The items to choose from are from cups to bowls and even nice magnets that can be gifted to others. The prices are very reasonable and they always do a great job explaining the process and helping us out. Recently my mother hosted a birthday for my little sister and it was a blast. They held more than 11 people and did a great job glazing our paintings in 1hr. We had the other hour to eat pizza that we provided although they have variety options that includes cake and pizza as well, we just didn't choose that since we had custom made cakes and other items. The birthday was a blast and successful, everyone was really astonished by the outcome. Thank you Creative Hands for making that experience fun!

I have felt so warm and welcomed at every visit, and I have explored so many new art mediums and ideas because of Jerry's and the kind, patient staff who keep the place running. I feel so lucky to have a store like this that makes stocking up on supplies or testing something different such a seamless and enjoyable endeavor. I have the most wonderful collection of Artfinity and Posca markers from here. The oil brushes are to die for. Prices are very competitive and there are constantly various promotions, discounts and even clearance items available at times. The Mother's Day special was phenomenal this year. I look forward to supporting Jerry's for years to come and encourage you to do the same if you're lucky enough to swing by the area!

They have Bullseye glass at 40% off and then a large variety of other glass supplies including multiple display stands in metal, granite and plastic, decals, specialty cut pieces (cats, dogs, crosses, fish, etc), etching kits, speciality stencils, a variety of molds and more. There's a gallery at the front of the shop with many beautiful pieces. And, they also have great classes where everything is supplied at very competitive prices for all levels of students. The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. If you want a new hobby and or you want to see new kiln glass products and great prices on Bullseye glass, check out Contempo in Arlington.

They have an amazing selection of pieces to paint--whether you want something classic, seasonal, or totally unique, they have something for everyone. But what really sets them apart is how helpful and encouraging they are. If you're feeling indecisive or need inspiration, they always have great suggestions and creative ideas to get you started. This past Christmas, we took our 2 1/2-year-old, and the owner went above and beyond to help us create the most precious keepsake. She helped us smoosh our child's little hands onto a plate (which, if you've ever tried, you know can be a challenge!). Then, for just a small extra fee, their in-house artist hand-painted a reindeer with "antler hands" and "Merry Christmas" wording so perfectly--it looked like it was laser-etched or Cricut-cut, but she freehanded it and layered it three or four times to absolute perfection. It turned out SO cute. I cannot emphasize that enough! The selection of pieces they have for painting is actually useful--which I love. It's not just vases or teacups (though they do have those if you want them). They have things you'd actually use in your daily life, like yarn bowls (perfect if you crochet, knit, or do fiber arts), coaster sets, and all sorts of seasonal decor for Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and more. It makes the experience even better knowing that you're painting something fun that you'll also get to use or display in your home. Beyond pottery, they also offer other types of art, like mosaic glass projects. I didn't try that yet, but the examples they had on display looked really fun. I'd love to go back and give it a shot! The location is also fantastic. It's in a great part of town, where you can easily make a whole day of it. After painting, you can grab something to eat at one of the nearby restaurants, then take a stroll around the little duck pond just down the way. If you're like my husband and me and love all-day dates, this spot is a perfect starting point for a fun, relaxing day together. Whether you're looking for a solo creative escape, a fun date night, a get-together with friends, or even a special event like a bridal shower, this is the place to go! They even have a private party room that's slightly tucked away but still lets in gorgeous natural light--perfect for a small gathering. And to top it all off? Super easy parking! No stress, just a relaxing and fun experience from start to finish. Side note: This is NOT a paid review. I know it's long and maybe has that "sponsored" vibe, but I genuinely just love this place. I've been to a few different pottery painting studios before, and this one stands out because of the low-stress, welcoming atmosphere. No one is hovering over you, but they're always there if you need help. And when you finish your piece, they hype you up--but in a way that feels real and not forced. It's little things like that that make the experience so enjoyable. If you're considering going--do it! You'll have the best time.

Easy to make recipes but not at all boring! Great instruction. You may eat things you thought you didn't like and now love. Go online to check out their menu because there's a great variety. I went alone but it'd make a great date night or friend date. You can be as involved in the cooking as you want to be or you can kick back and relax, have some wine and watch others take control. Leave your readers at home since everything is prepped and measured! Met so many nice people (there were 11 of us). Plenty of room. They validate parking inside! Easy to find. Lots of other fun stuff going on in that part of town. I wish I would have brought a Tupperware though because I couldn't finish it all! Can't wait to try out my new recipes at home.
