This was my first experience, but we will return! Go try it out!

There is a huge selection of paint your own pottery, canvas painting and glass fusion, plus they have a pottery wheel! It is so hard to find a pottery wheel around Memphis, but they have one here! My kids love the Kids' Corner (a cozy, out-of-the-way pocket for small children to play cars or dolls or even take a nap on the little sofa) and all of the kids' items for painting, plus even my husband will come in with us because they'll put the game on for him.

RUDE NOT RESPECTFUL…read more DOESN'T NEED TO BE AROUND ANY CHILDREN FOR AN EVENT. Children are individual and creative. They do not need you to paint over their individual creativity. They do not need you changing or telling then their color is wrong. How RUDE and disrespectful can you treat each child. How rude to tell parents to step away when their child asked for their help not yours! How extremely rude to tell several parents they could leave and take their child's canvas because: Group pictures how to be made The party was not over! Seriously!!! Several parents had other commitments and had to leave 20 minutes early. I spoke with several art teachers who said they never paint over or touch a child's individual creativity on any art project. The will give guidance but never paint or try to change something on the child's canvas or whatever the creative art project is at the time. I am very shocked to find out this RUDE female was the owner. I am shocked she even has a business still open! We will never attend an event again. We will let everyone we know how rude and hateful this owner is to customers.

We weren't even the only ones there. Then, the same girl kept complaining about her job and when my daughter asked her for some help with getting paint she said "I don't see why she can't get it herself, like, can she reach it?" Then, she kept giving us warnings as to how many minutes we had left to paint before they closed at 7:45* mind you. If that's not enough, we asked for a high chair and she just kept sweeping and ignored us until we went to go get it (which is not a problem for us to get it but we only had a little bit of time to paint so her getting it for us would've been nice) We love painting and this was my Mother's Day gift and the staff here was just not good at all. Will never come back. Also very expensive. One tiny kids thing for $28

Came in today to purchase a couple of items and as she's scanning them, she mis-scanned some items and I brought it up to her. She began getting nasty with me and was rude but I kept persisting. Then she began mumbling to herself while I was still standing in front of her. You'd think that an older woman would be a little wiser and nicer but that wasn't the case here. If she's having a bad day or something then she needs to go sit down and calm down till she can speak to customers without being rude to them.

I spent $55 AND the items missing were around $15. I called the store from home and was put on hold after I said I was missing those items....I got in car to return to store. I drove to the store and no one ever returned to the call 20 min. later. I spoke with the manager and she said they were looking at the cameras, I said, great! Twenty minutes later they said a second manager was going to look at the cameras again....they were making feel like I had done something with the pen and stickers? I thought no one is making me feel this way and I re-purchased the items and left. When I got home the manager called me and said they found the items in question outside? She said I could come by and pick them up and she apologized. I won't be going back EVER!
