We offer themed birthday packages accommodating up to 10 guests with options like Perfect Mug, Party Animal, and Piggy Bank themes. Each package includes project materials, private room access, staff assistance, and themed decorations. Additional guests can join for a small fee, making celebrations customizable for different group sizes.

Fun place! We chose to paint mugs and had a good experience. I look forward to going back again.
Decent prices, friendly/helpful staff.

Very friendly knowledgeable employees. Very reasonable prices. Fun place for people of all ages. They love kids and they even do private birthday parties. You can paint on canvas or pottery or make something out of glass. They are willing to assist you if you need it. And you don't even have to clean up your mess when you are done.

Great place to take the whole family for a nice day out. All of you can choose different things to paint and they also have a number of classes during the year as well.
