We were there today to pick up pieces that we had glazed the sat before for my roommates birthday…read more Three of us chose one piece each, a fox and a dolphin figurine and I chose an owl box that I now have sitting on my bedside table that I will keep Jewelry in because our cats LOVE my jewelry. Moonstones and Malachite pieces most of all. But now they can't get to it. The place was warm and inviting. Prices were a little steep for some things but considering all glazes and the firing are factored into the prices. I will be going back with the same friends +1 later this month in order to paint more. The ladies running this were very helpful selecting pieces and glazing them as well. Prices range from $5 to $60. I believe. I have thoughts of choosing a single mug and pot that could sit with my Altar items. I also want to do a triple Goddess trivet too. If I can make any suggestions, it would be, since their greenware comes from China... If they got ANY Anime figurines and such would be super great. For example: Totoro, Catbus, No Face, Raddish Spirit these from Studio Ghibli films. From Bed and Breakfast for Spirits: Ginji the 9 tailed fox, Master Inn-keeper, Japanese temples. They do have a nice selection of Star Wars pieces too. Including the Mandalorian. Fantasy characters like faeries and dragons and faery houses too. I just think they are missing out there because if they could get anything from any Studio Ghibli films, Bed & Breakfast for Spirits, Flying Witch, "Zodiac characters" from Fruits Basket series, and so much more we would come at least twice a week to paint/glaze pieces. Last note, if you go in during your birthday you can glaze a piece of cake plate for free.

My girls and I signed up for the Saturday pottery wheel class and it was such a fun experience…read more None of us have done an activity like this so it was pretty exciting.

As a first time visitor from Texas, I was excited to have fun and get creative. As we walked in for…read moreour appointment, The owner disclosed to us that we were not allowed to touch anything, just look and pick. Once we made a decision, picked our products and sat down to start painting, we noticed l a party came in and those children touched everything! She never told them it was not allowed. My friend had a 1 1/2 year old and the owner was obviously annoyed that we even brought a small child, but I did not see any age limits on the site. So when my friend called to let her know how she felt, the owner apologized and expressed that it wasn't Chuck-e-Cheese. Seriously???? Anyway, Long story short...You paint pottery, and you have to wash and clean up all of your brushes, pallets, and the table. And when your stuff is ready, they set the stuff outside for you to pick up. (Who does that?) If you just want to go somewhere that is unsociable. Lol then here is the place to go!

The tactile nature of working with clay is deeply meditative, creating a deeper connection to your creative side. Stress Relief and Mindfulness: Pottery is more than just an art form; it's a therapeutic practice. It's true! It's science! The process of shaping, smoothing, and perfecting clay has proven to be incredibly calming. Working with clay might not burn the same amount of calories as yoga, but you can enter a state of mindfulness, reducing stress and tension from your busy life. Social Connection: It's hard to make new friends when you're older. But joining a pottery class is a fantastic way to meet new people and build a sense of community. We see it every day, people making new friends while making something with their hands. sharing tips, techniques, and stories with fellow potters. It's the sweetest thing.
