I've been to a few pottery studios (see review for Pic N' Paint in Pasadena, for example), and this is by far the nicest studio, has the most pleasant staff, and was the greatest experience so far.
The premise is simple: choose a piece to paint, pick your colors, and then pick up your finished piece in a week. I came here for a "Mom's Night Out" in early June and ended up painting a plate and bowl set for my son. One thing we weren't aware of is that you have to be finished your painting a half hour prior to the shop closing. I knew you had to be seated an hour before closing, but I was caught by surprise when I was told I had five minutes left to paint and the place was still open for another 35 minutes. Just be aware of the time when you're there. Other than that, it was a fantastic experience. Prices per piece were reasonable too. Also keep in mind that it takes three coats to get a nice solid color on your piece, so allow time to not only sketch and paint your design, but to give it three coats of each color as well. read more
