We stopped by from out of town today, and will definitely be coming back! Laura was so awesome, and patient with our 1 year daughter- trying to do Christmas ornaments, and walking us through the whole process. Loved the atmosphere, and the selection. The pricing was very reasonable. We can't wait to see our creations. Thanks again!!!

This was the best clay painting experience Ive had. They had lots to choose from, a lot of space, plenty of color and Kathleen really took care of us. She set this pottery place apart. She helped us with the technical side but also was fun to collaborate with creatively. Our finished products came out better than expected.

They went out of their way for us on a last minute bachelorette. I love my mug and it was a wonderful time. Fantastic place to spend time.
