    Similar to my first review on Wedge, The Pottery Place took place during the same weekend as a bonding event with my sorority sisters. I am happy to say that it was one of the best creative experiences that I have had and it is a hidden gem in the CU area. I know for sure that will be returning in the future! Check-In: Two days before our scheduled appointment, my roommate and I paid our first visit to the studio. It was only thirty minutes until they closed and yet when we walked in an employee instantly greeted us with a warm welcome. After explaining that we were coming in to take care of a deposit for our party, he quickly gave us a run through of how the day would go. We were able to preview the elephants that were ordered for us and were given the chance to browse all other figurines. He was even happy enough to answer all (literally ALL) of our questions to ensure the day of would run smoothly. He was quite informative in the procedures from when we would arrive to the pick up of the items. He was definitely a super informative employee that set a great tone for the company. Day Of: The day of our painting appointment, the studio was packed with families and friends. We were instantly escorted to our room full of three long tables and three smaller ones with multiple chairs surrounding each one. At each spot, there was an elephant in place and small pallets to hold our paint. An employee came in to give us brief instructions about the different types of paints, locations of supplies and the process of payment (which takes place at the end of the session). There was a wide range of variety in brushes and paints. During the entire session, there was background music that was soothing and the employees were attentive to any needs. We stayed for about an hour and a half with wrapping up by paying $12 at the counter. Pick Up: After a few days, I went to pick up the bulk of the elephants; however, there was a bit of a miscommunication. The night before the pick-up, the order did not dry properly and to ensure the best results, they kept them for an extra day. After the initial pick up, I did not return until after Fall break. Each elephant was labeled with a name, wrapped in paper and placed in individual, small brown bags. Overall, I am excited to return back because of their superb service, soothing environment and wide range of options. Would recommend it to anyone in the CU area to at least experience once.

    Finished product of my mug! (I use it as my personal cereal bowl though because it's big!)

    Book parties back to back. Did not feel welcome as a person of color. Unprofessional.

    The staff were very helpful. We painted pottery which took about 2 hours. It was a lot of fun and we received our pottery with in 3 days.

    They keep your painted piece to finish with glaze and dry and you come back to pick it up a few days later.

    Love this place! I have been to a few different painting places and I have to say this one has the…read moremost pieces to choose from to paint which I love! It's very nicely set up, the staff is friendly and welcoming and it's overall a great vibe! We walked in and were given a table but soon enough they had to start turning people away so I would suggest a reservation on the weekends! It is pretty pricey but I'm okay with that for the experience and atmosphere there :) I painted a vase and my daughter painted a corgi and it was $100 before tax. There is a sitting fee for each person painting and then you choose your piece you want to paint which has its own price tag. There is so much to choose from I am sure anyone can find something in their budget! I personally really like the way they provide paint cups of the 5 colors you choose ( I think if you asked nicely they might let you have another color if you started painting and realized you needed another color). So it's not like we need painting trays or anything like at other paint studios! I can't wait to pick up our pieces after the glazing! We will be back to paint more treasures!

    What an amazing place and people! I had my toddler granddaughter for a week and they helped me make…read morea bunch of family handmade gifts. When one didn't glaze perfectly they invited us back to redo it at no cost. While we were doing this my teen signed up for one of their sculpting classes and it was amazing. Again the service and creativity are just top notch! Looking forward to our next project!

    I'm disappointed to see how many bulk, sub-par art materials that Hobby Lobby merchandisers in…read moretheir assortments. (Chinese 130lb watercolor paper? Seriously? FYI for non-watercolors t's out there - there Re standards... 90lb, 120lb, 140lb, 300lb etc.) They run regular sales of 30-40% off, but that just makes their pricing right on average with where it should be to complete with real art supply stores like Dick Blick. Be careful at checkout, too. Even though the price is marked at X, the checker may ring you up at X + 10% because "that's what the computer charged." Here's an example of pricing: individual student quality (Staedtler) watercolor pencil marked at $1.79, I was charged $1.99. I later was at Art Coop and they carried PRO quality watercolor pencils (Derwent) for $1.60 ea. I've visited Hobby Lobby for the last time. I won't be back.

However! Why did I spend an hour there? First I needed a frame. They had a bunch in the right size (Target had zero in the right size.) Then I needed some markers, brushes, and paints to reclaim the tiny drop of creativity I had in my life before I went to MIT. I was SHOCKED at how good the selection was, and how cheap. Then I thought maybe I would start making a scrapbook! This store made me want to start making a scrapbook! I barely made it out without a scrapbook! AH! Still doesn't meet muster for stationery (no premium papers or notebooks), but I'll be back. I know I'll be back. **Shudder**
