My daughter took me here for my birthday. What a fun activity. They have shelves and shelves of options for you to paint and make your own. They also have every color you would need as well as a large variety of tools to use to complete your craft projects. Open Pinterest and find your inspiration. The shop is in Kirkwood and has street parking. You can also have parties here. Here's a great date night spot if you are looking to unleash your creative side. read more

Had a fantastic girls night at Pottery Hollow! The staff were very helpful with our experience of walking through the process, paint colors, and painting tools. There's lots of tables for different groups and a large variety of colors/shades to really customize your work. The process was pretty simple. You can choose from their large selection of premade clay structure, all of which have clear and varying price points, making this an activity that can fit within a lot of budgets. Once your colors are selected, you have free rein to decorate how you want! I chose this cute chicken planter for my kitchen and absolutely loved how it turned out. After your painting and checkout, you will get a call once your work has been fired and completed. It's an incredibly easy process with great staff. We'll be back! read more

I had a great time coming here for an afternoon with my friend. They have open family style seating so you're seated at long tables with other groups, but you still have space for you and your party to enjoy your painting. They have all of the options you could think of to paint from small plates to mugs and salsa dishes. That picking an item can be a bit overwhelming, but that makes it even more fun! Plenty of colors to choose from as well. They got my finished item back within a week and pick up was fast and easy. I'll definitely be back! read more

Pottery Hollow - Vase painting! - Art Schools Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

We love this place! We are always greeted nicely. You got in pick a table, pick your pottery pieces then pick paint color and brushes then go to town. After you are finished you bring them to the register to check out. They fire the pieces in the kiln. It takes about a week to get the pieces back. We prefer to go during the week when the kids are off school so it not too busy. It can get a little wild and loud on the weekends. read more

Fine to paint. Price seems fair. Pottery shivered in kiln- went to pick up and employees were rude about what happened. Understand accident happen but better customer service would have made this an easy pickup! I've never heard of shivering (which was astonishing to the worker ??? ) and was not warned this could even be a possibility of occurrence in the kiln. Definitely not returning to this location if any. Also was not able to take pottery home because of shivering, though was told it could happen to pottery at home at anytime. Would definitely not say it's food safe as they explain it to be! read more

Fun place for a family activity or a relaxing time with friends! My sister in law invited me here to paint a pottery or two for my birthday and we had a great time! I found a corgi and a hedgehog to paint. My corgi is obsessed with hedgehogs and have her own impressive collection of soft hedgies so I figured it was the perfect combination. The unpainted pieces are reasonably priced. We came 2 hours before they closed so unfortunately we had to rush toward the end. But I will surely return and will plan better next visit. We left our pieces there for the final step which is the oven step. They said they'll call within 7 days but they wrapped up our pieces by 5. Pick up was easy and the store associate made sure the pieces were individually wrapped so they do not touch during transport and cause accidental damage to the pieces. Overall, a great experience and a relaxing activity especially on days when you wouldn't want to be outside anyway (a.k.a cold winter days or very hot summers). I will be back! read more

I love this place! They have so many options of different ceramics to paint! The selection of colored glazes they have is substantial and they have a big selection of different brushes, tools, and squeeze bottles to achieve different effects and do different designs. The staff I interacted with were all very helpful and friendly, they explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. Its so easy to just pick a piece, pick your colors and glaze away. The bowl is chose was $18 + a $1 supply fee because it was Monday. Its also so so cool that if you arent able to finish, they let you come back for free to finish glazing! When you're done, they tell you to allow 7-10 days for firing but my bowl was done and back to me in less then 5 days. They also give you a free cup when you pick up your piece! I would love to be back! Love love love this place and the concept read more

Just to let you know, they only change the hours on the little piece of paper in the store window, not online. They are closing early and when you come during business hours, they send you away without helping you! Currently 7:30 read more

Revisited with a friend recently for the second time on another busy Saturday. My first experience a couple years ago was a lot of fun and the process was super easy. We got there around 11:30am, got right in to one of the last few available tables. They explained how everything worked, where to pick colors, brushes and other supplies then set us free to work. Shortly after we chose our pieces I noticed they are started a waitlist for those arriving and it stayed packed from then on. We spent a few hours painting multiple pieces all while enjoying the music they played. Left our finished work to be fired and got the call within 5 days or less that they were ready for pick up. Pick up process was just as painless. Highly recommend visiting Pottery Hollow! read more

My first experience painting pottery at Pottery Hollow was amazing! It's in such a great location in downtown Kirkwood. The prices seem fair to me for the wide range of paint colors, pottery options, and supplies available. It was about $55 for two medium sized pieces. Note that it does get extremely busy on the weekends. You're better off going in earlier rather than later to get a table without waiting long. Be aware that it'll probably take longer than anticipated (took us about 3 hours) because you have to do 3 coats of paint so the colors are even. Overall, it's such a fun spot for a date, girls day, or even bringing the family. I can't wait to see and take home our final glazed pieces! read more

Large selection of pottery! We went on a Monday and only paid the $1 service fee (in addition to the pottery piece). I definitely got my moneys worth with the amount of time we spent painting! read more

I had a total bash here with my pals! There is so much to choose from and painting is super fun! The decor is amazing and it screams "POTTERY" in a fantastic way;a fun way to decorate a spot! The price is right in my opinion and the sessions were long enough. Worker service was very refine and they were so kind! I had a great time with my friends and I expect to come here again some time. read more

I really wish I could give a better review. The staff was super friendly, the pieces of pottery to choose from were super cute, and there was ample room inside the business. The big reason I am giving it a low review is because of the atmosphere inside the store. My fiancé and I thought this was going to be a nice fun and relaxing experience, but truthfully it was just overrun with children. Now usually I wouldn't let this one bad instance leave such an impact on my review, but with 10 minutes of the children's birthday party ending, another one began. Now I do want to say that if you remove al the children from this, I would give Pottery Hollow a 5 star review, but it just seemed like a place for children. I would love to try out pottery hollow some other time when there are not a lot of children there. Perhaps I just went on a bad day, but for now my rating stands. My heart goes out to the wonderful staff for having to deal with such monsters. read more

Pottery Hollow - My pottery painting - Art Schools Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This place was an excellent choice for an activity on a cold icy MLK day! My daughters and I wanted something to do other than the mall or a movie. We were able to get in just fine. Picked out a few pieces and sat and painted for about 2 hours! Mondays the paint fee is only $1! Great deal! We were notified our pieces were ready after only a week and a half. Love this place! read more

Relaxing. I enjoyed painting with my wife. Little pricy It is great activity for people of all ages read more

I came here with my daughter during their Mommy and Me night which is every Monday for a $1 studio fee. You still pay for the piece that you're painting which ranges from $4 up to $40 depending on the size of the pottery. We picked out 2 little pottery owls and then the staff kindly walked us through the different steps--grabbing a paper plate, brushes, and choosing different colors of paint (unlimited) from the center display. It was fun and relaxing to sit in the quiet studio which has lots of big tables to paint at. Afterwards, you pay at the counter and they called us 1 week later to pick it up after it was fired in the kiln. They do offer curbside pickup which was convenient for picking up our finished pieces! read more

Expensive!! My kids loved our experience here, picking out a piece to paint and choosing our supplies. We were able to spend close to 2 hours painting. The cost, however, makes this something we won't be able to do again; with a coupon that took off studio fee for both of my kids, we still spent $50 with tax for two pieces. read more

The employees were very helpful and kind in explaining how the process works, the prices for the pieces were reasonable, the environment was fun and casual, and we had a great time celebrating my friends birthday there. read more

The employee was very friendly and explained the entire process. Periodically, while we were painting, she would ask how we were doing. My son and I went on a Monday, which happened to be $1.00 paint fee day, normally $8 each for adults. The prices are clearly marked and there is a great selection of pottery pieces to pick from. We definitely would go back! read more

I like painting--So wanting to do something a little more creative, I googled painting options in the area and landed on Pottery Hollow. So it's one of the places where you select your item to paint, they offer a decent selection--mugs, wine glasses, piggy banks, animals, plates, small vases, dog bowls& more. So something for grown ups, kids, and even the four legged kids. As a an adult flying solo, I felt fully welcome here. I spent about two hours here painting some gifts, and experienced great customer service from the manager, Travis. He checked on me to see how it was going, and offered me some help when it was clear I was struggling with some transfer paper. Excellent customer service! So, after choosing your items you grab your paints, and some brushes. $8 supply fee/ head. So you're not painting with squirrel hair or anything, but the brushes do the job. I had fun. I'd go back, so I recommend it completely. My items were ready about 5 days after I painted, so within the week I was told to expect, great experience there as well. Mostly 2 hr parking in the area. read more

My kids and I love this place! We've been coming for a couple years now. They have to long walls of choices. Your typical stuff, plates, bowls, mugs, figurines, cups, etc. Of all shapes and sizes. And costs of course range greatly, from $6-$50, with most things in the $10-$20 range. Their painting fee is $8 a person, but on Mondays it's $1, and they always have coupons and deals on their website. There's never a reason for you to pay full price for everything. The room is really big and airy and not closed in, which I greatly appreciate. Painted Zebra is so tiny I feel like I'm suffocating. Not so here. The manager Travis is the nicest guy. Really helpful with everything and very pleasant affect. The only downside: the chocolate store right next door that my kids always sucker me into stopping by ;) My kids and I only do this kind of thing twice a year, because it is kinda pricey, but we'd never go anywhere else when we do. read more

A truly wonderful place for both kids and adults. This place is a great way to show some creativity with no mess. I have been to Pottery Hallow multiply times and they never disappoint! They have a very wide selection of pre-made pottery pieces and everyone can find something they love. Pottery Hallow makes the pottery process super easy while also being incredibly fun! The staff is the best part about the place. Everyone is so kind and helpful. They always make me feel welcome and answer any questions I have. Everyone should definitely go check this fun and amazing place out. Overall I love Pottery Hallow! read more

Huge, huge huge selection of ceramics to choose from. Everyone was super helpful inside the place. I brought my babies here so that we could paint some ceramics. They got princesses (go figure) to paint and I painted a picture frame. Large variety of paints to choose from, and they will hold your items for you for a long time; I was telling the employee that we would be out of town by the time our ceramics would be nice and glazed & ready for pickup and she told me that it was no problem at all, they'd hold on to it as long as I needed them to. I kinda wanna come back and paint me a margarita glass!! read more

I have been here a few times and even had my sons birthday party here. I love the decor and the staff is always friendly and helpful. But other than that, I'm a bit disappointed. The last time we went our bowls chipped and cracked within a week of having them, and today when we went I think they raised their prices and I even had 2 Groupons and still ended up paying $50 for 3 small pieces (without Groupon I would have paid $63 total). I do love the activity and the place but it's a bit steep in price. They charge $8 for adults and $5 for kids for supplies plus the cost of the item you pick. Between the 3 of us we maybe used $3-5 worth of paint/paper towels, certainly not $18. I love Baked Goods when they were in business as they only charged by the piece which makes more sense since you'd use more paint on a bigger piece than on the tiny ones we had. I wish Pottery Hollow would change the way they charge and just add a few more dollars to each piece to cover supplies rather than separately because it sure makes for an expensive activity with a couple kids. read more

Took my daughter and my granddaughter to do a fun project. We enjoyed ourselves, but the girl working was rude towards us. She gave us the mask mandate rundown, and even though I had been vaccinated, and my 2 year old granddaughter would not wear a mask, my pregnant daughter did. Because she wasn't vaccinated. I felt she treated the other costumers better than us and it was quite disappointing. We dropped about $100 or more here that day, so I feel you all could have treated us a bit nicer. read more

I had too much fun here. I love to do anything different than a typical movie and dinner night, even though I love that too. This was the perfect date night idea and something new and different. The staff was friendly and you can find a great groupon that helps cut down the cost. We painted for two hours and were still rushing at the end so I would say give yourself probably three hours. They have different deals every night and some nights you can bring your own food and wine. I would just call ahead and ask which nights. It was very relaxing and enjoyed myself and my fiancé did also. read more

We had my 4 y/o grand daughters birthday party here. I could not have been more pleased. It was easy and everyone including the adults had fun. They even had something my 20 month old grandson could do. Chloe our hostess for the day was wonderful. Anything we needed she was on it. The birthday cookie was delicious and they let us bring a cake as well. There is a separate sitting area for parties so we didn't feel like we were bothering anyone. I highly recommend having a party here. Couldn't have been easier or more affordable. read more

Nice place for some creative expression. Good way to enjoy some time doing something different.

Went with a friend for the first time. We were greeted by Kathleen who was so very nice. She explained the process and found us a table. There were a lot of families enjoying painting pottery together, which was nice to see. I thought the prices were reasonable and if you check their website, you can see if there are any coupons. We were able to get 1/2 price supply fees (usually $8). read more

My boyfriend and I came here for his birthday recently and had a lovely time. I had been talking about how much I enjoyed my pottery painting birthday party as a kid, but he had never gotten the same opportunity, so when I found a Groupon for this place, I knew I had to take him. Prices might be a little high to make this a frequent activity or bring a lot of small children, but it makes for a nice special occasion type of place. We went on a Friday night, and the place was busy, but it wasn't too crazy for us to snag a table. The gal working was very helpful - she walked us through the process, showing us how the glazes looked different before and after firing, and she checked in on us once to make sure everything was going well. The turnaround time to pick up our fired pieces was less than the one week we were quoted. My only regret is that I didn't allot more than 90 minutes for us to be there, we could have spent the whole evening perfecting our pieces if I hadn't made dinner reservations so close. Ladies night on Friday is a $5 supply fee, and they let us know that on Fridays you can bring in your own food and drink. We will be coming back with friends (and wine) very soon! read more

"That was easy!" Not a phrase you often hear after throwing a 5 year old b-day party with 11 pre-k kids, but that's exactly what my wife said on the way home. I can't express enough how wonderful the staff was for our daughter's birthday today. I highly recommend them, and we'll be back again just to paint as a family. read more

Pottery Hollow is a fine place to take the kids to get your paint on. The prices seemed a little steep---there are specials each day, EXCEPT WEDNESDAY THE DAY WE WENT!. So, plan ahead if you want to save some dough. My friend and I were celebrating Happy Ornament Day, our annual get together when we paint Xmas ornaments for our kids. We were the only people in the joint, so it was a bit annoying that we were paying full price for everything. But, it's a once a year deal for us, so no big whip. The place is very spacious, so if you have a big group, you should have plenty of room to work. read more

Pottery Hollow was a great, fun experience for the girls day we had planned. There weren't many workers that Sunday so not everyone in our group got the paint instruction like the others. They have many pieces to pick from, which is great compared to some of the other pottery places, but if you want specialty paint that will cost extra for some reason. The sitting fees are pretty low and depending on when you go, they have specialty nights that it could be waived, could include various things. They tell you it'll be ready for pick up in a week and that they'll call you. Supposedly they called me, I never saw an unknown number come up nor did I ever get a voicemail. I finally contacted them after 2 weeks and the worker was very blunt about my inquiry and didn't budge from the fact that she was certain they called. I went to pick up my piece, along with two others that painted with me, and they couldn't find my finished piece. I had to dig while the worker went to do something else to find my own on their shelves. That was a bummer, not being aided in my search. I would definitely go to PH again, I love their selection, I just hope that they can iron out a few kinks. read more
