Free Wi Fi for dads while kids design masterpieces. Anyway besides the prices the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The smells from next door are a nice bonus too!

It was a mediocre thing to do on a boring, rainy day. You enter the place through the coffee shop…read morenext door which is different....? When I got in, a young girl explained prices and procedures, $8 dollars for "studio time" for painting, and then the additional cost of the ceramic pottery. When I got my pieces and sat down, I was told I could only pick 5 colors from their selection for my decorative plate and 5 for my nephew for his piece, each additional color was another charge. I think it was .50-.75 per extra paint. Bogus. Whatever, my nephew and I painted. It ended up being about a $70 activity which was surprising because at Plaster Fun Time with $70 I could probably paint a quarter of the store. Just over priced. Especially asking people to pay for "studio time". This studio time should be included in the price of the pieces. You have to pay for the time, the pieces, the paint, I'm surprised they don't charge you for the brushes or water. I won't be coming here again :)

My family goes to the OBX for summer vacation every year. We always find time to do a family craft…read more- we've done so many things - pottery, painted ceramics, wine & paint, jewelry, tie-dye but this mixed media was - By. Far. Our. FAVORITE! It was so much fun, perfect for all levels of creativity/skill, and the instructor/owner was delightful. I changed my mind on my project shortly after beginning & asked if I could do a different design, offering to pay for the supplies I'd used. She was fabulous, gracious, & generous. Another aspect of her teaching style that I really appreciated was that she would help as much or as little as a student wanted. If we had done this craft earlier in the week, we all agreed that we would have gone back again, there were so many cool designs and it was so much fun. If I could give 10 stars I would.

The exterior of the building is nicely maintained and upon walking in the store I was totally mesmerized at all of the stuff to look at. They have tons of yard flags and other cute little knock knacks to stick in the garden. They also carry a variety of OBX souvenirs, Christmas ornaments and other knick knacks. The store has almost a rural, southern, country side general store feeling to it. They have some cute displays and the staff is very friendly.

For the fathers to be this is your shot to get your little girl or boy their first bib with the your team. Football gnomes, decals.. I can go on and on.

Great stuff, the mans personal fan zone! Ohh and did I say EVERYTHING related to sports! yea I did. I will be coming back here again when come back down to OBX for our next vacation. Go in and and become a kid again, you will thank me.
