My husband brought my daughter & I here to paint pottery. It was a cool experience. You pick your piece, pay, receive instruction, find a seat & paint. The space is clean. They had a decent amount of options to choose from. It is not a quick project, so expect to spend some time here. Prices start around $25. We were told 1-2 weeks to pick up the final project. I can't wait to see it. I would go back & paint again. It would be cool for groups as well. read more

My girls and I signed up for the Saturday pottery wheel class and it was such a fun experience. None of us have done an activity like this so it was pretty exciting. The class held about 12 people. Our instructor was so nice and patient. She helped everybody and left no student behind. It was so interesting to do! Our bowl shapes turned out pretty good! And we got to paint them! They'll contact us in 2-3 weeks when they're dry and finished read more

I booked a one-time pottery class at Speckles + Splatter with my friend for her birthday - she lives within walking distance of this awesome shop and this shop is in such a prime area of Dearborn - just a block down and over from downtown Dearborn and very easily accessible! I found this shop through the recommendation of another friend who had done their 6-week course here where they learned how to throw clay and then got to spend the remainder of the time just making any and all pieces to their hearts desire! For our pottery class, it was definitely very beginner and with a few more guidelines/boundaries. We were all given a certain amount of clay and led through the basics of how to shape clay on a pottery wheel. From there, we were able to shape it up into general "pot" shapes. Unfortunately, this clay/glaze/method is not food-safe, so my dreams of making a little matcha bowl for myself were dashed! But I still had a super fun time getting reacquainted with pottery after my few weeks of pottery class in my senior year of college before I realized it was going to be a bit too much for me and dropped the course LOL! NOTE: I would highly recommend not doing this class if you've got long acrylics/longer nails! My nails were at their longest length (had been growing them out for about 2 months I believe?) and it made it extremely difficult to shape the clay! The instructor is super helpful no matter what and gives you tips and workarounds for people with long nails, but I'd just recommend cutting them short (if possible) before this class as I think I would've done a way better job if I had done that with mine! All in all though, the instructor is so knowledgeable about all the potential and actual pitfalls people might make during this class and is super helpful in general in calling these out before they happen or helping you fix your clay after you do! I really enjoyed this class and I think my friend did too! Her and her husband are interested, especially given how close they live to the studio, in doing the 6-week course/membership where you can throw to your heart's content and I really hope they do that! I would easily do it too if it weren't located this far from me, but I'm over here considering it regardless of the distance because I had that great of a time! read more

My wife and I did a pottery class where we learned how to work with clay and made bowls. The class was a lot of fun, Matti was a great instructor, directions were clear and easy to follow. Would definitely come back and do this activity again. read more

This was such a cool experience. The location was clean and the set up was nice! However, the service was awful. The front desk receptionist was rude and had no customer service skills. And our instructor was extremely passive aggressive and VERY judgmental. It was hard to enjoy myself when she was very harsh and critical to everyone's project-- as if we weren't all beginners. I even wanted to take a weekly course but I'll never bring my service back here unfortunately. I don't remember her name but it takes much more than pottery skills to be a good teacher, please hire more friendly instructors that make the course worth it :) read more

This is such a fun hang out idea! There are so many options to paint and the service is incredible! We had to ask for so many paint changes and fillings but each time she was so helpful and got us what we needed. There is a range of prices for the items, so it's pretty affordable, but it can get pretty expensive. However, I highly recommend! read more

Wife, daughter, myself, each of us making a clay pot on a potters wheel. Then painting, for later glazing. It was great. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. The person who guided us through those steps was amazing. read more

My best friend and I wanted something new to do and something fun! This was an absolute wonderful place to stop in and visit. We met the owner, Aman/Matti, and assistant(?) artist, Ms. Kelly. Both who were so wonderful and kind! When we arrived it was close to 430 and we took forever to decide what we wanted to do. They have so many items to choose from on the shelves and it was nice to see the prices listed right on the shelving with it. They have a nice selection of colors that you pick out six from and they have no problem providing you other colors or refills on your selected colors. The staff are super helpful and do wonderful work of their own which is so beautiful! If you don't want to do a clay figurine you can do a wall plaque, mosaic, or ornament. Make sure you wear something to keep you warm! It got kind of cold while in there! read more

We had a group of 6 and we all had a pretty good time. The rest of the ladies decided to paint and I did a mosaic. You can chose from different things to paint and do mosaic on. Prices depend on the item you're choosing. I got to take my mosaic home - they give you instructions for grouting at home. The items you paint you have to leave behind so they can fire it up with the kiln. I think you go back the next weekend to retrieve. All in all it was a good time. I'd definitely recommend. read more

They have a nice selection of pieces to choose from when you come in to paint ceramics. We were able to easily make a reservation on their website and when we came in the staff was so knowledgeable and friendly! It was a great date night for us, but I know my younger siblings would love it too. We will definitely be back again! read more

A fun way to hang out with the friends and create good memories. I love the mug that I created (even though my hubby has claimed it for himself) and hope that we get back and do it again. Friendly employees and other customers, karaoke was fun to listen to - we will return (almost sounds like a threat, but it isn't!) read more

such a cute place, great for a date or a big group. So many things to do! Very attentive staff will help if needed but pretty free to do your own thing. We did the painting pottery. it they also had mosaics, and an actual pottery class too. Would def go back! read more

Cute small little place. Very welcoming and helpful. Rose was very nice and helped me a lot and was very patient would definitely recommend her if you ever get the chance! read more

Took my nephew (4) here for a play date. He had a great time, the owner even took him into the kiln room (they were not on) to explain when would be happening to his dinosaur. A few weeks later I had my birthday party in their semi private space. All 17 ladies had a great time painting their pottery. They have a lot of pre made pottery to select from which is great including seasonal selections, process was super easy. WE WILL BE BACK! read more

When I went in the entire time me and my friends felt judged by the employees, they did not give us clear directions on what to do. The bowl I pained ended up breaking in the kiln they called me and told me I would get a refund, after a long THREE MONTHS of me calling them I still have NOT gotten my money back I have called numinous times and every time they told me my refund should hit my account in 1-5 business days. I do not recommend this place. read more

Wonderful place .... simply magical!! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by super friendly staff... April is just delightful and super helpful and if you're a newbie, she takes the time to explain the whole painting process. What I also find great about this place is the super great level of organization. Everything is accounted for. From the paint color tile grids, to the ceramic selections... it all makes sense and is helpful in ones understanding of pottery painting and glaze. They also have wood painting and offer classes and different events throughout the month. And the place itself is huge and spacious. You can easily get lost in painting and the music selection ambiance. A wonderful asset to west Dearborn in general. And a must if you're looking for a relaxing art filled day! read more

I went the first time for a clay-building mug class. I absolutely loved it and the outcome of it. I then went back to pain the mug and create a mosaic piece and I loved that as well. I recently went back with my little cousins and created a plate that I attached the picture of below. I went a week ago with a friend to their pottery wheel class where I created a bowl. Although their classes are a bit on the pricier side, everything that you learn in the class and what you do and take home ends up being worth every penny. I'm so happy this place has opened up, we really needed something like it here. It's an amazing creative outlet. read more

Great experience! Very friendly staff, fun atmosphere, and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

Nice spot! Great customer service. The owner is very friendly and frequently checks in on us.

What a great concept, it's truly something our community needed! The studio is lovely, organized and the atmosphere is perfect to just relax with a good piece is art work. The owners were so attentive and everyone looked like they were enjoying their time. There are small pieces of ceramics, wood work and mosaics to be finished and personalized. Prices range from a few dollars to around $50+ so there is something for everyone. The dedication of the staff shows through in their attention to detail and willingness to help or give advice. We had a great girls night out and we all can't wait to try out some different types of media next time. We hope S+S thrives and is around for a long time! read more
