I've been several times! It's a great way to create memories with the kids. After my 3rd child, I took them and put their hand prints on tiles. After it was finished by the, I put a felt backing on it and had a coasters to give my husband for Christmas with our kids hand prints. There are so many create things you can do!

My friends and I have been coming here for years. It's a fun place to unwind and get lost in creating your very own masterpiece! It can be busy on the weekends so be aware of that. We were politely asked by one of the workers if we would mind sharing our table with another couple. We didn't mind. The owner hires some of the best people. They are kind and helpful to all that come in to paint. The wait to pick up your finished piece is worth it when you get to peek in your bag and see the finished product!

My three boys and I love Simply Pottery, Wendy - the owner - and the atmosphere. It is so much fun to make handmade Christmas gifts for grandparents. The pricing is very reasonable too.
