This place is awesome! The only draw back is the usage fee. It's almost as high as some of the pieces. I understand why they have it, but it was a surprise none the less.

The staff is so friendly and helpful and had a super quick turn around with glazing and finishing my piece. They have a great selection and were extremely helpful with getting my babys hand and foot prints done.

We have gone in and done a "Day Date" here a few times with the most entertaining results. The staff is super friendly and happy to help show you techniques to achieve your goals, otherwise they leave you in peace to enjoy your time. We also did this the end of last year using the "take home pottery kit" option they offered due to COVID. This was a blast! We painted Christmas ornaments and absolutely adore how they turned out.

The store did offer for me to drop the mug back off and they would try to reglaze it, but living 40 minutes away its hardly worth my time.

I want to thank the talented staff who work here! I walked in not really knowing what to expect. Needless to say, my family and I walked out completely satisfied! This gem of a place was highly recommended by several colleagues in my office when I asked for recommendations on different ideas to expose my young, middle school age children to...something besides video games and television and a family event due to Covid-19s distancing. We were welcomed and were offered many options that set us up for fun and laughter at ourselves and each other during the process of our creations. The joy of
