I took my girlfriend here yesterday and we had a great time! The whole process was super easy. We…read morewalked in, were greeted right away, and they explained everything very clearly. You simply pick the pottery you want to paint, and the price is listed on the bottom of each piece, which makes it easy to choose. We spent about two hours painting and had a lot of fun with it. After you're finished, they keep the piece for about three days so it can be fired and cured in the kiln. Overall, it was a really fun and relaxing experience.

The workers were polite and helpful when it came to taking our reservation and getting our table set up. I love that they have so many colors and pottery pieces to choose from. Whether it's something seasonal, something small or large, a flower pot, or a coffee mug they have something for everyone. They also advertise that you can host birthday parties there and bring your own food and drinks without a corkage fee, which is a nice option for celebrations. The space is a decent size, with tables and chairs that can accommodate both small and larger groups. However, there was a foul smell when we first walked through the door not a paint smell, but something I honestly can't describe. Toward the back of the building, there was also a strong urine smell that lingered. Overall, we had a great experience painting! Our finished pieces were ready in about 4 days, and they give you up to 3 months to pick them up, which is really convenient.

I discovered the place through my friend, Greg Buchold. I had been admiring a Mardi Gras mask and wreath that he had put on his door and he told me about the place. I went looking for Mardi Gras stuff but was blown away by the extensive collection of cookbooks and design books that they sell, all discounted from retail list prices. But there was much much more. Just when I think I've seen everything there is to see in Houston, something new pops up on my radar. Check out the photos.

I was in the area for my birthday and she gave us suggestions on what else we could get into while we were there. They also had shoes, hello kitty and larger bears to paint. The process is very personal so that took some getting used to but I found that to be the most enjoyable about it. You get one hour to decorate your bear and if you're local you have a few days to pick it up once it dries. Our bears were $85 and shipping was $15. The delivery was smooth and my baby made it to me without any issues. I named her Fern :-). I'd definitely recommend this as a fun activity that's not liquor or food focused. Parking was a bit hectic but we were able to find something right outside. The area itself is walkable with lots of shops and places to eat surrounding it also.

I've purchased custom curtains before for 3-4x the price, and the exact same quality. Actually, I would say these are better. Ming and his team packaged the curtains for us in pristine condition, not one wrinkle. We didn't hang them up for several hours, and the packaging kept them crisp. They've got a repeat customer in me for sure!

I told him that I was about 7 minutes away and he informed me that he would wait for me to get there before closing! And he did just that. Such an awesome thing for him to do so I quickly grabbed what I needed and thanked him enormously on my way out.

When I arrived, I was grateful to see reserved parking spaces right in front. I was not eager to tackle Rice Village parking, so this convenience was a benefit for me. Upon walking in, I asked where I could find some potentially matching fabric and the salesgirl was so helpful! She pointed me in the right direction. Since I was looking for white fabric, she recommended I take the fabric outside in the sun to make sure it matches (can't trust white with the florescent lights!). That greatly helped, as the first fabric I thought would work ended up not matching at all once I took it in the sun. After a few tries, I found a fabric that was perfect! If in need of fabric, I definitely recommend coming to Universal Fabric Center. Lots of options to choose from and great service!
