It's a tradition, and we always meet interesting people (tonight we just happened to have painted with Shelby County's Delta Sigma Theta chapter). Bring your own food and beverage (we did lemonade) and there's music to bop to. Not too noisy, so you can enjoy conversation and share a laugh. Cool art teacher with a fun personality and a healthy love for cats. No right or wrong or pressure to be perfect. Just let your creativity shine and have fun.

However, they offer multiple public workshops. Being prompt is important to ensure you are able to complete your project during the allotted time frame. The ladies at Hammer and Stain gave clear instructions and were helpful with any questions or hiccups that came up. I had a great time doing my project. I loved this outcome and I'm already trying to convince some people to come back with me soon.

This would be great to do with a group of friends. The classes fill up pretty quick so if you see something you want to do, don't wait to sign up. Prices for each class can vary depending on what you want to do. I chose the barn quilt which had varying prices depending on size you chose and whether you wanted it framed or unframed. This was a great way to spend an afternoon. You can bring your own drinks if you would like to enjoy some wine while you work. My class took between 3 to 4 hours depending on how fast you worked. Some experienced people were able to get done quicker than me! Ok I was the last one done and that was with some help from a friend. Lol. But who's judging. There was only one instructor for our class which was probably too few for as many people as there were. However, she was very nice and everyone in the class seemed to be helping everyone else so we made do. I highly recommend this place. I will be signing up for other ones. Really fun and you get something to take home and enjoy!

My friend reserved a table for a group of us, which gives you a time slot to work on your craft. When you are done, they fire it for you, then contact you when it is ready to be picked up. They have such a wide variety of pottery pieces to choose from as well as many paint options and tools. Each paint option was labeled with a number and had a tile showing how the color would end up looking after the firing process, because the wet paint itself is a lighter/different color. Every employee I encountered was a delight, and so helpful. They walked you through the process and helped me with any paint questions I had. I also discovered they have stencils and things like that! There's a big parking lot in the back, or a few spots out front, easy for pick ups. Great experience for any type of outing, and it is family friendly. It's not the biggest space, so I do recommend booking a table. All of the pieces are labeled with a price that comes off in the kiln, and there's a wide range of price ranges for any budget. Some really cute items to choose from. Will be coming back :)
