Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience with this class. I am only leaving a review…read morebecause, for over a month, I have tried to resolve these concerns directly by emailing the shop and owner, calling, and even visiting in person, but I have consistently been dismissed without any resolution. I had been looking forward to attending this class for over a year and chose to celebrate my birthday here with friends and family. We were all very excited, which made the experience even more disappointing. The class started an hour later than scheduled, despite the website stating that participants cannot join if they are more than five minutes late. There was little to no explanation for the delay. Once the class began, it felt rushed, likely due to the late start. When I asked for help, staff often stepped in and fixed things themselves rather than showing me how to do it, which defeated the purpose of creating my own pottery. I also asked questions about air bubbles in the clay and the firing process but was not acknowledged. This was especially concerning, as I later discovered that my bowl cracked during firing--something I was specifically worried about. Additionally, the glazing and firing processes were not explained at all. When we moved on to painting, we were left to figure things out on our own without guidance. The class is advertised as making a bowl, but the final product was much closer to a small trinket dish, which was another letdown. On top of everything else, they lost my pottery when I called to check up on it and it had to be found. Given that we spent several hundred dollars, I expected a much higher level of instruction, organization, and communication. The overall experience, combined with the complete lack of response to my attempts to address these concerns, has left me deeply disappointed and regretful that I chose this studio.

We booked a private holiday event for the designers in our office at this shop. My assistant spoke…read morewith the owner and made all the arrangements. I was in the room and heard the entire conversation, the owner was curt and unfriendly. A few days prior to our event, the owner call our office and asked for my assistant and was told she was in a meeting and needed to call her back. The owner said "NO, I need to talk to her now" So we interrupted the meeting and confirmed our event with the owner. It was no emergency, the owner just wanted to reconfirm. 8 of us showed up, on a Tuesday at 1pm, we had arranged for the event to happen on a day the shop was closed, so it was a closed event and we rented the shop for a period of time. The employee acted nervous and had to keep calling the owner and reporting. When we made our reservation, we asked if we could bring refreshments and was told yes. We brought enough wine and beer for everyone to have one small glass of wine OR one bottle of beer during the event. We also brought snacks. The employee felt she should call the owner and report this. The owner asked for my assistant to get on the phone and told her to "get it out now". My assistant explained we had asked and the owner said " I don't remember you asking". I was in the room when my assistant asked, when she made the initial booking. So we proceeded to pour it all down the drain in the sink. I would never recommend this place for a group event for adults or kids. The owner is just not a friendly person. We were a group of designers that needed no help, should have brought our own paintbrushes instead of using the horrible ones they had on hand, we were just wanting to have a fun holiday outing. We did not deserve to be treated so rudely - especially my assistant, who was very professional with the owner. I was a shop owner for many years and understand how difficult it is to manage a small business, deal with the public, and stay in business. This lady needs to learn that kindness goes a long way.. and most people are very forgiving if treated with kindness and respect.

We…read morereturned the following week to spend a little bit of time custom painting pieces that we selected for Christmas gifts. The gnome I selected was only $12. I bought cookies from the cafe, and my girlfriend enjoyed a coffee and muffin. We spent a relaxing hour at the table, taking our time to relax and talk. Another customer joined us and we had a really nice conversation about the holidays. Our pieces were left with the shop to be fired in the kiln; a few days later, we were called to pick up our pieces. My gnome turned out greater than expected; so good that I will not be placing it on the porch with our other small plants and gnomes. My girlfriend's pieces are going to make wonderful Christmas gifts. I wish I could custom make some gingerbread men and snowmen ornaments for our relatives that lost every in the recent floods. We will be returning soon to take pottery wheel classes, and to make custom dishes. Oh,,, while painting our pieces, I noticed that the brush holder cups, the cookie plate, and several other items in the shop were handmade. This is a great way to show the practicality of making things, and the creative ideas put to use. I felt very welcomed in this place of business, and look forward to returning many times in the future. Thanks Juliette (the owner) for answering all of my questions, and making me and my girlfriend feel comfortable and appreciated.

Cool place to bring out your inner artist and craftsperson…read more Prices are reasonable and it is a good experience. Being in Waterford Lakes Town Center, it is convenient for the area and offers something different to do.

We were feeling creative and the weather was inclement, so we decided to give "All Fired Up" a try…read more The place is beautifully set up and roomy, with plenty of tables of different sizes. We were welcomed and taken to our table and then looked around to select a piece to paint. Once we did, a very nice young lady came and took us through the process: the price of the piece includes unlimited painting and "baking" it (can't recall what that's called); they show you basic techniques and how colors come out so you can quickly assess what you want and how to bring it to life. They provided aprons, different paint tools, any color your heart desires and even have snacks and beverages for purchase. Once the pieces are ready you can pick them up 4 days later and take them home. Overall it was a really cool and fun experience. I think we will be back!

Just a heads up, the wait to get your piece back can be long since the owner glazes everything herself. The only downside is it can get noisy if there's a birthday party in the back, so maybe bring headphones or visit on a weekday.

For ceramic painting you only pay the price of your piece and can spend as much time as you need, including coming back as many days as you like before your piece is fired. A little less polished than some "paint-your-own" spots, but with its own special charm. They have a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for families or anyone who struggles with feeling rushed when arts and crafting!

We had extra clay left over and it is another $5 for extra Pieces over the original. It was such a relaxing time.
