We went here for the first time for my daughter birthday back in 2023. With the price I was…read moreexpecting to actually make the pottery and then paint it. However that wasn't the case. It was overpriced, already made pottery for you to paint. Although it was overpriced, I will say it was very therapeutic and we enjoyed ourselves. We returned again in 2024, but this time for a homeschool pottery class. I absolutely love that they have planned days for homeschoolers to come in and create different projects. The pricing for that was better and again the kids enjoyed themselves.. The owner and other ladies were kind during both of our interactions. I recommend visiting this place solo or with a group for some therapeutic fun. Recommended

There were great options to choose from to paint and they have some other activities as well. Jessica was the lovely lady who helped us and gave great information and instructions. They had a lot of different tools and techniques that I hadn't seen before. I also really appreciated that they encouraged us to take the bottles of paint needed to our table. A previous place I had gone to, filled our palettes for us and told us to ask for more if needed which was very frequent and difficult when it was busy. Anyways, we got our mugs and our paint and began to art! We had a great time and felt no pressure to get finished quickly. I am looking forward to seeing our finished prod

If I am looking for a gift or card, their selection is fabulous with whimsical offerings from local artists. Gifts like socks, key chains, mugs, and a modest selection of options to fit your person's needs.

They have supplies and partner with a pizzeria nearby. I'm extra and so is my child. She wanted a "Mermaid Glow Dance Party". This venue has the glow dance party down to a science. They allowed me to bring my own ballon theme in, but they also have ballon options as an add on. Booking was EASY, but the best part for me was when I dropped everything off the morning of the party (because they set everything up for you), and ordered from the cafe. Their muffins. . . SO good. They have lots of other options in the café also. All I can sum it up with is you have to look at their website and visit their cafe. They have SO much to offer, including cookie decorating, camps during breaks, and so much more. The best venue I've ever used and was definitely worth the price.
