Terra Mia Ceramic Studio — Local services in San Francisco

Came here as a birthday surprise from my three other girlfriends. Upon walking in, I was overwhelmed with the selection of items to paint. I literally stood there for at least 10 minutes trying to figure out what I want to paint and bring home. I ended up with the mini pot and spoon to match my pots at home. We chose to sit outside in an opened area behind the shop so the fumes wouldn’t be too much and fresh air on a nice day. The back was conveniently located nearby a sink so we could wash-up afterwards. There’s so many colors and paint brushes, too, so don’t be worried colors or supplies running low. I fell in love with the speckled paint and used it all over my pot. My friend is the point of contact and were suppose to have heard from them Thursday for pick-up (we painted on a Monday) — so a three day turnaround but cannot wait to see my final product! Price for the items painted are reasonable too (my pot was around $20-25 dollars). I think the total was around $175 for 4 people but was a nice time to spend with my friends doing something...

If you don't know what you're doing, the staff will help you and explain the process.

What I've done here several times is book a birthday party. You can call or go in and get pricing. They have a private backroom for the private birthday party, you get hte room for 1 1/2 hrs. One a nice day, you can use the patio area right outside the backroom to have cake and food. This is great because the kids have lots of fun and in about a week, you come back and pick up the pottery which they...

We showed up right at 11am which is when they were supposed to open but they were still locked up tight. I work customer service so I figured something happened, maybe someone was late, and we gave them time. After walking around, trying to kill time, we finally checked back around noon. Still closed. Double checked the hours on everything. Yelp, Google, their website, all of them said they were open at 11. FINALLY around 2:30pm, they open their doors. Aside from the very late start and false hours, we had a lovely time there. Good selection of colors, the staff was very friendly and explained everything for us, and we had a very good time. TLDR: they don't open when they say they do but overall still...
