Went there to pick up my pottery. I was talking to my sister in Spanish and the employee looks at my sister and says "I expected you to speak Spanish but not her." And looks at me. I didn't know I had to have a darker skin tone to speak Spanish.. read more

We have been here a dozen times and have always enjoyed our time. There is a large selection of items to paint and I like that if I dont finish it, I can bring it back another time to do so. They offer coffee- which was awesome! And you can always find the cutest cat lazying around. Owner is always nice. I really appreciate that when we forgot about our items after the first call he was kind enough to call and remind us again! read more

I, as a single woman, had an awful experience at this establishment. I came in on a busy Sunday and sat at the only empty table nearest to the owner. I did my best to be polite and friendly which turned into him ranting about political views, talking ill of not only his employees but also paying customers (... yikes) until I put in earbuds. At this point he then proceeded to throw a paper airplane at me that struck me in the face, centimeters below my eye. ........ He said "oops sorry I was aiming for your ankle haha" and "well now I feel stupid." ??? I moved to the farthest table at the front of the shop at which point he started making rounds to each table, lingering between mine and another customers for a noticeably long time. Offering drinks to all but me (THANK GOD). Later he made an announcement to the room that he was about to throw a paper airplane, "everyone watch out." Which I can only assume was a poor attempt at pretending his previous behavior wasn't harassment. The owner of the shop has a shop cat that probably shouldn't be there. Don't get me wrong, I am all for shop animals as long as the animal AND the owner are able to behave. That being said the owner is NOT well behaved in regard to this cat. He made a huge scene about a customer who brought in her dog to pick up her finished work. She had family take the dog outside and was respectful throughout the interaction but the owner spouted off for at least 20 minutes after this, about how awful dogs are, how they shouldn't exist, how people can't read (sign posted on his door indicating no dogs) and pettily posted bigger signage on the door (later removed after he was done making a show of it). The cat got paint on its fur while getting on to an occupied table. The owner got in a small child's face, pretending to speak to the cat, ranting to the boy about how the cat shouldn't be in the paint and so on. If you are unable to maintain your composure when non violent / minorly frustrating occurrence happens with your shop animal, it needs to stay away from your clientele. It was my understanding after it being explained to me by the owner, customers leave contact information for the establishment to reach out to customers once their pieces are ready to be picked up. After 30 days "unclaimed" work is sold to the public, after 3 weeks of no contact from staff, and difficulty reaching an employee by phone, I was told that everything in the shop had been fired and is ready for pick up. I'm not sure what happened to their policy about contacting customers when their work is finished but that seems to no longer be the case. I felt unsafe coming back to this establishment alone and brought a man with me subsequent times thereafter to finish my piece. I definitely will not be coming back and have been telling community members about this outrageous experience. Please do not support this business, this guy is a creep and aggressive!!! read more

Had a very poor experience here. Went in with my boyfriend and painted a plate that was on sale because it was warped. I painted it blue, with the well known phrase, "Be Gay, Do Crimes" on it as I am queer and I thought it would be a cute funny thing to have at home. Everything seemed normal when I left, but I got a text a week or two later saying there was a problem with my project and I needed to call them. At first I thought something had gone wrong because the plate was warped, but when I called back the man who answered told me that he wouldn't fire my project because it was promoting criminal activity. I immediately started to panic, I hadn't thought about the very likely possibility that the phrase could be misconceived. I quickly told him that it was a joke (In no way promoting crime activity) and he said he looked it up, he knew what it meant and he wasn't going to fire the project unless I repainted it. I told him that I didn't want to repaint it and he could throw it away, as I was feeling flustered and couldn't see myself going back. The entire conversation the man was unnecessarily angry and wasn't trying to understand. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Pottery Canvas & Stone - Paint-Your-Own Pottery Near Me - Grants Pass, Oregon

I refuse to support a business whose owner holds such hatred and bigotry in their heart. To privately have these feelings is bad enough, but to openly express them to customers trying to patronize their business? It's absolutely unacceptable. Thanks for showing your true colors before we gave you any more of our money, we will not be back. edit: I'd also like to add, many ceramic glazes contain toxic chemicals and metals to achieve the desired colors in the kiln. These folks are letting their cat climb all over the tables, who knows what toxic substances this poor animal has ingested. Incredibly irresponsible. As an animal lover, this was truly the nail in the coffin for me. read more

First of all, we had fun at the time and they were friendly. When I called 2 weeks after to see if our items were ready, I was told it would be 3 weeks. We were told they would text. 6 weeks later I called and was told they were ready and that they had texted. Amazing, we never got the texts. We were a party of 4, and, they told us, unfortunately two of the items had been broken. They offered us a credit or a refund. We took the refund. It's a nice idea and it could be fun, but the follow up could use some work. Probably won't do it again at that establishment. read more

The kids always have a blast here and their projects have all turned out great. We've received everything in a timely manner as well

So disappointed! I have been to this studio a few times. Everything was great the owner and staff were always very nice and friendly. The other day however, I went to pick up an order and it was the day of the boatnik parade. I believe the owners name is David, he started talking about a trans woman,who was passing out pride flags, in the most offensive way. Dropping slurs so causally. It was disgusting. This is not a safe space! Stay clear!! read more

Love this place! Have been here numerous times over the years and all the staff and the environment has been great. Love the kitty they have there too, she's so cute! Their prices are also great. read more

The owner is very unprofessional and has no clue on how to run a functioning business. My work has been sitting on the glaze shelf waiting to go in the kiln for over a week and his employee had told me it would be done a week ago. I have been waiting for my piece for 4 weeks and I was told it is not his job to "feel bad for me" because my work was not done when it said it would be. The idea of the business is amazing but the ownership is atrocious. read more

We went in as a group of 4 on Halloween, we were told our items would be ready in 2-4 weeks. With the paper work filled out we were told we would receive a call or text message alert. When November 30th rolled around I called to check on our things. I was told they were a little behind because of an event they had & again, we would receive a text message when it was time to pick up. I called again last week of December & was asked to describe my items because they couldn't find my paper.. again, they weren't ready. A friend that was in the group stopped by 2 weeks after that & was told to wait for the text. On Jan 23rd, 12 weeks later we went in & were told the paper says our things were done on Nov 19th & their texting app must be down... at no point during the 4+ times we checked in were we told 'they were ready' we were turned away several times. Will not be returning. read more
