First time here. Told them it was. They said they were going to tell us about the paints. Waited ten minutes at the table but instead the employee just stood in the back playing with her phone. Other people were introduced the paints, but we were ignored.

This is a fun option for an indoor creative activity. I suggest making an appointment/reservation and they will have everything ready. There are many ceramic pieces to choose from. Prices start around $15 and go up to $50 ish. I was not a fan of the paint brushes, most were the thick round variety and bigger; nothing for detail work. I'm a novice and felt frustrated with that. Staff made sure we knew what to do, but did not coach or provide any further input. Not sure if scheduled groups are provided more attention but it didn't appear that way. It just differs from the Board and Brush type environment

I love coming here! They have so many pottery pieces to choose from. Dragons, cars, planes, mugs, light switch covers, etc! You choose your pottery and paint it any colors and designs you want. They keep it for 1-2ish weeks to "fire" it. This process makes it smooth and shiny. This is so much fun to do with kids or anybody in your family! Highly recommend for a family activity!
