The array of materials to use is beyond anything I could have expected, as is the choice of pieces to paint. It was clean and bright, and the music added to an already positive atmosphere. I've been there twice...so far. I can foresee many future visits. At first glance, it seems pricey, but when you realize everything that you get - all the materials, the firing, the help, a great place to work - it's a good deal.

A perfect date spot!…read more My husband and I visited The Pottery Stop for the first time today and had a great time! We texted beforehand to see if they had availability for potter painting today and made a reservation. When we arrived, we were quickly greeted, and a staff member explained the process. We got to pick out a piece to paint and there were a great variety of options! Pieces in different shapes and sizes from animals to more traditional dish ware and even fun holiday options. Each piece has a price listed on it as well which was nice to know before selecting an option. We picked matching cats to paint. We had a table reserved with our name on it and got some more directions once seated about tips on painting. The staff again was super friendly and helpful! After we got the intro, we painted away. There were a variety of tools, colors and staff helped us with any questions. Once we were done, we brought our pieces to the front and paid. You get your pieces back 1 week after your visit, and we can't wait to see how ours turned out!

The…read morebuilding is fairly small and the parking is limited but we've certainly come back because of the positive experience. The times we've gone, it's been pretty chill and quiet with only a few other groups painting. There's light background music playing. The owner is friendly, helpful, and accommodating when making reservations or picking colors for your masterpiece. There are about 8 tables inside and one outside that you could paint at. The place setting is put out for you (palette tile, sponge, water) and you get to choose the brushes and paint colors that you'd like to use. There are shelves with various types of items you can paint (bowls, cups, pencil holders, figurines, vases, and the list goes on). There are also examples provided on the shelves to provide you with inspiration. Typically, you pick up the item within a week.

I recently had the pleasure of booking a 21 person pottery class…read more We used our hands as opposed to the wheel. The item we chose? A mug but, it could also be turned into a planter. Instructions were communicated and demonstrated clearly. Our instructors Sarah and Mack were amazing! They offer a wide range of textured items to bring your creation to life! Additionally they have many glazes to choose from! They have individual and group class options if you're interested. I'd definitely book again!

She saw I had my hands full and offered to help us with the stencils and hand painting! She was so amazing with my little guy and so patient with us- I know we were chaotic and crazy. She was just so wonderful and kind to us even helping us while handling & answering the front desk phone. Things like this really mean a lot to us. Definately recommend & will be going back!

What a wonderful addition to Herndon!…read more I attended Potters Union's magnet and pastry event with a friend, and we had the best time. We hadn't seen each other in almost a year, so it was the perfect excuse to catch up while doing something creative. The event was simple and fun. We picked our magnets, selected our paint colors, grabbed some pastries, and spent the next couple of hours painting and chatting. It was such a relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning. Stefani was fantastic, friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. The entire space felt warm and inviting, even for complete beginners. I love that they also offer beginner pottery classes, which I'm already adding to my list for a future visit. It's great to see a pottery studio opening in the area, and I'm excited to support a local business that's bringing creative experiences to the community.

I am very disappointed with my experience and would not recommend this business…read more I enrolled my two daughters in a camp, but about a month before the camp started, I called the office to cancel our registration. During that phone call, I was told that if the camp spots were refilled, I would receive a full refund. If the spots were not refilled, I was told I would receive a 75% credit. I was also told that someone would follow up with me by email regarding the status. A month passed, and I never received any follow-up communication. Instead, I received an email reminding me that my daughters were still enrolled in the camp. When I called the office, I was informed that I would not receive either a refund or a credit. The staff member said she would speak with the owner and let her know what had happened. I asked to speak directly with the owner, but I was told she did not know when the owner would be available to contact me. Later that day, instead of receiving a phone call, I received a text message from the owner, Jeanette Fonseca, stating that they would not be providing a refund or credit because of their Terms and Conditions. I was never given the opportunity to explain that I had relied on the information provided by their staff and genuinely believed would receive at least the 75% credit I had been promised. This was especially frustrating because we had previously enrolled in one of their programs, and when they canceled a class at the last minute, we also did not receive a refund or credit. My biggest concern is not just the outcome, but the lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism. If staff members provide inaccurate information, customers should not be penalized for relying on it. I expected much better customer service, especially when attempting to resolve the issue respectfully. Unfortunately, based on these experiences, I cannot recommend this business.

The Pasadena location is in a shopping center with plenty of parking and easily accessible. Once inside the studio, it's beautifully decorated with art samples, shelves of take home art kits, and other goodies. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The studio has many different rooms depending on what workshop is happening at that time. They host classes and events such as (but not limited to) open studio, special events which focus on a theme or specific art, home school, sewing, and digital art. My daughter has visited Artsy Partsy many times throughout the years and each time she comes home with amazing art to showcase. She has been to a few summer camps, individual workshops as well as private sessions. My daughter's school hosted a paint night with Artsy Partsy which turned out to be a hit. Additionally, my daughter's girl scout troop joined Artsy Partsy's 1.5 hour drawing event which covers all the requirements for Juniors to earn the Girl Scout's Drawing Badge. My daughter really enjoys creating art and has gained many skills from Artsy Partsy. Our family will continue refer them to family and friends as well as continue to attend any workshops they host!
