It was nice that we could bring any food and drinks we wanted, even some Champagne and hard seltzer for parents. Cheers to that :) Also, it was nice to have the party at a room separated from the main store. Besides the pottery painting I added cupcakes decorating activity and it was a success. All kids loved it of course! A week after the party, I received a text message that all our pottery was ready and thats so nice too, much quicker than expected. I definitely recommend this place! We'll be back for sure.

Ugh I'm kind of obsessed with this place!! I can't stop coming back because of just how fun and…read morecreative you get to be! Basically, adults pay $8 for a studio fee, then you get to sit there as long as you'd like and paint your ceramic. They have a whole wall to choose from with an abundance of different designs, and your final price is based on which piece that you chose. My heart shaped mini pot was $22. In the three times I've been here, the designs have switched out often, so there's always something new to paint. The color chart is also super helpful and you can use an unlimited amount of colors (not that you need that many to complete a ceramic anyways). After you're finished with your design, you wait 2-3 weeks while they glaze and fire it. Then, it's all set and you get to use it forever!! Truly, this is such a fun date night or girls night activity!! I've been with a bunch of different people, and it's always a fun time!

I bring my kids here every year for their birthdays, and they absolutely love picking out something to paint and spending time creating their own little masterpieces. It's also a great way to keep them busy and kill some time! Robin, the owner, is always so friendly and sweet, and the staff are just as helpful and welcoming. Everyone here makes the experience feel easy and fun. If you're looking for something fun to do with the kids, definitely check this place out! We'll be back again next year for our birthday tradition!

We had the most amazing birthday party for our five-year-old at the Painted Penguin Hawthorn Mall…read more Robin made the experience most importantly a blast (both parents and kids had such fun), was organized to keeping moving the event forward (i.e., the painting, then the drawing, then the food, then the cake, then the giving out of goody bags and goodbyes), and everyone at The Painted Penguin were so kind, helpful, and didn't hesitate to involve themselves when they saw a need, like organizing our table for the food, leading the kids to the table with the painting, giving the kids all the instructions (and paint!) they needed, etc. It was just such a seamless, wonderful experience, all thanks to The Painted Penguin and, most importantly, Robin and her staff. On a personal note, Robin also found out I was an author, bought my most recent book, and put the book front and center, for her staff and our guests to see. It meant so much to me. Thank you so much for such a memorable time, and for such a unforgettable birthday party for my oldest daughter, Nina!

I'm so happy with how the tree turned out. It took more hours of painting than I expected, but the team there was good about giving me instructions. They play music and I saw people of all ages painting different projects. You have to plan ahead a few weeks for when you need your items to be ready, as it takes time for them to pour the molds, dry them, for you to paint, and then wait for kiln firing and cooling especially during the busy holiday season. I love the tree's vintage charm and they've got a lot of other things you can paint at all price ranges.

The lady at the kiln was so cheerful and sweet, too. Admittedly the prices feel steep, but honestly, the service and quality are so good, with a huge selection of under $20 options, that it kind of balances itself out. I booked the party space a week in advance for $25 and they provided all the tableware, lighters, and knives for cutting the birthday cake, so no worries if you forgot anything! All of the paints are lined up on several shelves opposite the register. There were easily 30+ paint options with textures/speckles, matte, and two-tone. For adults, I found it hilarious that they have 420-friendly selections and some funny pieces to paint. Stop by if you're curious about an art-fueled adventure.

The studio is a bit small but and enough space for you to roam about and do your thing. The first step was to handle the clay then they thought us how to handle the wheel and then we got to choose if we wanted a vase, a cup or a bowl. We were in a small group of 6 due to which the teachers could explain and help us well. We ended up upgrading our class to include paint as well as we got to know that without the paint we won't be able to use the things we made of it involves water. My friend made a cute cup and I made a not so cute vase. I would definitely say that but the end of the class, we were rushing a bit and would have appreciated some help and tips from the teachers but we didn't get any. We had to constantly ask about things and where the brushes were and where the paints were. Since it was our first ever class, we would have appreciated a bit more help from the teachers in managing our time and helpful tips on how to glaze correctly instead of having to ask everything ourselves when we are already rushing. Regardless, we had a lot of fun and can't wait to pick up our pieces soon!

There was a table for gifts and a table for snacks and drinks. We had an attendant that got the kids set up with the tools and paints they needed. The kids got to pick from really cute pieces to paint. We had the from for 1:45 but since there was no party booked after ours we got sit in there for two hours. My daughter had a great time and I would recommend them as a place to have a party. I wish that they would have written Happy Birthday on the chalk board in the room though. It still said merry Christmas lol.
