Visited yesterday with my 5 year old and had a great time painting pottery. When I walked in I was immediately greeted and given the “lay of the land”. The lady was friendly and explained that you pick your pieces, colors from the table, & said they would seat me on the side of the room. The studio fee (to paint, fire, & glaze) was $7 for adults and $5 for kids. They have plenty of items to choose from for adults, kids and have many themes. Me and my daughter had our eye on a few items we will do next!
Once we picked our pieces we turned to see they were waiting at the table with our next set of instructions which included filling out a quick sheet with our name and info, writing a quick description of our pieces, and writing down colors from their chart. Moments later they took the sheets so they could get our colors and came back quickly with the colors and tips for painting our items.
They are good about having people periodically walk around to assist you, give you tips, etc as you are working. Once you are done you put initials on your piece and pay at the register. Pick up is about a week later.
I love that the paint is washable and stain free. Parents this means no stressing about kids getting paint on themselves and creating stains that won’t come out. Pottery pieces are $8ish to $20ish from what I saw but I didn’t look at large or seasonal items. There are many completed pieces out as examples or to help spark your creativity. They also have pottery making and glass fusing which looked really cool. There was a group doing this when we arrived. Snacks and drinks are there for purchase but you can also bring your own food and alcohol which is cool.
The only drawback I noticed is that while the place is pretty large in total size several of the tables are very close to and obstruct the pottery pieces. This made me a little nervous about my kid breaking something on accident and also feel bad for anyone who wanted to see a piece up close but couldn’t because I was sitting there & obstructing their view...
Read moreOriginally was very excited to visit for the first time for our date night. When we got there, the lady working at the reception area was less than inviting. She seemed moody and almost annoyed that we were there (we got there maybe an hour or two before closing - didn’t think it was an issue because we called beforehand to ensure we didn’t need an appointment). During our time they informed us of their closing time so we of course tried to hurry so that we didn’t keep them over their time, we totally understood that and didn’t want to inconvenience. Anyway... our fun date night turned into a mediocre one due to the less than stellar customer service as mentioned the worker seemed like she didn’t want to be there. She was short and seemed annoyed answering my questions. We went on a Sunday and the following Tuesday we received a call / voicemail that our projects were ready for pick up. We called back a few days later to check their times so we could go pick it up. Well, when we arrived they were closed and not open up to the time they informed us on the phone and there was a sign on the front door basically saying they close the studio earlier if they don’t have customers. We drove over 20 minutes to go pick up our projects. Very annoying. Overall we are happy with the way our projects turned out but that is the only positive I can say about my experience. I will not be returning and would also not recommend this studio regardless of the quality of products just based on the poor customer experience. In looking at the reviews it seems like the response is nearly always diminishing the customers poor experience so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the response I get here. Nonetheless, whether it’s a full house or just one couple in for a date night, customers should leave feeling like their money and time...
