When my 5 yo acted up, she was super calm and understanding. She even helped us perfect her piece. Saule also expedited all the pieces for us because we live out of the area and were leaving in a couple of days. If I lived in the area I'd want a membership or discount because I'd be back and there's an $8 painter's fee (which adds up!). HIGHLY recommend!!!!

Finally got through…read moretoday and wanted to make an appointment for tomorrow and to talk to Jamie about her response to my review. Upon answering the phone, Jamie was extremely defensive and said she would not be giving me a credit or a refund without bringing the piece in first and continued on about how this was an oversight and didn't warrant a review. Bottom line: I called to try and set up another appointment and instead she decided to ramble on to me about how inappropriate of a review this was. I tried in between her continual angry rant explain that I was not able to contact her first about it. When I picked up my piece I tried calling. After her response to my review I tried calling. Jamie became progressively became rude and argumentative despite me just wanting to support a local business. Again, I tried calling multiple times even after I left the place with my project. I waited on hold multiple times, left a message, and attempted to communicate this to her, but she only continued to argue, despite my minimal engagement and direct statement of intent to inquire about the post she left and come back. Terrible customer service. Honestly left the phone call shaken by how a customer could be treated for wanting to come back and inquiring about the response to a review. Disappointed because we had fun the first time and wanted to try it again. Update to Jamie's response of slandering a customer: Never did I ask for a free session! I called asking to set up an appointment for tomorrow and asked since I was going in what my options were for the project that the original post was about! Maybe if she wasn't so busy accusing me of being "inhumane" for an honest review she could have understood what I communicated to the first individual who answered the phone!! So after being yelled at by her and my character attacked for writing a review I told her I was no longer interested in bringing my piece in as it was a gift anyway for someone. Jamie came on the phone ready to just argue and accuse me of being a bad person for writing a review. It's hurtful to be accused and responded to this way for vocalizing my experience. Over the phone Jamie was extremely disrespectful and disruptive. It's unbelievable to be accused of a false review for stating my experience and being extremely disrespected. Sorry Jamie, you will not intimidate me or bully with your business practices or argumentative behavior.

The person who is helping us seem very inexperienced or not a regular worker there. Most of the staff was occupied with a party and kind of just left us in the back without much tools.

They also didn't have the price on some thing & made us wait about a half an hour for the price before we could leave so we were unable to pay.

I have never had such a horrible experience, and I've gone to many pottery painting studios. We came as a family and picked out a large piece to work on together and even though we were all paying a studio fee, the paint was getting rationed to us, and they got annoyed when we ran out and asked for more. SO stingy and unpleasant. Grace hovered over us the whole time, interfering and telling us how much paint to use (she didn't want us to use too much even though I knew from past experience that it needs 2-3 coats of paint or else it looks streaky) It was just so unpleasant. There are no prices on the pieces, and they only allow three paint colors - the whole thing had a dishonest and stingy feel. The owner was mad and huffy because we were working on a large piece together as a family instead of individual pieces. An expensive piece mind you! One of the benches was shaky which made it hard to paint and when we asked to switch for a chair that no one was using we were told we were making too many requests and we should leave! I have NEVER - in any other painting studio - had my paint colors restricted or rationed or told how many coats I can put on the piece or how many people can work together THIS WAS RIDICULOUS!!!! There are so many other local pottery places - find somewhere more kind, family oriented and friendly if you want to have a good time. I wish I would have read the other one star reviews before I came here because what they describe was exactly my experience.

LONG BRANCH: Blue Skies Pottery is a new addition to the popular Pier Village complex and it…read moreprovides a fun activity for people of all ages! A full service pottery shop, customers have the option to paint ready-made pottery, use a pottery wheel to craft a piece from scratch, or really get hands-on and use your hands to mold your own beautiful work of art. At the Yelp New Jersey Elite event, the hand building class was quite an experience where the friendly owners and staff showed us how to take a ball of clay and using pinch pot form, style it into a bowl. Once the bowl shape took form, we embellished the clay with molds to add design elements. I loved the paw print mold! The staff was very helpful to assist and made sure the art was sturdy and ready for the oven. We got to pick what color we wanted and the staff will paint it later. Pieces are usually ready 3-4 weeks after your visit, so it is a great reason to come back to the area to pick up the finished art. I loved to learn the location is dog friendly, as long as your dog is well-behaved. Since the experience requires full attention and is hands-on, being in control of your pup is extra important. There was a doggie guest there during my visit and was a perfect pup. Blue Skies Pottery also hosts events and collaborates with local businesses including hosting a paw print ornament workshop with the pet store next door. Thanks to Katarina for planning this event and to the owners Valerie & Jordan for welcoming us! Nimra & Andrew were helpful staff members and supportive of all the creativity. In addition to Long Branch, they also have a store in Hoboken!
