This little shop is located in the 'uptown' area of Oxford, where all the other shops and restaurants are. First you walk into the small shop and see the walls lined with pottery. There are pieces mixed in that are already pre-made, these are nice because they give you some ideas and show you what the finished product looks like. There are a variety of different pottery pieces to choose from. Some of the finished items didn't have a corresponding pottery item to paint on. This may have been because it was family weekend and they were especially busy, regardless I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. Tables are set up, and if you make a reservation, they will have table laid for your name written on the paper covering it. There are tips on the tables if you are new to this. But other than that..it's just paint away at your own discretion. It's a fun experience if you are with a good group of people. I could see how it would also be a calming and even therapeutic experience if you go on your own. They do let you bring your own drinks and provide cups to drink out of. We brought a bottle of wine. Also keep in mind that it takes 7 days for your piece to be ready, so if you don't live in the area you will want someone that can pick it up for you. They do offer shipping though.

Such a great cozy place to hang with the gals!…read more It's a $7 studio fee, and if you don't finish, you can come back the next day. Just pay the fee again! My bowl was ~$18 + the $7 studio fee. She mentioned it was not dishwasher safe. I cannot recall if she said if it was microwave safe or not... probably not. Great cereal bowl though!

Owner Chelsea is AMAZING! My beautiful frame broken we made it on my son's birthday it was perfect…read morewe got the sad news a week later. I told the owner that this frame meant a lot to me. There was so much sentimental value because of the time it was made the people who came out make it. It was definitely one big family effort and it was a gorgeous frame and Chelsea went in on her own time and managed to fix it and make it. It's almost perfect. I was so touched that she spent all of her free time and energy trying to fix this frame to make it look good for me to have. The last thing I wanted was for to get thrown away and making a new one just didn't seem like it was possible I would recommend cozy melts to anybody who's looking for some good family time and great memories that you'll be able to save forever thank you Chelsea for fixing that beautiful frame of mine and thank you for caring. You are awesome and your staff is wonderful. I have nothing negative to say about you guys. You guys are wonderful.

I slept on my experience before writing this review. Yesterday, my 10 year old had their birthday…read moreparty here at Richmond's Paint The Towne. It was a first time experience for myself and several others in attendance. There were 20 people in our party. The party was reserved and paid for over a month in advance for 1:00pm. I arrived at 12:35pm for Maria, the owner, to tell me they weren't expecting us. Shocked, I gave other names that might have been written down since a couple of us had called multiple times with questions for said party beforehand. (Myself, called with questions after paying reservation fee which was...again...over a month before) She told me that the staff had tried contacting us previously to confirm the party and that they'd received no response?? I said "I'm confused, wasn't me paying the reservation fee a confirmation?" I also double checked my call and text log as did the other person who had left a number prior to me paying. She never really cleared that up for me. She wasn't friendly at all. Walked us back to the area I assume was supposed to be for us and in a frustrated manner told me she could work it out. During this time, I stood there wondering what'd happen next as she walked away. After 10 minutes waiting for other people to arrive, she approached me with a clipboard and still clearly frustrated, she asked me the name of the "guest of honor" and how many people would be participating. I pulled up my call log and bank receipt to show her...she looked and said ok it's fine. I began to apologize and explain this was my first time and that after I paid, not once, did anyone I'd spoken with mention another confirmation before the date of party. She cut me off mid sentence and said very brashly "I said it's fine." This is the owner of this place. She was the one to explain to the kids what to do and after that maybe came around 2 more times briefly. (We didn't need anyone to babysit us as the process was simple and there were plenty of adults in our party to assist the kids...so that wasn't an issue) However, nobody explained to me the process of how to or when to pick up our painted pieces. We were there for exactly 2 hours. Total spent from everyone (including 75 dollar reservation fee) was 250.00+. Other details aside, I felt like we were a burden. The kids did enjoy themselves and had a good time so the experience was fun overall. Maria has a wide variety of things to choose from to paint and the space is well decorated, clean and very roomy. The prices aren't horrendous either...In my opinion, it's nice to have so many options that are affordable. Her attitude on the other hand, was very poor. I have never been treated that way by someone I was doing business with. I may return, may not. Somewhat depends on the pick up process for our pieces. I do know I will never book a private event there again.

This place is great! The staff was amazing and very helpful! I will be returning for sure!read more

A paint/glaze your own pottery studio with zero studio fees?! Count me in!…read more Fees are included in the listed price. However, I've been to a handful of pottery studios and the prices at Cactus Rose are still significantly less than a traditional studio fee. Options are: paint and take home same day or glaze and pick up in a week or two. Pottery Wheel classes are available intimately for $45/person which includes four bowls, glazed and fired in the kiln. Huge shop full of summer camps for the kiddos, pottery retail, fun t shirts and tumblers for purchase and events held often!

My daughter and I frequently come here to paint and absolutely love it. We have gone to several…read moreplaces to paint ceramic pieces and by far this place beats out the rest especially in price. They don't charge a studio fee which is amazing. They have a good selection of pieces to paint. The hardest part is picking which piece you would like to paint. They also have several other things to make here other than just painting a ceramic pieces. We haven't done anything else yet but we are planning on it in the future. This is a great place to take your kids and enjoy an afternoon with them. The owner is very friendly and personable.

The lady didn't seem very friendly. Every time we've ever come in we've picked a table. Well not today as I was sitting my mom down the lady told us she had just sat 2 people there. So she told us to move. She wasn't friendly and just not a friendly environment today. My daughter who never says anything asked if we could leave. Very disappointed in our experience. Now looking for a new place to start going to.

Based on our…read moreexperience, we will be back (a lot!) especially on those gloomy, rainy days that Cincinnati provides. My kiddo loved it and so did mom! We decided to pop in and check this place out on a Saturday morning, unknowing what we were getting ourselves into. We just needed to get out of the house. On the left side of the shop is a wall FULL of unfinished ceramics starting at $7 and going up. You choose what you'd like to paint (we went with a few different items) and then you get started! The kid wall is full of little animal statues like penguins, peacocks, elephants, bears. For the adults there's mug, ornaments, plates. You can add on smaller pieces for $1 or decorate a cute ceramic letter. There's so many different selections that you could come back 10 times and still find something new to paint. They have everything you need as far as paints, brushes, smocks, sponges, stamps. Go at your own pace, use whatever design your heart desires and they glaze and fire it for you. Keep in mind, this process takes one week so you can't take it home right away. Plan for one week if you're giving as a gift. As for pricing, you purchase your item for whatever is written on it and then for kiddos it's $5 flat fee, adults is $7 flat fee on top of your piece. My kiddo painted 3 things and it was under $20. Our finished pieces are so cute and my kiddo treasures hers in her room. Can't wait to go back! AND we snagged a couple gift cards for Mammaw and Nana! I hope Doodlin never leaves!
