It's a great place to channel your inner artist. Lots of ceramics to choose from. Multiple glazes allow for more creativity. Staff are helpful and willing to answer all your questions.

I've done the take home kit with my family and it was so fun to create our own masterpieces. It's like Christmas morning when you get it back all fired and pretty. Fun for ALL ages!! We will definitely be back!!

Held Girl Scout troop event here for a badge requirement. Staff was friendly, attentive, and took time with the Scouts to show them the kiln and how the pottery process works. They have a birthday cart with fixed maximum prices that is great for birthday parties.

This place was really cute. Great for a party, shower, or just a great afternoon activity. The staff was patient and did a nice job explaining how it all worked. One of the girls I was with did this cool "paper technique"! Definitely ask about it. Included and makes beautiful patterns so much easier~
Price and selection was good. Everything from little planters and mugs to serving dishes and glassware. Price included all paint! You do have to go back to pick up your masterpieces at a later date because of how kilns work!

I recently took a group of friends to paint mugs here, and our experience was absolutely wonderful! The staff were very nice and helpful, and the studio doesnt have any sort sitting fees which is refreshing. We had such a blast and are excited to pick up our pieces soon!

Cute space. Helpful staff. Good selections. Handicap accessible with tables that are not mounted to the ground and chairs that are easy to move out of the way. Parking can be tough if the plaza is at peak times

Went with my 10 and 13 year old kids. We all liked it. The noisy birthday party was annoying. Especially the parents standing around with nothing to do, one of whom bumped into my chair several times while I was painting. Staff is really nice and helpful.
