Brought the family out to create after finding out about it on Facebook on a page I follow. Can't say I'm disappointed, everyone had fun and I hope that our projects turn out good! I would love to come back for a class.

I would never go back here. We went with our 2 kids (just under 10) and from the second we walked it, it wasnt a great first experience. We were greeted and told the ceramic selection was on the wall if we wanted to paint. Prices of the items were not posted, so we picked out 4 of the smallest items to paint. We had to ask where we could get the paint, and were given no direction on how we needed to paint them or how many coats to get a good looking piece. One of the employees took a call on speaker phone with a repair guy the entire time we were there, and you could hear every word that was

Amazing experience during my first time visiting this studio yesterday! Had a small group (all adults) pottery painting day for a birthday and it was great. Employees were very helpful in explaining everything, as well as helping with various techniques and tips. Everyone was super friendly. What a wonderful environment! Will definitely be coming back! :)

Creative License is awesome. We took our children out to do some art. Since we were there my wife and I figured why not do art too? Turns out its a lot of fun to snip away at colorful glass then have it fused into unique bowls, dishes or just beautiful things to look at. Painting ceramics is fun and makes for great gifts for moms and dads. Who doesnt love an oversized coffee mug with their childs unique in the world art? We have some incredibly cool clay pieces that the kids shaped by hand then painted and that Creative License fired including an insanely cool frog and a miniature bird

Each experience at Creative License has been amazing. All of the staff I have worked with are incredibly caring and friendly. Including the owner herself! There are so many of these places popping up right now for the do-it-yourself/guided arts and crafts, and Angela has helped make Creative License one of the most comfortable and welcoming studios I've been to! Definitely recommend if you're feeling crafty but aren't quite sure how to express it - so many beautiful options from painting to pottery!

I recently moved to Hartford and had my eye on this place since I moved here. Finally got to go and was very happy I did! They have tons of options on the main floor and also have a great clearance section thats 25% off. Everyone was very friendly and helpful in explaining what was what and how to do things. I did a ceramic mug which I got about a week later. It turned out gorgeous! I didnt need to put my name on it thankfully because it would have took away from the piece in my book. Definitely would recommend and going back!

Went here for a corporate painting party, so the studio was open only to our group for the entire evening. There was enough room for 3-4 people at a table even with all the art supplies spread out. We had the option of painting pottery, canvas, or making fused glass. The employees were very knowledgeable about the art/techniques, especially the fused glass which I had never even heard of before. Everyone working with glass was guided through the process from start to finish and they all turned out amazing! Very fun evening seeing what everyone could create. Within a week, the pottery and fused
