Potts N Paints offers 2 locations - VB and Chesapeake. This location is convenienty located in a strip shopping center near Lynnhaven Mall with ample parking. The space is huge with lots of private tables. They have a huge selection of pottery with prices ranging based on size and a ton of tools to use - not just the standard brushes. On this visit though, my daughter wanted to splatter paint. There is a separate room for getting - literally - as messy as you want. A blank canvas welcomes creativity! Once suited up with a poncho, goggles and shoe covers, it's a free for all. You can even slingshot paint-soaked sponges! The even have a bicycle-powered splatter table to make cool centrifuge designs. It's a great spot to let the imagination run wild. It's a little pricey at $50/canvas but it made for great memories for my little girl. And she has a long-lasting memento to hang on her wall. Staff was so kind and helpful during our visit, offering instruction and guidance when needed. It's also a great place to consider hosting a birthday party, girls outing, team building event, etc. This is a fun place to spend an hour or two!

There are endless options of projects to make. You do not need to be creative or an artist or have any kinds of skill. You just need to be willing to make something. OUR group was all skill levels from no skill to totally skilled. We all had a blast. This is not your typical ceramic pots and paint anymore. It is AWESOME!!! Things they offer. *Pottery-- they offer a huge wall of various bisque and everything that you can think of including glazes, open paint bar, stamps, stencils and paint pens. They also fire the pieces after you glaze them. So you paint them and leave them to get fired and then you pick them up after the items are ready. *Canvas--You can pick any size and pick whatever design you want to paint. They have predrawn canvases available, Or you can schedule a class. They have an open paint bar. *Clay--They have all kinds of tools to work with clay for hand-building. They also offer Pottery Wheel sessions. *Glass fusing art--They have a wonderful assortment of colors and types of glass to make a completed glass fused project. *Mosaics--they have a pretty good selection of tile and colors and wood shapes to complete a project. The best part about POTTS N PAINTS is that you have endless options of things to choose from. One person can choose glass fusing art and another person can choose to paint a ceramic plate . You are not stuck making all the same thing. Like I said you have endless options. This is my new favorite place to hang out. Don't worry about getting messy. They have a wall of aprons to cover up your clothes. You can bring any drinks that you want even alcoholic drinks. For my husband I took him a beer because it was his birthday. And everyone needs a birthday beer(LOL) We opted to just walk in and make different projects but you can book parties and join classes. If you have questions like I did you can call or just walk in and find out how it all works. I'm totally in love with this place not only for all the super cool projects but because of the amazingly friendly and helpful staff. And they were playing really good music too.

Cost was a bit much, but I suppose if you're serious about art, then you'd go ahead and pay the exorbitant prices as passion takes money. After all, high prices are the trend nowadays, so why not?

Warning for potential shoppers, if you make even just one purchase here, you will get ads in the mail promoting this place for the rest of your days.

But, there was a sign on the door stating kids under 26 were not allowed. We did not see the sign upon entering. So the employee told us. So I placed my kiddos in the car... AC was on, doors locked. With that being said I was a little offended they were not allowed inside. They are well behaved. When we asked why, the employee said she was just following what her boss/owner said. As I walked around the store they do have ALOT of things to offer in the world of cross stitching. So if that's your passion this is a good place. The employee was helpful throughout. She was nice. But, signs throughout asking not to touch the displays, were kinda off putting too. In the end it's a good store for supplies, and patterns. Just do not come with kiddos.
