Color Me Mine — Local services in Freehold Township

This was my first time painting a ceramic statue. I had a clear vision of what I wanted, and it took a while for the gnome ring tray to come in. I visited the studio frequently, as the employees took notice of my frequent visits and stated they would get the gnome ring tray again and to keep checking. When it finally came in, I purchased it because my husband could not find a piece that he wanted to paint that day. As we drew closer to Halloween, he finally found something to paint.

The friendly employees gave us a big wheel bowl with examples of how to achieve different looks. To ensure a great, vibrant color, she instructed us to apply three coats of paint for maximum coverage. At each table, we were provided with water and a bucket of brushes. They also gave us a tray to pick out our colors. The tray consisted of three small, three medium, and one large main color for you to choose your colors. They will gladly provide more paint if needed. I knew I wanted a speckled hat for my gnome, but was disappointed they did not offer me a toothbrush to achieve the splatter look I was hoping for.

My only real issue was the brushes. When painting, brushes are everything. The bristles easily came off and stuck to my ceramic piece. I had to carefully inspect my gnome and remove the fallen bristles to make sure they wouldn't be baked into the final product.

Once we finished, we gave our pieces to the employees, who said it would take one to two weeks for them to be glazed. The studio also charges a $12 per...

Very disappointed. I had purchased a coffee mug for $22 on Black Friday(11/26/21) to paint for my grandma's Christmas present. I had asked the woman at the desk if it would be safe to use acrylic paint on the outside of the mug since I was in a bit of a hurry and was hoping to paint it at home. She said that it would be completely fine, just that it would look "a little matte." I went home and painted the mug last week, and then tried washing it to make sure that it would be fine. The paint was ruined. I have attached a picture, keep in mind this is after only a two minute hand wash. I called the store back today (12/5/21) explaining what had happened, and asked if I could either have an exchange or refund and offered them a copy of my receipt. The woman on the phone denied that the lady I'd spoken to had told me that, stating that they never tell their customers such a thing. Because of that, she told me that they would not be able to do an exchange or refund. They did offer to put my mug in their oven, but since the mug is already ruined, I didn't see much use in that. I would be happy to reconsider my review if they were to give me an exchange, but for now I am extremely unsatisfied with the product as well as their...

Wonderful place! Great options to choose to paint. Included all holidays around the winter time, which was absolutely wonderful! We were immediately greeted upon arrival of the store and got to choose what we wanted to paint. I chose a small fish statue which turned out to be about $30 in the end, so the prices are a bit steep, but overall I think this was worth it! We got to choose our paint colors and when we wanted more colors or different colors, we would immediately get to use them. It is also a nice clean place. People are saying that the bathroom was dirty; I didn't happen to notice that upon my visit. We stayed all day and painted, and when my fish was finally done, it was time to leave. We came back in about a week and picked up the statue. Turns out pretty shiny, so colors appear darker. Be aware of that during color choice! In the end, it was a wonderful place! Would definitely recommend. There were babies, kids, adults, and seniors there, all having fun! Great for any age. Hope you enjoyed my...
