You can paint a sculpture or a dish that you can actually use for food. You don't take your painting home with you so no paint all over your car. It takes two weeks for them to fire your artwork in a kiln. When you pick up then will even box it for you very carefully. I can't wait to go back!

Terrible experience. We had a reservation at 11am. There was only one employee working. He was…read morehelping a party of 12 five year olds. There was barely enough room to sit and paint. Another family left right before us because they had been waiting a long time to be helped. We waited 30min without the employee even saying hello. We ended up leaving because he was still helping the large party. I did not want to spend my money at a place that made us get a "reservation" and then proceeded to ignore us. For a place that charges so much for there pottery pieces I would think they could have more staff working on a Saturday. I was also shocked that their store was so dirty and cluttered. Seriously, it is so bad. The bathroom was also disgusting . I had high hopes for this place but was very disappointed.

I really liked Firefly Pottery and had a great experience here before, but my most recent visit…read morechanged my opinion of it. The new employees were constantly hovering and checking in on me while I was trying to focus, which felt unnecessary and stressful. They were also extremely pushy around closing time and kept reminding me starting about 30 minutes before even though I was already aware and planning to finish on time, which I did. Overall it did not feel like the same relaxed, enjoyable space I had experienced before.

The owner, her daughter and another employee were so nice and helpful without being intrusive. I am so happy that the owner was paying attention to what was going on as she came over to ask if the color I picked for my tree was what I actually wanted...it was not! I would have ended up with a blue tree. My daughter was trying to figure out colors that would complement each other on her piece and the owner's daughter is amazing at that. So glad we came in. We definitely will be back!!

You can pick your own item to paint. They have so many different options to choose from in varying price ranges. They give you all the materials you need, including apron , sponges and paint. They also give you clear instructions and suggestions. I decided to paint a spoon rest, something I've been looking for- functional and pretty. It cost around $24 which was fair pricing. While picking what to paint, keep in mind you have around 1.5-2hrs. So plan accordingly! After our painting, they text you within 10 days and you can go pick up your masterpiece. Plenty of free parking lot as well as street parking available in the area. I will definitely be back.

It is nice and glossy and it effectively removed that creepy unfinished clay like chalkboard feeling. They said it is dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe so excited to get it in rotation! They have a pretty quick turnaround time (3-5 days) and are very generous with their hold times. I embarrassingly will admit it took me a few months to get back to pick them up, and thankfully they still had them waiting in the back. Also, the garage DOES go through to the back of the building where The Painting Place is - so the directions are correct. It was much easier to get there this time when I realized it was a pull-through garage under the building lol.... I will definitely keep The Painting Place on my list for pottery crafts in the future!!

Staff here is very welcoming and friendly. Explained the process thoroughly…read more The setup is very similar to other pottery painting places I've been to. They even had pre-made paint palettes as an option. They also have some pottery pieces and things you can paint and take home the same day, but you can't eat from those items as they don't go thru the kiln. There wasn't a ton of variety in the pottery pieces to choose from, and the prices were a bit high compared to what I've seen in the past. We enjoyed our time. There were only two other parties there so it was very quiet and peaceful. Tip: if you use GPS for directions, it'll point you to the building across from theirs. They're right across from the Russian School. Their sign is a bit hidden. They do have a free parking lot.

We went as a birthday party of 4 and had made reservations ahead of time. There are signs in the…read morewindow and throughout the store stating they do special events such as birthdays, bachelorette parties etc. However, when we arrived you couldn't tell our table from anyone else's. Nothing was set up special for our party. This left me wondering what exactly do they do for parties? The selection of items was lacking. Many items were down to their last one. The paint selection was vast and plentiful. The brushes in the tables only included one brush of each size. If you wanted to do small, detailed work and someone else had the small brush you were out of luck. The bathroom didn't have a light and you had to use a flashlight in order to see where you were going. You could still see how filthy it was though. Cobwebs and dirt filled the corners. I didn't want to touch anything. In fact, the whole place was filthy. No one wore masks except our party. *Covid protocols were not enforced at all.* Restaurants have stricter mask wearing policies then they do! They started cleaning up 30 minutes before closing and the lady working had a loud conversation with another person about how she would "be in trouble if she was even 5 minutes late" so that we would be able to hear her. She and another person kept coming to our table asking if we were done with our paints yet. We felt rushed and disrespected. The passive aggressive attitude wasn't necessary. We drove over two hours to come to this little business that doesn't take credit cards and treats people poorly. Edit: January 12, 2021 -We are definitely getting the run around. Finally was able to get through and was told to call back. Called back and was told "I don't know anything about that call back." Called back and was told must call back. Looks like they are keeping our pieces out of spite over review. Three stars now down to one. Edit: February 7, 2021- Spoke with Kim, the owner. We should be getting our pieces soon. They are going to the post office tomorrow. She had been unaware of Stacey's treatment of us and has apologized profusely. I believe her to be sincere and very genuine.

The employees showed us around and made sure we knew where everything was and how to paint our pottery. There was a wide range of items to paint, so there's something for everyone's interests and budget. There was also a wide range of colors and paint brushes. I've done pottery painting a few times and I typically feel a little let down when I get the finished piece back... but not this time! Clay dreaming's instructions and tips for painting helped my piece to turn out just how I wanted it. Thank you to clay dreaming and I recommend this place for a wonderful date night!

Wish we had more time with our projects. We started about 10 minutes late because the instructor…read morewas picking up coffee and muffins for the class, then she took about 10 minutes to go through attendance/contact info. 20 minutes out of 90 is kind of substantial. Maybe attendance could be dealt with once the class has clay in front of them and they can use the time to prep clay/think of surface decoration. Nice idea, (although eating muffins with hands in clay isn't easy) execution could use some refining.

His friends had no idea what was going on so that is the extent of his 'disruption' so little that you had to be withing a foot of him. All he needed was a few minutes to Transition, no one event noticed what was going on and Yet this establishment asked him to leave. For them it was no big deal to remove a child who wasn't even doing anything big, rather than be inclusive and understanding. So if you have a child who has any sort of disability, or that may be needing a few minutes to reset, This IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THEM. They will ASK your kid to leave INFROUNT of your kid, who will hear and UNDERSTAND, that they were NOT welcomed in this establishment. Do BETTER!

When my son with disabilities arrived, he was slightly loud and complaining about how uncomfortable the chairs were while I was trying to help him. The manager approached us and told him that he needed to leave. He was unable to attend his friends party, with all of the friends, and left crying, saying, "I'm such a bad boy". This place is not accommodating, discriminatory, and non-inclusive to individuals with disabilities or even for just children having a moment. We will never go back there and have never been so insulted.
