It was very nice and quiet place to go to. We weren't rush in any way. I can't wait to take my kids there to do a piece with them.

The owner is a very nice and accommodating man who helps all new customers understand what they're doing so that their project turns out great. Also a great place to take kids. Plenty of options to choose from and great prices. Finished products look great and make for adorable decorations or useful cups and plates

Nice place to do a fun craft with the family. I appreciate the honor reaching out correctly and while I don't feel that this is like a roller coaster experience I think it is a great experience for a family or even a couple who desires to make something unique that they select and that they can customize to their desires. All in all I would rate this a 10 out of 10 experience, and I would definitely be back and recommend it to others.

The beautiful thing about this store is you dont have to be an artist to paint! All of the pieces are 100% original when done being fired in the kiln, and all of the pieces are breathtaking! Every time I go to The Kilted Kiln, I feel like Im being greeted by my best friend! Its a wonderful place to sit, relax and just get lost in art! The staff are so friendly and helpful! If youve never been, its worth it to stop in, say hi and stay for a while painting!

The kilted kiln is a treasured place nestled in downtown Meadville. My two daughters and I love going there. Its relaxing and the hours fly by. We went there once 1 1/2 hours before closing. After painting, we realized it was a half hour after closing. We quickly finished and apologized to the owner who had no worries or concerns. He was so wonderful to us. Turn around time is just a few days and its always so neat to see how our pieces turn out. I cannot express how much I love this place. I hope anyone and everyone gives it a shot because it wont be your last visit. Thank you kilted
