    Obsessed with this place! We came to paint on a rainy day, and it was the best. The workers are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely need to come back to try the food/drinks!

    Really cute pottery + coffee shop in Fremont! I did a group hand building class and came back twice to glaze and pick up the finished piece. You're basically left to your own devices, so I'd recommend coming in with a solid plan. It's great to have instructors in the first segment to give you tips and help troubleshoot if needed. Our instructor did come over an hour late, so I felt rushed because I had another commitment later in the day. They also have pre-made pottery that you can just paint. I will definitely want to come back and try that next time! They have a small parking lot with a few spots, but street parking is manageable, though you may need to circle around a bit. There are a lot of cute restaurants nearby too, this is located in such a cute neighborhood. I'd definitely come back, probably just to paint and not build. Either way, it's a cute location and fun activity to do with friends!

    Dog friendly, coffee & snacks available with unlimited creative freedom? This is the place to be if you're looking to spend a cozy creative session with your dog! Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was absolutely a blast. There is ample seating and simple instructions to get started with painting your own pre existing ceramics. I didn't try the wheelthrowing class but it was extremely easy to walk in , find a seat then get started with painting right away. You pay once youre complete and the glaze takes about a week to finish n be ready for pick up. I would totally come back here for several occasions.

    I visited wet clay cafe on my way to gasworks park! The cafe is conveniently located right outside of a bus stop and is only ~10 minutes from the park. I loved the earthy tones and airy vibe of the place which doubles as a pottery studio! I ordered an iced chai latte ($6) which was reasonably priced and really good!! The barista was friendly and made my drink fast. I would definitely stop by again for another drink or to try out pottery! I love concept cafes, and this one has an inviting vibe. There's outdoor seating and games which all around makes it a great space to come with friends and stay a bit longer :)

    I've been here twice now to paint some pottery! It's the cutest cafe offering pottery classes, paint on your own pieces, and some food and drinks as well. I initially came here with my sister for my birthday and we had a great time painting the clay piece we chose. I went back a week later to pick up the finished pieces. I loved the experience and vibes and came back with my husband for a painting date! It's worth the prices! Would love to go back.

    All of our pieces.

    I am obsessed with this place. Had a couple of friends visiting, so we brought them here to just have a relaxing time together. I will say - do not get the matcha! It was basically milk, but the other beverages are nice. All my friends decided to paint something different, and their price ranges are fantastic. They range from around $15 - $55 a piece. The vibes are adorable, and everyone is just in their zone enjoying the ambiance. They are also very helpful if you have any questions about how to paint, or what the next steps are. Also, bonus! They have 2 adorable little puppies wandering around. They also interestingly have some sort of reptile (not wandering around). We stayed here for around 2 hours just chatting and painting. I picked up our pieces about a month after. A great weekend/post work activity! I will be visiting again and again.

    What a lovely community space. Came by on a weekday afternoon and saw folks co-working on laptops in the large cafe area and a couple painting pottery. There is a large and beautiful interior space, well lit, with cute outdoor seating as well. I should come by and paint Pottery sometime. My housemate really enjoyed here gift card classes.

    Super fun experience. We went to the Saturday social class for a friend's birthday. Instructor Erin was patient and good humored and most importantly let us all get into it right away. Other pottery classes probably have you do prelim work for hours before you get on the wheel - with this one, we got to get right down to it. And yes, my results were pretty terrible, but yes, I had a lot of fun and many of us became interested in doing a more serious class. Would definitely recommend!

    It was such a wonderful experience to enjoy with my friends. We made a lot of cute items and they came out super good! The foods that we ordered was so delicious and I would highly recommend this place to you all!

    My receipt showing the multiple extra charges.

    A friend and I went and painted pottery on January 2nd. We had a great time painting! However, this business levies a service charge of 15% on all transactions (we didn't get any food) AND a credit card surcharge. I could maybe understand having a credit card surcharge on small transactions, like under $10. But just raise your prices. Don't nickel and dime your customers!

    Came back here couple time since my last visit and it's been great. Classes are great and would definitely recommend.

    I was so excited to check this place out! A group for 3 went in for my birthday. They have a full coffee bar (obviously), would be cute if they had seasonal drinks but ordered a basic vanilla latte. Their almond crossaint was so tasty! We were new to how the pottery painting went. You scan a QR code that makes you watch a video on how the process works but it would be so great if there were visible signs with the directions and even label the sections? We obviously understood what to do but we spent a good 10 mins trying to figure it out. You paint your item - they had so many options! Then you pay and then it and pick up in 7-10 days. They don't tell you if it's ready so we'll see how they turn out! I'm definitely coming back!

However, it's worth it IMO! Weekends are busy and there's generally a wait. However, I opted to paint outside and got seated right away. They have a great selection of items to paint. I picked two jars. They have a variety of supplies that allowed me to bring my vision to life! The number of colors they have to select from is vast too. They have a wide range of brushes and tools, and I appreciated their two sizes of paint pen detail bottles--perfect for writing! Nicky was so helpful and accommodating.

The staff was friendly and helped us understand the process of picking out a piece and painting it. There are also instructions on the wall on the steps you need to take to decorate your piece and there are labels everywhere to make sure you know what you're doing. When you first walk in, you pick a piece of pottery out to decorate/paint. There are a ton of items to select from including bowls, mugs figurines, and plates. I picked a little bowl to paint and pulled up my Pinterest board for inspiration. I went to go pick out my colors and they all had swatches on them with 1-3 coats of paint to show you how it looks when fired. They also have precision tip paint bottles (in the same selection as the regular paint) for little details and stamps. They provide you with assortment of paint brushes, decorated pieces for inspiration and different foam applicators for ombre looks. They also give you ceramic palettes and a water mug to clean off your paintbrushes. After you're done with decorating, you clean up your items and put them in the correct compartments for the staff to wash. Then you pay and they tell you when you can pick it up (usually within a week). There was only one staff member when we were there, but she was super helpful and kind. As we left around 6 PM on Friday, it got very busy.

This one is different: set on a private property in a quiet neighborhood in South Seattle, it feels calm, personal, and connected. For those of us who live just south of the city, it's such a treat to have a space like this nearby. The event space itself is gorgeous, and perfect for groups. The owner took time to walk us through everything and even offered drinks (such a thoughtful touch). What really impressed me was the selection -- not just the usual imported pottery, but also pieces made by local artists. I chose a heart-shaped dish I'd never seen before, and it truly feels like I created something unique. Between the fun variety of pottery, multiple art mediums, easy parking, an on-site bathroom, and pricing that's better than the mall studios, this place is a gem. Highly recommend for both casual painters and anyone looking for a more elevated, memorable experience.

The full process took about 3 weeks total. Our pottery class was on March 29th, we came back to paint on April 12th, and then picked everything up on April 17th. It honestly felt like such a fun extended experience getting to come back and see everything through. The painting portion was super enjoyable too. They offer a variety of glazes, some classic colors included at no extra cost, plus a few specialty options for a small fee. My fiancé chose the "Safari" glaze (just $1 extra), which had these cool glass pieces that melt in the kiln and create such a unique pattern. Definitely worth trying if you want something a little different! Pickup was easy overall. My only small suggestion would be to clarify the pickup hours on the card that's handed out after painting. Google hours seem to reflect member hours, while the hours posted on the door are different. When I arrived, they technically weren't open yet (my mistake, I'm sorry!), but the person at the front desk was super kind and still helped me find my pieces, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, such a great experience from start to finish. Thank you so much Creative Hands Studio, we'll definitely be back!

I do wish there was a specific color in the smaller tip bottle for better line work. They were sweet and let us finish our work after the pottery painting open time was coming to a close. It was pretty pricy though. My total was $51.45 after tax & tip for a charger plate. They give you a card for when pick up is ready 1 week after. I confirmed we will be back in 1 week to pick up. This is quite far from where I live in Lake Stevens so it's a bit of a drive. I met my friend in Monroe and drove from there to go pick up our pottery - making it a fun girls day! We were SO excited. Upon picking up, she got hers fine but apparently mine had a chip in it and the lady was kind enough to fix it. But, with that said I had to wait even longer to pick up since she put it back in the kiln. She took my cell number and said she would text me when it is ready for pick up. Very frustrating as we drove ALL the way out there to pick up our pieces. And now I had to make ANOTHER trip out there to pick up. A waste of gas. They need to have a better communication service for when your piece is in the kiln vs. ready for pick up. This is not a system at all and I can see it could frustrate a lot of people in the future. I hope they fix this.
