Where have you been all my life?!!! We found out they've…read moreonly been around for a couple of years. Family owned business, dad helps out, so does their son, mom teaches pottery classes. So we celebrated 5 birthdays, 12 of us came to paint ceramics, we brought snacks, and drinks. If you didn't have any snacks, this place has snacks and candy you can purchase. Since we were a large group we took the upstairs level. Not easy for people with knee problems, but we managed. So we set up our snacks, Italian sodas, and birthday cake, then we went downstairs to choose what we wanted to paint. Items range anywhere from 20.00 and up. One of the birthday girls had to bring her granddaughter and she had a blast. Another young gal took her newborn and carried him in a pouch while she painted. Staff was very helpful. We had a color chart to choose our colors, we told them what we wanted and they brought to us and replenished paint when needed. Each station had water, sponges, brushes, lazy Susan, and a tray for your paint. We held the space for two hours. Perfect timing because they closed at 5pm on Sunday. They will glaze our projects, and next week one of us will pick it up and bring to everyone. Now we want to go back and take a pottery class. Everything is so affordable including the classes. So glad this one exists, because the one we used to go to in Auburn to pain canvas closed down permanently. I posted a photo of the wall of ceramics to choose from.

I've been to a few paint your own pottery places and had recently seen this place so decided to…read morestep in a whim with two people. Make sure you wear layers, it was FREEZING inside. I'm used to more of a selection of pottery to paint, but there were still definitely something for everyone, but it might have skewed more to items for kids. Prices were higher than I've seen at other places, but this is more of a mom and pop type shop so I'm glad to pay it. After you pick out your pieces you are given a tiny pallette for your colors and you have to write down your color choices for the worker to dole out your paint to you. I didn't love this. I can see how this is helpful from kids using too much paint or making a mess. but with three adults it was a bit annoying to have to keep asking for more paint refills. We weren't given any direction on what to do. Two of us had done this before but one of us hadn't so we had to be the one to tell him to wipe the dust off your piece, make sure to do three coats, etc. When we got our finished pieces back, I was a little surprised that the entire piece wasn't glazed. I'm used to every side being glazed including the bottom. One of us painted a turtle and he left part of the face blank, and that part didn't get glazed which was pretty weird.

The place is really big, easy to find with a nice big sign right on the building and parking right in front. Has a lot of different rooms and a lot of art displayed in each. I loved walking around everywhere and looking at it, it was definitely encouraging us to want to come back and partake in even more classes she has to offer! Cora was even nice enough to give us one of the pieces that she had done that the three of us liked the best. Definitely recommend this place and we'll be back soon! Thanks Cora!

Cora was really good at explaining our options and helping us make our selections. Her space is very welcoming and cozy, I appreciated how she was available for questions and assistance but also gave us free rein to pick and choose scents/colors/materials. For the class fee, you really get a lot out of the lesson time, definitely worth coming to a class and I look forward to coming to some of the other classes in the future!

Her space definitely sparks creativity with a combination of simple and exciting decor. You can just tell that a lot of magic is made in the room and there are a variety of artistic mediums all around. The class itself was well paced and fun. I had water colored a few times on my own, but it was cool to learn some techniques and get to practice them. Everyone's pieces turned out a little different, but that was part of the fun. Ashley created an amazing sense of support and community and was a fabulous guide. I would love to take another class from her someday in the future!

My 21-month-old had a good time here today! I needed a place reasonably close by to take him on…read morerainy days. Cost is $10 for one child for all day and the place seemed clean and bright. The place has a big, climbable fire truck that my son loved. The place has several different themed rooms (grocery store, beauty salon, vet clinic, fire station) with coordinating toys and dress-up clothing for pretend play. The woman at the front desk said more themed rooms were in the works, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they add. Plus, there is a big play house with two sets of stairs and a big twisty slide to get down. I did see a small area for younger babies that i think was labeled for toddlers, but there is no way a walking kiddo will want to stay put there when they see all the cool stuff there is to explore! Kids and adults keep their shoes on here, and I noticed two party rooms for birthday parties. They also have events from time to time. Tonight, for example, they are doing pumpkin decorating. Apparently there is also a preschool here, although I don't know anything about it. You will have to decide for yourself if the place is worth the cost. My son only makes it about an hour at any play place / playground before he tires out or melts down, and he enjoys Kids Cove up in Bellevue (which is free) just as much, but some days driving up to Bellevue in 405 traffic is a pain and I'd rather go somewhere closer by that doesn't involve a mall parking lot (esp as the Christmas shopping season draws near). Plus going to the same places over and over gets monotonous for me as a parent. Wish there were more options in Renton where I live, but I still feel this place is worth the 20-minute drive. We will be coming back!
