I had been to the prior location at Northwoods Mall multiple times and just stopped into their new…read morelocation at Tanger Outlets over the weekend. The space is cute and colorful. The staff is helpful and friendly and they have a variety of ceramics to choose from to paint. They also have options for painting canvases and creating glass art, which I haven't tried yet. I like the new location, which now has a space in the back with booths, etc for a quieter experience or for a group that needs a little more space to work. The only thing that threw me off was that there are a few different spots that have the ceramic options to paint, but they are on opposite side of the room, etc. So after browsing & selecting an item to paint, I happened to see another display on the other wall with items to choose from, but didn't notice them until after the fact. It would be a little easier to see all of my options in one area, but I also understand that people need the space to browse without being too crowded. I like being able to do something "artistic" without having a plan or following instructions. It might not always look the best, but I always have fun doing it!

The instructor was so nice, encouraging, and welcoming. She was very helpful and took her time demonstrating everything we needed to do. It was so step by step that an absolute beginner like me felt very comfortable with the process. On the night of the class, we made our mugs out of clay, then returned on a later day to paint and glaze them. When I went back to paint mine, the customer service was top notch again! There were so many different glazes to choose from, and the instructor explained which one would work best for my project and how different it could look after firing. When it was time to pick up my mug, it was bubble wrapped and placed in a bag with care instructions. Definitely 5 out of 5 stars! Just keep in mind that it will be a few weeks before you take your piece home. I absolutely loved how my mug turned out! I'm already signed up for two more classes, and I definitely recommend this place!

They made the whole experience smooth and stress-free, which let us just relax and enjoy being creative. The atmosphere was bright and inviting with both indoor and outdoor seating, so whether you want AC or sunshine, they've got you covered. Bonus: they'll ship your finished pieces if you're visiting from out of town. If you've got an hour and a half to spare, definitely check this place out.

The art cafe mentions it's better to make reservations so we did about a week or two in advance. A table was set up when we got there but there were only 2-3 families in there when we were there. I can imagine it'd get a lot busier on a rainy day though, so I wouldn't risk not calling ahead. I think the charge for each person was $8, plus the price of your piece. I had seen some people say they thought it was a pricy activity, and without any prices listed online I was a little anxious about how much it could end up costing. When you get checked it you're told to pick a ceramic piece off one of the shelves, and there was so much to look at. They really do have so much; big pieces, small pieces, bowls, plates, mugs, figures, ornaments, decor pieces, etc. The smaller pieces can be pretty cheap, I think the small bowls me and my daughter picked were around $10, but most definitely under $15. My son picked out a little race car and that was was probably around $15. But I saw much larger pieces that were $30+. So this can most definitely be a cheaper activity if you keep is small and I think the $8 fee for supplies, glazing and firing your pieces is perfectly reasonable. After you pick your pieces you can pick your colors off a chart on the wall that shows what the colors look like once the whole process is done. This was a fun way to spend an hour or so, and I love the little bowl I made. The staff was friendly and checked in on us frequently. I was able to get a color refill at one point. They give you the pick up information on your receipt, the turn around time was about three days and I'm pretty sure I saw it mentioned on their site that they'll pack and ship it to your home if you won't be around long enough to pick it up. We will most definitely be back next summer, I can see this being a great yearly tradition!

She was helpful to our group of 5 until 2 other groups arrived. You can't get your own paint or brushes and she doesn't have enough hands to help everyone. Very type A person and thats fine but it doesn't always work out. A week later when we went to pick up our items one piece was accidentally given away to the wrong person. While disappointing this could and should have had a better ending. The owner said she was able to locate the piece and we could stop by again once she has it. We don't live in Pawleys and the right thing to do would have been for her to offer to drop it off at the rightful owners house. She did refund the money but the end result wasn't what she wanted. She didn't sit for almost 2 hours painting an item to end up with the money.

It's two miles off the highway, and you drive through a very unremarkable and plain town, although there is cheap gas!! Once off the highway, there isn't any signage to follow. But don't give up!! It's only about 2 miles away. I talked with the staff person, and this place exists because several local SC artists worked with the governor's office to create this artisans center to support and highlight local SC artists. So, it has the support of the state government. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't exist in this tiny little town. The art is located in an adorable house, and there is ample parking and in the back. As others have commented, there are more than 200 artists that have their work displayed. Prices are also reasonable. I tried to rush through the whole gallery, and it took focus. But, if you are tight on time, 30 minutes is a minimum. They also have a very clean bathroom, if you are looking for a pit stop anyway. I purchased a cutting board, pinch pot, and some hair berets. They have something for everyone, and I took a bunch of photos. I am definitely going to make this a regular stop each time that I drive by. It's one of the most impressive and compressive art stores that I have ever seen. In North Carolina she said that the "southern guild" is kinda like their sister organization, as I guess that the founders of these organizations got together and petitioned the governors' offices at the same time. This place is truly a gem, and I am so happy with my purchases. There are also other items that I didn't purchase, but at least you can see the photos of those items, too.
