Such a fun, indoor activity on a summer afternoon!…read more My friends and I came here after brunch and we had a blast. We had a group of 6 and made a reservation ahead of time. The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout our time there. For most of our group, it was our first time. You start by grabbing your piece, deciding on a design, choosing your colors, then you paint your design, and add the number of layers that they recommend. There were so many great pieces to choose from that were all reasonably priced. During the time we were there it was busy, but easy to move around the shop and quiet enough for our group to all chat while we worked. When we finished painting, they collected our pieces and we paid. I just got my finished piece and I love it!! Great experience!

I will say it's not the cheapest activity to do since they charge for the item and a studio fee so expect to pay around $35 if you choose something to paint on the cheaper end.

Would definitely go back!

The staff is very nice and guided us, than we were free to create whatever we wanted. Four weeks later, we returned to paint them, and we got them at our third visit.

My kids and I had a wonderful time, and I would recommend to anyone looking for something fun, creative, and different.

We showed up in April to make the pottery, were told to come back in a month to paint the pottery (no mention of having to pay an additional fee just to come back and paint the pottery) We come back in June to paint and paid the additional fee. Went back yesterday hoping to take home our pottery that took months for the establishment to produce, over a hundred dollars for the service, not to mention gas driving to Ybor, paying for parking, just to show up and one of the pieces of pottery broke in their care. Mind you, it took 15 minutes for them to locate the pottery. And after investing so much time, energy, AND MONEY into this process, just for the pottery to break under the establishments care, you would think that they would offer you a refund? NO! If this happens the only thing they offer you is to come back and do the process all over again. Really? I'd be a fool. A better system needs to be in place immediately. -The establishment needs to make it clear to customers, before they pay and agree to this process, that no refund is going to be offered if the pottery breaks in their care. (Like the owner said to us, "It happens") -The establishment needs to be responsible for a picture of the pottery. Have the customers create a profile with their information once they pay for the service. Save the picture to their profile. This would save the establishment and the customer so much time of searching when they return to paint their pottery. -The establishment should contact the customer when their pottery is ready to be painted and REMIND them of the additional fee that is required. -The establishment should save another picture of the pottery after it has been painted. -The establishment should contact the customer when their pottery is ready to be picked up. -The establishment should have the decency to contact the customer if the pottery brakes so they don't have to waste a trip to ybor just to hear "It happens".

A lot of selections to choose from which took us a while. The atmosphere was very relaxing felt at home after we chose what we decided to paint. Andrea explained all the instructions.

The shop itself is an adorable little gem, very comfortable, not overwhelming. Josie was amazing at explaining the process and was helpful throughout when we had questions (yes, even "dumb" ones). The Studio features simple, yet aesthetically pleasing pieces to choose from with a wonderful array of paints to choose from. THERE IS A DESIGN CENTER! This means you can choose from stencils of all sizes and patterns, stamp type devices to imprint designs, and best of all....a computer to search images that the studio will then image and re-size for you on the spot to have a custom stencil for your creation! I've tried painting my own wine glass, blah blah...hideous, but really I was in it for the experience. This studio raised the bar so much for me! I can make my own pieces that I will use on a daily basis that I just love... Headed back in a few weeks, I'm hooked! Who knew that this artless girl could be so...artsy? Potters House most certainly had my number- ADORE, LOVE, REVISIT.

Nice people, decent coffee, but no clearly posted hours or clear sense of what the heck is going on inside.

Hard to tell when it is or will be open.

Just had the strangest interaction at an ice cream place. Our family of 4 walked in tonight wanting…read moresome ice cream to go since we were picking up Cherrys anyway. As we checked out the ice cream options, we came across a "Christmas tree cake" flavor. We asked to try the flavor before buying, of course. The young lady helping us said they didn't have any sample spoons. No worries, we can use a regular one. She said, "no, only if you are buying something and putting it in a cup". Very odd. Does the establishment really expect a family of four to come destroy samples and not buy? Will take our business elsewhere. Obvious the establishment cares more about a penny cost of a spoon than servicing customers....

I drove an hour here to get Christmas gifts for my mom and sister. The store was quite full of people happily painting their ceramics. I thought the prices were rather high, but I did not realize the prices were meant for the items to be painted there, fired by the staff, and picked up later. Considering that, the prices were quite fair. When I took my items to the counter, once the nice lady found out my items were gifts to be painted at home, I was given a generous and very significant discount. My mom and sister loved their gifts and look forward to painting them soon. It's really great to see this now rare sort of "retro" arts and crafts store doing so well! I look forward to coming here again in the future.

For ceramic painting you only pay the price of your piece and can spend as much time as you need, including coming back as many days as you like before your piece is fired.
