    There was a great selection, and everyone was super helpful. It was our first time and we had a blast.

    Can I just buy items not stay and paint?

    You can! We are offering to-go pottery where you can bring the paints home and then return to be fired. Or, if you have your own paints, you can just buy the pieces and take them home. There is a discount off the cost of the piece if you don't…

    This location is more 'open' than the bay city location in the sense that all of the tables are in…read morethe same area and there are no room dividers. The selection is a little smaller than the bay city location, but you will still be overwhelmed with options when you go in. The girls were helpful as usual. I also didn't know that they stay open late a few days a week which I thought was kind of cool. When you get there, you don't need to 'check in' with the desk. Find a piece that you like and start to scope out what colors you want to paint said item. Pro tip: the color example tiles are Velcro backed so you can move them around to compare with other tiles. They will also have you stick your name and date on the bottom of the piece. The workers will get you setup with 4 or 5 colors to start. They also have tape, smaller brushes and sponges up at the counter. Once you pick a spot, they come to you with your paint colors. You can refill on your own or have them help you. Your choice. If you run out of time, you can bring your project home with you and visit again another day. Once done, they will have you pay and get your contact info. It takes about a week to get them fired but they call when they are ready.

    I made a few pieces at their place in Midland a few years back and had a great time!! I made a cup…read moreand saucer as well as a frog bank with huge red lips!! It became my best friend's daughter's graduation gift from high school she used it for kicking around money on the weekends. I have to say getting my pieces was made difficult as I was told a time and day and when I came to the store it was closed and my pieces weren't even in yet. Hopefully that changes in their new place. Would like to try them again sometime with my soon to be daughter in law and her mom!! Would even bring out of towners with me too!!

    I've been here multiple times and have usually had an enjoyable experience, though accessibility…read morehas always limited my options. (High tables, cramped seating, low movement space) My partner and I stopped in as walk-ins on Saturday around 2pm, fully understanding it would be busy and that there could be a wait. When we entered, there was no signage and no employees directing guests. Like others who walked in, we selected our pottery and sat at an open table. The table was completely clear -- no signage, no tiles, nothing indicating it was reserved. At no point were we informed that the table was reserved or that there was a waitlist. After choosing our colors, we asked an employee to quickly review the instructions. During that interaction, another employee approached and stated the table was reserved. I asked if we needed to move and was told, "No, it's fine, we'll figure it out," and the instructions continued. A few minutes later, after staff were visibly discussing the situation and staring at us, we were told we would need to move because the table was reserved and there was a waitlist. An alternative was offered, but it was not accessible for us, so we declined and left. We were later told that walk-ins are required to check in at the "front desk," which is actually located at the back of the store. This is not stated on the website, and there is no signage in the store explaining this process. We were also told reserved tables are typically marked with tiles -- however, the table we sat at was completely empty and unmarked. By their own stated policy, the process was not followed in this situation. The handling of the situation was disappointing, poorly communicated, and made for an unnecessarily uncomfortable experience

    I went here for the first time recently with a group of friends and was pleasantly surprised with…read morehow much fun I had! I do not consider myself an artistic person at all so I was not expecting my piece to turn out good but I actually ended up loving it! We had a group of 5 for a "girls night" activity and made a reservation online ahead of time. I would definitely recommend to do it this way if you have a bigger group as their walk in area was super busy! We went at 630 on a Thursday around the holidays. They have multiple different things you can do here but my group was doing the ceramic painting. You get to choose which piece to paint from their selection in the front. Everything is labeled with prices which is great because you can choose to spend as much or as little as you want. I felt like everything was very fairly priced. My balloon dog was around $25 meanwhile they had large serving plates/bowls that some of my friends did that were closer to $50. Once you all pick your pieces and sit down at the table, an employee comes by to explain the process and answer any questions. She was thorough in her explanation and it was much appreciated! You can pick as many paint colors as you want and then get to work. It was a super chill activity and we hung out there for around an hour and a half. Once we were all done, you head up with your piece to the counter to pay and give them your information! Since it was busy around the holidays they told us it would be about 1.5-2 weeks till our pieces would be ready for pickup but mine was ready in exactly 1 week! I received a text when it was ready. I would love to do this again sometime :)
