What a cool place to do some art, eat, and drink with your friends! It's all self service. Find a table, browse your piece and then start painting! You don't pay until after you're done painting. Then you pick up your piece after 8 days. There is a station by the register where you get your paints, materials, ect. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, and informative. Def recommend!

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.

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!

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!

Kristy L.

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!

More tables for dining, art projects, computer work space.
Marlee K.

This is the coziest art space! Very welcoming to my group of watercolor artists even though the focus here is on pottery. Many wheels, storage, classes. And food and drinks too! Highly recommend, great atmosphere.

It was a fun hangout spot. Food can be pricy. Also if you go later in the day they won't have lots of options left.

Such a fun place to come for an activity!…read more We went early on Saturday which I highly recommend! If you walk in after 11 am, you most likely will be looking at a long wait. 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. He reviewed how the pair a work and the process thoroughly but succinctly. He brought my chosen pieces out to the table since I had my dog with me. It is dog friendly outside! Not sure about inside. Check out was pretty seamless, and Erica did a great job with my checkout! The prices for the pieces are comparable to ones I saw at another similar establishment, which was good to see.

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.

Most…read morestudios I've been to are in strip malls and they are busy, crowded, and you're lucky if you find a table. 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.

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!
