Highly recommended! A couple of weekends ago, we were looking for a fun activity to do together as a family! With the weather getting chilly, it needed to be an indoor activity. In that search, we found The Drawing Board, a pottery and art studio. The place is spacious & very well designed, and immediately sets a tone of tranquility.

Read moreReally a fantastic new store! In the same location as the former pottery painting place (BDE) that we enjoyed many Sundays and birthday parties, this updated store is beautifully remodeled and updated, to include new features such as pottery wheels and lessons, and clay sculpting!

Highly recommend for a relaxing afternoon/evening or your birthday party needs for all ages!
