This place is awesome!! The staff was very helpful and the ability to paint and purchase your pottery was reasonably priced. The best part is they also have a coffee shop within their business too. I recommend if you are looking for a date night, fun night with your kids, or even a girls night this is the place to go. No extra fees for firing or using their paint either.

This is a great place to have a birthday party. We had our daughters15th birthday party there and it was great. Everyone had a great time and we are for sure coming back to paint more and take some classes.
