Went for a kids 9yr old birthday party, the selection to paint was so so. Very low energy, the person helping with party was very unenthusiastic and kind of out of sorts. Very little interaction with the kids or adults with instructions or even how to get your creation back. However the kids seemed to have an ok time not sure I would recommend for kids party, but maybe for other situations. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. Horribly management. We painted pottery and the experience of painting was fine! But when our pottery took over 8 weeks to be finished that was upsetting. We called after the suggested time after not hearing anything and were given a vague message saying it would be done soon and that the manager was out of town so things were backed up. Then, 6 weeks later we were told it was ready to be picked up. However once I arrived only 1 of the 3 painted pieces were there. I told the girl behind the counter that we were missing and she checked but couldn't locate them. I asked for the managers number and was denied and told to email... very disappointing experience that wasted time and money. read more

Came here after seeing an instagram post about it as something for my daughter to as a birthday present. Not really impressed by this place. No direction on what to do with the glass fusion. Somewhat was told how to do the mosaic. Daughter had more fun at Color Me Mine than this place. read more

Had a great time. The associate Umaymah was exceptionally helpful. She explained the process so well and was always close by when we needed assistance. Overall, a lovely crafts day. read more

Had a great experience! The person who helped my partner and I, Umaymah, was really informative and knowledgeable about the glass fusing process. Will be back! read more

Loved it!!!! Great atmosphere, many different items to design, paint, make and choose from. Relaxing environment, staffs are friendly, helpful, and interactive. Staffs actually really care about their customers! I sat and watch them check every so often on each customer (that was awesome to me). I did canvas painting and my son did pottery painting, it's lots of fun, and something cool to do with the family. I will be visiting again, maybe for candle making on my next visit. read more

Absolutely loved my experience here today! I bought groupons for my mom, a friend, and I for our birthdays and we had so much fun. It was super easy to call and book everything over the phone. They took down my groupon voucher number and we selected the day to come. We received a warm welcome and told where to sit. Make Expression is a medium sized art studio with several tables surrounded by shelves full of owls, cups, bowls, dinosaurs, and anything else you can think of that can be painted. Imagine it and they have it! Kate was our instructor and she was super nice, encouraging, and helpful. I did not do the best job with my painting, but she told me that anything we do can be fixed--and she wasnt lying. Literally I made so many mistakes and I just painted right over it. A little bit of white and yellow paint really goes a long way. I am not sure if the wine messed up my painting skills or not--but, my painting turned out okay. I think I may hang it where no one can see it, but I am so glad that I tried anyway! My mom and my friend also had a great time and their paintings turned out amazing!! I definitely recommend Make Expression for families and childrens birthday parties. I love that you can bring in your own wine, but this is definitely a more family friendly place versus a girls night spot. It was still a great experience though! read more

My daughters (9&7) attended the cartooning class today --it was wonderful! They went above and beyond to gently teach all the children at the table and it shows in the artwork. The woman teaching was extremely kind, encouraging and helpful. This was a $10 special (per kid) and we'll definitely be going back! It was a great way to introduce our children to the art scene and make sure they were interested before committing to weekly classes. Give them a try! read more

Did research on the best place to take my 7 year old for a day date! Checked the hours and drove in traffic to be here on time. We've been sitting in the car for 20 minutes waiting for someone to come open the store. I even called the store phone to double check that the website hours were correct. No we've wasted time driving, waiting and I have a sad 7 year old. read more

Make Expression - Art Classes Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Summer camps are a big scam. The description indicates 2 projects per day however one of those projects is watercoloing on plain piece of paper. Save your money and time. It's not worth the price you pay. read more

I was mostly disappointed by my experience. I came in with my three kids to create a ceramics gift for Mother's Day. We were the only ones in the shop and the customer service was disappointing. The employee working was on her phone almost the entire time. My son asked her a question three times, I asked twice before she noticed. She sent us to get our own paint without any help or instructions. She never checked in on us, never offered to get help or see if we needed anything. I don't mind spending a bit more for an experience. I tried this shop because it was closer to our house but I'll return to some of the other shops in the area I have been to before that were much more family-friendly and helpful. read more

Not a good place if you'd like to have a stressless party for your kiddos...had a birthday party for my 11 year old with 12 friends, and all host did was to teach the kids how to paint the pottery and that's literally all, no serving food or anything, we had to be our own waitress to pass out food, drinks and organize kids to sing birthday songs. But anyways pottery was great, just not a place for party. read more

We have been there for drop in art a few times and always loved the experience. However, my daughter just had her 10 year old birthday there and it was not a great experience. Overall the staff was not helpful from start to finish. The moment we walked in the door, they did the least amount of effort at every stage. They didn't help bring in anything or even ask to help take anything out. My mom and I ran the party. Which for $675 is crazy. For further detail--the room was hot but party host insisted we keep door closed, I had to continuously ask for additional support with additional paper towels, brushes and paint, there was no matches to light candles and that was never expressed in any conversations, there were limited pencils for kids to use, the paper towels were out in bathroom...and the host made comments on the volume of the kids while I was signing the tab at the end. It was 22, 10 year olds--volume is expected. No one was misbehaving--they were kids having fun at a birthday party. Honestly, if no tip were an option on the credit card receipt, I would have. It was greatly disappointing. I have had 4 friends ask about the party since I posted pictures--and although the kids had a blast--I cannot in my right mind recommend your facility for birthday parties. Your staff isn't excited about them and the money was entirely too high for the experience. read more

We signed up for the summer camp for my kid and she loved it. All the projects replicate the theme for that week. She got each day a different project with different medium. There was pottery, acrylics, mosaics over acrylic painting, water colors. I have signed up again for this month and excited to see the projects she's going to bring. read more

My teenage daughter and I had a lot of fun making art together one recent Sunday afternoon. The studio wasn't very busy - and there were plenty of projects to select from. It was a nice experience - definitely recommend. read more

This is an absolutely wonderful place. The person who is working that day it was name Katie, she was extremely helpful and very fun to talk to. My boyfriend and I came with two friends of ours. We all ended up painting pottery, I was extremely impressed with the selection of different clay to paint. I was somewhat disappointed because I wanted to make the pottery myself, but in the end I was grateful they had a lot to choose from. Because I would've never been able to accomplish making a small cat. It was very clean, and she and forced wearing mask I loved it. We came in during the slow time, so there was just us within the building. During that time she was very informational on how to successfully paint pottery since none of us I've done it before. She even helped my boyfriend draw a particular image that he wanted on the clay he was painting, it was an awesome experience I would definitely recommend this to anyone. read more

Make Expression - Small cat, painted - Art Classes Near Me - Frisco, Texas

This place is super fun and relaxing, well priced and a great way to spend an afternoon!

We arrived with our two small children (1&2 years old) and were turned away due to the fact that our kids didn't have masks on. I totally understand that it's the new "normal" but you can't expect a 1 and 2 year old to keep a mask on for a long period of time. I find it a bit ridiculous with even staying 6 feet apart they are expecting younger ages to wear mask. read more

Went here one afternoon doing a team building its was fun to just paint only thing was the room felt small but maybe cause it was full

I hosted my daughter's 5yo birthday party here a few months ago and the staff and owner were absolutely wonderful and very patient with all 20 kids! The owner modified an adult painting that my daughter liked to make it age appropriate. They were very accommodating as we brought in party food/drinks. All the kids had a wonderful time. The facility is very family friendly and offers a variety of creative projects. I'm looking forward to going back soon! read more

My boyfriend and I did the byo wine and paint session and it was so much fun! It's very intimate just the two of us and one other person. But the teacher was lovely and it was a nice out of the box date night for us. We recommend! read more
