The person working there (felting while she worked) was also really nice and knowledgeable. The restaurant half left something to be desired. It was hard to even find the people working there (the art person had to help). They said they didn't have everything on the menu but they were able to make a cheese board. The person who brought it didn't tell us anything about the cheeses or meats but they were all delicious. We asked for Cokes. (The person didn't ask about drinks but someone else finally thought to). The drinks definitely weren't Coke and the carbonation/syrup ratio was way off. This place could be amazing if the restaurant was even half as good as the art.

We came here to enjoy a drink and look at the art. The staff were very friendly and provided great…read moreservice. We got wine and Aperol spritzes which were really good. The hummus and chips were also great. They have a lot of paintings and prints and definitely a fun place to go if you like art.

My partner and I had a lovely date night at Clay Dreaming!! We had a reservation and were welcomed…read morein as soon as we arrived. The employees showed us around and made sure we knew where everything was and how to paint our pottery. There was a wide range of items to paint, so there's something for everyone's interests and budget. There was also a wide range of colors and paint brushes. I've done pottery painting a few times and I typically feel a little let down when I get the finished piece back... but not this time! Clay dreaming's instructions and tips for painting helped my piece to turn out just how I wanted it. Thank you to clay dreaming and I recommend this place for a wonderful date night!

We're in the area for the summer so we've been looking for things to do. We were so glad we found…read morethis place! Everyone was very friendly. The woman that assisted us was super thorough and helpful. She gave us tips and recommendations and explained everything perfectly, she even saved my daughter's piece when she "ruined" it (she needs a promotion lol). We tried the clay painting & there was a wide variety of ready made pottery pieces to choose from. I chose a mermaid mug, my daughter chose a cute character mug and my son chose a cute trophy vase/mug? There were tons of paint colors to choose from as well as all the painting accessories (brushes, stencils, sponges, etc). We were reminded that we can't take the pieces home right away since they'll have to go in the kiln but they'll call/text in 7-10 days for pickup. The studio was very clean, organized and spacious. It was also very affordable, they charge $5 per person for the first hour and then $2.50 each additional hour per person and you just buy the ceramic pieces that range from $20 and up. Highly recommend for a fun time with family and friends.

They're outside of my price range though. Although looking up some of his other works, they are very reasonable prices! It depends on what people are willing to pay for art. There are prints and sketches available as well. There's also some custom pottery by a local artist who lives on one of the islands. Her name escapes me as of this writing. That's what I like about these little known artists and stops, you're not going to find them on the internet. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this gallery again: but if you like maritime-themed paintings, or happen to be a fan of John Stobart, then this may be something that you're interested in.
