They have an array of bath bombs, wonderful lip balms, moisturizing soaps, and room scents. You could spend all day in here especially with the classes offered. I am grateful to have taken a informative and thorough class. It gave me a lot of generous options in how to make soap and what I can use and make in small batches. The teacher was so encouraging, and greatly took time and consideration in answering questions and offering the best feedback. She has a genuine love for her artisanal work and it mirrors in the way she treats her students. Thank you for such a wonderful representation of small businesses in Tacoma. I came in not knowing what to expect and leaving quite loved. Oh yeah, she shares a store with a vintage clothing store. It is so cool!

I believe in honesty and the site is aware the product sent was incorrect but believes I am a liar and refused to refund my money. My last email from the site stated "But really I would never be in your position because I don't believe any of this happened, and you can't show evidence to the contrary, so you weren't in that position either. I genuinely hope you get help for...whatever has gone on in your life that has led you to this conversation." Nice customer service! I have never posted a bad review but I did today and to the BBB.

I felt like there was a good amount of colors, but I wish they had a really bright pink. I had their full latte, and it was nice.

We were able to get in, find pieces we wanted, get a whole schpeal about best ways to paint, different styles, etc. super useful. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

We brought a toddler, he had fun painting his mug (and himself.) they had a high chair which made it loads easier. Overall, it's fun regardless of age (our group ranged from 2-65, there were tables with kids and couples on dates.) and a unique experience. I'm no painter and hardly creative, but I had fun.

Here is what happened: One of the first interview questions that was asked was around kicking people out that didnt agree with their political opinions. Next, the white women discussed blood/moon rituals, and was scolded by the other owner to stop. It was unprofessional and did not highlight their dynamic in a positive light. I was then asked to teach someone who had never thrown before, the owner, which I wasnt Informed of, or I would have prepared. The expectation to teach a surprise lesson was incredibly inequitable and a horrible interview practice. The fact that she didnt know how to pull was shocking, as this is a basic technique in ceramics. She didnt inform me that this was a skill she needed to be taught. Unfortunately, all the owners now how to do is turn a kiln off and on. Everyone who purchases a peice is lucky that the glazes stick. I went home feeling pretty terrible about the experience. When I called to ask about the status of the position I was told that they chose someone with more experience and a degree. Y'all i have a masters degree in ceramics and have taught high school ceramics for 10 years. Linda then admitted she didnt really know why they went with another canidate and offered a sales position which i declined. Overall incredibly disrespectful, inequitable, and unprofessional.

Most…read morestudios I've been to are in strip malls and they are busy, crowded, and you're lucky if you find a table. This one is different: set on a private property in a quiet neighborhood in South Seattle, it feels calm, personal, and connected. For those of us who live just south of the city, it's such a treat to have a space like this nearby. The event space itself is gorgeous, and perfect for groups. The owner took time to walk us through everything and even offered drinks (such a thoughtful touch). What really impressed me was the selection -- not just the usual imported pottery, but also pieces made by local artists. I chose a heart-shaped dish I'd never seen before, and it truly feels like I created something unique. Between the fun variety of pottery, multiple art mediums, easy parking, an on-site bathroom, and pricing that's better than the mall studios, this place is a gem. Highly recommend for both casual painters and anyone looking for a more elevated, memorable experience.

Paint is included, and they also fire your piece for you and notify you about a week later when it's ready for pickup. The process was easy and relaxed, and it's a really fun activity whether you're going solo or with friends. They also provide aprons if you need them, which is helpful. The only downside is seating--if you're a party of two and want to sit next to each other, you can't, since you're seated across from one another. Other than that, everything was smooth and enjoyable.

There are so many options if you want to come create a ceramic piece of art. Adults and kids will both have a blast with all the options they have to offer. Karey (the shop owner) is also incredibly thoughtful with all of the art options she has to offer in the store. So if ceramics aren't your thing, you can always try glass fusing, mosaics, etc. In addition to daily drop in offerings, Karey provides exciting camps for kiddos (both during summer and the school year), with an extensive offering of art options. There are plenty of kid nights planned throughout the year, which my daughter (age 7) LOVES attending! I have also had two birthday parties at Heart and Soul, and Karey worked with me thoughtfully to curate experiences that my children were beyond excited for.

The staff was friendly and helped us understand the process of picking out a piece and painting it. There are also instructions on the wall on the steps you need to take to decorate your piece and there are labels everywhere to make sure you know what you're doing. When you first walk in, you pick a piece of pottery out to decorate/paint. There are a ton of items to select from including bowls, mugs figurines, and plates. I picked a little bowl to paint and pulled up my Pinterest board for inspiration. I went to go pick out my colors and they all had swatches on them with 1-3 coats of paint to show you how it looks when fired. They also have precision tip paint bottles (in the same selection as the regular paint) for little details and stamps. They provide you with assortment of paint brushes, decorated pieces for inspiration and different foam applicators for ombre looks. They also give you ceramic palettes and a water mug to clean off your paintbrushes. After you're done with decorating, you clean up your items and put them in the correct compartments for the staff to wash. Then you pay and they tell you when you can pick it up (usually within a week). There was only one staff member when we were there, but she was super helpful and kind. As we left around 6 PM on Friday, it got very busy.
