Great selection of things to paint and not too expensive (though not necessarily a cheap activity in general esp if you have a big family, but relatively speaking). I do miss the old hours when they were open later on Fridays. We have to go on weekends now and it's just not the same when there's a ton of kids and birthday parties vs being quieter and mostly adults in the evening. Still a great time though and we will always come back!

My granddaughter's birthday party was here and the kids (14 of them) had a fantastic time. The girl in charge of the party was very patient and had total control the entire time. She even let my one grandson sit at a separate table and continue his project when the allotted craft time was over.

What a fun place! My daughter and I always try to find something new to do together. She loves arts and crafts. This place was perfect and she had a lot of fun. Looking forward to picking up the finished piece and coming back again.

I came here with my daughter during their Mommy and Me night which is every Monday for a $1 studio fee. You still pay for the piece that you're painting which ranges from $4 up to $40 depending on the size of the pottery. We picked out 2 little pottery owls and then the staff kindly walked us through the different steps--grabbing a paper plate, brushes, and choosing different colors of paint (unlimited) from the center display. It was fun and relaxing to sit in the quiet studio which has lots of big tables to paint at. Afterwards, you pay at the counter and they called us 1 week later to
