG OVERDUE! Linda and the whole team did everything in their power to make my wedding dream come true! My husband and I had a Hundred Acre Woods themed wedding, and 6 months before, I thought: could it be possible to paint our "Hunny pots"? I walked in expecting my vision to be too ambitious, however, the team made recommendations that took us on an incredible centerpiece creation journey. Linda ensured we ordered and tested, and experimented with our color pallet and methodology, and she hosted not just one, but two, wonderful centerpiece painting parties for me and my bridesmaids. By the time we were done, we had over 10 gorgeous bespoke centerpieces out on display on our special day, but even more, I could not be more happy to have worked with such a great team, who not only exceeded my expectations, but gave me and my loved ones a wonderful experience to cherish together! Thank you Linda and team! I'm looking forward to return back soon read more

Love this place! The teachers are super helpful if you need any painting tip suggestions. Such a calming and fun atmosphere.

My daughter and I came in for some quality time of painting. It was so nice and quiet. They have a huge selection of ceramics to choose from. The same goes for the paint color selection. Tables are set beforehand and ready to use when you arrive. I made a reservation online and it was very convenient. My daughter enjoyed our time. We will definitely be back soon. read more

We had a great experience! The staff was very helpful and kind. I went with my friends and it was really relaxing. We got to choose as many colors as we wanted and they had a wide variety of pottery to paint. The prices were pretty affordable and they did not pressure us to finish. If we needed any help they were always there. I definitely recommend!! read more

This place is the absolute best! They have such an amazing assortment of bisque ware (ask to see the back) and the owners were incredibly knowledgeable and sooo helpful. I came to shop, but they offer many classes, and they do parties for kids, or I'm sure for any age. I've been driving to Aardvark, or Laguna and to know this is so close to my house is great. The best experience, great pricing. I will be here often. read more

Was looking for somewhere to entertain my kids for an afternoon & found this place online. We booked online for a 2hr Sat session. The owner was super nice and showed us around. He gave us tips and showed my kid this special technique for painting his owl every step of the way. He's so patient & friendly. We even got a tour of their backstage area where they mix the clay, make the pieces & the kiln. We went back & got our finished product the next week & the kids ended up picking something else to work on. It's a bit pricy but Bob made it all worth it. Owner said they are only open on weekends now since Covid hit them pretty bad. Hope they'll be open more when things gets better. I know I'll end up back here all the time since my kids enjoyed this so much. read more

I can't speak and rave enough about how amazing my experience was today! We made reservations but overall they were not busy. They had an expansive selections of items to paint!

Bob was so helpful! He was informative but super patient and polite. I am already planning my next visit, bringing friends, and continuing to support this amazing business read more

Such a nice welcoming! We arrived there around 8pm and they close at 9; He didn't make us feel rushed, gave us a full disclosure on the options and steps in the process. It's in a very cute and non-crowded location. I took my niece here for the first time and she had the best time. The kind man who worked there even asked us (right before they were about to close) if we'd like to see the backroom and we were like hell yh! He gave us a mini tour to the back and explained to us this different kind of clay. He gave us way more than what we expected. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back! read more

Very cute little place. Great for a date or taking your kids. It is clean, lots of paint options and lots of things to paint. The staff and owner are very kind and helpful, they don't make you feel silly for not knowing what you're doing your first time around. A few things: 1; the price adds up. 2; don't worry about the paint not being dark enough, it will be super dark once cooked 3; they are only open weekends. read more

In The Kiln - My daughter and I painting our vases. - Art Supplies Near Me - San Dimas, California

I brought my 5 year old and 3 year old here to paint Christmas ornaments for our tree. We came in the middle of the afternoon and we were the only ones there. The staff was wonderful. As a whole, having kids this age around a ton of fragile breakable products is a terrible idea, but the staff was easy going and didn't flinch like I did every time the kids touched something. The girl assisting us was very patient and accommodating. She explained in terms the girls could understand. She brought out samples for them to be able to visualize different painting techniques. She filled the girls pallets full with every single color on the planet that they requested-and then another couple full pallets because they wanted ALL the colors. Then another pallet with paints that had sparkles in it. Mind you these kids are painting a 4 inch Christmas ornament. The girls haphazardly start slapping paint on and then realize they should have done a nicer job painting and started freaking out. The girl helping us came to the rescue and was able to wash off their paint so they could start anew. The only thing I wished was different was the facility did not call to notify us the ornaments were done. They said they normally do, but I'm assuming they were pretty busy during the Christmas season. The ornaments came out much nicer than I anticipated!! This is definitely going to become a yearly tradition for us. read more

Awesome customer service. Ive been wanting to do hand and feet prints for my newborn but since everything was closed due to coronavirus, I was quite bummed. I was notified when they opened and offered online orders. I placed an order and it was ready even before the store opened for me to pick up my supplies. I was able to drop off the same day. I will definitely be coming back in the future!!! read more

I have been a Patron of this family run business for more than 12 years. Presently in another location, I have followed them to this newer location. Great people and wonderful service and everything you could imagine wanting in the way of ceramic information and help. They are the reason I can do what I now do. Because of them, I learned to make beautiful small pottery items that hold orchids. I owe everything to this great family and business. And I now make more than simple painted pottery items by commission. read more

I would just like to say I've been coming to this business for over six years now the customer service has been exceptional and I have never been dissatisfied with the work that's been done here.

Wether your on a date or with your kids or your friends stop by here for a lasting memory. read more

Fun activity with a very welcoming environment. On the website it asks for you to make a table reservation, which I did, but when we showed up in the store it seemed like the reservation wasn't very relevant unless you are going to be having a large party or event. But I did appreciate that by putting in my info beforehand, I received email reminders/confirmation or our reservation. The staff was very welcoming, constantly checked in us to make sure we were fairing well, and gave us some technique tips. There was a kids party going on while we were there and they seemed to be having a great time. They also hold classes I believe about once a month on different techniques, so hopefully I'll be able to do that down the line. Overall great experience :) read more

I had been looking for a very specific piece of green ware for a couple of years. An acquaintance suggested contacting In the Kiln. They didn't have stock on the item but cast two special molds just for me. The customer service was exceptional and the pieces were completed in a timely manner as promised. They are gorgeous and I can't wait until they're painted and glazed. The store is bright and well organized and the staff is extraordinary. I'm looking forward to having the time to come back and take classes. This was an A+ experience and I hope anyone interested in ceramics will have a chance to come to the store! read more

Some of the nicest people I've ever met. The owners are SUPER nice and helpful. (Family operates business I believe) She was very patient when we were there about 1 1/2 after they closed and I really appreciated not being rushed out and finishing my piece comfortably. They have a very big selection on the piece of pottery you'd like to paint and then you get to take it home like 7-9 days later. The pricing is pretty fair for the pottery and there's a fee of $8 per person. Will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you to the people who work here who made it a blast! read more

Was looking for something creative to do with my 4 year old son and I was more than happy with the experience we had here. We each picked out a piece to paint, the staff was friendly and explained the steps we needed to do. Bob, I think his name is, was super nice to my little man, showing/explaining how to paint his little ice cream cone. I wanted my son to learn as much as he can so i was interested in seeing the "kiln," I was so pleased they were happy to take us to the back, explained to my little guy how molds were made, how "greenware" was delicate, he even got to smash a couple pieces, then got to see the kiln itself and the glossing machine. The girls there were super nice, even allowed me to play with stencils and silk screen. Finding the place and parking was easy. Overall, great experience. Thank you! I'll bring my 2 year old daughter next time for mommy & daughter day. :) read more
