My wife got out of the car and was at the door inside that window. They wouldn't let her in without me, and I was still parking. I walked in 11 minutes after the start -- one minute past their cutoff. There were maybe four to six people in the room. I explained the family situation involving my son. I told them it was our anniversary. My wife was distraught, and I pleaded with them and tried to reason with them. They turned us away anyway. We weren't asking anyone to slow the class down or stay late -- we would have caught up on our own. My wife left humiliated on the day she had planned as a gift. I get it -- you have to run a business, and you have to start on time. But she was there inside the window you gave us and you wouldn't seat her. It came down to one minute and two people standing in front of you, and you chose the minute. The class started without us. So did the last impression I'll have of this place.

Everyone had so much fun painting their own pottery, and it was a unique and memorable party activity. The studio was clean, well-organized, and the party ran smoothly from start to finish.

I had planned a field trip to Hello Pottery for one of my summer camps and was really looking…read moreforward to the mosaic candle experience. I was instructed to come in person to pay a deposit to reserve our date, which I did. About a week before our scheduled trip, I emailed multiple times to confirm that everything was ready. When I didn't receive a response, I also called several times but was unable to get a response. Unfortunately, when our camp arrived, what I had reserved was not prepared at all, and the entire experience felt very disorganized. It was especially disappointing after making the effort to reserve the date and follow up ahead of time. Sadly, I won't be returning or booking future field trips here. I was really looking forward to the experience for our campers, so this was very disappointing.

On a busy Sunday afternoon, I found myself circling the parking lot for almost 30 minutes before getting lucky enough to get a tight cramp spot. The store is located to the left side of the super market. They had an assortment of pens, notebooks, and art supplies. I was able to get some goodies from here. Again, the store can be cramped, a little warm, and hectic, but you walk out with really good finds. I feel their price point is pretty reasonable, and their selection is great considering the size of the store. Staff is nice and seems helpful. Overall, cute Japanese stationery store to visit for all your stationery needs whether you're a seasoned artist or beginner. They have everything for everyone. My favorite was their journal selection, they had many good brands from Campus to Midori. I'm sure you will find something here.

I had no idea. I am so great full for people like that. Excellent leadership

Victoria S (S-886) in the fabric department was absolutely amazing. Not only did she calm my reservations about the project, but she helped me select the fabric of choice. She was extremely detailed on how to measure for the appropriate amount of fabric despite not having seen the chairs. Further, she also guiding me on purchasing the correct quantity and beyond to minimize time. Not only did I finish the project, but it came out flawlessly due to Victoria's gracious assistance and guidance. Thank you, Victoria, for everything. I owe you a picture of the finished project as promise. I appreciate you! Preston P

What a creative way to spend the afternoon!…read more I was part of a Turkish mosaic lamp class hosted at Art Masterclass. First off - it's definitely harder to make them than it seems. lol If you have option paralysis or get overwhelmed easily, prepare yourself! Look at alllllll the colors in my photos available to use and maybe plan ahead. They provide templates of different floral, geometric, and banded designs that you can use, but you can go off-script if your noggin comes up with an idea! They give you a decent amount of time to create a design, glue said design in place, and then fill the rest of your lamp's empty space in with the tiny glass beads. There are a few final steps you can't complete while in "class" but that's due to the glue needing time to sit. You're not left in the dark however, as they show you a how-to video which is included in your take-home kit via a QR code. =) I noticed this place has other classes that seem like fun (terrarium and some sort of small dish painting?). I may need to return. Notes: - You interact with glue so you'll likely get messy. - There's a restroom to wash your hands, or if nature calls. - In the small bead fill-in time frame, everyone drops them. It's human. It became part of the experience. Aim for your tray!

Workers were kind and explained everything. Very quick to refill any paints. Did wish there were a little more organized for the extras but I figured it was just people were actively using the items. We had about an hour to paint since they closed at 7 and we definitely felt like we were rushing. I'd recommend having at least 1.5hrs to paint depending on how intricate you want to go. Already planning our return to try new techniques and designs!

We absolutely love Mud Hen Clay and Art Studio! This adorable studio is truly a hidden gem. My…read more11-year-old has been taking classes here for the past year, and I've loved watching her confidence grow along the way. Working with clay requires patience, creativity, and real time problem solving, which has been such a wonderful experience for her. I especially love that pottery teaches her to embrace the process rather than expect instant gratification. There's no rushing to a finished product...you have to work through each step, learn from mistakes, and sometimes figure out how to solve a problem when things don't go as planned. It has been so rewarding to watch her challenge herself, develop new skills, and become more confident in her ability to work through frustration and find solutions. These are skills that extend far beyond the studio, and I'm so grateful she has a place where she can develop them while doing something she genuinely enjoys. The staff are also amazing and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell how much they care about the kids and their creative growth. We highly recommend Mud Hen Clay and Art Studio! It's a wonderful place for kids to create, learn, challenge themselves, and grow.
