So I met the owner at parenting class/ paint and sip that I went to and really enjoyed myself. I enjoyed myself so much that I went back to get paintings for myself and my painting party. When I tell you that we enjoyed ourselves so much. The paintings were ready on time, the owner was professional. I will definitely use this place again for my son's birthday party. I can't thank you enough.

The owner of this studio does not understand customer service in the least. All be it late, I called about my children's pottery from end of Feb and her immediate response was to attack me the entire time. If it was thrown out - fine - but to yell at a customer - claim that you called them on multiple occasions while still maintaining that I never pick up the phone (kind of absurd) and then that I was emailed about my pottery was all too much. When asked for the emails to be fwd - nothing. I understand everyone has been through a lot but there is a limit to treating someone as if they are

Fantastic studio with the kindest, most helpful people! I took a Mom and Tot class with my 2 year old daughter and she loved it (and so did I!). Would absolutely recommend.
